Redstate

Are you as think as we stoned you are?

Dreaming of Dick Cheney, in any context, is not good...

Well okay... dreaming of Dick Cheney sending the bombers against Evil Nations... you know like France, Iran, France and Syria would be okay

Especailly France...

Excellent idea.

He was a very effective CEO of a top-quality company (HAL). He's been successful enough that now he can afford to give something back by working in a super-prestigious charity position, with an awesome office address to boot.

I'm glad JBLU's boss finally woke up and smelled the coffee, but I still probably shouldn't have bought his stock. (After today, I wish I didn't own any stock.)

dkos is doing a hate email campaign to jet blue. I think we need to send a few complimentary emails to JetBlue!

If Bush were impeached and Cheney became president, then one of his first acts would be to appoint a vice president. That vice president -- NOT Nancy Pelosi -- would be next in line for the presidency (like Gerald Ford replaced Spiro Agnew and then became president when Nixon resigned).

You might argue that the appointment of a vice president would require Congressional approval, and that the Democrats would obstruct any appointment being made until they had successfully impeached Cheney. I have no idea what the particulars of such an appointment would be. But I am sure that it would take many months to succeed in impeaching the new president (Cheney) -- many long months after the long months required to impeach Bush.

1. There's not enough time left in this administration to successfully prosecute two consecutive impeachments.

2. If Cheney replaced an impeached Bush, the position of vice president could not, would not be unfilled for the length of time required to run a second impeachment.

3. The naked ambition to put Nancy in the Oval Office would be far too clear for the American people to support such an attempted coup. Even Nancy might shy away from such an openly ambitious grab for power.

Why would Cheney even have to appoint a Vice President if Bush was in fact impeached. 15 times in the history of the United States there were vacant VP slots for up to 4 years at a time.

Ok, I can fly JetBlue again, I will take the recommendation from above to e-mail and tell them so.

Kos and Soros still ....well you know..

And Rock ON... President Cheney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just had to get that in before heading to bed.

You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.

Coming from a conservative blogging community it is easy to see the lure of jumping on the "other side" whenever possible. However, I don't see how the Jet Blue/Daily Kos result can be seen as a beneficial thing to this community under a critical eye. There may be huge ideological differences between Redstate and Daily Kos, but there are real similarities too, as when the two have worked together in the past. Those similarities outweigh the differences in this case. Many people want to see this through a liberal/conservative lens, it should be seen through the lens of MSM vs. internet based media.

The losers in this episode were places like Redstate. Is every internet based "media" operation now beholden to the worst comments found on the site in the eyes of corporate America? Do you think there will be a great desire on the part of the next Jet Blue to delve into the differences in the moderation of Daily Kos and Redstate before making a contribution? And what if they happen to run across the posts of a Demophilus2 when doing so? Why even risk associating with such non-mainstream operations when the MSM is so ready and willing to accept their largesse.

Perhaps the alternative media doesn't need or want corporate donations. Even then, this kind of story simply plants more fear and uncertainty in the minds of the average person on the legitimacy of a media site that has the audacity to contain a forum. Don't take my word for it, however, if it doesn't come from someone with a TV show it might be "hate speech".

A strange result to cheer from where we all sit.

Are the consumed with hate leftys faced with a perfect conundrum? They certainly are praying for a "death on the table" for Pres. Bush but equally praying that VP Cheney never becomes president.

there may be for the emotional calls for impeachment proceedings, I still don't remember hearing a legal complaint articulated. Simply saying, "Bush lied, people died," will not escape the scrutiny of an objective review of events on a timeline, and the findings will not ultimately reveal compelling evidence of any convincing level of deliberate deception. If anything, a rush to impeachment will lead to this absence of an articulated complaint of wrongdoing and thus disillusion among some of the people who were most receptive of the whole emotive exercise. Naturally, one taken in by the rhetorical button-pushing will wonder why the proceedings themselves are delayed by a near-total lack of prosecutorial leverage, after having been sold on the sensation.
