by: rottenchester @ Wed Dec 03, 2008 at 22:09:20 PM UTC

my guess is... (4.00 / 1)

That the Bushes are just too right-wing for him.  I don't think of any of the big NYS Republican operatives -- no matter how nasty -- are really that crazy about the extreme right-wing of their party.  Minarik's infatuation with a Bloomberg candidacy was by all accounts sincere.  

And let's not forget, Roger's a swinger.  Maybe if Plato's Retreat had been named after one of the Apostles instead of a bisexual Greek atheist, he might get along better with the theocrats.

If you actually read what Roger writes, or heard him on Dicker this morning, you would know that he never has supported any Bush ever and especially dislikes Bush's big spending big government policies.

I guess Exile can't deal with the fact that Stone is a winner, over and over again.  Look, both Stone and Atwater had it together, but if they disagreed on one ad 20 years ago, who cares?  Stone was not only right then, he was right about that sleaze-ball Spitzer, and Stone sicced the FBI on that hypocrite's ass, and now Spitzer's gone.  Thanks, Roger!

and can we get one thing perfectly clear here? spitzer took down spitzer. period. he couldn't keep it in his fucking pants and thought that he was sooooo smart that he could get away with spending tens of thousands of dollars on whores and no one would notice.

stone, though he's been trying to take credit since the story broke, had fuck all to with it.

Hey Chiste... (0.00 / 0)

Before you reply, pull your hand out of your pants and close that full screen image of Roger Stone you have open on your computer. Please.

What you need to realize Chiste is that we do not discriminate at The Albany Project. We will go after the Republicans and Democrats that deserve a tongue lashing. We have done it before and we will do it again... and again... and again.

But what I see from your end is plenty of hypocrisy. After all, when Phillip wrote about Joe Robach's scandal, you wrote a comment with the subject line "Who cares" and text "Seriously." I guess taking down Spitzer was good, but going after an immoral Republican is bad.

But that's just like Republicans, Chiste. It's okay for them to be corrupt, but if the Democrats do anything, they are sinners, "naughty boys" and corrupt.

My advice Chiste? Take a hike. And hopefully by the time you have read this comment, you haven't squirted one all over your keyboard over Roger and his Nixon tribute.

Hey TAP, dig into THIS (0.00 / 1)

I guess I must be a troll because I read everything that pops up about this guy on my Google Alerts. I often comment. I thought that's why you bloggers allow comments. My bad.

I've read Stone's comments distancing himself from the Bush cabal. I am not sure I buy it, but it seems true. It sure wouldn't be the first time I've read of him pissing into the W tent from outside. It seems the White House made an enemy of him at some point after Florida 2000.

Was it his dislike for Karl Rove (mutual, I suspect)? Was it all the politics the Bushies kept tucking into our pants? Was it the fire sale of the US government Bush appointees held for connected lobbyists? Was it an adventuresome war woefully executed? As a conservative, all that stuff pisses me off. But this seems PERSONAL to me - doesn't it?

Here's what I want to know, TAP: what happened between Stone and the Bush gang after the recount that made him so anti-W? If you figure THAT out, you've got some news.

However, saying Stone isn't conservative and the Bush clan is - that is completely without credibility. ALL of the Bush family is from the Rockefeller wing of the GOP, that is an historical fact. Stone has 40 years of conservative credentials,  far more conservative than any of the Bushies, family or staff. You need to get that straight before you are credible on this topic.

As a conservative, I'd far prefer Stone's political agenda for the last 8 years compared to what they put us all through from the W White House. As a Republican, they shamed me.

Again, sorry to comment. I just can't resist sometimes. Next time, should I simply read another blog?

to me (0.00 / 0)

"Right-wing" means authoritarian, in the style of, say, Franco or Mussolini.  "Conservative" means something more nuanced that I'm hard-pressed to define.  But I definitely know people who call themselves "conservatives" whom I agree with on some (though not all!) things.  

To me, George Bush is right-wing.  George Will (though I agree with him on very few things) is conservative.

Right Wing, Left Wing, Tomato, Tomatoe (0.00 / 0)

I get your personal contrast of the terms. So hold these two up in the mirror and you get "Left-wing" and "Liberal" - right? So, when you write about the Left-wing, do you mean perhaps socialism in the style of, say, Stalin or Mao?

Or does the distinction between the two on the left line up differently? Like maybe unions are Left-wing, not Liberal?

I get your gist though. I don't think Stone is all that Right-wing on abortion, drug laws, privacy and moral issues. He is definitely conservative. But he sure was comfy with Reagan, whose Right-wing views on abortion, drug laws and moral issues are rather similar to those of GWB.

Whatever, I'm blabbering. I still think it is something personal between Stone and the White House. Thanks for indulging an old guy. Best wishes.

I'm not totally sure (0.00 / 0)

About the left-wing versus liberal distinction.  I'm fine with being described as either.  But I think it's a bit different for conservatives right now because of Bush.  I certainly know of people who still call themselves conservatives (say, John Cole of Balloon Juice or Andrew Sullivan, as well as a few less well-known people I know personally) who have opposed Bush for a long time and don't like to be lumped in with Bush supporters.  They seem to call Bush right-wing. meaning authoritarian, so I'm mostly taking my cues from them here.  

I think when there's a really terrible leader associated with a political philosophy, it makes people want to split hairs about the words used to describe that philosophy.  And, from my perspective, as long as those people are honest about how awful that leaders is, I'm happy to let them split those hairs.

I think its time to throw this "CREEP" back in "The Vault" before finds more illegitimate children of Pat Buchanan's.

Is he going to organize an angry mob of "Minnesotans" from Buffalo and New York City to shut down the recount there too?

Or maybe he can call George HW Bush and leave threatening messages on his voicemail.

(Roger Stone has been fired for all of the above, and wass eventually banned from the 2004 Republican convention after Rove - Rove! - tired of his dirty tricks - so who turned on who?)

Any luck finding the Whitey tape you misplaced, Roger?

Hey Chiste... (0.00 / 0)

Let's review your comment:

This is how you speak to people you 21 one year old bitch?

I'm 22, but nice try.

And I will speak to trash you however I want. How's that sound?

Do you even know Joe Robach? Ever had a conversation with him?

Can't say I have, nor do I wish to talk to such an immoral and unethical "leader." Just like I didn't like Eliot Spitzer's shenanigans, I won't deal with the likes of Joe Robach either.  

I don't care for your advice "robert".

I never offered any. Unless you count me saying that before you read this comment, you should pull your hand out of your pants. Obviously that struck a nerve.

You're young and arrogant and in love with yourself.

Well we can agree on something: I am young. But we already acknowledged that fact.

As for being arrogant and "in love with [myself]", I am not. I have a high level of confidence, but I am not in love with myself and I am certainly not arrogant.

My advice?  Don't ever meet me because I will kick the fuck out of you.  Got it asshole?

So let me get this straight: If I come meet you, you will inflict bodily harm. So what happens if you come meet me?
