“But I don’t want to be a pie”

That’s a quote from Chicken Run. “Nobody panic!”

Do you think Chalabi noticed the occupation army on his windshield?

Chalabi is just looking for his next ride on the gravy train. Two months ago, I would have said Obama would never punch that ticket. Today, I just don’t know…

Hmmm. And Jindal runs away from the McCain roost.

After my sons second return from Iraq he commented that he didn’t trust the politicos as far as he could throw them.

Ahmed Chalabi was key in Maliki’s decision to rather ostentatiously endorse Barack Obama’s Iraq withdrawal time-line.

And I was key in Brangelina’s decision to rather ostentatiously have twins.

Once a con, always a con.

Do you think Chalabi noticed the occupation army on his windshield?

707!

and maybe sugarmamma can open up her purse one more time – they are gonna need a much bigger roost – Designated Attack Weasel Randy Scheunemann goes waaay back with Chalabi

There were so many amusing things about this story, it was hard to note them all at one time. Wonder if Cheney had some fun with his pen doing a few annotations on this one? *g*

I can’t believe that anyone still listens to Chalabi.

Oh, Preznit Fucking Stoopid got relected?

Yes, I can.

“I don’t like gravy.” (Luuuuuuv that moovie. Pretty much all things Wallace and Gromit, too. Hilarious.)

btw, I don’t know why, but the chickens in the pix above just crack me up. I tried to find a cli from Chicken Run of the scene where all the chickens learn to dance, but it wasn’t on YouTube. So you’ll just have to imagine… *g*

Ahmed Chalabi is still trying to figure out how to become dictator in chief or at least head of the treasury. With McSame gaffes today, it must of been difficult to choose what to write about. I hope someone explains his new slogan “Peace is Born of Wisdom”. Who is wisdom??

“Who will rid me of this meddlesome Chalabi?”

Speaking of McCain, now 96 Republican House members wrote a letter to the New York Times, urging them to publish his crappy op-ed/hit piece (from Drudgico)

Does the GOP have anything beyond incompetent fuckery, rampant cronyism and faux outrage? I mean, honestly…

Those are two big-breasted hens.

Clearly handing out no bid oil contracts, making trips to Iran on the sly and making ministry cash disapperate wasn’t nearly enough. *g*

zomg, he couldn’t get half the House GOP caucus to support his Op-Ed in the NYT? That’s completely embarassing. His campaign must be off the rails.

Oh, and do read the longstanding and lucrative relationship link above. It’s a fantastic piece from The Nation on everything Charlie Black’s BKSH lobbying form did on the taxpayer dime to prop up Chalabi and the INC. Cozy…but clearly not cozy enough given the campaign finger in the wind this week for McCain, eh?

This means something to us b/c we know Chalabi as a despicable, opportunistic crook. The-low info voter doesn’t know Chalabi from Maliki. Cheeny knows Chalabi. Chalabi was Cheeny’s BFF – before this stunt. Cheeny might be a little peeved.

Just think of how they can spin it against Obama:
Obama endorsed by Key Muslim Subversive.

Does the GOP have anything beyond incompetent fuckery, rampant cronyism and faux outrage?

No.

This has been another case of simple answers…

Obama endorsed by Key Muslim Subversive.

Obama endorsed by former major client of key McCain policy advisor. McCain campaign in turmoil.

There, fixed it for you. *g*

So, if this “Main Core” story is true, why didn’t it pick up the Iranian money flowing to Chalabi?

Does the GOP have anything beyond incompetent fuckery, rampant cronyism and faux outrage?

Treasonous fuckery.

Chalabi endorsing BO is one thing…BO supporting Chalabi is another thing.

Chalabi has been pissed off, but protected, ever since they raided his office.

Yes, but doesn’t the “protection” have a sort of “mutually assured destruction” feel to it? As in, “if you don’t protect me, something might be forced to leak right out of my man-sized safe…you keep yours shut, and I’ll keep mine shut, too” kinda thing?

