Oh, my goodness.
The Preznint seems to have arrived at a fairly novel diplomatic solution to the mess in Pakistan.
"I just spoke to President Musharraf before I came here, and my message was very plain, very easy to understand. And that is: The United States wants you to have the elections as scheduled and take your uniform off,'' Mr Bush said.
Damn, George. Aren't you going to ask him out to dinner first?

Hail, muse TRex! My first zed! There’s a Zardoz joke in here somewhere, I’m sure of it…

howdy, TRex & Firepups!
5?
almost
Evening all. I see Dubya’s thinking with the little dick again.
Bet that cheap bastoid won’t even spring for a movie either.
g’evening TRex
What do you suppose dictators wear under their uniforms?
I cringe every time Bush speaks. How is it possible for someone to mangle their native language every time they speak? Does he do it on purpose, or just not give a shit?
Aw, I left ya a response, Suz…!
What is this shit..I get an error message that I can’t post more than every 15 sec..slowdown cowboy,..
Suzanne is this your doing? Has DSL gone to your head?
OMG, literally laughing out loud. What an idiot.
Carrying on from downstairs . . .
CTuttle @ 135
Why should the M-F daytime firepups have all the liveblogging fun? Sure, Marcy and Jane and Pach can get all the attention at the Libby Courthouse, and Christy gets all the big threads from the various congressional hearings. But can that hold a candle to liveblogging an FDL gathering at Suzanne’s?
I think not.
I can see that I picked the wrong year to move.
Steve-AR @ 12
Sorry, that one is not of my doing and is a wordpress thingie - but I do like it (laughing)
CT - did you see my response downstairs?
Junya, is Musharraf a pants-off first kinda guy or a shirt-off first?
And does he wear socks to bed?
man… just as i get going the thread changes
((((((TRex!)))))))
What a rude bastard! He skipped the toe-tapping, too!
TexBetsy @ 9
Gay potatoes have uniforms?
Those Below have been notified.
radiofreewill @ 18
We learned long ago that Dubya is never one for the niceties or protocol. It’s always full speed ahead, in reverse.
Maybe George needs to get into his Commander Codpiece uniform and fly over to have a little man-on-man moment with Musharraf, look him the eye, you know, that kind of soul gazing thingy he does so well. Just ask Putin!
Peterr @ 14
:( peterr - would have been great to finally meet you but next time i visit kin in kansas, i’m gonna give ya a hollah
radiofreewill @ 18
I think that’s implied.
“I want that uniform off, and I want it off now. (tap, tap, tap) I’m waaiittttiiinnngggg . . .”
Don’t know what it is about that picture, but Bush looks like a real leader there.
Well, if Bush wants Pervez to give his uniform, can we get W to give up the flightsuit/presidential seal socks/etc?
Hmmm. @ 20
thanks hmmm
DrDick @ 21
Along with “Ready, Fire, Aim!”
radiofreewill @ 18
I know. What is the world of closeted republican freaks coming to?
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
One teensy Prob, T! I just reported that the newly installed Supreme Court in Pakistan is fixing to rule…
“Musharraf’s new court to give him 5-year term”

Mad Dogs @ 19
Dictator Tots.
Suzanne if egregious really coming to your party? Doesn’t she live in NoVA?
AZ Matt @ 22
When it comes to Putin (and perhaps Musharraf as well), I think Chimpy may have mis-pronounced it when he said he “looked into his soul…”
CTuttle @ 30
And Bush is taking notes. So that’s how it’s done….
CTuttle @ 30
WOW!!!!!
the pix coming out of pakistan aren’t so nice…..methinks bushco doesnt quite know how to handle this latest shit….
Steve-AR @ 32
Egregious and Teddy SF - two front pagers (woohoo) and yes, she lives in NoVa but has kin in the SF Bay Area she visits.
Where’s Jon Stewart when you need him. That line demands some attention.
Probably way late to the party with this observation, but did no one note the irony of his stern warning to Perv that America believes that a President should not be the leader of the armed forces? Hell-o, Article II on line 1!
Speaking of oppression, this is from cinnamonape’s link, last thread, to the originating principles of the KKK:

And to think, Cheetos and video games hadn’t even been invented yet.
juslin @ 35
Why should the latest shit be any different from all the other shit?
Suzanne @ 27
I Live (as you know) To Serve.
Suzanne @ 15
Yes’m, but, you should take the journey too… ;-)
juslin @ 35
..Especially considering that a contigent of those rebelling are pro-Taliban or worse.
CTuttle @ 30
I’m guessing Cheney is watching things very closely and taking notes. It’s quite clever; sack the Court, impose martial law, insert compliant judges, get what you want. Ta da!
If Bush will grab hands with a Sheik, Pervy the Foreign Aid Slut better cover his man boobs.
of course he didn’t say ‘we were greatly bothered by the sight of lawyers demanding constitutional rule of law wearing buddy holly suits being hauled off in paddy wagons to face the prison guard thugs.’
Suzanne @ 23
Agreed.
I’m just over the border to the east of KS, so I’ll keep an ear out for your hollah.
Twain @ 34
Pervez-a-palooza learned from the Shrub! Remember 2000? Our SC annointed the boy-king.
madmommy @ 45
And he doesn’t even have to worry about the court now.
Gee, George could send Rice over there to straighten out Musharraf. She is soooo good at that kind of thing.
madmommy @ 45
But, they’ve already installed the compliant judges… 8-(
Hhmmm, don’t ya just love the smell of “freedom” being spread in the morning.
DrDick @ 50
Sadly true. It could happen so easily here it’s frightening.
Elections in Pakistan don’t matter Musharraf will lose.
Or the election will be a Kathrine Harris special and the unrest will continue. Pakastani’s unlike us are already rioting, their Supreme Court is not even being allowed to decide if Musharraf can legaly run.
Al Quieda took over a town yesterday. Who cares! its the inteligence services with their Al Quieda ties who are part of the government and can get close to Musharraf that matter.
Bush is ignoring the real threat while he obsesses about Iran. Holy Joe is going to be so hated when the proof that Musharraf has fallen is a mushroom cloud.
madmommy @ 45
Less of a problem here, the SCOTUS already certified one coup and now they have a more solid 5/4 majority.
TexBetsy @ 9
Whatever they want …
king george is just waiting for them halliburton reeducation camps to be finished so he can toss lawyers in jail just like his buddy moustache man.
i hear he’s whined to dick about the camps going over budget and schedule. /snark
and i know bushco would LOVE to do this here as his term is almost up - but i’m sure he has more shit to do to the country before he’s done - all the more resaon for dems to man the fuck up!

