GravatarDoes this mean no more stories about how Rumsfeld is "sexy"? That's too bad.


GravatarBut what does it matter that the esteemed De Witt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia, Eric Foner, calls G. W. Bush the worst president ever?

What the hell does he know about history, anyway?

Sheesh.


GravatarDemocracy is messy. He told us that a couple of years ago, didn't he?

It's especially messy when a democratic superpower bombs the shit out of other countries.


GravatarNo really, the Union League in Philly just gave Rummy their Gold Medal award. If only we had a nationally-known, Philly-based blogger who could provide the local scoop....


GravatarRumsfeld's final memo says Iraq's messed up

Democracy is untidy.


GravatarAnd, in case you ever doubted that the war was always all about domestic politics: To limit the political fallout from shifting course he suggested the administration consider a campaign to lower public expectations.

“Announce that whatever new approach the U.S. decides on, the U.S. is doing so on a trial basis,” he wrote. “This will give us the ability to readjust and move to another course, if necessary, and therefore not ‘lose.’ ”

“Recast the U.S. military mission and the U.S. goals (how we talk about them) — go minimalist,” he added


GravatarSailing off into his bitter alcoholic memoirs!


GravatarLooks to me like Rummy told Junior what Junior didn't want to hear, and that's where Junior's loyalty ended.


GravatarHey, Rummy! "Stuff happens."

Don't let the door hit you on your egotistical ass on the way out.

Buh-bye!

Gravatarquite a legacy...

You can consider yourself lucky if you have a SECDEF like Rumfailed once in your life


GravatarWho the fuck cares what the fucker has to say. Because of him over 600,000 people are dead. And it aint over. When will it finally be enough? 800,000? 1,000,000? 6,000,000?

How these sons a bitches can sleep at night is totally beyond me.


GravatarCorruption: the 'second insurgency' costing $4bn a year

One third of rebuilding contracts under criminal investigation


(snip)
Mr Bowen, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (Sigir), cites Iraqi figures showing that the "virtual pandemic" of corruption costs the country $4bn (£2.02bn) a year, and some of that money goes straight to the Iraqi government's enemies. A US government report has concluded that oil smuggling abetted by corrupt Iraqi officials is netting insurgents $100m a year, helping to make them financially self-sustaining.

not bad...prolly had to throw his visor down a few times to get that.


Gravatar“Recast the U.S. military mission and the U.S. goals (how we talk about them) — go minimalist,” he added. Mr. Rumsfeld’s memo suggests frustration with the pace of turning over responsibility to the Iraqi authorities; in fact, the memo calls for examination of ideas that roughly parallel troop withdrawal proposals presented by some of the White House’s sharpest Democratic critics.

Old "Cut and Rummy"

So Rummy considered and worried about the "political" fallout over readjusting the stratergery on Iraq, eh?

While innocent Iraqis are slaughtered and American soldiers die, the son of a bitch worried about the "politics."

Nice.

GravatarSaudi Arabia in terror crackdown

Saudi Arabia's interior ministry has said it has detained 139 terror suspects, including a would-be suicide bomber.

The suspects were not Saudi nationals and included leaders of several cells, a statement released by the interior ministry said on Saturday.

The statement gave no names but said the arrests had been made over the past two months.

Al-Qaeda supporters began a campaign to bring down the Saudi royal family in May 2003. Officials say more than 136 suspects have since been killed by Saudi security forces.


GravatarHere's the Rummy story via Americablog.

PHILADELPHIA - About three dozen people rallied outside Philadelphia's venerable Union League to protest the organization's decision to honor departing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Officials at the selective private club presented its Gold Medal to Rumsfeld at a black-tie affair on Friday night, but would not discuss the reason behind the award.

Under mounting pressure about the course of the war in Iraq, Rumsfeld resigned Nov. 8, the day after voters gave Democrats control of the U.S. House and Senate. He remains in office pending confirmation of his replacement.

"My family is traditional Republican, and they are sick about the Union League giving Rumsfeld a medal," said protester Elizabeth Doering, whose grandfather and father were longtime club members. "It's such a crass gesture."

When the league gave then-Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor its Gold Medal in 2004, the event received full press coverage. But the league kept the Rumsfeld medal cloaked in secrecy until the Philadelphia Daily News broke the story on Thursday.

