BUCKNACKT'S SORDID TAWDRY BLOG We should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate, bier or wein in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!"

Republicans attack double amputee veteran for 'not standing up for our veterans' 8MAR16
NOBODY can convince me the words in this tweet from the repiglican national senatorial committee weren't deliberately chosen. God bless you Rep Duckworth, thank you for your service and sacrifice! SHAME ON THE nrsc!!! From +Daily Kos .....
1) Tammy Duckworth is a veteran.
2) Tammy Duckworth is a veteran whose combat-related injuries left her a DOUBLE AMPUTEE—she lost both legs. Under the circumstances, “standing up” may, just may, have been the wrong idiom to use.
Who do the Republicans have running that Twitter feed? Really speechless. It sure will be interesting to see what kind of apology the NRSC comes up with … or if they even bother.
· David Nir
The NRSC's response? “Fuck you,” basically:
"It would be great if reporters would pay as much attention to a deleted tweet as they should to Tammy Duckworth being sued by VA whistleblowers for ignoring claims of mistreatment and corruption."

THE SWIFTBOATING OF TIM KAINE 12APR12
ALL of us have a stake in the outcome of the election of our next Senator from Virginia, the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as all Americans. Tim Kaine, the Democratic Party's nominee, is being swiftboated by the same group that attacked John Kerry when he ran for President, they have just purchased $5.5 million in ads in the Virginia market. Check this out from the Kaine for Virginia campaign, and donate what you can, even a couple of dollars can make a difference...
That's right -- yesterday, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC)
bought $5.5 million worth of ad time in Virginia, and you can bet that every dime of it is going
toward deceitful ads attacking Tim Kaine.
This is the organization that's headed in Virginia by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth mastermind Chris LaCivita, who claimed that he has an ad that will be Tim's "Willie Horton" and a strategy that he described to an AP reporter as giving the dark attack ads that are now a staple of American politics the venom that makes them work.
LaCivita made a big down payment on his strategy yesterday. Now I'm counting on you to make an investment in ours.
Make a contribution today so that we will have the resources to spread Tim's message for economic growth and civility in Washington above the din of LaCivita's misleading attacks.
With your help, we can rebut the attacks that LaCivita is already planning and communicate Tim's strategy for growing our economy, investing in education and workforce training, and balancing our budget across the Commonwealth.
Outside organizations have already spent more than $1.5 million on TV ads in Virginia -- a million dollars of which went towards attack ads aimed at Tim. And while the ads have been proven false by outside fact-checking organizations, I know that even the most baseless accusation can do serious harm.
You may have thought I was exaggerating over the past months when I said that outside organizations were going to spend millions of dollars attacking Tim -- well, I don't know what proof to offer other than this $5.5 million purchase of Virginia airtime.
Make this the moment you renew your support for Tim Kaine's campaign with a contribution. We need you to help us prove that we will not back down.
Thanks for your help,
