If al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the rest of the Looney Tunes brigade want to kick America to death, they had better move in quickly and grab a piece of the action before Barack Obama finishes the job himself. Never in the history of the United States has a president worked so actively against the interests of his own people – not even Jimmy Carter.
He misspelled "Reagan," who is famous for cowardice in the face of extremist Islamic aggression (a point which makes every bit as much sense as anything Warner’s just bleated, and is yet superior, because it contains evidence in the form of a link as opposed to a throwaway sliming, a rhetorical device otherwise known as a "colostomy squirt").
Obama’s problem is that he does not know who the enemy is. To him, the enemy does not squat in caves in Waziristan, clutching automatic weapons and reciting the more militant verses from the Koran: instead, it sits around at tea parties in Kentucky quoting from the US Constitution. Obama is not at war with terrorists, but with his Republican fellow citizens.
Republicans sit at Kentucky tea parties quoting from the Constitution? Uh, no. Like UK Tories, who, as Alexei Sayle once soberly pointed out, are famous for liking nothing better than skulking around the board room "slamming their dicks in the door," because they are the most revolting of participants in sexual deviancy (the sort who can’t get a consenting adult to enjoy it with them), in private American Republicans spend the best part of their time covering up their pals’ sex crimes or else plotting their own. (I understand that Sen. Vitter, that naughty boy, has once more made "boom boom.") And in order to show that I am not hard hearted I encourage Monsieur Warner and his co-ideologues to practice safe auto-erotic asphyxiation — to use only the one dildo and wetsuit. Safety first, you cranky Scots shit with the private lace n’ latex kilt you probably like snuggling into (just playing the percentages here).
That is why he opened Pandora’s Box by publishing the Justice Department’s legal opinions on waterboarding and other hardline interrogation techniques. He cynically subordinated the national interest to his partisan desire to embarrass the Republicans.
Huh. Well, first of all, the memos came out because in America we value the right to know what the fuck our government is doing in our name, something called "democracy," a concept I encourage Warner to Google, as he appears unfamiliar with it. If the memos are embarrassing — well, nobody ever really said the GOP ever needed much help making them look like ignorant vindictive jackasses with a grasp of notions like "the rule of law" every bit as feeble as that of screechy ancient incontinent Scotsmen who write online gibberish for the Telegraph — apparently in furtherance of some sort of government program for giving said preposterous Scotsmen something else to do besides bother strangers in pubs.
Note: torture is bad, and against the law in the US. Just a reminder.
Moving on:
So, next time a senior al-Qaeda hood is captured, all the CIA can do is ask him nicely if he would care to reveal when a major population centre is due to be hit by a terror spectacular, or which American city is about to be irradiated by a dirty bomb. Your view of this situation will be dictated by one simple criterion: whether or not you watched the people jumping from the twin towers.
Fuck you. Here would be my view: I would not do something unlikely to work but likely to cost me my soul; I would uphold the laws of my nation and the norms of civilized society; I would in short be a morally responsible human being.
But I’m hardly perfect. I grew up in Queens. And after that last paragraph I quoted, and after that all that stuff about how my president is a "pantywaist," I confess that a certain tribal part of me would not mind meeting Mr. Warner very much in person so that I might explain precisely why his insults — the worst of which is that America ought to be a nation whose guiding principle is barbarism — are so aggravating. But I am a civilized man, and so will content myself for the nonce with remarking, on the Internet, that Warner is a fuckfaced little psychotic snotnosed shit who should be bottled, pissed on, corked, and then tossed into some Glaswegian sewer to be wetly shat on forever until the Last Trump sounds.
I trust I have made myself crystal clear on this point.

Masterful.
don’t hold back thers – tell us how ya really feel about the fuckfaced little psychotic snotnosed shit who should be bottled, pissed on, corked, and then tossed into some Glaswegian sewer to be wetly shat on forever until the Last Trump sounds.
I was worried that I would come across as not having firmly taken a stance one way or the other, too…
Suzanne, you beat me to it.
Thers!
Bavissimo! A tour de force masterful vivisection of a morally bankrupt and thoroughly depraved conservative.
as long as it is not a wide stance, i think ya covered it
Yes.
And, with various friends from and my own specific knowledge of the city of Glasgow, let me say that I concur.
Well said, Thers.
sorry
but ya could always add your texasaggie spin :)
This is called “projection.”
Just because folks like Warner have declared war on Obama does not mean that he has returned the favor.
Can you say “troll”?
You know, for people who seem so obsessed with the decline in (other people’s) morality, conservatives seem remarkably lacking in anything remotely resembling a moral compass.
I trust I have made myself crystal clear on this point.
I say, quite so!
I think you might have added some haggis to that bottle.
Peterr at 9 -
He is waging asymmetrical warfare against them by ignoring them or laughing at them.
I never likes Scotch Eggs, either.
Harry Truman’s sign read “The Buck Stops Here.”
Obama’s reads “Do Not Feed The Trolls.”
Their poles are reversed. Up is down. Right is wrong. And they are extra stupid.
Spoken like a true Irishman.
On a lighter note, did the 4 year old ever decide to enlighten you as to the appearance of an Oomfa or is he still reveling in his superior worldliness?
She. And she seems to have concluded that the matter is settled.
on the other hand, I am rather enjoying the way Obama is quietly, but efficiently kneecapping the Republicans after their surly rejection of his goodwill overtures.
Reveling I take it. Good for her.
he extended the hand of bipartisianship and the forking banana republicans bit it.
And now he is quietly and patiently explaining “Chicago Rules” the meaning of “kneecapping” to them.
“Never in the history of the United States has a president worked so actively against the interests of his own people – not even Jimmy Carter.

Thers, you’re makin me laugh here. Hard to do, these days.
Nicely done, Thers!