Club member James A. Ounsworth told the paper that he was "astonished and ashamed" because "Rumsfeld is a failure. I don't think you should give an award for failure."

When asked about the secrecy surrounding the Rumsfeld medal, league spokeswoman Patricia Tobin said, "It's up to the awardee. We always try to respect the wishes of the awardee."

GravatarThree Blasts Hit Baghdad

A triple car bomb attack has killed at least 43 people and wounded 91 others in central Baghdad.

The devices exploded in quick succession in a Shi'ite area near the commercial heart of the city.

A witness said two of the explosions occurred in a vegetable market packed with women shopping in the Sadriya neighbourhood.

He said he saw many casualties in the area and thick black smoke rising from the wreckage.

GravatarFreed of the need to suck up to Prince Fuckwit by saying everything is just fine, and intensely aware that his own legacy of being the worst Secretary of Defense in history, to include McNamara, Rumsfailed puts out this mea culpa memo.

The fact is, Poppy put his foot down and told Fredo that time was up, and Defib Dick and Rumsfailed had to go. You can't fire Cheney, he's actually elected to the office, but Rumsfailed serves at the pleasure of the Preznit.

There is so much contained in this.

The most insidious aspect of the gop corporatist globalist agenda is its infiltration of our media for the sole purpose of spreading outright lies demonizing, blaming, and discrediting anyone and everyone other than the actual source of the problems they themselves create for the entire planet. This is ultimately the most idiotic strategy possible, unless your strategy is to blow up the world while you escape to your own space station, which is still idiotic. The gop corporatist globalists are sick, sick, sick.

GravatarCharisma and petro-dollars mean the show will go on for Chávez

Opponents loathe him, but leftwing leader is 20 points ahead of his main rival


Hundreds of young men and women in red T-shirts surge towards the doors, clamouring to be allowed in, but the theatre in central Caracas is already full and the show is about to begin.

Those crammed inside fizz with expectation, their eyes locked on the stage, willing him to appear. Suddenly he bounds into view, arms aloft, and thousands of voices shout in welcome.

They have come to be reminded why they love Hugo Chávez and the Venezuelan president does not disappoint. Raw political talent and an ocean of oil have given him the means to persuade them, and millions of others, to vote for him in tomorrow's election.


GravatarJesus H DWD! I sure as hell you get this dealt with.

The back is marginally better. I just really have to watch my step. I do the wrong move, and it's emergency surgery my best guess is.

I'm moving pretty gingerly. I see the surgeon next week, along with another round of epidurals. I may even try fishing, but we'll see.


GravatarDispatches

It is nearly four years since the invasion of Iraq and the bloodshed on the streets is worse than ever.

GravatarPraise and fears as Pope ends Turkish visit

Pope Benedict flew out of Turkey yesterday having convinced many - but by no means all - of his hosts of his desire for warm relations with the Muslim world.

Ending his first trip as Pope to a predominantly Muslim nation, Benedict made a last attempt to assuage fears of a pan-Christian conspiracy against Islam, saying the Vatican sought to "impose nothing on anyone".

His unprecedented gesture on Thursday, when he prayed in the Blue Mosque, elicited widespread praise. His guide, the grand mufti of Istanbul, Mustafa Cagrici, noted that the Pope had stood and faced Mecca as he did so, as a good Muslim would. "These were very nice gestures," he told a television interviewer.

GravatarFears for US industry edge dollar closer to 50p mark

· American currency sinks ever closer to 1992 low
· City analysts warn about effects on UK exporters


Sterling moved to within two cents of the $2 level last night after a recession-warning signal from America's manufacturing base led to a fresh wave of frantic selling of the dollar on jittery foreign exchanges.

Speculation that the Federal Reserve, the US central bank, might be forced into an early cut in interest rates to revive the flagging economy pushed the pound to almost $1.9850 at one stage yesterday.

With the dollar having already suffered a week of falls, the trigger for the latest bout of selling was the release of the Institute for Supply Management's monthly snapshot of American industry. This showed the overall index dipping below 50 - the cut-off point between an expanding and contracting manufacturing sector - for the first time in three and a half years.

GravatarAnybody can say "that music sucks" or "that athelete is a bum" or make any number of criticisms about the wide variety of artistic or other human endeavors.

