Say No to Sycophantism

*If you don't get the pony reference, a lot of us bloggers on the left have
been referring to phrases like "the next six months in iraq...." and "we
will find wmd" etc as "where are the ponies". i think atrios originated the
phrase, but not certain.

If I were a praying man, I'd be begging for a coordinated shark attack on
these United States.

And who are these retailers, home builders, and TV executives? Why,
BUSH-Republicans, of course!

"If McCain wants to go that route, I can suggest another: that John McCain
is probably the favorite candidate of Osama bin Laden, just as George W.
Bush was Osama's presidential preference. Why? Because both Bush and McCain
have bought Osama's disinformation about Iraq being the central front in the
war on terrorism. Of course, bin Laden wants the gullible neocons to take
the Iraq bait because Afghanistan really is the central front of the war on
terrorism--more precisely the Afghan-Pakistani border areas where the real
Al Qaeda lives. The war in Iraq has been a grand strategic gift to Osama,
keeping the U.S. military tied down elsewhere and off his tail."

When was the last time anybody won a presidential election based on policy?
Ask Al Gore. Ask John Kerry. Then ask George Bush. That's right. Never.
Presidential campaigns are won on personality. So while I like Krugman, and
yes I know he's done yeoman's work for progressives during times when joe
klein was talking about how cool it was that freedom was on the march in
iraq [while killing 600,000 innocent people], during this entire cycle
krugman has been nothing short of a full-time 100% certified shill for the
clinton campaign. that's not necessarily a problem, but he should come out
and say he just likes clinton over obama, and it has nothing to do with
policy.

"The time has come. The time has come. The time is now. Just go. ... I don't
care how. You can go by foot. You can go by cow. Hillary R. Clinton, will
you please go now! You can go on skates. You can go on skis. ... You can go
in an old blue shoe.
Just go, go, GO!"

LOL....modo is my favorite write now. i quadruple heart her for expressing
my sentiments so well.

Is he skittish around her because he knows that she detests him and he's
used to charming everyone? Or does he feel guilty that he cut in line ahead
of her? As the husband of Michelle, does he know better than to defy the
will of a strong woman? Or is he simply scared of Hillary because she's
scary?

can you imagine getting PAID to write this stuff?
i can't either.

i am a limousine liberal. i swear. i took an suv cab home from the airport a
few months ago. that qualifies as a limo, no?
i'm also a latte liberal, i drink a bottle of packaged cold
coffee-like-liquid everyday!

any others that i missed? anyway, the way i see it, more people would be
limousine or latte liberals if they had the money to spend on these things
and get a chance to appreciate them. therefore, its in the interest of the
republican party to keep people poor and/or scared. those are pretty much
the only two things that gets them votes from anybody who makes less than
$250,000/yr.

wait, there's more. i'm in medical school now, so that would make
me....."very very not regular!!"..

or something.

right. iraq was a heck of a lot more secure before we went in, than it is
right now. our oil-rich allies are just waiting for the time when we decide
to install a "benevolent dictator" and restore the natural order of things.
