“Precious Bodily Fluids”

That’s the kind of rhetoric deceitful warmonger Joe Lieberman echoes with phrases like “Vituperation Toxicity”.

Fox Finds Home For Failure

Michael Steele, the great Black Con hope who got his butt kicked in double digits, is now an official lackey contributor to the Fox Noise Channel.

The air is thick with something over there, but it ain’t Oreos.

Rudy Giuliani Fakes Support

Some astroturf from Rudy Giuliani.

Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani released his latest slate of New Hampshire supporters last week. One problem: Not all of them back the former New York City mayor.

Alongside a former state GOP chairman, a congressman and an executive councilor who do support Giuliani, a handful of people made the list of 125 supporters despite their objections.

The Very Stupid Leon Wolf* Of Redstate.com

Supermansuperiorbrain

As of this writing the mental midgets of Redstate.com have dedicated 447 words to the discussion of whether the slogan to my site is accurate or not. Why are they so stupid? Why don’t they get this? It is not remotely complicated. Kryptonite kills Superman. My site kills (or attempts to, in this case) stupid. My site is … wait for it … LIKE KRYPTONITE TO STUPID.

This is not a complicated concept, yet the guys on one of the top con websites cannot figure it out and lash out by making tired old fat jokes. Come on.

* Corrected spelling of the bewildered and stupid Leon Wolf’s name, who just does not get the very very very simple slogan of this site.

George Tenet On Sixty Minutes

He just doesn’t come across well. He seems combative, argumentative, etc. In other words, another incompetent Bush administration official (and yes, I know he was there before Bush came in). As I noted – this guy was CIA director at the time of the worst intelligence failure in U.S. history. He didn’t say a damn thing when we invaded Iraq, when he received the medal of honor and on and on until he’s got a book to push in order to financially benefit himself.

Just not credible.

Condi Rice: Bush Is Her… “Feed”. EW!

I think I threw up in my mouth a little.

And Rice was drawn to Bush. “First of all, I thought he was wonderful to be around,” she recalled, sitting on the couch in her State Department office. “He was warm and funny and easy to be around. I thought he had just an incredibly inquisitive mind … You could barely finish an explanation before he was digging into it.”

Bush was also a bad boy. And Rice, according to friends and family, had a thing for bad boys. That was why, as a 20-year-old grad student, she preferred her second Fighting Irish football player boyfriend to her first, said Jane Robinett, Rice’s best Notre Dame friend: John “Dubie” Dubenetzky, cocky and handsome with wavy blond hair, was less deferential than Wayne Bullock, the sweet fullback who had moved Condi’s boxes into Lewis Hall.

Rice’s friends insisted the attraction to Bush was platonic, but Brenda Hamberry-Green, her Palo Alto hairdresser, who had spent years commiserating with Rice over how hard it was for successful black women to find a good man, noticed a change when Rice started working for Bush. “He fills that need,” Hamberry-Green decided. “Bush is her feed.”

They Can’t Do Anything Right

Not in Iraq…

In a troubling sign for the American-financed rebuilding program in Iraq, inspectors for a federal oversight agency have found that in a sampling of eight projects that the United States had declared successes, seven were no longer operating as designed because of plumbing and electrical failures, lack of proper maintenance, apparent looting and expensive equipment that lay idle.

… or in New Orleans

Titled “Echo-Chamber Message” — a public relations term for talking points designed to be repeated again and again — the Sept. 7, 2005, directive was unmistakable: Assure the scores of countries that had pledged or donated aid at the height of the disaster that their largesse had provided Americans “practical help and moral support” and “highlight the concrete benefits hurricane victims are receiving.”

Many of the U.S. diplomats who received the message, however, were beginning to witness a more embarrassing reality. They knew the U.S. government was turning down many allies’ offers of manpower, supplies and expertise worth untold millions of dollars. Eventually the United States also would fail to collect most of the unprecedented outpouring of international cash assistance for Katrina’s victims.

