'Pimping Petraeus'
“And in pimping General David Petraeus and in the violation of everything this country has been assiduously and vigilantly against for 220 years, you have tried to blur the gleaming radioactive demarcation between the military and the political, and to portray your party as the one associated with the military, and your opponents as the ones somehow antithetical to it.” Cont…

1. Maybe BetrayUs won't veto as many bills as Bush. I mean, since
he's responsible for the war, he must be responsible for all the executive office responsibilities, right?

It doesn't matter that he wasn't elected. Neither was Bush.

10. And now the real fight is on.....DING... Round One!
And Move-On comes out swinging ... they look pretty strong tonight.

OOoooh! MO lands a punch on the Administration with a side swipe to Petrayus calling him "Betrayus" ... he didn't see that one coming.

But nowthat little White House guy is climbing in the ring, and he's all puffed up ... It's a tag team match folks!

And the White House guy swings, but MO floats like a butterfly ...not a glove on 'em.


Now KO climbs in the ring - hey don't call him KO for nothing - and ...OOOOOoooh! WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, FIGHT FANS!!! Olberman one ups Move on .Org by accusing the little White House guy of "Pimping for Petraeus!" Getting two for one: the Pimp and the Pimpee.

DING! End Round One.

11. Round 2 - Fight With Your Money
“How long do you think it will take them to come asking us for money? These shameless bastards are probably already composing the emails...

I've been waiting for this moment - it's been a long time coming. In preparation, I registered the domain names, "WeAreYourBase.com", "SpeakWithOneVoice.org .net" and I've researched the cost of purchasing NotOneRedCent.com.

We are forming a donors' union and going on strike.

If I can raise the money, we will build a site that allows people to donate $10 to any non-elected progressive candidate or progressive organization that has an account at ActBlue. I am confident that we will be able to recruit 10,000 $10 donors (some will contribute more). repeating: each donor will promise to give NotOneRedCent to elected Democrats or organizations that give money to elected democrats. Instead, they will promise to use their money to contribute to progressive organizations and candidates that, as proved by their record, support the furtherance of progressive ideals.” Cont…
