COWARD

According to Laura Rozen Rumsfeld is bailing after the elections.

This is the mark of a true coward. When faced with the likelihood that he is going to grilled by Congress - something he has 1) had to do rarely and 2) under the most shall we say congenial circumstances - he decides that it is time to spend more time with the family.

Of course a REAL Congress doing REAL oversight and pursuing REAL investigations will have a subpoena. Just the ticket to drag his sorry retired ass under the klieg lights to get his patented bromides.

I... can't...wait. Next summer will be fun.

Of course in the real world it means that he leaves it someone in the waning days of The Bush Disasteration - someone no doubt approved in the most bitter of circumstances - to try to clean up the dogshit he has made of our defense policy.

Good old Rummy... just like a coward.

Our very own Nero










Is it too early to start figuring out how we can undo the damage caused by this one?

From Daddy Party to Creepy Uncle Party

I really don't have anymore to add to that headline. I am flabbergasted by the implosion of the Republican Party. In the same week they gut the Constitution they become the next big child sex abuse law suit.

And as if that is not bad enough we get this image from This Modern World (http://thismodernworld.com/3215) :



which seems to capture both men as they feel the massive shitflow pouring in over the top of their waders.

I really really hope that in twenty years (assuming we survive with a nation in tact) that we can look back at this period and really understand what really happened. It is just too weird to be the offices of a normal mortal agency.

Of course as we see in this weeks revelations from Woodward's book Henry Kissinger is a top unofficial advisor on the Iraq mess. Which not only explains the mess in Iraq but also the weirdness beyond human agency.

Unfortunately it virtually guarantees in twenty years time we will be doing it all over again - maybe in the dessert plains of antartica (imagine the untapped resources there). Kissinger not being human, leaves me unconvinced of his mortality.

Someone ask Hitchens. That is, if you can get the rug from between his teeth.
