- Every year, the anniversary of the Armenian genocide forces American leaders to decide whether they’re rather piss off the Armenians or the Turks, and every year they opt, obviously, to annoy the Armenians. [AP]

I wonder if Lee and Ling had slightly more Western-sounding names, their plight would get more play in the MsM. Sounds like a Cirque du Soleil act. Also, if they were white.
When those pics of detainee abuse come out, the shit’s really going to hit the fan. Joe ‘dead woman in my office’ Scarborough was incensed this morning that just the memo’s came out. If he’s such a fan of America, why doesn’t he have his kids serve? Let them get waterboarded by some brown guys & see if Joe doesn’t squeal about torture like a pig getting castrated!
Releasing more torture pics will incite a mid-east backlash? Why the fuck not? We administer the lash, they give it back. Fair’s fair.
Poodles are the Armenians of the dog world.
Leave Susan Boyle Alone!
TGIF and it’s casual day. What has the world come to, George Will?
Oh noes, after spending all my money on my Susan Boyle makeover. I though dowdy was in?
This unibrow cost me a month’s salary.
bitchincamaro: And blonde.
Great that Ford’s keeping its nose above water. I wonder if its retirees are in better shape than those of GM and Chrysler?
Texan Bulldoggette: The Shi’ite pilgrimage to the site of whatever massacre they’re remembering is turning into a bloodbath itself. It’s time for that million or so armed right-wingers to go over there and preserve Bill Kristol’s legacy.
Things sure would be different if Armenia was the holy land of three great world superstitions & their government had the US government’s balls in a vice and they had their very own Joe Liebermanian.
Susan Boyle? I would hit…waitaminnit…
Texan Bulldoggette: Douchebourogh has become intolerable, I also don’t like yelling and throwing things at the teevee first thing in the am…I think all these blowhard torture apologists should submit to waterboarding, STAT.
bitchincamaro: I think if they’d been kidnapped by the North Koreans, it’d be one thing. Voluntarily sneaking into North Korea? What did they think was gonna happen? I mean, under the North Korean governmental system, journamalism IS espionage.
Texan Bulldoggette: Oh, that clip is CLASSIC!

Texan Bulldoggette: Oops, wrong reference, but classic, nonetheless.
freakishlystrong: And when did Mika become such a useless vagina in heels? She used to actually push back a little but now she’s become a complete ‘Scarborough Wife’. I hope pics come out soon of her & Joe doing it on top of the desk, while Willie Geist watches.
bitchincamaro: Yes, did you see Keith telling Sean that he’d give him $1000 for charity for every second he could withstand being waterboarded? Oh the idea of Sean being waterboarded gives ME tingles up my leg. That would be way better than Hitchens (who was probably drunk at the time & doesn’t even remember it).
Texan Bulldoggette: HA! I agree, he’s completly demoralised her. I really get pissed as well because these goddamn wingnuts are making the discourse about Obama and the Democrats. They never discuss the Bush/Darth culpability. Right before I left this am, they actually had some tool on saying that they should investigate Bill Clinton..wait, what the fuck!!1
Lazy Media: I know. I heard some nonsense about them crossing a dry river bed, formerly a raging geographical boundary between Dhina & NK. Those Vanguard reporters be cray-cray.
freakishlystrong: ‘They never discuss the Bush/Darth culpability.’
No shit. I also like the fact that they keep instisting that these techniques were neccessary to ‘keep us safe’ when the same thing could have been achieved by reading a report entitled ‘Bin Laden deterimed to attack the US.’ A document pulled together without having to waterboard anyone.
Sorry, butt sexx.
Let’s waterboard Peggy Noonan, see how ‘mysterious’ she finds it. Every time I see that ridiculously smug clip of hers I find myself hoping her end will come soon, violently, and at the hands of a particularly sadistic Mexican.
Cape Clod: I know, I just had to unload that, it’s infuriating. I was muttering and stomping to work on a beautiful Friday, so ass fucking. Also.
North Korea will formally bring charges against two American reporters they’ve now detained for a month and a half.
Haven’t they learned anything from the US? You don’t have to *ever* bring charges when you imprison foreign enemies!
bitchincamaro: *China*. Also.
Texan Bulldoggette: didja see Larry O’Donnell at the end? He just freakin’ DESTROYED Hannity. Said that the idiot thinks waterboarding would work because it would work on him, not the Al Qaeda hijacker types.
Brilliant five minutes at the end.
Also. Mrs Tommy is in a snit so it will be a Salma Hayek filmfest tonight.
Her image as a dowdy virgin had already been called into question earlier in the week after she admitted she’d been videotaped having sex with Rob Lowe and three other girls, mostly teenagers.
Yikes! They are demanding a “congressional probe”…so any Congressional pages should probably stock up on the KY. Hopey hates America….I knew THAT before I voted for him…Everybody wants to kill each other…that’s not exactly news either…and the only thing that will keep the US army in Iraq past 2010 is cheap, plentiful hashish. The Joes, love that stuff. Take a look at Afghanistan, we aint never commin’ out of there…why? We can’t afford to loose our connect for that Afghani Blond.
To paraphrase Pat Buchanan ” Afghanistan, where Empires go to party!”
Prisoner abuse pixxx are a hot source of GOP pr0n revenue. Consider it a stealth tax on the Republicans, especially those in Utah:

My “Morning Joe” usually takes eight sheets of toilet paper to get rid of.
Ford lost money? Must be the Unions again.
hobospacejunkie: Andrew Sullivan had this dissected perfectly yesterday…worth a read.

Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!: Yeah. From here, it seems to me like the decision to use techniques designed to elicit false confessions was not a “mistake made in the aftermath of 9/11″, but rather a deliberately selected tactic; how else could you get anyone to say Saddam and Al Qaeda were BFFs?
Also, flying buttsecks through a cheerio in a hurricane.
Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!: Lawrence has been on a roll lately. First his pissing match with Pat Buchanan over Notre Dame, then he trashed Liz Cheney after her ‘interview’ with Norah O’Donnell & then last night about the Hannity waterboarding treat (well, for us at least). I think I might be in love….
Sorry, about the Salma Hayek night. I’m a chick & I don’t even like her.
Annoying the Armenians will backfire big time when Serj SarGsyan, as he likes to call himself, sheds his human form and reveals the cunning Reptiloid underneath.
SUSAN BOYLE FOR PRESIDENT!
gurukalehuru: God - isn’t she the cutest?!! Tell you what, if Susan’s game I’ll make her a trade - she can have my face and body if I can have her incredible voice and her just plain adorableness.
bitchincamaro: Look up “owned” in the dictionary and it’ll refer you to that clip.
Texan Bulldoggette: If you ever wanted to speedboat some mams, you’d understand.
Tommy Says Soooo, Jugdish!: “speedboat some mams”
Is that some sort of reference to titty-fucking?
Custerwolf: OK.
