I’m sure most FDLers know by now that Boy George talked to Robert Draper about how when he’s out of office he’s looking forward to going on the speaking circuit so he can command more fees than his dad and Clinton.

There you have it — proof that the Criminal-in-Chief is insane. He really thinks people are going to pay to hear him speak?
…

He is incredibly competetive and is still competing with Bill, his father and Nixon (re: Vietnam=Iraq, Watergate=BushCo admin, etc.).

I think he probably WANTS to be impeached, convicted and tossed out, so he’ll be noted for it more than Nixon. Real real sick.

All anyone has to do is read “THE” plan for the middle east on the PNAC website. Iraq was to be the first of many countries that are to be toppled with permanent bases. Iran, Syria, Lebanon are also on the list.

Also, there are as many “contractors” as there are military personal. They can’t control Iraq even with over 250,000 private & regular military.

Going for my first cuppa…. anyone one want one?

Don’t be conned by that.

It’s important to differentiate between the real goals and plan and the cruft used to sell the venture to it’s many second-tier partners. PNAC was one part, Israel was one, Republicans was obviously one, War-profiteering corporations was another and there were even some others. It is/was a large venture and required a lot of different advertising lies to bring in different people.

Madness madness madness

So, when we leave you might say, “Yeah, we defeated him.” But, if you don’t know what his REAL goals were you don’t really know whether he’s achieved them or not.

I don’t honestly believe he expected this to go for decades. He’s just looking for cover to get out when it’s good for him (Jan. 20, 2009). They’re milking this thing for all it’s worth, but they are realistic and know that once Dems are in charge it’s over — and then they’ll blame the Dems in charge for ‘failing’, for ‘losing’ and so on.

What I wonder, is whether, in the end, the Republicans will realize they’ve been ridden hard and put away wet or will they just think they ‘won’. I wonder whether the Dems who take power will look back and investigate or will just sweep it under a rug and move on, letting the Bush mafia truly win.

Maybe off-topic, but could the Spotlight feature be extended to make it quick and easy to forward a post like yours to Congresspeople and/or their staffs in addition to the media?

It’s a logical question. It requires a lot of manual effort loading all the relevant e-mail addresses. I don’t know of any technical constraint.

Pardon me while I ROTFLASTC.

Hasn’t he noticed he isn’t bringing in the bucks for the Repugs fundraisers any more?

Dude, where’s my nukes?

First thing I saw when I flipped on CNN this morning. Half a dozen nuclear armed cruise missles misplaced for a time.

It’s worse than that — someone put warshots on a bird that was migrating from one base to another. All live weapons are painted a different color from those used in training/practice, to keep mistakes like this from happening.

The fact that it has happened makes me VERY nervous. How many other bombers are wandering around with ammo they shouldn’t have?

Note to self: Never fly Napal Airlines.

Seconded. OTOH, I thought Hindus never killed any lving creature? Or is that just one sect or something? You know, sacred cows, don’t even crush the cockroach, etc.

And, Vitter’s “sin” was all hetero-like, so no harm done.

The rethugs are united and determined to take Larry down, but Mitch McConnell says Diaper Vitter is ok. b/c what Diaper did happened b4 he was a senator and he hasn’t been charged with anything. No undergarment crime.

When my wife and I first met she got this cocker spaniel. I had never been around them, always had big dogs, and thought yuk! What a great dog he was, heart of a lion. Goes to show you never can tell!

Raven, the little ones don’t know they are little — my first Chihuahua would get between me and strangers and growl like he was going to tear their throats out.