But should their criticism be given any weight or respect?

I submit that until you have written a book yourself, your opinion of another's book is just that, your opinion, and it doesn't merit any respect at all.

Until you've jumped in the pool yourself, you don't have much ground to stand on criticizing a surfer's style.

And until and unless you make a movie, your opinion about someone else's movie is worth about a bucket of warm spit.

So yes, until you record a song, and post it on the internet for everyone to hear, your criticism of nickleback is nothing.

The one thing I am completely confident of is that of all the people criticizing nickleback on the prior thread, including Duncan, NONE of you have EVER recorded a song that is HALF as good.

Of course, if you want to shut me up, all you have to do is POST A LINK TO YOUR BEST EFFORT, so that we can all see how clearly superior to Nickleback YOU are.

Otherwise, all we know for sure is that the intensity your dislike of nickleback is only matched by your inability to make music even half as good as that which you criticize.

In other words, you are just sitting around criticizing people who are better than you for not being even more better.

fuckin' wankers.

GravatarDamn IT! Was that was me again? Crap what am I doing wrongZ?. Fraking REAL scroll trolls mess it up for us regular folks. I wrote a brilliant post (no biofuel mentioned though)

Frak. That'll teach me.
It was about Melanie Morgan and her lying about saying, "We've got a bull's-eye painted on [Pelosi's] big, wide laughing eyes" on the radio. She said it not once but twice on two different days. Later she said DeLay agrees that "it's time to put the bull's-eye on her {Pelosi}"

I busted her, Media Matters Busted her and she ignored us. Keith Olbermann busted her based on my clips and she pretended she didn't say it. Then when someone at the network busted her (not her husband the GM or the President of the station Mr.HotTalk Himself Mickey Luckoff) she gave another non-apology pretending she was just having a tiff with Keith Olbermann. She didn't mention the word "bullseye" which shows me she knows EXACTLY what she is talking about and was coached not to say it again.

Republican'sm if you are rich and evil you are one of them. If you are rich they assume you must be evil or else they will call you a "Limousine Liberal" as if they can't conceive of anyone who is rich not to be a selfish jerk like them with their own politics. I know lots of rich democrats. But I'm not one of them.

Of course she used THAT comment as the excuse that Keith was picking on her. And the repugnant Lee Rogers set her up for it "I think he has the Hots for you."

Of course not, at least when it comes to Iraq. The one possible benefit is that the neocon flunkies Rumsfeld installed in the Pentagon might start resigning to spend more time with their families.

That might make it easier for the professionals there to start making a difference.

Well, I don't know what you mean by civil war or uncivil war here, but I think being "in favor" of such a thing, charley, is immoral. I'm hoping you don't really mean you are in favor of Americans killing other Americans here.

I hate Rush bitterly and blame him for much of what has happened these last 12 years. But Rush's moment in the sun is over. Now is hardly the time to talk civil war. The Democrats just got Congress back.

Please don't take offense, charley. I don't mean to be insulting, I'm just being totally honest. I never come down on the side of people killing other people wholesale.

Gravatar"Conservative" Radio Host Punks listeners-Updated
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonl...12/1/225750/ 658

On Sunday afternoon, Washington, DC radio host Jerry Klein of WMAL was commenting on the Muslim Imams kicked off a flight. Klein suggested that all Muslims in the United States should be identified with a crescent-shape tattoo or a distinctive arm band, the phone lines jammed instantly.

Among the callers:

"Not only do you tattoo them in the middle of their forehead but you ship them out of this country ... they are here to kill us."

and:

Another said that tattoos, armbands and other identifying markers such as crescent marks on driver's licenses, passports and birth certificates did not go far enough. "What good is identifying them?" he asked. "You have to set up encampments like during World War Two with the Japanese and Germans."

Finally a half hour into his show, Klien revealed the game:

"I can't believe any of you are sick enough to have agreed for one second with anything I said. For me to suggest to tattoo marks on people's bodies, have them wear armbands, put a crescent moon on their driver's license on their passport or birth certificate is disgusting. It's beyond disgusting.

Because basically what you just did was show me how the German people allowed what happened to the Jews to happen ... We need to separate them, we need to tattoo their arms, we need to make them wear the yellow Star of David, we need to put them in concentration camps, we basically just need to kill them all because they are dangerous."

