Happy Friday Night News Dump

Dear George Bush:

Thank you for giving this son of immigrants the opportunity to deprive brown people of their right to vote. I’m just sorry I won’t have the opportunity to do so during the 2008 election.

Love,

Hans

I’m sorry. That’s not exactly what Han von Spakovsky said in his letter withdrawing from consideration for FEC. He did mention being the son of immigrants:

The day that I was sworn in as a Commissioner in January of 2006 was almost exactly 55 years to the day from the date that my parents arrived in the United States as penniless war refugees. It says a great deal about what a wonderful country we live in that a first-generation son of immigrants could be appointed by the President to such a post of public service.

And he did boast about his service in the Civil Rights Division of DOJ.

I am very proud of the work that I did as a career lawyer at the Department of Justice, which has been validated by numerous federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

Spakovsky must have forgotten the "sometimes" in that last sentence, as he was also reversed by those same courts.

Mostly, though, this letter is all about victimization–his victimization, not those whose votes or civil rights he ignored. He explains as his reason for withdrawing that his family does "not have the financial resources to continue to wait until this matter is resolved" (which I’m frankly fairly sympathetic to). No mention of Mitch McConnell’s refusal to let Spakovsky get an upperdown vote of his very own, without yoking him to other, more palatable nominees. To hear Spakovsky tell it, he was due this nomination, and unfair mean opposition ruined it for him.

That’s a stance that Harry Reid does not agree with, to say the least.

I welcome the President’s decision to withdraw the controversial nomination of Mr. von Spakovsky. It is an action I have repeatedly urged the President to take for more than six months. Democrats stood united in their opposition to von Spakovsky because of his long and well-documented history of working to suppress the rights of minorities and the elderly to vote. He was not qualified to hold any position of trust in our government.

As I understand it, the Senate has a Rules Committee hearing scheduled for Wednesday, at which they will be prepared to discuss the three other nominees. I’m trying to clarify whether that means Commissioner Mason–the guy who said McCain was breaking his own damn campaign finance law–will be ousted, but it seems to be. (In fact, I think one of the people they’ve nominated is Donald McGahn, a former DeLay lawyer also involved on the edges of the NRCC scandal–so we may be trading racially biased policies for outright corruption.) I will update you when I figure out more.

    Hmmmmm… in a year when:
    ** Eliot Spitzer was almost certainly set up because he was revealing the CheneyBush efforts to take away state oversight for mortgage banking, and
    ** fraud at Bear Stearns to the tune of $32 b-b-billion is being bailed out by taxpayer dollars, and
    ** the Iraq Vets are receiving needed medical assistance, and…

    He helped enable and implement a system that dehumanizes people and tells them they are worthless. I’ll save my sympathy for the people who try to empower others

    His fate is between him and whoever he prays to.

  4. JThomason says:

    OT. Saying that the “appeasement” statement made in Israel was not directed at Obama is like saying that by attributing the intelligence in the 16 words to the British, greater scrutiny was inferred. Both are classic GWB bait and switch ploys designed to conceal his true intentions. Thats how he communicates. And those that communicate similarly get the message.

    • PetePierce says:

      OT and I don’t want to contribute to veering this thread off because there is a lot of irony in Hans von Spec having a career devoted to depriving people of their civil rights and voting rights, and invoking his immigrant parents as if he is buoyed by the freedom he has been lucky enough to have while doing his utmost to take it from others.

      I can’t predict the legs of a particular item that well and news cycle dynamics are unpredictable for me, but on a lot of levels this was a ridiculous blunder by Bush and McCain continues to step in it when he tries to talk about Hamass consistently conflating things Obama or any Democrat has ever said about them.

      This is not to mention the many videos of McCain flip flopping on virtually every issue including engaging in talks with the enemy.

      We all know that this was a metaphorical and consummately stupid move by Bush–and actually insults a lot of Jews who understand how ridiculous what Bush did was not to mention on the first level his historical misuse of appeasement and misunderstanding of the history of the period he invoked.

  5. TomJ says:

    Anyone suspect that Bush/McCain thought that Hillary would join them in attacking Obama over the ‘direct talks to crazy leaders’ issue?

    If she had, that would have really been a success for McCain.

  6. BoxTurtle says:

    This is excellent. However, it seems very important to BushCo’s plans to have a Spakovsky on the FEC. So I worry why they conceeded now and whom they will suggest to replace him.

          I’m sure psychologists or linguists/semantic experts have words for the bullshit of the term “homeland” metastasizing but the main objective by Bush and whoever the idiots were that named DHS was to be formulaic and to invoke fear pure.

          When it became rapidly ridiculous that the words “Homeland Security” quickly became an oxymoron because the agency was incompetent and dysfunctional, the term became all the more absurd.

  23. JohnLopresti says:

    I think ew has a good instinct on the vonSpakovsky issue, seeming more up to date than a commentary in PublicCitizen last week which provides a parliamentarian view of what decoupling vonSpakovsky would accomplish for Republicans, namely: by approving enough for a new FEC quorum but not enough for a full membership, Republicans retain a two vote constituency on FEC which could stymie any Democratic initiative. There is another factor Republicans are beginning to examine with respect to DoJ’s disabled section 5 oversight, namely a recent argument of a case at Scotus in which the Ch.Justice showed* his voter suppression colors clearly, badgering an attorney with threats to rollback the preclearance** rule to apply only to conditions before it became law in 1964, transcript.
    ___
    *Link is to document abstract, full view behind paywall, but the Scotus transcript is free, argument was March 24, 2008 Riley v Kennedy 07-77.
    **Preclearance is the obligatory hand-holding when states with discriminatory histories try to shift legal constructs: they have to go to DoJ for prior scrutiny.

