- Now Condi Rice is going to take a whack at brokering a peace deal between Georgia and Russia, since the French version didn’t seem to “take.” [BBC]
- Poland and the U.S. reached an agreement about putting a U.S. missile defense base in Poland. This naturally went over like a lead balloon with the Russians. [New York Times]
- Short on friends in Washington and at home, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is expected to resign before impeachment charges are filed against him. [Washington Post]
- Will putting Hillary Clinton on the ballot at the national convention convince her supporters that they are “not invisible” and that their “voices have been heard and respected” and all that? We’ll find out soon! [Wall Street Journal]
- Chances are a Wednesday night convention speaker will be the vice presidential nominee. [The Hill]
- Oh John Edwards you are so busted. [New York Times]
Condi Rice? Bah. this is a job for Joe Lieberman and Graham.
Yeah an ABM site in Poland is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine except the screen door actually does what it is supposed to do.
According to Aviation Leak, the system’s got about a 90% miss rate on “enhanced” targets (ie: with beacons to help guide it in) without any jamming or other countermeasures. Like the Rooshins are gonna help by increasing the radar signatures of their warheads. Yeah, I want me some of that defense!!!
I’m pretty sure Condi’s “peace plan” is a lot like my Mom’s peace plan when my brother and I would fight in the back seat of the car.
“You two better stop it before I pull this car over and stop it myself.”
or, in other words,
“You two better stop it before we call in some planes with big fucking bombs and stop this war ourselves. Then you will be sorry!”
Well, while Condi is over in Georgia solving that problem (she did so well in the Middle East), she can just add a trip north to Poland after they are invaded by the Russians, too.
b-b-b-b-but that’s supposed to defend against Iran!
What’s the deal with Musharraf’s hair? Is that a wig, or Hair Club for Men piece, or a transplant, or Condui Rice’s beaver on top of his head? His new career can be as a spokesmodel for new hair replacement procedures.
Oh good. We can all stop worrying now. Condi’s on the case. I bet Putin is trembling in his jackboots.
If I were the Iranians, I would be asking if I kan haz air defenz system now 2.
Rielle Hunter’s autobiography will definitely make non-boring reading.
Did anyone see that Hardball interview, hosted by David Schuster, with the head PUMA and some pro-Clinton dude and Schuster basically POUNCED on them, calling the chick a Republican and exposed her batshit logic.
David: “Do you believe in abortion and women’s rights?”
PUMA chick: “Of course I do.”
David: “Then why are you voting for McCain?”
PUMA chick: “(crazy talk)”
David: “Didn’t you contribute to the Republican Party back in 2004?”
PUMA chick: “Yes, BUT…”
It was beautiful.
Um. Condi Rice is just delivering the paperwork on the deal Sarko worked out; she’d get a barium sundae if she tried to do any “brokering” in Moscow.
So, to recap…
John Edwards: pwned; Musshie: pwned; Bushie: pwned; Pooty: win; Real Druck: win.
Too Lazy To Sign In: “Don’t make me come back there!”
Too bad our policy in Iraq wasn’t more like “If you Sunni and Shia don’t stop fighting, I’m going to turn this car around and go straight back home!”
If we fail to establish a national ceremony by which each and every morning, all citizens declare their faithful support of and appreciation for Hillary Clinton, it will be like a slap in the face to her 18 million strong army.
The Real JR Revisted: Ya, Schuster owned those assholes..who was the “guy”?
“Short on friends in Washington and at home, U.S. President Dubya Bush is expected to resign before impeachment charges are filed against him.”
My friends, that’s a headline I could believe in!
I think Putin wants Condi to take him over her knee and spank his naked, white ass.
Or maybe that’s just me.
I checked, and Polish Suprise has not yet been defined in Urban Dictionary. I would have thought it would have something to do with a sausage.
Watching the John Edwards yard sale big wipe out, I’m wondering “What is going to happen to the boychimp President on January 21?” If Edwards is essentially a non-person now, will Bush turn inside out? What scandals and bullshit will erupt from his butthole?
freakishlystrong: No idea but he seemed like one of those emasculated males that the bitters like to surround themselves with. Read: Laney Davis.
