I think diffent people can influence your life but it doesnt mean your not your own person with your own ideologies. I have lots of people in my life that i look up to or are close to and we have fundamental diffrences.
Sensible people choose to emulate the possitive in people and realise that to err is human

Bill, Your show in Vegas was fabulous and we were riveted!!!! I have a burning, single-topic question for you. Did you receive the panties I threw on the stage at the Hard Rock on Friday? They were very soft and pink with black polka dots on them. The timing was off and you left the stage a bit too soon, so when I threw them at you, it was too late. I yelled "Hey Mustang!!!" but you were gone. I asked the security guys to make sure you got them. Thanks for a great show!!!

RE:CBunny
who gives a shit about Spitzer anyway? [this is an age old story of money and power corrupting & the persons pointing fingers with the other four pointing back & politicians in general that say one thing and do another]
...one might look past the smoke screen of the hooker [and stop perpetuating the smoke along with our media from hell]
...and go straight to the political positioning involved -
along with superdelegate vote
... and who exactly has to gain & lose [besides his family]
...perhaps a little thought to his pro-abortion legislation & the religious right's continuous venomous threat is in order
...it is interesting... here again ...the FBI is so intent on this democrat politician - instead of the rest of the unqualified republican crooks [with special interests] at the top of every agency in our government
...and if he is #9 ...who exactly is 1-8 and 10-610? you can bet they all Know who they are and are swiftly buying and bartering their way out of the scandal
...so would that be why he is the only sacrificial lamb of interest so far?
...my guess is that the rest of them won't even be led close to slaughter, if at all, until after the 08 elections
...it would also be my best guess that the Rest of the Numbers will suit the needs of the 'Powers that Be', right where they are [at the gates of the kill floor]
what ever happened to the famous DC MADAME WITH THE BIG fat BLACK BOOK of politicians & power players, a year or so ago?
my guess is that they are all at the gates with the gate keepers [continuing to serve the corruption where is works best ...in the undertow of still waters & in the majority of votes in Congress that continue to "serve the pleasure of our president"]. Why else would they continue to ignore the wishes of the Majority of Americans?
So the moral of this story is as usual...The American People are Still being thrown to the Wolves! [and we are the ones that ultimately pay for the jerks we elect and/or our rigged voting machines elect]

yes you have it right ...let the oil barons pay for the rivers of blood and oil
yes you also have it right ...there will be but a few politicans that would agree with this [or ever really going against corporate control and power]
no congress doesn't have it right ---as 75% of people are against torture and they can't pass a simple anti-torture bill or ESPECIALLY override a bush veto [here again -he vetoes against the American people's wishes]
no our government and congress don't have it right ---they could care less that the majority has been against this for for how many years?
or that we want decent healthcare...or that we didn't want NAFTA to sell us down the river...and on and on ....
the powers that be - are not doing the job we hired them for [and to top it off - most of them are not qualified to do so...with crooks in high places and principles and ethics in low places]

'Naww' Depravedcow,![]:)](http://boards.hbo.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif)
Spitzer is not the 'Daddy knows best,' type.
He is creating a new family cell. So no worries, mon. He knows exactly what he is doing to his family.
They will all live with the hooker, since she has over $90.000 of Spitzer, and his wife's money.
Together, the wife and hooker, will compare notes about their 'man'. Next time, the hooker, will stand by her man.
Spitzer's girls will take up the 'oldest profession', since the oldest daughter is just years apart from the hooker.
Maybe daddy will give her try, you know, break her in. Hope he pays his daughters, the same rate, as the hooker.
Morality went out of the window. No wonder why the Tailban call us infidels. We, american are acting like we never had morals. We are becoming self-serving, power hungry, slobs.

