I heard that yesterday and the tone was definitely sarcasm. Rush turned on W, basically calling him an idiot for claimiming Miers is qualified.
Seems to me when Limbaugh and the nerds at NRO mock Bush and his candidate with ripe sarcasm of this kind - and Miss Ann Coulter does the same, adding some sharp zingers about his drinking days - the Aging Warrior King is on shaky ground.
I wonder if they will ever look at him quite the same way again. But then - they're gangbusters at pretending.

instead of puzzling over the logic in which the nomination seems to make no sense, and worrying about why such actions might have been taken which fly in the face of reality, you have to ask "In what system or logic DOES the appointment make sense?"
and the system in which it does make sense is the one in which Miers is a blind, a decoy, a stalking horse, designed to make the NEXT nominee irresistible...

I am beginning to find Mr. Limbaugh to be tiresome. I think I shall suggest to the "Boss" that a solution to two problems, the Miers embarrassment and the continuing verbal flatulence of Mr. Limbaugh, would be to accuse Limbaugh of being the eunuch beard to cover for a relationship between Ms. Miers and Ms. Kagan. That should pretty well sink the nomination. I doubt the "Boss" will go for it since he is so damn loyal, a failing I don't suffer from I might add parenthetically, but I will try. If Rove was at the top of his game he would go for it in a minute, but he is quite distracted by the whole special prosecuter affair. He also doesn't take my calls anymore which make seeking his intervention somewhat problematic.

So, has there been a new Meme Alert? There ought to be. It looks like, besides 'criminalization of politics,' they're gonna push the angle that charging someone for lying about whether they spoke with a reporter about Plame is somehow not germane to the central case.
CARLSON: I just have trouble believing the prosecutor can actually do this, that is, indict, bring indictments for crimes, or alleged crimes, that aren't directly related to the original leak. I think that's going to make people...
O'DONNELL: Oh, sure...
(CROSSTALK)
CARLSON: ... even critics of the White House, even people who are not predisposed to like Bush or his White House, are going to say, “Well, hold on a second here. That wasn't the original crime. These are crimes that took place after the investigation.”
You'll get a kind of Martha Stewart effect, where people, who don't necessarily like Martha Stewart, think she was abused by the prosecutor.

Reading the Carlson/O'Donnell thing further, you get Carlson asserting that Fitzgerald HAS to be leaking, because some behind-the-scenes details are coming out. Carlson is older than 12, so he can't have failed to understand that Rove & co.'s lawyers could be doing the leaking. So this is intentionally misleading, baldfacedly carrying water for the admin. Unbelievable, unbelievable.
And on that other angle, where the lying about having talked about her is somehow unconnected to the central charges...it's like, O'Donnell is not parrying Carlson effectively there, he misses the implication of what Carlson is saying because the angle is so absurd that it's not something you'd expect to come out of the mouth of someone posing as a journalist.

Central witness to Mehlis report revealed as a paid swindler
Hamburg, 22 October - The most prestigious German political news-magazine, Der Spiegel, revealed today that the central witness, Suheir al-Sadiq on whom Detlev Mehlis had relied during his investigations into the assault on Rafiq Hariri, was a dubious person with a criminal record as a convicted felon and swindler. Even the UN Commission which had submitted the Mehlis report to the UN Security Council yesterday, is raising serious doubts about the reliability and credibility of Suheir al-Sadiq's declarations, since it was revealed that the alleged former officer of the Syrian secret services had in reality been convicted more than once for penal offences related to money subtraction.

Not so new.
Lowry or someone at the National Review stated months ago in a state of huffiness that Fitzgerald might "only" have charges of perjury for the WH folk. That made me want to rub my eyes and do a Jon Stewart double take.
Only Perjury?
Why am I alays the last one to hear about these rule changes? I thought perjury was the end of the world when it was Clinton.
Anyway - after being off the plantation for a few moments, hacks like that miserable Ralph- Lauren-ad- escapee Tucker Carlson, have to unload an extra helping of codswallop. He was smirking all over Hardball (I think) earlier this week, smugly insisting that the Democrats deserved all the blame for getting us into Iraq. The Times, the weak-kneed press and I guess, the Republicans, got a pass.
Same old disgusting BS. Like Carlson didn't sneer at those who were anti-Bush's war as "terrorist lovers". Democrats have their big share of the blame but his take was typically phony and partisan.

