Congressman Jim Moran is recovering from successful double knee replacement replacement surgery completed November 24, 2009. We wish Congressman Moran a speedy recovery, and our good thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and caregivers, over the next several...
I have heard stories of how the Dahlan advocates at the Dahlan Task Force for Israel assembled its board. But the recent White House State Dinner crasher is a case in point. The fellow is a member of this lousy board of this lousy organization: it says so on Wikipedia . But suddenly, the organization's website first removed the picture and then the name of its proud board member . And to see the orientations...
(And I also posted here. ) This story tells us the following… WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A Senate committee passed legislation on Wednesday that would increase government oversight of the U.S. food supply, which has been battered by a series of high-profile recalls that have soured consumer confidence in the food safety system. The bill would expand U.S. Food and Drug Administration oversight...
“Where the river is winding, Big nuggets they’re finding. North to Alaska, They’re goin’ North, the rush is on.”–Johnny Horton, “North to Alaska”, 1960 “I think he’s lost touch with reality. He ought to get professional help, perhaps from Major Nidal.”–Former U.S. attorney general Mike Mukasey (on Rep. Jim Moran’s claim that...
I guess according to Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) this would make Mr. Obama Un-American. This video is from 2006, long before President Obama was able to play politics with our national security from the big chair in the Oval office. I guess now that he is in charge, we can go ahead and put politics and [...]
This at least according to Congressional dirtbag Jim Moran, the esteemed Representative from Virginia. Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has strong words for the Republicans opposing Attorney General Eric Holder’s plan to bring five 9/11 suspects to New York City to face trial. “They see this as an opportunity to demagogue,” he said. “They will seize on any [...]
HA: Poll: 51% of Republicans would rather risk losing elections than win with RINOs Reminds me of Jim DeMint notoriously saying that he’d rather have 30 pure conservatives in the Senate than a centrist Republican majority, presumably so that he could lose with honor on every single vote. Remember that old commercial about pollution where Iron Eyes Cody turns to the camera and a single tear rolls...
I Gotcher Incivility For Ya by digby I was very interested to read Kathleen Parker's latest lament about political incivility in which she admitted that incivility has always been with us but that the problem is bloggers who have the bad manners to transmit the nasty things people say to a wider audience. I plead guilty and in the interest of spreading the bad word even more, I'd like to offer up...
Earlier today, as I posted this , I thought to myself that Michael Mukasey was at least a reasonable fellow less given to demagoguery and histrionics than other leading lights of the right. I was wrong : In an interview with Washington Times radio this morning, the hosts asked Mukasey about Moran’s comments. Mukasey responded by suggesting that the congressman “get professional help”...
Last week, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) came out in strong support of Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to prosecute the five 9/11 defendants in U.S. federal court and sharply criticized Republicans who were attacking the decision. “They will seize on any opportunity to [demagogue], and that means they’ll even take a stand that’s un-American. [...]
This weekend, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) called people who oppose criminal trials in federal court for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the 9/11 plotters "un-American." It turns out that there is an epidemic of this lack of patriotism, according to CNN. Their latest poll asked the question of how to handle ...
That's certainly the conclusion one can draw from two stories over the last couple of days. Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA), who pushed Barack Obama to bring Guantanamo Bay detainees to the US for criminal trials, says that criticism of the decision is "un-American": Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has strong words for ...
You don't think terrorists should be brought from Club Gitmo to a prison or courthouse near you? One liberal congressman thinks you're un-American : Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has strong words for the Republicans opposing Attorney General Eric Holder's plan to bring five 9/11 suspects to New York City to face trial.

Matthew Berry, a former Clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas, has launched an exploratory committee into a possible run against Democratic Congressman Jim Moran in Virginia's 8th congressional district. Matthew Berry, a strong Conservative Republican on most issues, would be challenging a radical leftist who has compared Republicans to the "Taliban", and just yesterday called those who oppose...
This dumb : Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) has strong words for the Republicans opposing Attorney General Eric Holder's plan to bring five 9/11 suspects to New York City to face trial. "They see this as an opportunity to demagogue," he said. "They will seize on any opportunity to do that, and that means they'll even take a stand that's un-American ."