Gravatar"this nation lives on trash media, and it's killing us."


The US had collectively worked through quite a bit of the old guard nonsense, problems, and bullshit when Clinton left a 400 billion surplus and stacks of information on active terrorists as his legacy. The US was never better poised for real progress and leadership than after Clintons turn at the helm, but the cabal had, has, and will have no interest or intention toward actual progress. Nope, they're bent on fucking everything up just as far as possible, and they are still doing everything possible to make it happen.

It's way past time to demand restoration of our Equal Time and Fairness Doctrine provisions.

GravatarRice says U.S. has made mistakes in Iraq
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ 20061...e_iraq_mistakes
WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday she is certain the United States has made mistakes in the Iraq war, but the world will have to wait until she is out of government to learn what she thinks they were.

"As to whether the United States has made mistakes: of course, I'm sure we have," Rice told interviewer Saad Sillawi of the Arabic satellite television station Al-Arabiya. "You can't be involved in something as big as the liberation of a country like Iraq, and all that has happened since, and I'm sure there are things that we could have done differently."

She told Sillawi, however, that the Bush administration is looking ahead, not backward.

"When I'm back at Stanford University," she said, "I can look back and write books about what we might have done differently."

Rice was a political science professor and later provost at Stanford. She was interviewed at a conference in Jordan, and the State Department distributed the transcript in Washington.

GravatarThe one possible benefit is that the neocon flunkies Rumsfeld installed in the Pentagon might start resigning to spend more time with their families.

That might make it easier for the professionals there to start making a difference.

Possibly, but I don't expect U.S. foreign policy to change much — it hasn't over many, many years.

And I think the democratic party, in its current form, might not be the source of turning the $$$ people out of the halls of congress. It could happen, but that would be surprising.

THE HOT ONE
5 pounds Beef Brisket, trimmed
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1/2-teaspoon ginger
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4-teaspoon pepper
1-teaspoon garlic
1/2-cup dark brown sugar
1 large onion, sliced
1 cup dry red wine
1 bay leaf
Combine spices; rub into all sides of the trimmed meat. Place into a pressure cooker. Add wine, brown sugar, onion, and bay leaf, Cook under pressure for 40 minutes. Cool and skim off the fat. Slice meat and reheat in its own sauce. Serves 6 to 8.

- Publicly announce a set of benchmarks
- refocusing the assignment of some significant portion of the U.S. troops currently in Iraq
- improve our units’ language capabilities and cultural awareness
- Conduct an accelerated draw-down of U.S. bases
- drawing down all other Coalition forces
- Position substantial U.S. forces near the Iranian and Syrian borders
- move U.S. forces to a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) status
- Begin modest withdrawals of U.S. and Coalition forces (start “taking our hand off the bicycle seat”), so Iraqis know they have to pull up their socks, step up and take responsibility for their country

There is no shame in these Bush folks, or anything credible in their behavior.

GravatarI don't see that the matter is of much consequence, but the question of whether Rumsfeld fell or was pushed is mooted by his previous allegation that he'd repeatedly submitted his resignation to the Unitard™-- who, in his infinite wisdom, refused to accept it.

I can't think of any other occasions when someone continued in employment with a "standing resignation". But once the separation occurs, it can be spun any way they want-- e.g. the Prez didn't "fire" him, just accepted his resignation.

Gravatar""When you put someone like Sen. Obama in that pulpit, you loan that individual a religious credential they otherwise wouldn't have," [National Clergy Council chairman Rev. Rob] Schenck told ABC News. "That's what we object to."

Schenck said Warren has no business bringing a man who supports abortion rights to the pulpit, what he called a sacred desk.

"Sen. Obama's policies would nullify that right to life, and right now, that is the paramount moral issue of our day," Schenck said. "Sen. Obama's presence in Rick Warren's pulpit will send a very confusing signal on that."

