I suspect everybody who would object retired or resigned long ago. <br /><br />JJeff Huberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14146644937683409726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-77649229947544842011-09-28T03:45:01.328-04:002011-09-28T03:45:01.328-04:00RE: Mullen...told Blanche Graham and Joe Liebfraum...RE: Mullen...told Blanche Graham and Joe Liebfraumilch and Senator Ex-Prisoner of War that the Hagqani terrorist network “acts as” a “veritable arm” of Pakistan’s Internal Services Intelligence Agency aka “ISI.” ~ Huber<br /><br />MY COMMENT: Right! And back before the invasion of Iraq, ye old stovepiper extraordinare, Douglas Feith, assured Pretend-President George W. Bush that Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda had a "mature symbiotic relationship".<br />G-d only knows what Bush thought "symbiotic" meant. Something to do with Gog and Magog, perhaps? And I'm certain Bush would not dare ask anyone what "symbiotic" meant, or go to the gargantuan effort of looking it up in a dictionary. But then, I imagine that was precisely why Feith used that term. And perhaps because it provided beaucoup 'wiggle room' so as allow Feith to later deny responsibility for his fallacious assessment.<br /><br />P.S. Good-ness gray-cious! Sen-a-tuh Gray-yam certainly does look fetching in J. Edgar's favorite party dress. Those Carolina bois are way hot!<br />Be still my heart!dickerson3870https://www.blogger.com/profile/00905789483073234817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796551.post-37764205175317399442011-09-27T13:50:20.661-04:002011-09-27T13:50:20.661-04:00Hah!

It's more serious in the sense that it's much more of an Orwellian dystopia satire, but trust me, there's plenty of Mel Brooks for all the comedy fans. thanks for asking. <br /><br />No, I don't reckon they'd mind if it was Bush in the vignette.

The MIC Gadget people should rethink their limited edition, one-to-a-customer policy, as the DNC will probably be placing orders in bulk.<br /><br />Would the keyboard commandos be objecting if that were Bush standing there instead of Obama (with a bottle of Jack in his belt instead of the Blackberry)? Somehow, I think not. <br /><br />Any hints on the ETA for the new novel? Maybe I'm reading too much into the excerpts, but it sounds like it's going to be more serious in tone than the first one.jpwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975430453557627368noreply@blogger.com