I’m going to the Hardball site right now to get the particulars.
Schuster is the man. And you can tell he is still so pissed about his suspension bullshit over the “pimp out Chelsea” thing. I love it.
The John Edwards story contains the names “Ms. Marple” and “Pigeon O’Brian”. Apparently, Edwards’ world is populated with people named after British fictional characters.
paolaccio: Condi defines ineffectual. It is pretty pathetic how useless she has been in her current role. She should have stayed in the job where she got to plan how to start wars n’ stuff.
And I hope this is toothless chesthumping on Bush’s part, because I can imagine him happily skipping away Jan 20 saying “hah hah, have fun with the wars in Europe, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan!” His only regret will be defusing tensions in N. Korea.
The Real JR Revisted: He was definitly the bigger bitch of the two, and that’s saying a lot..
Doglessliberal: For shame, scoffer. Condi’s frequent flier mile collection for her worldwide “scowl and look busy” tours is world-class. True this: the plane she usually uses was being used by Cheney to fly him to a fundraiser in Colorado, so she had to take one of the planes usually used by Bush. I have missed PSP’s Condi report lately.
freakishlystrong: Okay, did a search and found that the “guy” was at the hilarious PUMA convention. http://www.rumproast.com/index.php/site/comments/the_truth_about_puma_conference_08_you_cant_spell_conference_without_c_o_n/
Second to last photo, he’s the guy on the extreme left.
In a symbolic move, Hillary Clinton will be placed on the ballot as a presidential candidate at the Democratic convention this month, the latest effort to appease her supporters and heal wounds inflicted during the primary.
Oh for the love of FUCK ALL. The best way to appease Hilz’s bitterz and “heal wounds”( *cough*self-inflicted*cough*) is to give them all an arsenic-laced mojito. That’ll learn ‘em.
Will Condi take the trouble to mention to President Saakashvili that he has been an irresponsible asshat? I doubt it.
WadISay: me, too, though my main reason for reading our dear Princess Sparkle Pony was to see what shoes Condi was wearing.
And what is Cheney raising money for? I worry. A lot. Can you see McCain saying “hey, guess what? I said Cheney has been doing a great job, and I meant it so much that HE is my VP pick!” We’d have insane stroke risk backed by insane undead.
WadISay: I too miss Sparkle Pony. Come back!
The Real JR Revisted: Schuster was shooting tuna fish in a barrel.
The Real JR Revisted: Lordie, a festival of Not Hawts! Terrifying…
I’ve been trying to think of something that Condi has accomplished and I remembered she went shopping once. Good for her!
The Incomparable Tiny Valdez:
Maybe if we click our heals together and chant
Princess, Princess, Princess…
If only Hillary’s bitters really WERE invisible…
Doglessliberal: The latter was actually a mispelling. It should have read “Pigeons O’Brien”, a SC favorite at the community potlucks. If the pigeons are simmered properly, the meat just falls of the bone.
eyesfriedopen: ah, goes well with Brunswick stew, made the real country way with rabbit and squirrel.
We have failed to praise Hillary Clinton’s contributions in this comment thread in the previous half hour or so. This is a slap in the face to her supporters.
donner_froh: Why isn’t that vid going around? That totally needs to be viral.
FOUND IT!

If one were to take the PUMAheads seriously on the Hardball interview (somewhere between insanely difficult and impossible) they would be more wonky than the Lenin/Lunacharsky split. Reform the DNC by helping to elect McCain–what could make more sense?
Naked Bunny with a Whip: I would prefer to see those stiletto boot heels of hers grinding on his scrotum.
WadISay: Yes, I know this story has been beaten to death, but let me just say that let he who has not had sex with Rielle Hunter throw the first stone.

As a McCain supporter I could not wipe the smile from my face when I heard the news Hillary was going to be on the ballot. Does anyone seriously doubt she has already started the Hillary in 2012 campaign? I am going to make popcorn and tune in to watch the democrats implode and the Clintons guarantee not just 1 more republican presidential term but many more. If things do turn ugly the various factions will hold grudges for years. The shear beauty of watching the party of identity politics destroy itself over - wait for it - identity politics brings a tear to my eye.