I guess it’s the only half in “safe” GOP districts.

And, in answer to CHS, it’s all about the persecution complex – the only GOP base left are the 700 Club Christians – that’s why Joe L. is doing the two-step with Hagee, for example.

Excellent point.

Somehow, Bushco is still using him with the Iran connections…like maybe helping overthrow the government there…or getting intel from him…he’s such a major slimeball….shudder…

Has anyone gotten Judy Miller to comment:)

Oh yeah, let me just call her right up. I’m sure she’d be happy to take a call from FDL! *G*

He just screams “Cme to me, oh highest bidder,” doesn’t he? Urgh.

She might. She’s probably not getting many for such high level sites these days.

Just make something up…a la Judee!!!

Will Judy back one of her sources?

He’s a creeple.

Cheeenee and chalabi….:

Well you could lie:) Or have a conservative friend ask her or maybe the NY Times could forward the question to whatever rock she is hiding under.

I have to say, Lieberman’s comment about “Moses and Miriam” was really enlightening as to how high he holds himself and his associates in his own mind. Very telling — do you think he sees himself as the prophetess or the rescuer of his people after toiling in the wilderness?

Because I see him more as the Pharoah’s asp.

Where did Judy get a job at anyway? I know Matthew Cooper is at Portfolio.

Because I see him more as the Pharoah’s asp.

Or he could just be the Pharaoh’s a**.

Christy – I don’t know what drug Joe L. has been taking, and I have to admit that I am NOT even a softcore Zionist, but I can’t imagine why he’s doing this stuff with Hagee…

You set that one up. Lieberman is Pharoah’s Ass.

Doesn’t she write for Pajama Media or something?

I’m sure she’d be happy to take a call from FDL! *G*

You never know she seems the type to need lots of attention plus she has a movie to promote.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/…..02690.html

Last I heard, La Diva Judy was working at the “Manhattan Institute” doing policy research and writing for them. I kid you not.

According to her own web site she writes for several papers now.. http://www.judithmiller.org/

Think all that cozying up to Hagee might upset Jewish Voters? It does. Have you seen Greenwald’s article with the public-opinion polls? Seems we don’t like all the one-sided Isra*l support. We don’t like the occupation of Iraq. The MSM (including NPR) leads us to believe that we favor both of these.

So she couldn’t get a job as a Blogger huh

Oh, and Teddy? I did try to find a photo of a hen with her legs in the air — just for the occasion. But, alas, those are apparently quite hard to come by…these days, anyway.

Jane did offer her a job. Guess she decided not to take us up on it, though. Can’t see why…

Terrific post Christy.

Hey, I might have a clue for you why, subliminababbly, the chickens in this pic are so delightfully hilarious.

Chickens do have a tendency to come to roost anytime and anywhere they wish.

Dam# the posies; full speed ahead, Mildred and Nelva! Woot Woot!

Nice shot girlz. heh heh. Might as well fertilize the garden while yer there.

One could perhaps check for missing volumes on the shelves, and pretty much figure out what her next “original” policy paper’s subject might be.

Does anyone else find it oddly creepy for Lieberman to cozy up to someone like Hagee who preaches hatred and condemnation of so many different types of people, and who hopes for the destruction of Jews living in Israel in fire and brimstone brought on by the rise of the anti-christ? And who is willing to fund things to make that come to pass? Talk about your self-loathing issues…ugh.

I know. You can see them sitting there, thinking, “Pansies? What pansies?” hehehehe

She doesn’t work for chicken feed, after all. She has standards. /s

a petition to hold hearings of Impeachment that automatically sends it to John Conyers and both your Senators and congressman/woman… do sign we need to get the hearings started to stop the pardon express from leaving the station!

