Former ACLU Chief, Charles Rust-Tierney, Gets 7 Years For Child Porn

What Larry Craig supposedly did pales in comparison to what Charles Rust-Tierney definitely did do, but we all know whose getting all the attention in our liberal press:

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A man who for 12 years served as president of the Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union was sentenced to seven years in prison Friday for downloading what authorities said was some of the "most abhorrent" child pornography they have ever seen.

The prison term for Charles Rust-Tierney, 52, of Arlington, is one year less than the minimum sentence suggested under federal sentencing guidelines, and more than the five-year term defense attorneys wanted.

Rust-Tierney said depression and "plummeting self-esteem" led him astray.

"I know what I have done is wrong, morally and legally," he said. "My conduct in paying the producers of this material is reprehensible. I am filled with contrition, remorse and shame."

More Debauchery From MTV: Tila Tequila, Whore, Gets TV Show

Untalented, unattractive, bisexual (i.e. "I'll have sex with anybody as long as it's breathing"), overexposed, D-lister Tila Tequila (aka "The Queen of MySpace") announced yesterday that raunch channel MTV has okayed her to star in her own dating show, where guys . . . and girls will compete for a chance to sleep with Tila:

Another dating competition series is coming to television, but this one has a new twist: MTV's "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila" will feature the bisexual MySpace phenom choosing from among both male and female suitors.

MTV has greenlighted 10 episodes of the reality series, which is set to premiere at 10 p.m. Oct. 9. Tequila, who is said to be the most popular girl in the history of MySpace, will be choosing from among 16 straight guys and 16 lesbians, who will move into her mansion.

Every episode will end with an elimination ceremony.

MTV = Mindless Television at it's best.

9 Members Of Congress Who Should Resign Right After Larry Craig

John Hawkins is totally on point here:

There has been a lot of talk about Larry Craig's on again/off again decision to resign from Congress. Like most Republicans, I'm of the opinion that Craig should resign, but wouldn't it be great if he could take a few people with him?

Like who? Glad you asked! For starters, here are a few honorable mentions that probably deserve to be out of Congress -- or in jail if they're Republicans. Alternately, if they're Democrats, you can look forward to their serving in Congress for the next few decades.

Honorable Mentions: Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Congressman John Doolittle (R-CA), Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Congressman Paul Kanjorski (D-PA), Congressman Jerry Lewis (R-CA), Congressman Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Congressman Jim McDermott (D-WA), Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Congressman Alan Mollohan (D-WV), Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Senator Ted Stevens (R-AL), Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), Congressman Don Young (R-AL)

That's enough of the warm-up act. Let's move on to the dirtiest players in the game...

Senator David Vitter (R-LA) & Congressman David Calvert (R-CA): Maybe I'm a little old fashioned, particularly after the moral fecklessness of the Clinton years, but I've always thought that anyone caught using the services of a prostitute isn't fit to be in Congress.

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT): When "Leaky" Leahy was the Vice-Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he regularly leaked sensitive classified information to the press in an attempt to undermine foreign policy decisions that he disagreed with. One of his leaks is believed to have actually gotten one of our Egyptian "assets" killed. He should have been sent to prison to break big rocks into smaller rocks for 20 years over his leaks, but instead he merely lost his seat on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Congressman John Murtha (D-PA): The man congressional Republicans call "King Corruption" was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Abscam case -- who, upon being offered a bribe said he wouldn't take the money at that point, but might “change his mind”...“after we’ve done some business.” Despite his sleazy background, Nancy Pelosi supported Murtha in a failed bid for a leadership position in 2006 instead of urging to retire from Congress.

Senator Barney Frank (D-MA): Frank encouraged Larry Craig not to resign, which isn't surprising when you consider that Frank makes Craig look like Billy Graham on the moral front and yet he has hung around all these years. In case you don't remember, Frank used the services of a gay prostitute, allowed the man to move in with him, and then allowed the guy to run a prostitution ring out of his apartment.

Congressman William Jefferson (D-LA): Although he hasn't been convicted yet, he did end up with $90,000 of bribe money in his freezer. Unfortunately for the American people who want honorable members of Congress, but fortunately for "Cold Cash," "Mr. Freeze," or whatever you want to call him, being as crooked as a corkscrew didn't dissuade his congressional district from voting him back into office.

Congressman Alcee Hastings (D-FL): Back when Hastings was a judge, he was impeached by the House for bribery and perjury and removed from office. Amazingly or maybe not, given the sort of sleaze liberal districts tend to accept from their representatives, he went on to win election to Congress.

Senate Robert Byrd (D-WV): While it's always amusing to hear a Democrat chide the GOP for supposedly being racist and then turn right around and laud a former Exalted Cyclops from the KKK as the "conscience of the Senate," no former member of the KKK deserves to be a member of Congress.

Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA): The man Rush Limbaugh refers to as "The Swimmer" is notorious for leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown to death while he waited 10 hours before telling anyone because he wanted to plot a media strategy. Had the man been anyone other than a Kennedy, he would have likely gone to jail for manslaughter instead of going back to the Senate.

Someone once said that, “Politicians, like underwear, should be changed often, and for the same reasons.” After reading this list, it’s easy to appreciate how on-the-mark that funny little quip turned out to be.

Jerry Lewis Uses Gay "Slur"; Gay Mafia Grants A Pass

Let a top Black actor use a supposed gay "slur" and he gets consistently bashed by the liberal media (and fellow liberal actors) and eventually fired from his job (even after he apologized profusely). But when an old, white comedian does the same, all he has to do is say "sorry" and the liberal media says nary a word giving said "gay-basher" gets a pass. Then too, I'm sure it helps Jerry Lewis' case that he's has long been the spokesman for super-wealthy, liberal, self-interest group, Muscular Dystrophy Association:

“The Nutty Professor” Jerry Lewis yesterday apologized for making an Isaiah Washington-like gaffe the other night during his annual Labor Day charity telethon by using the same gay slur that had the “Grey’s Anatomy” doc fired.

Lewis, 81, asked to be forgiven for his “bad choice of words” after Neil Giuliano, President of Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) issued a statement calling “simply unacceptable” the comedian’s use of the word “faggot.”

The Muscular Dystrophy telethon titan, swaying about the Las Vegas stage during the 18th hour of the live telecast, began a goofy rant, introducing imaginary family members to the audience.

“Oh, your family has come to see you,” he said, speaking to the camera. “You remember Bart, your older son. Jesse, the illiterate (bleep).”

He seemed to catch his mistake and immediately said “No,” stopping himself before attempting to move on.

Yesterday, Lewis released a statement explaining that he was making “a joking comment to a member of my production team,” and apologized “to anyone who was offended.”

Whoopi Goldberg Defends Michael Vick

On her first day as the moderator of "The View" Whoopi Goldberg proved that she can be just as dumb as predecessor Rosie O'Donnell by going out of her way to defend Michael Vick and his dogfighting enterprise:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Outspoken comedian Whoopi Goldberg drew a scathing rebuke from animal rights activists on Tuesday for defending U.S. football star Michael Vick's role in dogfighting during her debut on ABC's talk show "The View."

"He's from the South, from the Deep South ... This is part of his cultural upbringing," Goldberg said of the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, whose recent fall from grace has been one of the most stunning in the history of U.S. sports.

Vick pleaded guilty last week to federal dogfighting charges, admitting he took part in an illegal, interstate enterprise known as Bad Newz Kennels and helped kill underperforming dogs.

The 27-year-old, who grew up in Virginia, faces up to five years in prison when sentenced in December. He has been suspended indefinitely by the National Football League.

"For a lot of people, dogs are sport," Goldberg said on the show. "Instead of just saying (Vick) is a beast and he's a monster, this is a kid who comes from a culture where this is not questioned."

Of course, an argument can easily be made that Rosie would've made more of an ass of herself than Goldberg handling this topic by taking it a step further by not only defending Vick, but somehow pinning all of Vick's legal problems on President Bush.

I'm On The Fred Thompson Bandwagon

If it's really true that Thompson's going to finally announce his bid for presidency this week, then count me in as on official supporter. After all, Thompson would be the only true conservative in the race, he's not afraid to call it like he sees it and most importantly, despite what your liberal press would have you believe, he can beat Hillary.

And really, if the best shots that liberals can take at Thompson are that he's "lazy" or that he's an actor (what, Slick Willie wasn't?) or that he has a "trophy wife" (despite the fact that Mrs. Thompson's resume speaks much differently), then you just know that Thompson has as good a chance to be our next President as anybody else.

Tim Robbins: Insane Liberal of the Week

Age: 48

From: West Covina, CA

Claim To Fame: actor, director and longtime boyfriend of fellow liberal nutcase Susan Sarandon

Why He's This Week's Insane Liberal of the Week: for going on Bill (ex-boyfriend of porno star Superhead) Maher's show this past week and doing what your typical Hollywood liberal does best: lie and distort facts. This time Robbins loudly claimed that U.S. troops had "killed over 400,000" Iraqi citizens since the beginning of the war. But that's a flat-out lie that even the leftwing Iraq Body Count website disputes (their alleged number is just over 77,000). So not only are Robbins numbers far from the truth, it's a blatant smear of our troops. Yet, for Robbins and his ilk, no need to let the facts get in the way of a good lie, no matter at whose expense said lie is directed towards.
