"Sycophant Savior" says Rightie Rag

"He has failed his country" screams The American Conservative magazine !

The October 8, 2007 issue of this rightwing magazine gets no criticism from Republicans for its cover story, titled "Sycophant Savior" - a breathtaking stabfest directed at General Petraeus, but MoveOn.org gets dragged through broken glass by every shit-throwing GOP monkey with a keyboard.

"He has broken faith with the soldiers he commands and the Army to which he has devoted his life. He has failed his country. History will not judge him kindly."

Geewhiz rightie mouthbreathers, isn't that like totally disrespecting the troops to bash their general so blatantly? Doesn't this mean - using wingnut logic, that now we have to perp-walk you monkeys across the country until nothing remains but charred carbon footprints?

"There is only one plausible explanation for Petraeus’s terminating a surge that has (he says) enabled coalition forces, however tentatively, to gain the upper hand. That explanation is politics—of the wrong kind."

"Petraeus demonstrated that he is a political general of the worst kind—one who indulges in the politics of accommodation that is Washington’s bread and butter..."

Might even have to tase you bro'!

"I'm going to hunt you down"

Bill O'Reilly: "If I could strangle these people and not go to hell and get executed, I would.":

"I'm hunting them down. And that means everybody"

"...I'm going to go right where they live. Every corrupt media person in this country is on notice, right now. I'm coming after you..."

"...You're all on notice out there. I'm coming for you."

"This furious masterbator needs powerful mental setups," says FBI analyst:

Bill O’Reilly to Tony Snow: "You can combine how I deal with cancer with how I deal with the White House press corps. Because they’re both insidious, invasive. They both have to be wiped out... You know, you put little microbes and David Gregory’s face on the cover."

New York's famous "Bill the Butcher" was not a barely sanitary, noxious thug; he is.

The GOP's Dirtiest '08 Donors

Republican Rogues' Gallery: "Asher was convicted in 1986 of arranging $300,000 worth of payoffs and political contributions for a no-bid contract in Pennsylvania and spent a year in jail. His co-defendant, state treasurer R. Budd Dwyer, called a press conference and shot himself in the head in front of the gathered media outlets."

I am not Hagel; I have never been Hagel

I can't kick this feeling that one should be careful; you don't know where it's been:

"'The Republican Party has won two elections on the issue of fear and terrorism,' Senator Chuck Hagel said. 'It's going to try again.'"

I agree, but why is he putting a cork in it and skipping out.

Iranian Leader To Be Buried At Ground Zero

Plans To Shoot Ahmadinejad From A Nearby Rooftop Favored By Huge Majority Of Americans: "'It is unacceptable for Iranian President Ahmadinejad, who refuses to renounce and end his own country's support of terrorism, to visit the site of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil in our nation's history.' " - Hillary Clinton

Pull his pants down and deball him.

He's Not Snorey, Just Incredibly Stinky?

Representative Peter King Cuts A Big One For Guiliani: "Unfortunately we have too many mosques in this country, there's too many people who are sympathetic to radical Islam. We should be looking at them more carefully, we should be finding out how we can infiltrate, we should be much more aggressive in law enforcement.'"

What filter does a New York republican use to be able to say, "Yup, Pete's the one I want to represent me."

Wolves Ate Our Nation

Alan Greenspan's Inconvenient Truth: "...it is his view on the motive for the 2003 Iraq invasion that is likely to provoke the most controversy. 'I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,' he says."

'Crazy Al' Witnesses The Feast: "Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan criticized President George W. Bush for pursuing an economic agenda driven by politics rather than sound policy, with little concern for future consequences....

...'The Bush administration turned out to be very different from the reincarnation of the Ford administration that I had imagined. Now, the political operation was far more dominant,' Greenspan, 81, wrote...

...Greenspan's frustration extended to Congress, which let spending get out of control, he wrote. ' 'Deficits don't matter,' to my chagrin, became part of the Republicans' rhetoric,' he said. 'The Republicans in Congress lost their way. They swapped principle for power. They ended up with neither. They deserved to lose.' ''

Safer? "Sir, I don’t know, actually."

GOP Ripping America to Shreds:

"Buy time?" asked an angry Senator Chuck Hagel, the Republican from Nebraska who announced Monday he would retire from the Senate next year. "For what?"...

..."The greatest risk for United States policy is not that we are incapable of making progress, but that this progress may now be largely beside the point, given the divisions that now afflict Iraqi society" said Senator Richard G. Lugar, the Indiana Republican whose voice on foreign policy is influential and whose support for the mission is clearly wavering."...

"...asked whether the current strategy in Iraq is "making America safer." General Petraeus first retreated to an explanation that he is doing his best "to achieve our objectives in Iraq."

But when pressed again, he said: "Sir, I don’t know, actually."

It’s the Government of Nothing

Ryan C. Crocker, the American Ambassador to Iraq, Lied to the American People on September 11, 2007: “What’s happened over the last couple of years is stunning,” he said, describing his visits to neighborhoods that he last saw in 2003. “What has happened to middle-class, upper-class neighborhoods — the violence, the population shifts, the displacement, the tens of thousands of Iraqis that have been killed. You’re just not going to overcome that in a few weeks or indeed in a few months...