Metaphor: Madness
Consider the cow, udders eroded,
as GMO feeds increase milk output
by thirty percent before exhaustion
damages organs and immune systems
such that milk stops and life is corroded
such that she is sold to a slaughterhouse
named Hallmark, of course, just for cheap chuckles;
because school lunch programs await what's left.
Picture the cow, just one of so many,
who will be prodded, shocked and fork-lifted
or dragged by one leg while screaming in pain
or stabbed in the eye or bludgeoned by bats
wielded by trained rats speaking no English
whose job is to get this "downer" dead fast
before her meat value evaporates
in the sun of a California noon
where their lunch waits for a loud bell to ring
which signals the cow reached a knock-kill box
and pusher-impalers achieved quota.
But the cow resists--she requires men
to assemble in the kill pit to haul ass,
be fast, before an inspector detects
USDA rules are being ignored
while downers, deemed to have mad-cow disease
which will flower in thirteen years, are forced
into the knock-kill pit's assembly line
where throat slittings precede coat removal,
meaning some slits miss their mark and cows cry
as skin-slash-rippings begin anyway...
Elsewhere on C-SPAN, the hearings begin
because The Humane Society filmed
a cow or two from the thousands we've seen
driven mad with use and to death in pain;
men moan the loss of income from recall;
women ask pointed questions in the mall
where television confirms the YouTube
they caught at home after their food shopping
which made them wonder about school lunch food
their children ate in a trusting manner
because their parents did not know the facts
that milk cows rendered useless are hamburg,
but only after their resistance is brutally overcome.
Outside on the campaign trail, Ferraro
speaks and is "rejected" by one Clinton
because trained rats in another stockyard
push-pull until she wades in their kill pit,
but she resists because free speech matters,
then the hooks and hate force her in, head first;
Ferraro resigns; the assembly line
moves forward, inch by inch; quotas are met;
Obama sees Ferraro as silly;
Keith castigates Clinton for being slow
about killing Ferraro for speaking
aloud what some others know to be so,
but ought not say because old cows should
lay down and be hauled away in silence,
or so the rule book reads where men hold sway,
since times have changed to be "politically correct"
at all costs in the slaughterhouse men rule;
thus, Ferraro enters the new food chain
while rats circle the yard for others to quell
where a dozen younger cows dare not yell
because fork-lifts wait to toss them around.

Bill,
Could you please, please, please let your audience and the millions who watch Real Time know that Hillary Diane Rodham is the full name of the female candidate running for president. NOT Hillary "Rodham" Clinton.
So much is made of using Obama's middle name, it would nice if the media could stop saying her middle name is "Rodham" it IS NOT. Her full name, Hillary Diane Rodham.
Now let's be totally real here, Bill, you know damn well that if she ran on that name, everyone would be saying Hillary "who?" It's true, she is only where she has gotten in the race because of her marriage, not her experience.
I'd like to have the media correct this misconception about the female candidate's "full" name. NOT HER MARRIED NAME.

Question: Doesn't the FBI manhunt against Gov Spitzer seem overzealous, almost to the point of entrapment?
Even the Wall St. Journal noted "the Federal Bureau of Investigation secured a warrant in October for a wiretap to intercept communications between Emperors Club employees and clients... It isn't clear why the FBI sought the wiretap warrant. Federal prostitution probes are exceedingly rare, lawyers say, except in cases involving organized-crime leaders or child abuse." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120523741167127071.html?mod=hps_us_whats_news

Gee,,, I've been thinking the same thing. Its time to open up the panel and show some real people and perhaps 're-educate' some of those stupid American voters to the truth.

Is anyone going to ask the candidates about the CFR and Mr. Zibig and Kissenger and Holebrook? These are the folks that have been key players in role of gov't, they all have a long range vision for America, what are the differences between these visions. We want the press to ask candidates about the men behind the scenes ?

Last time Bush was over to the Middle East on a "Peace" mission ( wink, wink, nudge , nudge) he sold a sh-t load of arms! Guess he's taking the heat of himself and sending Cheney on the "Peace" mission ( wink, wink, nudge , nudge) with oil deals a flying. I trust Cheney will try to get a shower at one of our military bases in Iraq with some Haliburton water and be baptized as our troops have been.
Sounds nice bathe and wash your clothes in contaminated water. Oh by the way how much are we paying for this brown water ?
Since Oil companies have been gouging the public at the pumps and causing all products that are transported to go up in price. Since the war was really all about oil anyway, Cheneythe fair minded person he is should make the following proposal that should be put into immediate action instead of the Bush hand out which puts this country in more debt.
The oil companies should 1. Pay a war tax which would pay for the war.
2. Have the pump prices frozen at a reasonable level so the public are not being gouged.
3. All future profits of these oil companies should be put into a fund available to the private sector to come up with a viable alternative fuel source so the Oil companies don't have a monopoly.
Now is there a single politician out there with the fortitude and integrity who would be willing take on this project and spearhead it and get the job done in a reasonable time frame? If there is one Politician that exists and is willing and capable of getting this job done that person deserves to be next President, as he would have the working class people in mind and be willing to fight the lobbying corporate gluttons.