The torture controversy reminds me of a debate I watched, hosted by William F. Buckley, between SCIENTISTS and evolution-deniers. The latter, unconstrained by established facts, repeated the usual false claims about there being no fossil evidence of evolution, etc.. This tactic forces the opponent to waste their turn REESTABLISHING facts that have already been proven countless times.
All the pro-torture folks blather on as if something beneficial can result from torture, no matter how much evidence exists that it elicits unreliable information.
the chicago way
I’m just thankful that I wasn’t enjoying a hot-fudge sundae as I read that.
I couldn’t understand a word of it but I always enjoy good dancing…
The Lizards are shredding our Constitution.
Sarah Palin is needed now more than ever.
Youse just haven’t spent enuff time on da Sout’side.
What’s weird is that if he really was a hardnosed Chicago pol, he would never have done anything but laughed at the House GOP, who are in fact irrelevant.
Thanks. In the era of torture, coming up with the funny is a chore, truth be told…
The new Frank Rich column is pretty worthwhile.
The Banality of Bush White House Evil
unless he was giving them one opportunity to walk the bipartisan walk before laughing and showing them just how irrelevant they are
We need more guys from Queens!
That’s what I said.
I think it was a courtesy call. It is the Chicago way. He makes them a “generous offer” which allows them to retain some shred of self respect and the illusion that they still matter. If they refuse, he rips their lungs out.
Obama isn’t a hardnosed Chicago pol. I’m certain he has some familiarity with the tactics and his loss to Bobby Rush must have been illuminating but his ascent was too rapid for him to qualify. He has more experience campaigning than governing (and wheeling and dealing).
I don’t intend that is a criticism, his rapid transition also allowed less time for him to be corrupted (I hope).
i hope you are right dr dick – i think the banana republicans took his offer of bipartisanship as weakness and i hope he proves them fucking wrong.
Hopefully he was around long enough to learn how to play hardball politics, however. I keep seeing signs that he understands.
Thank you for this, Thers. After a shitty day that included a visit from crazy torture defending asshole family members(it is a matter of opinion, if SERE is okay for us in the military why should it be off limits to people trying to kill us? muslims do much worse in their countries, if you disagree with me you are spitting on my flag) one of whom is Scottish btw, this is timely and just perfect.
Very delicately put. Your restraint is inspiring.
:)
He is pushing through the revisions to the student loan program using the reconciliation process.
Might be part of the reason he wanted Rahm on the team although I fear that will end up biting him on the ass.
and healthcare reform has a 10/15 deadline or else it is going through reconciliation (if i understand it correctly)
Yes. It is important, during times of crisis, to retain a sense of humor.
‘Evening, all.
I wish we had more candor on Saturday nights. I come here for an honest appraisal of some rightwing assholery, and I get this wishy-washy pantywaist leftist accommodation.
Oh well.
Hee hee. Glad to be of service.
Hi and bye, RonD. Think I will power down. Splendid evening to all.
Night.
g’nite ratfood
Soft landings to you, ratfood.
I avoid certain family members now. That’s partly the reason.
Gotta get the child to Little League early manana–see ya later innovators!
g’nite thers
Night!
I just read the comments on Mr. Warner’s column in the Telegraph. I had thought that the US had a monopoly on rightwing cretins, but was I ever wrong! While some of the anencephalics that commented there are American, a goodly bunch are British. It was quite a revelation and I have no idea where the myth that the Brits have a better education system than we do ever came from. Obviously these people, by and large, have not been exposed to it if it is better.
People are stupid everywhere.
You mean folks like these?
thank you thers!
Wish I had an answer to that.
In case their website was a bit ambiguous here they are in action.
arseholes (shaking head) forking arseholes
British National Party. Britain’s answer to the modern Republican Party. Difference is that there they are a far right fringe party (like Le Pen in France or Haider in Austria).
Time for me to head out as well. Take care all.
g’nite dr dick
The numbers of those I avoid are mounting. Since I take care of my Mom, it is sometimes impossible to avoid her visitors completely. (In addition to opposing political views there is a hefty serving of resentment directed at me because these droppers in feel guilty; they announce they are coming through town just as dinner is being served and then they depart without washing a dish, but never fail to dispense lots of advice!)
Thank goodness for this place and all of you people :)
‘night, Doc!
You won’t want them to be spooning arseholes.
Truer words have never been spoken.
hell no – can’t have them breeding yanno
Thers, everything you said about this cocksucker is true but, my friend, don’t EVER fucking paint all Scotsmen with the same brush or I’ll find out who you are and ****. I’m Canadian born, my parents are Scottish and I lived there for five years. It’s a great country with great people but this sniveling worm Warner has that disease called CONSERVATISM which means that he’s just an ignorant, know nothing blowhard scumbag like Limbaugh, O’Reilly etc and facts/reality are optional for them.
I don’t lump you in with those fucking cretins because you’re American so please don’t do the same to my fellow Scotsmen.
***MOD NOTE: *edited to remove suggestions of violence
so this is where swine flu comes from…
hahahaha
i hope everyone was grabbing their popcorn and jujubees ’cause we gotta sat nite cartoon upstairs
Suz is upstairs!!
I haven’t got the faintest idea who this haggis-head is. What I do know is that the Rethugs have lost control of the narrative. That is fatal. The whole Republican scheme of government rested on controlling the news cycle. They mastered the method under Reagan, and brought it to perfection under Gingrich. We all know the method: the Friday news dump; the bright shining object; the coordinated talking points. It worked; until reality finally imposed itself. They don’t know how to do anything else, and it is literally driving them crazy. When they had the government, they could use police methods to reinforce the propaganda machine. No longer.
Ha! Is Rahm an ass biter or just one of those terriers that grabs the ankle and won’t let go?
potatoe…nuff said?