...If stability is to come, it will take years."

Crocker's loyalty to Bush's leadership is another in an eon's long history of the wrong stuff. For conservatives, loyalty is a big deal. For me, truth and justice is the big deal. There is no honor in serving a lie.

"It’s the government of nothing,” said Adel al-Subeihawi, a tribal leader on Sadr City ’s eastern edge. "No oil. No water. No electricity."

Emergency Cancellation Archimedes

On second thought, America really shouldn't be talking to other nations if W is doing the talking.

It's best that a certain strain of us progressives stay in the woods untill this is all over. And then come out with true, spiritual, and wise green awareness, and with children who know the world, not just the west.

There Is No Texas In Islam

Here's the pitch! - and it's a...: "I invite you to embrace Islam... There are no taxes in Islam..."

It's beginning to be unsettling; not just interesting, having to think about the contemporary currency of the western idea in the competition for space on this very small planet.

Tomorrow He Plans To Piss On His Shoe

Bush Sprints To His Crashsite: "Speech Delayed To Fill Empty Seats…Calls 'APEC' 'OPEC,' Calls Australian Troops Austrian Troops… Testy Exchange With S. Korea’s President…Goes Out Wrong Exit"

Nice try W.

But it still doesn't hold a candle to you in Europe a few years ago, in a room full of world leaders, lounging in your chair like a pretzel-legged adolescent as you smacked your lips and ate your food with your mouth open - all the while making snarly, insipid comments. How dare you.

You should be executed for being you.

Shutting Down Big Dumpers

Comcast Will Kill You If You Piss Them Off: "To trigger a disconnection warning, customers would be downloading the equivalent of 1,000 songs or four full-length movies every day. Comcast spokesman Charlie Douglas declined to reveal specific bandwidth limits."

If there are 2 teenagers in your home, you'll hit these limits real soon now.

Comcast is way more stupid than previously thought.

The Fantastic Freedom Institute

Freedom Is More Than A Gay-free Men's Room: "What's 'fantastic' about Bush's plans is that he wants to propagate freedom without seeming to understand the fundamentals of liberty". . .

". . . freedom belongs to "We the People," not "They the Politicians." We are the deciders, it's our government and we have a right to know. Before he builds himself an institute -- magical, marvelous or otherwise -- what would be fantastic is if George Bush finished his term by demonstrating he understood as much."

Spitting On Michelle

Geraldo Rivera Michelle Malkin Marriage Plans On Hold: "'Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I've ever met in my life,' he says. 'She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people. 'It's good she's in D.C. and I'm in New York,' Rivera sneers. 'I'd spit on her if I saw her.'"

Yeah, but you'd date her, right? Right.

Skulking Around

All Sleaze Out In Force: “Ashcroft, who looked like he was near death, sort of puffed up his chest,” Goldsmith recalls. “All of a sudden, energy and color came into his face, and he said that he didn’t appreciate them coming to visit him under those circumstances, that he had concerns about the matter they were asking about and that, in any event, he wasn’t the attorney general at the moment; Jim Comey was. He actually gave a two-minute speech, and I was sure at the end of it he was going to die. It was the most amazing scene I’ve ever witnessed.”

After a bit of silence, Goldsmith told me, Gonzales thanked Ashcroft, and he and Card walked out of the room. “At that moment,” Goldsmith recalled, “Mrs. Ashcroft, who obviously couldn’t believe what she saw happening to her sick husband, looked at Gonzales and Card as they walked out of the room and stuck her tongue out at them. She had no idea what we were discussing, but this sweet-looking woman sticking out her tongue was the ultimate expression of disapproval. It captured the feeling in the room perfectly.”

Thugs.

Trading Small Kids For Big Bucks

Safety Agency Gutted By GOP: "'It is a complete disaster,' said the official, one of nearly a dozen who spoke anonymously because the agency had instructed employees not to talk to reporters. 'There is just no other word for it.'...”

“'...This is the toy lab for all of America — for all of the United States government!' said Robert L. Hundemer, the one agency employee who routinely tests toys, as he held up his arms in the air. 'We do what we can.'"

Treasonous

Bush's Idiots Killed America's Influence In The World: "The head of the British army during the Iraq invasion described former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's approach as 'intellectually bankrupt,' according to comments published Saturday. Gen. Sir Mike Jackson, who retired in August 2006 as chief of the general staff, said Rumsfeld was 'one of those most responsible for the current situation in Iraq,'..."

"...For Rumsfeld and his supporters 'it was an ideological article of faith that the coalition soldiers would be accepted as a liberating army,' Jackson wrote."

What it all means is that U. S. national security is vulnerable when the leadership is defeated - as surely it is when its thinking is so visibly and fatally flawed. The U. S. is in grave danger under the conservative managment of the Republican party. This is what we should be angry about.