Do not put people in charge of our government who hate our government.

Redskins Pick LaRon Landry

I’m not sure what to think about the ‘Skins picking Landry. I kind of expected them to go linebacker or defensive line instead of secondary, especially since we already have one of the harder hitting safeties in Sean Taylor. The upside is, LaRon Landry is a lot like Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, Lori Lemaris….

Detachment From Reality Syndrome

Look, I’m not happy that the war on terrorism is being led by an idiot like George W. Bush, but I find the progressive pushback against the idea that we are at war to be kind of ridiculous in a “I wish we had unicorns” kind of way. What do people hear when you step away from the “war on terror” idea? Not what you mean to say but what they actually hear? They hear “I don’t think there’s terrorism, I don’t think there’s a terroristic threat against the USA and our allies.” Sure, some people actually believe that but to be absolutely frank about it it is the fringe of people. And for my money, these people are wrong. We are at war, against a specific branch of terrorism. The big question is how do you fight it, and that’s where Dems have not asserted themselves. But saying there is no war on terror is a bad move politically, rhetorically, and common sense-ically.

I also note that this is the kinda stuff that’s going to make Senator Clinton win at least the Democratic nomination if the other campaigns don’t step up. It’s all well and good to play to the sort of ivory tower liberal discourse, but elections are won by appealing to the hearts of minds of normal people who really don’t want to quibble about this sort of stuff. Why do you think Bush is doing so badly? It isn’t because he has embraced the idea of a war on terror but because he is fighting the war on terror horribly. People ask their president to kill the bad guys, not rhetorically redefine them.

Fred Thompson’s Cavalcade Of Banality

Actor Fred Thompson this week sits us down to lecture fred thompsonabout how it just ain’t right to have bad guys in pro sports, cause golly gosh darn it all to heck in a handbasket what about the kids.

You know, I for one am glad actor Fred Thompson is bringing up this issue once and for all, because the mainstream press (with the exception of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, Comcast Sportsnet, MASN, NECN, every local tv and radio outlet, and thousands of blogs focused on sports, politics, and pop culture) refuses to report this story.

No wonder the guy should be president.

Why Does Anyone Take Glenn Reynolds Seriously?

The reaction of "Instapundit" to the Democratic rebuke of hack David Broder is to whine that they want the Post to attack Republicans and Democrats.

You mean the same Washington Post that cheerleaded for the war, smeared Nancy Pelosi, put up big nothingburger front page stories attacking John Edwards? That Post? Look, I know the many tentacled conspiracy run by George Soros controls time and space itself but if you’re on the team you’d do a better job than that.

Bush Admin Official Resigns After Link To Prostitute

The crimes continue.

Deputy Secretary of State Randall L. Tobias submitted his resignation Friday, one day after confirming to ABC News that he had been a customer of a Washington, D.C. escort service whose owner has been charged by federal prosecutors with running a prostitution operation. Tobias, 65, Director of U.S. Foreign Assistance and administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), had previously served as the Ambassador for the President’s Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief.

Open Question For The Con Blogosphere (And Matt Drudge)

You guys have harped on endlessly about Sen. Clinton using accents during her speeches as “offensive” to blacks.

Have you found one single black person actually in attendance at Sen. Clinton’s speeches who was offended? Just one who is willing to go on record?

As the kids say: Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

Caution On Tenet

George Tenet is making headlines saying the administration misplayed the WMD evidence. But Tenet has held his tongue on this information for years now until he stands to gain fiscally. George Tenet is the CIA director who served at the time of the worst intelligence failure in U.S. history. He was part of the leadership team that led this country into a war that killed over 3,000 Americans. For this he was awarded the medal of freedom and he held his tongue.

Take what he says with a giant salt lick.

Perils Of Punditry

The debate last night involved at best 2 minutes of answers on average for each candidate. Yet somehow, the punditocracy still insists on anointing a winner (at present it’s Sen. Clinton). Why cant they just say nobody won or lost – because nobody did.