      Obamma has addressed them but you haven’t been specific.

      The fact that you’re uniformly wrong across the board makes me wonder if you’re trolling from a right wing blog. You’re definition of your mistatements is as vague and uninformed as Chamblis, Graham, and Corynyn when they say the surge is working but offer no facts to butress that fiction. You remind me of the guy Mathews sliced yesterday who didn’t konw what appeasment meant.

      If you wanted to know Obama’s or anyone else’s “view on issues” reading would have been a good start and you haven’t.

      Obama was supported by NARAL after 30 years backing the Clintons because he is pro-choice. His so-called present votes in the Illinois Senate which have been misconstrued and widely quoted were on request by many planned parenthood and child protective groups.

      Obama supports civil unions and is against gay marriage. I personally don’t carry who marries what as long as they are the age of consent or the age of the state requirement for licensure.

      His views on Israel have been aired and they are very clear and he supports Israel strongly and recognizes it as our staunchest ally in the ME and one of our staunchest allies period. They’ve been aired out the wazoo and where were you during his speech and question answer period for about an hour and a half today–under which rock? Why didn’t you state them?

      Your assertion that “he supports coal big” is totally false.

      Corporate subsidies for what precisely?

      He hasn’t dodged anything, and has made his views on trade crystal clear. He has been crystal clear on supporting US products and jobs and cracking down on outsourcing of jobs, and products and cheap labor abroad including unequal tariffs with the US vs. other countries.

    • PetePierce says:

      wake up. tell me the truth……

      I would point out as to your false charge that Obama’s dodging questions that every day now for the last few weeks, and for months of his campaign, Obama has taken questions from his audiences including press and all comers. There are no plants, and many of the questions are set up to be tough (some of them from Mccainistas) and he answers them rather easily never using notes. Yesterday morning he took questions for over an hour in South Dakota after giving a sharp crisp response dissecting the absurd comments of Bush and McCain that showed their ignorance of the events that were a prelude to the Holocaust. During those events, the President of the U.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt ignored the extermination of Jews, but was jolted awake when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. That event seemed to be a bit of a wake up call for FDR, the US and the many many businesses who had enterprises with Hitler started by US entrepreneurs long ago.

      Bush and McCain, the opponents Obama is running against routinely have dodged questions and Obama’s primary opponent Hillary Clinton has begun to sharply criticize Bush (and of course she has done it before) but she has been quick in the last few days to call Bush on his outrageous statements from the Israeli Kenneset.

      I have talked to scores of Jews since those statements and they find Bush’s reference to appeasement and his ignorance of history repulsive, particularly for a man who was so afraid of serving his country that when his daddy’s efforts to get him into the National Guard to train for a plane that would never go out of the st’
      ates or see combat ran out, and he was ordered to report for a physical for a plane that that was seeing action in Viet Nam, he hid out AWOL in Alabama in a coke/booze stupor for months, and had the papers destroyed later.

      Dan Rather has a current law suit and the portion of discovery that will shed light on these circumstances is still intact in that case, although the claims against Monves, Redstone, and Heyward were dismissed 4/10/08.

I have seen this done, and I am a nobody. TK, simply by getting as far as he has, the way he has, is operating at a different level than is commonly understood or contemplated. Skepticism is warranted. I have no idea or personal knowledge on any of this, but I have never known of, nor heard of of, anybody that has played the system/gig quite the way Tommy K has, in the face of all logic and rationality. This pattern of behavior by TK, and by his handlers, is pretty telling. Look at what has happened in the past and where TK has, irrespective of the facts and circumstances, gone. Are you sure he is, in the future, going where you think he is?

    OT This is an intriguing comment from a translation of an Iraqi online conversation:

    May 14, 2008 Roads to Iraq

    “The most important reaction came from Hammad al-Shrida because he is a very interesting character, worked at first days of Iraq invasion as Chalabi’s assistant, to leave Chalabi later asking asylum in Norway releasing a video and an audio tapes with confessions about Chalabi’s dirty role in the invasion, the man is an information mine:

    When I was close to Chalabi…he studied al-Sadr trend giving all the information to the Americans and pretending that it is his own movement (militia)…Chalabi was telling the Americans that he holds the strings that moves the Mahdi Army….his men were attacking banks pretending to be you [MA] even they were Kurds.

    Chalabi tried to assassinates Muqtada, to take over the Mahdi Army as the next leader because he lacked popularity in Iraq, he sent Muqtada a Mercedes car, a transmitter hidden in the car to sends Muqtada’s location to the American airplanes, but al-Sadr revealed the plan and started to push Chalabi away from him.

    Orders came later from Iran to Badr Brigades and Dawa Party, to allow their members to join Mahdi Army as tribal groups, not as individuals to start the sectarian war.”

    pete you said obama has addressed the issues i raised but i haven’t been specific? i was very specific, he hasn’t been. i’m analytical, i watch for details….this i know. the things i raised are nowhere on the web, nor on his website, that doesn’t bother anyone?

    so, i say blooooooooooo haw………..that’s how much i’ve heard…….a strong wind, no words heard above the din. rhetoric given as an answer to a question that wanted specifics……..not so specific pete.

    and matthew–calling a woman a ’dick’ in my book is funny…..and i’m not a fan of ’crude’…….
