New terrorist threat: the Gay Bomb

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

As you’ve undoubtedly heard, the Pentagon — once again proving that a bottomless budget invariably leads to bottomless nonsense — recently toyed with the notion of creating a bomb that would turn opposing troops gay. 

Let’s all pray the terrorists never hear about this.  If they do, all they’ll have to do to bring America to its knees is to set off bombs turning our troops gay.  Our own military will then do the rest by promptly discharging them from service (the consequences be damned) for being homosexual, thereby leaving the nation undefended.

What’s Lieberman’s game?

Monday, June 11th, 2007

If there was ever any doubt that one of Joe Lieberman’s principal goals in the current Congress is to rub the Democrats’ noses in it, such doubt is surely gone in light of his vote in support of Attorney General Gonzales

I understand about Joe and Iraq: true, he is asininely wrong about the war, but he’s sincerely asininely wrong.  He honestly believes that the war in Iraq is just about the niftiest thing ever to come down the pike.  The fact this view borders on insanity makes it no less sincere.

Viewed from the perspective of Joe’s resentful and clearly mediocre mind, backing Bush on Iraq is entirely reasonable.

The same is true for his recent lunacy in advocating bombing Iran: it’s a moronic suggestion, of course — dangerously so — but it’s consistent with Joe’s world view.  Joe likes blowing people up; his idea of a well rounded foreign policy involves using a wide variety of weapons.

But today’s vote against allowing the full Senate to hold an up or down vote on the no-confidence resolution against Gonzales (Joe was the only non-Republican to vote that way) is something altogether different.  Sure, Joe likes torture and curtailing civil liberties, and all that — so in certain respects, I suppose, he is a natural ally to Gonzales.  But does Joe truly endorse the politicizing of the Justice Department?  Does he think repeatedly lying to Congress is okey-dokey? 

No, this isn’t about policy: it’s about rubbing the Democrats noses in it.  Joe has found something to live for in the twilight of his career — vindictiveness.  We “betrayed” him by backing Ned Lamont, and now he’s returning the favor.

He may think he has something else working, of course: like getting a cabinet post in the next Republican administration.  But, God willing, he’ll be far too old to hold office by the time another GOP presidency rolls around. 

Meanwhile, the rest of us are left to hold our noses and bide our time until 2008, when likely Democratic pickups in the Senate will make him all but irrelevant.  Perhaps then we’ll finally have proof for the old adage: Old chickenhawks (and chickenshits) never die, they just fade away.

Maybe Monica was busy

Monday, June 11th, 2007

Speaking as a non-Ivey League trained lawyer, I am (not surprisingly) in full-throated agreement with Atrios that one can’t assume the best lawyers (or the best anything else, for that matter) necessarily come from elite universities.  Still, this is pretty funny (and, yes, pathetic, as well):

From Tapped:

SO HELP ME IVY. The Post reports that President Bush is beefing up his besieged White House legal team with some crack lawyers to defend the administration against a variety of congressional inquiries. As the Post’s Peter Baker notes, all eight [of the newly-hired attorneys] received degrees from Ivy League schools or from West Point.

So, when it comes to policy-making over at the so-called Justice Department, a Regent University law degree, like the one held by Monica “I may have crossed the line” Goodling and a battalion of other fundies, suffices. But when it comes to protecting the president’s backside, apparently a divine legal degree is no substitute for an East Coast elite Ivy School pedigree.

Juan Cole has a good post up

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

With a touch of embarrassment, I’ll admit to having felt just a little sorry for Paris Hilton, not over her punishment, but over the spectacle that surrounded her being hauled back to jail the second time.  But Juan Cole helps put this into a broader context.

Paris Hilton & Iraqi Prisoners 

The US military is holding 19000 Iraqis, 16000 of them at Bucca. Although most are guerrillas or their helpers, a lot of them were picked up because they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Once arrested, an inmate often cannot clear himself for months or years. I don’t think they have access to attorneys. No one cares if they are depressed.

Some Iraqi women have been held in this way. Some were essentially hostages, taken to make them reveal where their husbands were or to guarantee their good behavior. Their reputations were shot, since Iraqis think Americans are sex fiends and wouldn’t trust the virtue of a woman who had been in their custody. The unmarried among them are likely doomed to be spinsters.

American television never mentions that the US has 19000 Iraqis in jail, or that some have been women, or that some are innocent, or how they feel about being in prison

Question of the day: Will Bush pardon Libby?

Friday, June 8th, 2007

So what do you think?  Will the Scootinator be pardoned by Bush before he gets carted off to Club Fed?  For whatever it’s worth, my instincts say yes.  Pardoning Libby would be consistent with Bush’s modus operandi of pissing at the rule of law whenever possible, and as a special added bonus, of course, would also help to guarantee Libby’s continued silence.

But my instincts also tell me that Bush would pay a bigger price for doing this than most people believe.  Americans hate him — the polls leave no doubt about that — but they don’t hate him deeply enough, yet, to support radical action such as impeachment.

A Libby pardon could change that.  And yes, I know the public doesn’t seem all that revved up about the scandal right now: but my instincts — yeah, them again — tell me a pardon could start an avalanche of public anger, perhaps starting slowly, but then building both in speed and strength until it consumes the administration.

So, my first bet is that Bush will pardon Libby.  My second bet is he’ll live to regret it. 

What do you think?

The news media is the issue

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Yeah, I know it’s Paul Krugman — the Shrill One himself.  Still, I can’t help but take some small encouragement from the fact that a New York Times columnist recognizes that one of the biggest factors in the outcome of the 2008 election is likely to be the media.  Back in 2000, by making their own pissiness toward Al Gore a bigger focus in their election coverage than George W. Bush’s dishonesty and lack of qualification for the presidency, the “elite” media effectively gave us the Bush presidency. 

Think what that means: this small collection of media prima donnas played a huge part in giving us Iraq, environmental neglect, corruption, assaults on civil liberties and the politics of fear.

So, could it happen again?  Krugman thinks so.

In Tuesday’s Republican presidential debate, Mitt Romney completely misrepresented how we ended up in Iraq. Later, Mike Huckabee mistakenly claimed that it was Ronald Reagan’s birthday.

Guess which remark The Washington Post identified as the “gaffe of the night”?

Folks, this is serious. If early campaign reporting is any guide, the bad media habits that helped install the worst president ever in the White House haven’t changed a bit.
