Damn straight. What’s worse is that the corporate media will be the oh-so-willing codependents – happy stenographers for all the neocon’s blaming and back-peddling.

Thanks for this post, Brad.

Because if Dubya’s . . . y’know . . . indiscretions with the paid male companions comes out, it would be best if nobody believed it.

Oh, I dunno. So, if Scottie McClellan had hired JeffuLube to stop by teh White House a few (dozen) times so’s Dumbya could fondle his bald pate for, well, hours at a time, would that be so gay? What? Naked at the time‽
JeffyLube’s little head is bald, too‽

“Oh, yeah, Mr. Preznit!!1! Yeah!1! Ohhhhhhh… Hail to teh Chief!!!1!” [splut splut splut]
[please vomit over in the Corner--thank yew!]
Uh… nevermind.

Oh, on one level I believe that Simone Ledeen was the starry-eyed little neocon idealiste thinking she was bringing American values to the benighted Iraqis. She was young and idealistic.

It’s just that a) she had access to a job way beyond her abilities and b) she was hired by people who valued loyalty over ability and c) the whole place was full of war profitteers.

That and the fact that she “lost” 9 million dollars. I don’t think it went into her pocket, at least not most of it. I think lots of people way smarter than Simone stole more that she did.

Just watch how history records it. It will be satisfying.

I am reading “Imperial Life in the Emerald City.” It’s so fucking depressing how badly they fucked this whole thing up. But These assholes’ fingerprints are all over it!

To trash Condi — incompetent Condi — when the groundwork for the fuckups was laid by Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz with their sponsorship of Chalabi is disingenuous. Oh, strike that. Not disingenuous. LYING.

To cast Bush as a bumbler mislead by the ladies — yeah, Bush was a bumbler allright, but he’s responsible for his bumbling.

I can’t tell you all how much this book is depressing me. How utterly stupdily self-centered, politically and ideologically driven the whole occupation and “reconstruction” of Iraq has been — there is a special place in hell for these people.

And as for Perle, throwing up his hands and crying, like Bart Simpson “I didn’t do it!” – he deserves to be turned on a spit in Satan’s firey grill. With chimchurri sauce.

Richard Perle’s photo looks like he’s auditioning for the part of the corpse of Norman Bates’s mom, is what I’m saying.

-Instead of following the advice of tough men who were all Cobra Kai, saying, “Strike first, strike hard, no mercy, sir,” President Bush allowed himself to be swayed by fawning women who were all, “Can we talk.”

-It’s risky to have women as consigliere because they are prone to fall in love with the patriarch.

-Someone who is emotionally attached to someone else is incapable of giving them good advice.

-Bush ignored men whose commitment to the president was more institutional than personal and whose advice sprung from their rational reflection on the nation’s best interest.

Attorney General Gonzales, attach the electrodes.

Baghdad’s still a-smolder
It wasn’t me
Treating prisoners like Botha
It wasn’t me
Blix got the cold shoulder
It wasn’t me
Our credibility’s in tatters
It wasn’t me

Osama’s trail’s getting colder
It wasn’t me
Condi says no one told her
It wasn’t me
Now Iran’s getting bolder
It wasn’t me
The Bush Doctrine is over

They have surrendered their humanity, and I’ll be damned if I’ll give it back to them. They can all go to hell by their own fucking hand.

It would be irresponsible not to speculate….
