“Hillary.

I hate to say it, but yes: Hillary.”

“George W. Bush managed to "Katrina" New Orleans.

How long will it take President Obama to realize he has "Katrina'ed" the entire country?”

“Yeah, DeMint would be bothered. Hot and bothered.”

“If this is a Top Arizona Republican, who's the Bottom Arizona Republican? Do we even need to ask? Do we want to know?”

“and guess who the phuquee is . . .”

“The time to "talk to Joe" is long past. There's only one kind of communication he understands: Ex-communication.”

“Well, President Obama is keeping one campaign promise: He's looking forward, not backward.

The "enlightened" man's version of "I go with my gut."

What a tragedy.”

“2 questions:

Is Joe LIEvermin still alive today?

If so, why?”

“And yes, Doc, I have listened to much U2. Much too much.”

“If Bono and U2 don't have to know how to do what I do for a living to be able to claim to write music for me, then I don't have to have a band, or play an instrument, to comment on them.

Do you ask the people who like Bono and U2 to buy a guitar and start a band?

Let me know. Don't bother. I already know.”

“Well, Doc, we can agree on one thing:

You fail to understand how I can give a crap about music and be so dismissive of them.”

“Wow, Gator.

I'm close to agreeing with you here. But honestly, admit it: Nirvana has not had the reach of U2, to say nothing of the Beatles.

I've always been a Stones fan. But I've really got to give U2 pride of place: Bono & Company have made entire careers, and fortunes, out of one song, which they simply write new lyrics for occasionally, cut and paste, and then put out albums of these transparent and indistinguishable variations.

Can a band sue itself for plagiarism? If one could, U2 would be it.

Nice move on the wall thing, Bono. Maybe you should have consulted your old Pink Floyd albums before you stepped squarely in this pile of your own doodoo.”

“Well, you've surely produced a well written rejoinder, Mr. Plouffe. May history prove you right. Ms. Huffington is not alone or even remotely in some narrow minority in her concerns. I hope many of us are being myopic. I've never wanted to be very wrong about anything so much in my sixty years. May we have reason to tout both you and Mr. Obama as nothing less than sheer geniuses, head and shoulders above the rest of us. Hopefully, we will get to beg your foregiveness. You do understand why we're so suspicious and cynical, don't you, Mr. Plouffe? I hope so, for all our sakes. I don't wish you a tougher job in 2012 than you had in 2008.”

“"Nothing" would certainly be an improvement over Joe Lieberman.

Remember:

Lieberman begins with Lie.”

“Yeah, they threw away the corpse and kept the schwanz.”

“Not necessary. With Lieberman in the Senate, Israel long ago moved to the US, and the Knesset to Capitol Hill.

Lieberman is as much a creature of the Israelis as the Bush family were of the Saudis.

And I don't think I have to say what kind of creature, do I?”

“Good for Charlize.”

“nice.”

“Cheap, too.”

“You can't sell what you don't own.

Unless you're a banker.”

“Right Eric.

Just as soon as you not only apologize for, but cease to be, a slime ball hooker.

We're not holding our breathe. Just our noses.”

“Why? Bush went to Yale and Harvard. Alberto Gonzales went to Harvard Law. Need I say more?”

“Is that Vitter's real mouth in the picture, or was it photo-shopped from a Fred Flintstone cartoon?”

“The "experts" and the "deciders" will likely continue look at all the things we did wrong in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, and sadly ask ourselves the wrong question: How can we do these things right?

Instead of asking ourselves the only question that matters: What did we do right in Vietnam?

Answer? We "lost." We left.

The results? The domino-theory collapse of South-East Asia?

No.

35 years after the "fall" of Vietnam, Vietnam has long been an unthreatening, if not peaceful, country, where Americans among others live, work, invest and make money.

The Vietnamese solved, and are continuing to solve their own problems. Which they were able to start doing once the one problem they couldn't solve went away: us.

Can we get this lesson through our thick skulls? How long will it take?

And what are our chances? Slim.

Why? Because as long as geniuses like John McCain and Dick Cheney can make careers and fortunes out of their dreams of glory while they bequeath the rest of us their nightmares, too many military officers and politicians will put their careers before the well-being of those they "serve."”

“"God's still up there."

Up where, Senator Inhofe? Where your head spends most of its time?

Must get a bit crowded.”
