Thanks for a good post on the verbal antics of a leading sad sack GOP contender. Amusing, but regrettable the attention it garners diverts from more perceptive, useful commentary:
"One man wasn't too thrilled by yesterday's events: Bush. His entire Pakistan policy is in tatters."

"So, Bush has accelerated the decline of U.S. influence in the region through a series of disastrous blunders, and that decline is unlikely to be significantly reversed by any successor Administration in Washington — the decline of U.S. global influence is related not only to tactical errors by Bush; it is also a symptom of structural shifts in the global political economy."

As insightful and brilliant as Chazelle and Karon are, they err in assigning the callow Bush authorship for this reign of crime, blunder and calamity. An experienced, seasoned team of veteran foreign policy hands crafted this dog's breakfast faithfully following proven recipes straight out of a family cook book that's served their masters well for generations.
Huckabee's not the only nag deserving a one way trip to the glue factory.
It's the world that's changed. It's on to them. And it's packing serious heat.
History's actors, indeed. Praise the Lord and pass the insulation.
As someone said on TLC:
"It is the single most preposterous collection of human beings ever to share a stage in the entire history of the human race, a catalogue of human failure, the ultimate proof of the folly of our species."
Will the author please step forward and receive the best quote of the year award?

A senior aide to Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee admitted Friday that the former Arkansas governor had "no foreign policy credentials" after his comments reacting to the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto raised questions.
Well, what the heck. We don't need the President of the United States to have foreign policy credentials. Bush didn't, and look how that worked out. F*cking amazing!

Speaking of New York Times, guess who has been hired at the New York Times to become a weekly columnist in 2008. Yep, little Billy Kristol.
Posted by Judith at December 29, 2007 03:52 AMWhat a surprise, Hucksteree is just the latest ignorant, tub-thumping evangelical conserva-fool. The new Repub model.
I think he'd do quite well in the general election, as he tells the boobus americanus exactly what they already believe (thanks to Rightwing media) and what they want to hear. Reality is now utterly a secondary "concern".
keepout, thanks for the links, as always.
