#1 Wouldn't expect any less from the state party of a senator who claims Osama bin-Laden is a hero.

#2 "The words impugned the motives of the other party's members at taxpayer expense, House Chief Clerk Rich Nafziger said Thursday. "You can't use taxpayers' dollars to sling mud."

Who says?????

Hmmm....I remember something from civics class:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

and from the Constitution of the great state of Washington:

Section 2-
The Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land.

Section 5- freedom of speech.
Every person may freely speak, write and publish on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that right.

Now, i wonder if I make a permutation of the forbidden phrases, can they pass muster. What if I say the other side is lying about the facts?

#3 I think the point here is that the Donks don't want the official record of the House to contain these phrases, and the Repubs, of course, want them in there.

We're all certain, of course, that this is an even-handed policy, and the Dems would never, never use official House records to disparage the Repubs. Nope, nope, never happen, nope.

#4 The DNC Mantra: Free speech for me but not for thee!

BTW: EFFwa is sponsering an initiative in Wa state to require all voters to re-register and prove US citizenship. Which I think is a doubleplusgood thing. Particulary when people keep finding bogus voter residences (at malls, non-existent addresses) and duplicate registrations in the voter's database.

So if you are a Washington Voter be sure to find this initiative and sign it. (and perhaps even if you aren't - after all its illegal to challange even an obvious fraud)

#6 I'm trying to imagine what the MSM would do if they got hold of a scrap of paper written by the lowest-ranking flunky in the Bush administration suggesting the possibility of such a thing.