Wrapped in the Flag, carrying a Cross…!
G’nite, all.
(A good night, that is, if I can get that darkblack image out of my head. How’s a guy supposed to get to sleep after looking at that?)
It’s been speculated that Cheney has had a hand in this. I think it’s possible.
Night Peterr. Try Bushmills for the image.
I’ve been thinking for a while now that it just doesn’t make sense for a president to accrue this much power to the Executive only to hand it off quietly and ride off into the sunset.
Peterr @ 61
Easy, don’t look! Aloha, Peterr!
Just watched Jon Stewart’s “rerun” featuring Condolezza “King Tut” Rice, our resident Secretary of Mummy State, in regards to Karen Hughes’ resignation. Condi is the consummate “mummy” image for the Homeland. After having recently seen images of the real King Tut, his mummy sef, I think they are related…it must be dawn of the dead or somethin’. Perhaps in Tut’s time, the facials were more effective…olive oil and all, ya know.
AZ Matt @ 51
I know. They’re practically building campfires and singing Kum Bah Yah all over Gaza as we speak.

With the economy headed for the tank, the Plutocrats may cut Bush and the Thugs off at the knees.
juslin @ 59
*Snort!*
Don’t hold your breath on that one, jus.
I don’t think a protest led by lawyers is going to fall for the Puppet Supreme Court ruling act.
The Law breaks down when it gets used unfairly by those in power - it only works as an agreement to civility between principled people.
The Paks will tear right through it to get to Pervy if he acts like a barbarian dictator.
Bush is lower than Nixon in the polls but I wonder if he has also been at below 50% longer than Tricky Dick?
DrDick @ 21
Cannot stop laughing! That is the funniest comment of the day/night!
No, TRex; he’s not going to ask him out to dinner. He’s going to (quietly) give him two more squadons of F-16’s; a squadron of Apache Helos, and a “naughty boy!”-finger-wag.
Oh. IF, in Pakistan’s insane political scene, someone—ANYONE—kills Bhutto, the shit will hit the fan, and guess what that will lead to?
Thaaaat’s right. We’ll see martial law that will make what’s happening now in Islamabad look like the essence of Jeffersonian Democracy.
And then junior will really have to “tsk-tsk” with a vengeance.
If we step back and look at what things were like when Bill Clinton left office, and compare them with what’s going on now, it’s like a bunch of idiotic but homicidal “Jasons” and “Freddys” took over the government and have decided to say “fuck it!” with exporting food or DVD’s or Boeing airplanes, and are just going for it, as they spread the gospel of chaos and firepower.
Our long national nightmare is over.
Just when baseball withdrawal becomes unbearable, college basketball starts up.
Thank you mask man!
Finally, Ron Paul was discussed on FDP. Good on you.
Ron Paul is a force to be reckoned with in the coming elections and deserving of our attentions.
Burma, Pakistan, Georgia in rapid succession… where next?
TRex @ 31
Probably got a nickname like…Spud.
Tanbark @ 73
And don’t forget, Pakistan HAS nukes, unlike Iran, which is just THINKING about nukes. What a freaking nightmare the policies of our government have wrought.
Hmmm. @ 76
coming to a town near you…
madmommy @ 64
Especially since it seems that the next pres is going to be a democrat.
Wham! Bam! Thank you, Islam…muhh bad
Things Come Undone @ 71
There is one “poll” that is always below Bush’s 50%. Shrub’s very own Tricky Dick.
I predict that you guys are going to luurrrrrve tonight’s Late Late Nite song. It is a righteous R&B explosion of glory.
solai @ 79
I’m still waiting to hear the dem candidates promise to roll back the executive power grab of the Bush administration.
If they really wanted to flip us the bird, after Mukasey gets confirmed they would nominate Yoo to be head of OLC. And Feinstein would probably vote for his confirmation.
Pakistan is looking like Iran 1978..I remember when Reza Pahlavi was our BFF and indispensable ally..that turned out well.
TRex @ 83
You finally paying off with some of you singing, big guy?
TRex @ 82
Tease!
Suzanne @ 79
Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. Gonna need a bunch of these or else these.
madmommy @ 10
CBC national news had a clip of Bush trying to speak French. Now that was one for the archives.
So, how about Sarkozy asking the USA to be a LEADER of environmental protection? I heard this on NPR at 5:00 (in the car) and gasped. Did I miss anything else?
