DAILY BRIEFING

Meet Me In The Morning

  • Regarding a proliferation of fake Obama VP text messages, Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki says, “Everyone can also rest easy that despite their popularity, Mickey Mouse and Michael Phelps are not on the short list at this time.” [Politico]
  • Russia will ruin (and run) everything in the New Cold War. [New York Times]
  • In 2006, the hospital Michelle Obama worked at hired David Axelrod’s firm to do a bunch of PR stuff. [Washington Post]
  • The Iraqi Army sucks less than it used to, so now U.S. troops can go home. [Wall Street Journal]
  • The city of Denver will collapse under the weight of billions of froth-mouthed Obamatards, including many who don’t have tickets to the presumptive nominee’s acceptance speech but are going anyway. [Los Angeles Times]
  • Sunni citizen patrols have helped tamp down violence across Iraq, and now Shiites are like, “Oh hey thanks now we will arrest you.” [New York Times]

    Seems like the Russians enlist the same bunch of mouth-breathers our own recruiters pursue in our nation’s high schools.

    >>The Iraqi Army sucks less than it used to, so now U.S. troops can go home.

    The U.S. is handing over the baton, eh?

    Yeah, great success NeoCons. Kicking the shit out of a beaten nation, occupying it’s remains when it wasn’t fucking important while ignoring the Russians who are resurgent because of high energy prices caused in large part to the war you created.

    Too bad you fucks didn’t read the lessons of the Athenian invasion of Syracuse while parroting “It’s just like Munich! Everything is just like Munich! Appeasement! Appeasement!”

  4. It’s a good thing the Russians will stop at nothing, ’cause that’s precisely what we have to stop them with.

    In re: Iraqi army - Great! Now we can declare a glorious victory for our Republic and go home. Hey, seeya next time, world! It’s ok, you don’t have to thank us. No, really!

    ManchuCandidate: The last syllable of the word ‘Neocon’ should’ve given it away.

    Honey we could be in Moscow, by the time the snow begins to thaw.

    You know, I started that Post article in the dead tree version this a.m. and got barely past the fold before I said to myself, ’self, yes, you are an Obamatard, but even you can say credibly that this article really seems to be reaching to create an issue where there is none.’ I mean, OK, so? There is not a whiff of impropriety here. If this were about WALNUTS!, I’d feel the same way.

  7. Doglessliberal says at 9:59 am, August 22nd, 2008

    Mickey Mouse might be good, though he does have the propensity for half-nudity.

  8. I think that once the Russian aristocracy begins to realize the financial ramifications of this ego boost, there will be a cry from within to restore relations with the West.

  9. Darehead says at 11:34 am, August 22nd, 2008

    I feel sorry for the Daily Briefing today. Cuz no one cares about anything but the veep.

  10. An Outhouse says at 12:24 pm, August 22nd, 2008

    “many who don’t have tickets ”
    Deadheads for Obama?
