Tom Friedman is an idiot.
To be sure, some people simply will never be winnable because they hate America above all else. (That may explain why you don't see any protesters here carrying signs saying, "Death to bin Laden," "Saddam: How many Iraqis did you kill today?" or "Mr. Bush: Thanks for believing in Arab democracy.")
I also didn’t see any “Nambla is bad” signs either. Does that mean protestors support hot man on boy action?
bush on a meeting with the queen in 1991:
Mr Bush was asked about the claim that he once told the Queen, at a dinner hosted by his father, that he was "the black sheep" of the Bush family.
"The Queen said, 'Are you the black sheep of the family?' I said, 'I don't know, do you have any in your family?' Like a good mother, she gave me a look," Mr Bush recalled.
"I respect the Queen a lot," he continued. "I don't know what she thinks about me."
Gotta love the right wing post. The following is an editorial not from some blog, or something written in blood on a sanitarium wall but an Op-Ed in a major metropolitan newspaper. The newspaper is a piece of shit, but still. Here’s a recap of what the author says:
The French, because they opposed a pre-emptive war against Saddam Hussien, were his “allies”.
Miltary experts and analysts who predicted that the initial war would be a “debacle” were “disappointed” when it wasn’t.
The number of dead Americans in Iraq is no big deal because “More Americans will die on our highways over the Christmas holidays than will have died all year in the Middle East.”
He then complains about the media and anti-war people as having closed minds, and says to not trust their “rhetoric”.
Also, the dust jacket on his book claims (from amazon.com) that he is “Fiercely independent” and “rejects all party-line thinking.”

One thing that annoys me most about the Clark smackdown on FOX news is this little snippet from the fair and balanced reporter:
“one thing our military advisors have assured us is that there is nothing but respect that one should have for your military career and for your respect for those who are now in the military.”
The people at Fox needed to be “assured” that his military career and respect for those serving is genuine. Because a 34 year career 4 star general, former head of NATO and decorated war hero’s patriotism and loyalty are instantly suspect when that person is a Democrat.

Just when you think Tom Delay can't be any bigger of a scumbag. Now in order to get around campaign finance laws, he is soliciting money for a childrens fund, while taking some of those donations and instead using them to pay for, and i quote "late-night convention parties, a luxury suite during President Bush's speech at Madison Square Garden and yacht cruises."
And his idea of using stupid needy children as a cover for yacht cruises has caught on and other republicans, including Majority leader and cat killer Frist, are following suit.
It's alomst hard to beleive how utterly corrupt this man truly is.
From the NYT. As Outragoues as this is (and it seems virtually everything Bush does is outragous, yet the press just yawns) if you apply the Clinton rule ,i.e. pretend the same thing was attempted by Clinton and imagine the reaction, it gets even more outragous.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 — The commission investigating the Sept. 11 terror attacks said on Thursday that its deal with the White House for access to highly classified Oval Office intelligence reports would let the White House edit the documents before they were released to the commission's representatives.
An interview in the NYT magazine with the President of the bigoted Christian Coalition. It's always funny to see these kooks up close. Some excerpts:
Q: You proved that when you teamed up with Senator Charles Schumer on an anti-spam bill to eliminate Internet pornography.
A: Actually, when Senator Schumer called me, I was a little surprised. He turned out to be a nice man.
Q:And you stunned some of your colleagues by agreeing to meet with Senator Hillary Clinton.
A:Yes. We talked about prescription drugs and the elderly. I can't judge her. I would like to think there is good in everyone.
What I love is the way she is "surprised" that Schumer is a nice person, and that she "hopes" there is good in Hillary Clinton. You see in her world Schumer and Hitlery are assumed to be mean and evil, so when she actually finds out that they are decent people, shes being "Christian" by admitting that, "gee they weren't evil like I thought".
Brings a tear to the eye.
And the award for blatant hypocrite goes to the followinge exchange:
Q: Would you like to see American products like television shows flourish in Baghdad as well?
A: Oh, no. I hope they don't show ''The Osbournes'' over there.
The Osbournes are definitely not a typical American family. Their language is so offensive. Shows like that wouldn't exist if mothers stayed home with their kids and supervised what they watched.
But you yourself are a working mother. Do you think you could have been happy as a full-time housewife?
A: Probably not. Probably it would not have been enough for me.
I always had a desire to make a difference. That is why I love the legislative process, where you can make a difference. One voice and one vote can make all the difference in the world.
Now you would expect a follow up questions along the lines of "Isn't that a bit of a double standard" or "You are a f*cking hypocrite". There was none. the interview ended there.
Liberal media my ass....
