While driving home Thursday night I clicked onto Talk radio. Michelle was on the Laura Ingraham radio show Thursday’s night. I was hoping that Laura would volunteer to go to Iraq with Michelle – no such luck. If memory serves me didn’t Laura make some interesting comments a while back about the courage of reporters in Iraq. You might be able to download the show from the website. Warning you may become addicted to something according to Laura.

Cindy Sheehan went on a hunger strike awhile back,over the summer I think. Anyhow,there’s a video of MM over at Hot Air in response,with MM shoving food in her face in a deli or somewhere. Part of the vid is Michelle “reading from Cindy’s diary”as Cindy. It has to be the most grade school thing I’ve ever seen a grown woman do,ever,and that’s saying something.

I’d love to know how much money this dipshit makes a year and who pays her.

In Defense of Internment is not only the stupidest thing Malkin has said but it is the stupidest title since Dow 29,000 and quite possibly one of the stupidest things said by anybody in the last few years.

Please send any and all winnings for this contest to my email address.

My nomination for stupidest Malkin quote from June 25, 2004:

But I personally don’t like when public figures curse in public, whether it’s Cheney or Bono or John F’n Kerry. It’s fine for blogging (though the strongest you’ll get from me is a damned or a hell).

What do you suppose she meant by F’n?

Then there was this from Laura Rozen, quoting the WaPo:
“But Negroponte is a guy who clearly can’t hold a job.”

Siun @ 97

a commenter over at Pat Lang’s (see Powwow’s link) wisely notes that secret surveillance too illegal for Negropponte is a pretty scary idea ..

when Mr Death Squad objects on moral/legal grounds to Cheney’s plans, that’s mighty chilling!

Hit Reload (F5) and look at my 8:24 pm (#94) comment. Is that the quote? Anyway, I agree with the comment.

powwow … I heard some similar speculation today … pitting Rice against Cheney and saying Negroponte wanted to move to get away from the Cheney cabal and where he could counter Cheney’s war on Iran push … this was somewhere on tv but I can’t remember the source. It’s very confusing … hard to see Rice as Ms Anti-Dick?

The person Condi seems to feel loyalty to is Bush, not Cheney. At least, that’s the impression I get based on the usual sources. Is that a mistaken impression?

pow wow @ 89

Okay, I’ll say it:

Do we, in fact, (ultimately) have John Negroponte to thank for playing a not insignificant role in the cooperative release of enough [defined as ‘a panoply of,’ per Judge Walton] classified information via the CIPAct, to allow the Libby trial (and its “faulty memory defense”) to proceed without a graymail dismissal??? I’ve been wondering how that clearance through the top dogs of the intelligence community (and beyond) worked…

There’s more there about Rice and her battle for a deputy, and Cheney’s junket to Saudi Arabia, etc., as well. [Larry Johnson has this up on his blog now too, I believe.]

Hmmm…

This is really hard to believe, at least the part about it being Negroponte being the one who refused. But I readily admit to not knowing jack about this situation, especially given the intel community restructuring that created Negroponte’s last job.

UPDATE: Oh yeah, like Jane said, “Wow”.

UPDATE2: Larry Johnson just appears to have reprinted the Sales post from Pat Lang’s site.

UPDATE3: This commenter at Lang’s site sums it up for me:

OK. Just let me know when these bastards go so far that we should impeach them, because I’m convinced that’s the only way we’re going to stop them. Too illegal for Negroponte? That’s a scary thought.

This is pretty scary, for that reason among many.
