Apparently nostalgic for the giant sucking credibility hole that was Don Rumsfeld’s tenure at DoD, SecDef Gates’s team has decided once again that contradicting the president endangers our precious bodily fluids. Great. I thought by now we had grown out of the Dear Leader stuff.
Next week: an Iranian defector nicknamed “knuckleball” whispers to Judy Miller Michael Gordon that Iran has nuclear-tipped box kites that can fly across the Atlantic and land on your dog.

Why do you hate my dog?

Iran, Iran…. how many times did Lieberman mention Iran the other night during the Republican filibuster? I counted like 5 at least.
If we aren’t at war with Iran by the time election 2008 rolls around, it will truly be a miracle.

I was struck by how many times Fran Townsend mentionned defending “the Homeland” in her press conference. Since when did we stop being “America” or “the United States” and start being “the Homeland.” Creepy, creepy terminology if you ask me.

It’s only creepy once it’s fully God-win-able. As long as we stay this side of “The Fatherland”, I think we’re fine.

Does anybody actually listen to what Tony Snow says. There could not be anybody in the history of mankind that has spewed forth more bullshit.

Forgive my subtlety, but I think it’s pretty clear, if you vote for a Democrat you will die in the most horrific way imaginable…

My dog can kick your kite’s ass, man.

Yes, because the helicopters on the roof of the embassy in Saigon were just, you know, perception. Just like we didn’t actually leave Lebanon, we just stopped staying there.
Conservaloonies, meet reality. You two have a lot of catching up to do.

You’d think a man as gravely ill as he has been would give more thought to what will happen after he passes; that he’d at least worry for the sake of his legacy if not for his soul. The denial is very strong with this one.

Which dog. I have many dogs.

Tim,
From the article you linked:
OOOh-kay. Let’s read up on Eric Edelman:
Yeah, he goes way back.

This is interesting:
As Sully says, the WH just gave her the perfect platform to grandstand. Maybe someone there has decided to start campaigning for Clinton.

Your favorite dog. Even if you don’t know which one is your favorite, the kite knows.

Tim, not to be too much of a sycophant, but that was a helluva post. Thanks for the laughter.
