White House: No Kerry Supporters at IATC Meeting
An anonymous reader writes "Time Magazine is reporting that the Bush Administration is removing U.S. delegates from the Inter-American Telephone Commission because they gave money to John Kerry in last year's election. A Bush spokesman admits it's true: 'We wanted people who would represent the Administration positively, and--call us nutty--it seemed like those who wanted to kick this Administration out of town last November would have some difficulty doing that,' says White House spokesman Trent Duffy. Employees of Qualcomm and Nokia are among those who have been removed from the commission."
But I supported Kerry!
This is a fantastic development. Thank you slashdot! We've almost purged the country of traitors..

But who would want bipartisan support on the same committee? Democrats at the same table as Republicans? That's just crazy talk.
If this isn't flamebait I don't know what is. It makes fun of Republicans and encourages "Democracy" which is just another word for Communism.
I love your plan for making it stop. More periods. It's genius. See. how. much. slower. you. read. by. putting. in. extra. punctuation.
Keep. stickin'. it. to. "the. man.".
If we had a king, he'd have simply have killed all his political opponents.
God spoke to me.
I did, and you're right! It fits with all three definitions!
(look it up, it's not a troll)
I'm going to try that one time. It is really ingenious. Say you are not a troll and get modded insightful. (This is not flamebait)

"Whore" is such a dirty word to use in describing someone who doesn't hold a White House day-pass.

Next thing you know you're going to tell me that he only listens to partisan scientists. Oh, wait... :P

That Kerry wouldn't have done the same?
This is exactly the kind of thing I was saying in 1998. "But surely," I said to everyone, "Bob Dole would be enjoying fellatio in the Oval Office if he had won the 1996 election!"
See? I'm fair and balanced.
Here we go, with the obligatory /. Two Minute Hate. Damn you, Goldst...err, Bush!

Your acceptance of corruption is heartwarming. Well done.
April 1st 2001, The White House:
"I say old chap, shall we play a magnificent joke on the American public?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"Well we'll forgo the usual routine and have the president do an 4 year long impression of a Baboon! It will drive everyone crazy"
"I dare say that's the most ingenious April fools idea I have ever heard"
"Oh that's not the end of it dear fellow: after 4 years we give them the chance to vote him out, but we'll choose an opponent who resembles a science fiction monster! They'll have to vote for one or the other!"
"Oh hilarity! do take me, right here and now!"

We haven't seen a man like this in the White House since Andrew Jackson.

At first I read that as "urine-made" and nodded my head in agreement.

Just reading Slashdot presents an excellent argument for doing exactly what Bush has done. Why should the US send people that have such a bitter hatred for the president? Such inherant negativity can only be detremental to productive meetings.
I can just see it now...
ENGINEER ONE: I think we should allocate more bandwidth in the 400-500Mhz range.
ENGINEER TWO: No, that's not anti-Bush enough.
ENGINEER ONE: You're right, I forgot about our bitter hatred for the president for a second. The protocol should be designed to express our ominous political views.
ENGINEER TWO: What if we shifted the bandwidth to the 750Mhz range?
ENGINEER ONE: That's a little more anti-Bush, but not quite enough...
ANNOUNCER (OFFSCREEN): That's right, if *you* gave $250 to John Kerry, your bitter hatred for the president would have been a detriment to this otherwise productive meeting. If you ever give money to a party not in power, don't expect to take part in the specification of obscure technology protocols. It's for the good of the country.
His God got a Marvel comic book. I think that says it all, really.
Heh. The definition of 'republic' should be updated to "a despotism with revolving dictators"

the more I read slashdot, the more I think that it maybe ought to be \.
since the comments here often lean so far to the left.