As long as we're talking about replacements, whoever decided that Morning Edition (Scotty Simon division) should do the 96th story about the Brooklyn Dodgers this decade should be fired.
The damned team moved, what, fifty years ago or so?...
EPT | 10.22.05 - 10:10 am | #
Read that, as of sometime in May or June, the Dodgers have played more games in L.A. than they ever did in Brooklyn. Or, might've been, more in Dodger Stadium than Ebbetts Field, or both. Anyway, they should've had an official you-can-all-get-over-it-now ceremony when that mark was reached.

smugly insisting that the Democrats deserved all the blame for getting us into Iraq.
Of course they deserve a lot of the blame. The Democrats controlled the Senate and chaired all the committees that approved the IWR. Think Intelligence and Foreign Relations.
And even to this day all Democratic senators support the Iraq war. Well maybe that solitary radical Feingold, dared to call for a phased withdrawal.
Other than him, nothing from the Senate Democrats.

I find the appeal to ignorance rather striking in it's simplicity. They are criminalizing politics... gives the impression to the uninitiated that making false statements to the FBI is just now being made into a crime.

Spewed the same shit on Maher last night. To his credit, Maher called him on it.
Ah..good. Something to look forward to. I watched just the beginning last night and Tivoed the rest. when I left, Carlson was popping out smirkisms like a lottery machine and Spike Lee was slumped in the corner.
I had a small hope that Spike might finally be the person who goes over and slaps the living begeezus out of that asshole. Someone larger would be better, though. Carlson isn't as stupid as he pretends to be (in that weird holier-than-thou, preening way that Bush people have) and that's the part that really drives me crazy about him.
Too bad more people can't at least slap down his RNC talking points nonsense.

From UPI, via Steve Clemons at the Washington Note:
The Bush administration is bracing for a powerful new attack by Brent Scowcroft, the respected national security adviser to the first President George Bush . . . his critique of both of the style and the substance of the Bush White House, is slated to appear in Monday's editions of the New Yorker magazine.
The article also contains some critical comments on the handling of U.S. foreign policy by the current President Bush from his father . . . (emphasis added)

Coming to U.S. Film Fests: Movie "Humanizing" Palestinian Suicide Bombers
And we thought PBS films were bad.
David’s Mediencritik reports the German government has subsidized a sympathetic film about Palestinian suicide bombers."Paradise Now" tells the story of two Palestinian men, Said and Khaled, who are selected as the latest suicide bombers, and debate which way is best to defeat Israeli occupiers. This is supposed to help us by "humanizing" the assassins. Oh, but lucky us! It’s coming to America, to the film festival circuit. It’s been picked up by Warner Independent Pictures. And it's won an Amnesty International award.
The filmmaker, Hany Abu-Assad, told a German website he wouldn’t condemn suicide bombers: "The suicide attacks are a consequence of oppression, which first has to stop...I am against killing people, and I want that to stop. But I do not condemn the suicide attackers. For me, it is a very human reaction to an extreme situation." In their marketing materials, Warner Independent is trying to make "clear that the film is one that carries a message of peace," says spokeswoman Laura Kim. "We are working with many organizations to help get the word out that the film is one to begin a dialogue, to ask questions."

In other news, hah hah!
Wal-Mart heiress Elizabeth Paige Laurie has surrendered her college degree following allegations that she cheated her way through the school.
The University of Southern California said in a statement that Laurie, 23, "voluntarily has surrendered her degree and returned her diploma to the university. She is not a graduate of USC."
Laurie's roommate, Elena Martinez, told a television show last year that she was paid $20,000 to write term papers and complete other assignments for the granddaughter of Wal-Mart co-founder Bud Walton. Wal-Mart is the world's biggest retailer. The family could not be reached for comment.
Following the allegations, the University of Missouri renamed its basketball arena, which had been paid for in part by a $425 million donation from the Lauries and was to have been called "Paige Sports Arena."

