Just finished tweaking another episode…it’s gonna be fascinating to see how this whole Hamas thing turns out, U.S. warships showing up at Lebanon’s doorstep, Iran’s almost got the bomb, Ahmadinejad’s going to Baghdad, and Americans are seriously considering Hussein for President. The Middle East has never been hotter or more dangerous, and we’re toying around with electing a pacifist socialist President whose ideology was born out of 60’s anti-American radicalism. Perfect timing. But he has a nice voice, and says “Why can’t we all just get along?”
Are you ready for all the bodies in the streets?

Rush is dead right, by the way. It’s gotta be a serious temptation for all Texas Republicans to vote for Hillary.

Excerpt from actual interview two days ago. Ellen DeGeners and Hussein:
Ellen: What is day one like? Do you wake up at eight? Do you get breakfast.? What’s your day one?
Hussein: Well, first of all I think I’ll just go into the Oval Office and sit at the desk and say, â€Wow, this is really cool.â€
Actually, the first day after I’m sworn in and I don’t know whether that counts as day one or not, I think the day after the inauguration if I were lucky enough to serve it would be to call in the joint chiefs of staff to really start talking about how do we get our troops out of Iraq in an honorable, careful, responsible way..I am a strong believer that we need to bring this war to an end.

Hands down, Jennifer Griffin is the best Iraq reporter on television.

This isn’t a political speech. This is the indoctrinational rhetoric of a cult leader. “Those”: the outsiders, the non-believers:
PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (Reuters) - Presidential candidate Barack Obama accused rival Democrat Hillary Clinton of using the politics of fear on Saturday after her campaign released an ad suggesting that Obama lacked enough security experience to keep America safe.
“There are those who are telling you not to believe. There are those who are trying to feed your fear and your cynicism and your doubts,†the first-term Illinois senator told supporters in Providence, Rhode Island.

Hussein on Iraq in 2004:
“Now, us having gone in there, we have a deep national security interest in making certain that Iraq is stable. If not, not only are we going to have a humanitarian crisis, we are also going to have a huge national security problem on our hands-because, ironically, it has become a hotbed of terrorists as a consequence, in part, of our incursion there. In terms of timetable, I’m not somebody who can say with certainty that a year from now or six months from now we’re going to be able to pull down troops.”
Hussein on Iraq in 2005:
Today, as Americans grow increasingly impatient with our presence in Iraq, voices I respect are calling for a rapid withdrawal of our troops, regardless of events on the ground.
But I believe that, having waged a war that has unleashed daily carnage and uncertainty in Iraq, we have to manage our exit in a responsible way - with the hope of leaving a stable foundation for the future, but at the very least taking care not to plunge the country into an even deeper and, perhaps, irreparable crisis. I say this not only because we owe it to the Iraqi people, but because the Administration’s actions in Iraq have created a self-fulfilling prophecy - a volatile hotbed of terrorism that has already begun to spill over into countries like Jordan, and that could embroil the region, and this country, in even greater international conflict.
In sum, we have to focus, methodically and without partisanship, on those steps that will: one, stabilize Iraq, avoid all out civil war, and give the factions within Iraq the space they need to forge a political settlement; two, contain and ultimately extinquish the insurgency in Iraq; and three, bring our troops safely home.
Hussein On Iraq in 2007:
“We have to send a clear message to the Iraqi government as well as to the surrounding neighbors that there is no military solution to the problems that we face in Iraq. So we have to begin a phased withdrawal; have our combat troops out by March 31st of next year.”
“‘The best way to protect our security and to pressure Iraq’s leaders to resolve their civil war is to immediately begin to remove our combat troops. Not in six months or one year – now.”
Hussein’s current position on Iraq, on his own Presidential campaign website:
Bringing Our Troops Home
“Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.”
Okay, Hussein.
It is beyond comprehensible that a man hoping to become Commander In Chief will not recognize that Al Qaeda already has a base in Iraq on his own website. It is equally incomprehensible that he would even suggest the possibility of keeping Al Qaeda out of Iraq via “targeted strikes” launched from outside the country.

This just in from some Dollardites putting some beautiful art to good use:

Could Peggy Noonan be any more pretentious when she speaks? Or lost? Right now she’s prattling on about Hussein winning because he’s about consensus? How about cutting through the crap and noting that there’s nothing in his poltical history to indicate a consensus builder, only a hard left ideologue? Noonan carries the same disease as almost every Republican leader these days: a paralyzing fear of the opposition. The mind shuts down to the point that not only does it encourage submission, it begins to believe the enemy’s rhetoric.

Is Geraldo’s brother gay? Geraldo has a touch of the gay accent as well, seems to struggle with it…

Two best lines in a pill commercial, in the same commercial!
1. First person delivery: “Struggling with bipolar disorder can be such a burden. For years I…”
2. “Elderly people with dementia should not take Abilify”

Not 14 days ago, Hillary was ahead by 24 points in Ohio. How much attention to politics can people really be paying for things to shift so quickly?
What does it mean when single words replace cogent thoughts, analyses and arguments to get a man elected? “Change”, “Believe”. What’s next, “Goo goo, ga ga” ?
10:23 P.M.
Is this the part where Hillary realizes she really isn’t Bill?

Ever wonder what the top 100 U.S. newspapers by circulation were?

According to John Kasich, Diane Feinstein is scheduled to begin a “woman’s assault” on the media’s biased coverage in favor of Barack Obama on Fox & Friends this morning. Hillary’s campaign has plotted to whip up a feminist strike on the MSM, utilizing high-profile American women like Mrs. Feinstein.

Oh Jesus, will somebody please fire Gretchen Carlson already? The morning show is a key slot. A piece of styrofoam shouldn’t be used to anchor it in place.

Here’s what seems to be emerging from the Texas massacre. It’s a bit of a “Psycho and Juliet” story. Teenage daughter was dating was dating one of the killers, while her mother and some other relative were working hard to break them up. Developing…

Leftist Guardian dismisses Harry’s Afghanistan service as “Cringemaking Stunt”. Of course they argue that “there is no exit strategy” for Britain, although they allege one was in place for Harry.

Ahmadinejad in Baghdad today: “Iraqis don’t like Americans”.
6:37 A.M.
More evidence that the Obamas speak exactly, exactly, like they are leading a cult. Remember this? Whether they realize it or not, they are leading a movement by utilizing precisely the same basic rhetorical, intellectual, and psychological techniques of typical cult leaders.
8:17 A.M.
The Texas ranch massacre is getting sicker. Not only was it perpetrated by the family’s daughter’s boyfriend, but it’s starting to look like the daughter was in on it. She was found hiding out at one of the suspects’ house. Her parents were demanding that she break-up with the boyfriend. And somehow, he was able to talk at least two of his buddies to help him with the killing.