GravatarMoyers blew up Chicken Caesar at West Point with a little help from John Jay.
-----
We were warned of this by our founders. They had put themselves in jeopardy by signing the Declaration of Independence; if they had lost, that parchment could have been their death warrant, for they were traitors to the Crown and likely to be hanged. In the fight for freedom they had put themselves on the line—not just their fortunes and sacred honor but their very persons, their lives. After the war, forming a government and understanding both the nature of war and human nature, they determined to make it hard to go to war except to defend freedom; war for reasons save preserving the lives and liberty of your citizens should be made difficult to achieve, they argued. Here is John Jay’s passage in Federalist No. 4:

"It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting anything by it; nay, absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal, such as thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition, or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families or partisans. These and a variety of other motives, which affect only the mind of the sovereign, often lead him to engage in wars not sanctified by justice or the voice and interests of his people."

I knew, as any thinking person did, from the first blotchy embedded dusty 7th Cav tank video race to Baghdad, that this was a bad moon rising.


GravatarFrom a Sy Hersh's The Gray Zone:

Rumsfeld, during appearances last week before Congress to testify about Abu Ghraib, was precluded by law from explicitly mentioning highly secret matters in an unclassified session. But he conveyed the message that he was telling the public all that he knew about the story. He said, “Any suggestion that there is not a full, deep awareness of what has happened, and the damage it has done, I think, would be a misunderstanding.” The senior C.I.A. official, asked about Rumsfeld’s testimony and that of Stephen Cambone, his Under-Secretary for Intelligence, said, “Some people think you can bullshit anyone.” ...

Cambone was unpopular among military and civilian intelligence bureaucrats in the Pentagon, essentially because he had little experience in running intelligence programs, though in 1998 he had served as staff director for a committee, headed by Rumsfeld, that warned of an emerging ballistic-missile threat to the United States. He was known instead for his closeness to Rumsfeld. “Remember Henry II—‘Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?’ ” the senior C.I.A. official said to me, with a laugh, last week. “Whatever Rumsfeld whimsically says, Cambone will do ten times that much.” ...

yeah, in a host/parasite kind of way... sorta like saying "barnacles are part of the ship"

Kinda like camp followers following the Roman Army. They feed off us as we travel. And once in a while we fuck with them.

I feel damn sorry for the grunts, but frankly I'd rather help out an Iraqi family.


GravatarI think I'd rather have herpes, truthfully.

I just wish the trolls would leave us alone.

But no, they live for disrupting.


GravatarWe actually invaded another country during peacetime. Get over it, Rethugs, we really did that.


GravatarSeems sort of weird, Rumsfeld claiming torture is not US policy and Bush denying that Abu Ghraib exemplifies US policy and then several months later the White House claiming that torture (aka "alternative interrogation techniques) is and should be a necessary constituent of the GWOT.

Like a punchline to a very unfunny joke.


GravatarWe actually invaded another country during peacetime. Get over it, Rethugs, we really did that.

For no apparent fucking reason, other than that chimpy wanted to.


GravatarWe actually invaded another country during peacetime.

What part of losing our keys in Saudi Arabia, but searching for them in Iraq, because the light is better there, don't you get?


GravatarI can't imagine any of them could write anything *readable*... Clinton's book wasn't, and he's twice the communicator & five times smarter than any Bush Administration official...


Gravatar'they live for disrupting.

You give too much credit, living is really not what this bunch is accomplishing. And not achieveing much of a substitute.


GravatarSheets, but I had to go in thru archives.


Gravatar50 bags of leave is a problem?

You ought to see my winter burn pile. It's a pile of Devil's buggywhip branches from those that have gotten old and died, and a huge pile of cholla cactus.


GravatarWhy do trolls do it?
http://www.flayme.com/troll/

I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.

Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too.

For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.

Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?

Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!).


GravatarWASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday she is certain the United States has made mistakes in the Iraq war, but the world will have to wait until she is out of government to learn what she thinks they were.

I'm still trying to get my jaw to close.

"Hi boss. I fucked up that job I was contracted to do for you, but if you think I'm going to tell you how before the contract's up, then you don't know condolleezzaa!" Who in the fuck does this little piece of chickenshit glorified whore think she is? Oh my god, I only thought I was angry before.


GravatarIt seems to me people like Rumsfeld, Rice and the neocons are talking like they would after the 08 election, but not now. They've got two more years to suffer, if I recall correctly.


GravatarOh, and Hi.


GravatarSo Rummy, Condi, et al know what's wrong but they're not going to tell us until they're out of office? Should I say "what else is new' or "what's wrong with this picture"?


