The biggest blog in terms of readership, last I looked, was Arianna Huffington’s blog <i>Huffington Post</i>, beating out even Daily Kos.</p> It’s amazing how many MSM writers still don’t get that there are gobs of women in blogging.

I am browsing the past couple of days and I am really happy the ladies are back. PH, emptywheel, Jane, Christy, et al. I always thought of this as a women-o-centric blog, and appreciate woman writers best for some reason. (Not that I discriminate against men.)<br /> Yes, Claire McCaskill said something about making the Iraqis pay for their own reconstruction. That is a big WTF for me. It’s such an insult for so many reasons. And I am quite sure that the Iraqis will never recover stolen heritage from the museums and libraries. It will all end up in Switzerland, Christies, Sotheby’s and Swiss auction houses, or Swiss bank vaults. That burns me up alone, not to mention the number of dead.</p> BTW.

How about “just damn crazy”? that’s how I think of Holy Joe. Others that knew him will tell you he has “no moral compass whatsoever and just sniffs which way the political winds are going.” I think that may be true. I have yet to make a complete arm-chair psychologist diagnosis.</p> PH, maybe I should make a suggestion in lieu of “self-hating jew”. How about “just damn crazy”? that’s how I think of Holy Joe.

(Sorta like I don’t like the word terra-ist because that’s what goopers over-use). But I do want to point out that there is a <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=mjMRgT5o-Ig" rel="nofollow">video by Max Blumenthal that features Lieberman falling all over himself to praise Hagee.</a> Skip to 5:30 (an Ish Elochim, Moses, blah, blah) or watch the whole enchilada. It’s all pretty scary. Supporters of Hagee cite “Left Behind,” Talk of “Holy War with Mozzlems,” “talking out Iran.” It’s super frightening.</p> I don’t like the term self-hating jew, because that’s what gets used on Noam Chomsky and others who protest Israeli policies toward Lebanon and Palestinians.