GWPDA - Yah, there is a big foufarah over Southwest, Love Field and D/FW here and I would be delighted to see Southwest expand its routes.
But it doesn't help me all that much, going in Denber, GWPDA. Denver isn't any closer than Albuquerque. In fact, it's slightly more difficult a drive than the one down to Albuquerque. More mountains to get over.

Oh, pooh, Tena. Years ago a friend had a place in Estes Park - it was the very devil to get to from Denver too. She always had somebody drive up her car and then she'd fly into Denver and take a car service. Ridiculously difficult.

Good morning. May I present my nominee for wanker of the day (really, he deserves an honorary title):
BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS [Jonah Goldberg]
I just saved money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.
Moreover, Syria is a mess thanks to the UN report and -- gasp -- the cooperation of the US and France in the UN (oh, and the whole war on terror thing). I feel bad for not posting more about it in the Corner, because I think the potential for implosion is one of the biggest stories of the decade. If Syria topples, which is still a big if, the Bush doctrine in the Middle East will stand a good chance of going down in history as moral genius. Or, as the precipitating events for a never-ending bloody conflagration that sweeps the globe. But, I've got my fingers crossed for the former...

The war in Iraq could be a success, or it could start WWIII. But hey, Jonah's got his fingers crossed that it will be a success. Don't you feel better now?

Scooter watches the news. He knows that while it is often full of baloney, a man as smart as Scooter believes he is can read between the lines. But this past week, Scooter has been in the news. Every day. And he is beginning to feel a lot of anxiety, because he can't be sure about that "between the lines" part. No, Scooter just can't decide who is controlling that part of the script, from behind the scenes, where he prefers to be.
Scooter sees an increasing number of reports about Rove pointing fingers at him. Did Karl's attorney leak to the media that Karl testified that Karl and Scooter talked shop about Plame in the days before Novak's article? Or is it those sons-of-bitches from the CIA? Those people Scooter treated like shit, and tried to humiliate in front of their co-workers at the Agency in the months before the war? Scooter believes in crushing all opposition. Maybe he didn't crush them. Maybe they are back, doing what they do best: destabilizing governments. Damn it!
And how about the other rumors? Like that spineless fuck Hannah had turned? Scooter's boys had picked up rumors in the strangest places last year. And Hannah acts, well, strange. Weak. Scooter can think of two or three times there were clues that he should have picked up on that Hannah was a fuck.
But how about those rumors about Wurmser? Hard to believe he would turn. Scooter knows that sometimes investigators will drop a suspect who refuses to cooperate off in a very public spot, so that his buds will see it, and mistakenly believe their partner has turned. Has Wurmser? Scooter knows that between Fitzgerald and McNulty, that Wurmser is in a tight fucking space. If he has turned, Scooter knows that a lot of people are fucked.
etc.
----
I can live on that.

They are at camp david this weekend, plotting their strategy. I am guessing one thing they will seriously consider is this: Indictments come out next week and pardons come out the same day, based on national security. Same day, same news cycle. It will all blow over in a wk. Fitz must have thought of this too and I hope he has some more moves left.

What do people on this thread think should be the main themes that Dean should use to MAKE news next week? Should he go after the media? Should he talk about how shitty repubs are? Or should he talk about what dems will do once in power?

Rush may have his uses.
He has built up a significant reserve of trust with his audience.
Should he turn on Mr. Bush, some significant part of his audience will also turn on Mr. Bush.
Those who don't can just listen to someone less rational and reasonable than Rush.
I don't know who that would be, but I'm sure an appropriate psychopath could be found.
I am very aware of the irony in this entry.
BTW, it was fun typing rational, reasonable and Rush in the same sentence.

It was obviously a joke.
He said she had done her own taxes for years and her own banking, so obviously she was qualified for a position that involved taxes and banking.
This is embarrassing that Atrios and Wampum take it at face value instead of enjoying one of the few times Rush makes a joke at the Administration's expense.
By the way, Rush is still a douchebag.