Roost rock reggae, this an eggy music

Hey mister music, sure sounds good to me
I cant refuse it, what to be got to be
Feel like dance-hen, dance cause we are free
Feel like dance-hen, come dance with me
Roost rock reggae, this an eggy music
Play I some music, this an eggy music

no, wait… liarman? oddly creepy? this is a trick question, right?

I wouldn’t be surprised that he’s doing it, because he thinks he might be McLobby’s VP running mate…..honestly, if that happens, then I’m gonna start wondering what in the world the Pukes are really up to.

Check out these incredible picture of BO’s trip on this Kos diary:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyo…..658/555635

How can McBush possibly compete with that?

He just wants to be loved! I was so hoping that he would accompany McSame to LA and the oil rig. Think of the great pics.

707 Great!!

So glad you put “safe” in quotes!

* How discouraging is the landscape for Senate Republicans? A spokesperson for the NRSC said late last week, “We have no safe seats right now. In a normal election year, we would not be concerned at all. But those are the cards we’re dealt. We’re not taking any states for granted.”

That’s the Senate, but still I have to wonder how safe House GOPs feel today, especially with McSame atop their ticket this fall….

superb poeting.

but YOU try laying an egg. i dubble dare ya!

i know, i know. u got scrambles.

OT: I’m watching incredible cloud formations from “Dolly’s” outer bands coming over the Hill Country in TX….really amazingly beautiful….

u did and they were poached?

And here’s the original

zomg a blast from the past!

Was that the post in which “wingnut welfare” was first coined?

Ooooh, matching hard hats and safety vests and everything…brings back fond memories of the Fred Thompson prunes of the world tour days.

Yes I wonder why Holy Joe is holding hands with Hagee a man who wants the rapture to come so that all the Jews can convert or be tossed into the Lake of Fire…wait a minute has Holy Joe converted that would explain everything!

hey gang, just occurred to me.

is it cruel & unusual pummelling to confooz a bespectator-eye with nonsense code?

Ian Welsh is upstairs!
How Futures Affect the Price of Oil

Hmmmmm, Teddy — I’m not certain. Think it may have been this one that was first…but Jane might know for sure.

tap tap tap.

can’t spare a square.

sorry.

WAIT. NOT!

face it, gang.

those fowl are beautiful animals, sleek and healthy and clear-eyed.

liarman, not so much.

as ear-worms go, that’s a fine one.

Well, if the dates are right, the Judy post (which mentions wingnut welfare) is November 2005 and the Wingnut Welfare post itself is December 2005.

Here’s a wiki mention of “wingnut welfare” but there is no actual article in wiki or urban dictionary,

I think we may have been using it earlier than that, actually — but the Pantload Media post was the first big one that I remember solely on the subject. Definitely a Jane-ism, though. *g* Although I don’t know if it was hers originally or what — she’d likely remember either way.

Just circlin’ back to read more comments.

this is the closest I could get to the dance scene in Chicken Run. The song is so fun. At least you get a poster to look at.

Maliki to Cheney: Could you get back over onto your side?
Cheney to Maliki: The whole country of Iraq is my half!!

The common thread in these actions by Chalabi is that they serve Iran’s interests.

Get U.S. to invade Iraq and overthrow sworn enemy (of Iran) Sadam Hussien? Check.

Get U.S. to end the occupation of Iraq leaving an Iranian Shiite ally in charge? Check.

I remember some news stories a couple of years ago to the effect that Chalabi was considered by some to be an Iranian agent. Then, mysteriously, he got rehabilitated. Funny, that.

Seems more like he’s decided that he’s been in bed long enough with his last client. Time to put on the lipstick and tights and look for a new one?

Bob in HI

No, you guys at FDL have already proven how craven the man is.

He is doubling down on getting a cabinet post with a President McCain, since he’s going to be losing that Homeland Security Chairmanship this January regardless of what happens. Lieberman is just as much of a surrogate as Fiorina or Phil Gramm are.

kinda like Roy Cohn hangin’ out