GravatarSeems sort of weird, Rumsfeld claiming torture is not US policy and Bush denying that Abu Ghraib exemplifies US policy and then several months later the White House claiming that torture (aka "alternative interrogation techniques) is and should be a necessary constituent of the GWOT.

What's hard to understand about this sequence?:

1) Torture people, 'cause they ain't really people, and you saw it in a Tom Clancy book and it got you all stirred up.

2) When caught torturing people, deny you ever did it, and hope it goes away.

3) When it doesn't go away, start trying to change the laws so that you can't get in trouble for what you were caught doing.

There's Bushco's swinging torture policy for GWOT.

GravatarYou wanna war? Then fucking have the goddammned courtesy to make it Constitutional.

Declare a formal State of War against anothet Nation, Congress. Or just go fucking home as the biggest Omaha Beach Pussies who ever lived.


GravatarNorah O'Donnell will be serenading him with songs from her old pocket rocker


GravatarTrolls defined.

The poor little things were objects of ridicule when they were young. They need attention, wheither positive or negative, as long as they are recognized. They fixate on any authoritarian figure, just anything that will will not cause them to have to seek out their own positions, 'cause that would make them think for themselves, which they have always been beat up for doing.

So please just stop feeding the trolls.


GravatarYou wanna war? Then fucking have the goddammned courtesy to make it Constitutional.

That is SO 60 years ago.


GravatarPicking up on some posts from Josh Marshall, Kevin Drum, Atrios, Digby, et al., re: the new Republican talking point that the failure in Iraq is somehow the fault of an American public not willing to pay the price for a muscular American policy in the Middle East....

It seems that the blame for this disaster can be pinned on anyone who opposed it from the start.

Let's see if that logic sticks when Republicans criticize a policy supported by Democrats or O'Reilly's "secular progressives". Repeat after me: "The only reason it failed was that Republicans didn't have the moral strength to support it from the start. It failed because of its critics."

Persuasive?


GravatarI didn't know that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Halliburton had constructed 55 U.S. military bases in Iraq, did you?

The implications of this little tidbit of information contained in Rumsfeld's leaked memo is tremendous...especially when you consider the cost to maintain 55 military bases in a war zone.

However, my main questions revolve around the sub-contractors that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld hired to provide services (food, water, laundry, augmented-security, etc) for members of our military stationed at these bases.

55 military bases in Iraq.

Incoming Democrats in Congress had better hold intensive and comprehensive hearings into every aspect of the Iraq debacle...including a complete accounting into the Republican, crony-run corporations to whom Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld outsourced military functions, military support services and huge amounts of U.S. taxpayer money.

55 military bases in Iraq.

Incredible.


GravatarThe Spy Who Billed Me has an interesting take on Cambone's resignation. Seems he's key to the DoD's secret spy unit which has been doing covert ops in Iran...


GravatarBeen watching some Woody Allen films (Manhatten Murder Mystery, Radio Days) lately on Canadian tv and I must say that, including his masterpieces, he's gonna go down in film history as one of the great filmmakers despite some questionable predatory behavior (Dali was a facsist). I say I'm the richer, in terms of film and sensibility because of Woody Allen, and the consumption of numerous quantities of wines has enhanced this perception.
So there.
I'm a Brooklyn Jew, for heaven's sake.


Gravatar"As you know, you have to go to bed with the Penis you have, not the Penis you want."

Donald Rumsfeld


GravatarOh my. Rummy got a clue? No wonder he was fired--excuse me, I mean, resigned.


GravatarProbably thought up those crap ideas while taking a crap.


Gravatarso lemme get this straight:

according to all accounts, Rummyknew before the election that if Repubs lost Congress he was gonna be out the door. Bush had already met with him and talked with him about it, and had already met with gates about taking his place.

so what does Rummy do? after three years of telling us how all is well in Iraq, the small force numbers were appropriate, stay the course, and we have a good plan to deal with the insurgency, somehow, in the last couple of days, Rummy decides that everything he's been telling the president and the public is wrong?

this just reeks of blatantly cynical CYA from Rummy. now he can write his book, and go on all the whore news programs, and talk about what a genius he was and how he was pounding at them to change their policy, and they just wouldn't listen to him.

it's the same thing with all the neo-con promoters of this thing not taking responsibility for their war cheerleading, how they find no fault with the proposed action, just that Bush screwed it up so badly.
