Speaking of Chimpy and G8

He pulls this stupid stuff too:

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: “Goodbye from the world’s biggest polluter.”

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

and of course:

The White House apologised for what it called “sloppy work” and said an official had simply lifted the characterisation from the internet without reading it.

Man, I hope the G.O.P. learned their lesson in electing an idiot like him. 🙄

Someone needs to show Bush a Map

Like this: (H/T to Matthew Yglesias)

I mean, how idiotic:

“Amigo! Amigo!” Mr. Bush called out cheerily in Spanish when he spotted the Italian prime minister. “How you doing, Silvio? Good to see you!” Later, the president wondered about his former Russian counterpart, Vladimir V. Putin. “Did Putin come to see you since I saw you?” he asked Mr. Berlusconi. (He had not.)

🙄 and they wonder why we’re not liked in other parts of the world.

On Gramm's Comments.

Yes, I know about McCain adviser Phil Gramm‘s comments.

Part of me, agrees with him.

However, a larger part of me. The part of me, who has not had a full time job since 2005 and the part of me, that has not had a long time, good paying job since 2000, very highly disagrees with him.

I know, McCain supposedly rebuked him, but it does not remove what he said, especially seeing he still stands by what he said.

I guess when you come from a middle class family and live in a state, that is having a one state recession with 7% unemployment. (and that’s the one’s collecting unemployment.) You tend to look at things a little differently, than if you’re a multi-millionaire from in Connecticut.

Iran's Photoshop Psyops

It seems that Iran, Not content with trying to piss off the United States of America, not to mention the members of the United Nations, with the Missile test that it performed yesterday. Now it has been discovered that the Iranians actually photo shopped a picture, that was given to Reuters.

What does this mean? Well, for starters, it means that we cannot trust Iranian people, no further than we could throw one of them. It also means that they’re playing a little Psyops game with the rest of the World. Which really means, Iran is already in war mode, either they are convinced that The United States wants to attack them, or that Israel wants to attack them. Either way, that is a dangerous mentality to have, because Iran could attack Israel, because someone at the switch has heartburn or something. (Sort of a simplistic way of putting it, but I think you all know what I mean here…)

Either way, someone in that part of the country, like Qatar, needs to go to Iran and assure them, that we’re not interested in invading that country.

Get well soon, Ed.

I guess Ed’s feeling a bit under the weather….

Quote:

Unfortunately, I’ve suddenly taken a little ill today, and will have to cancel today’s show. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been recently diagnosed with Type II diabetes and am working through a medication regimen to address high blood sugars. While things get adjusted, it plays some tricks on the body — and to be honest, I’m not sure this is a medication issue or just plain old stomach flu, so we’ll see.– Hot Air » Blog Archive » The Ed Morrissey Show: canceled for today

Hang in there, Ed. That Diabetes ain’t nothing to be messing around with. Take care of that First. That Blog will be there for a long time, You won’t be, if you aren’t really careful man.

I mean that man. Get Well, THEN BLOG!

On FISA

There is a great deal of outrage on the left and amongst many Constitutionalists and some Libertarians about this FISA bill being passed.

The way I look at it is, if Obama wins, he will go after those who broke the law.

I think that everyone needs to take a step back and look at the big picture here. If we stop one terrorist from attacking America, it will be worth it. However, I am fully aware of the corruption of this imperialistic Neo-Conservative Presidential Administration.

I take comfort in knowing that if Obama does win, as much as I despise his Politics, I believe there will be prosecutions handed out.

Senator Ted Kennedy returns to the Senate

Senator Ted Kennedy came in for a vote. Video is available Here and Here

Politically it was a brilliant move, to get the bill passed.

Glad to see that Senator Kennedy is doing well.

Even if he is a damn Liberal socialist. 😉 😛 😀

Uh Oh….. Jesse Done stepped in it!

D’oh!

Jesse Jackson just went in stepped into the doo doo…

He basically said he thought Obama was cutting his own (part of the male reproductive organ) off. By giving talks about morals. Yeah, He’d know, considering he had an affair and fathered a child, out of wedlock.

The Video:

Jesse Jackson issued this Statement:

“For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize,” Jackson said in a statement issued to CNN. “My support for Senator Obama’s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.”

“My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility,” Jackson also said.

“That was the context of my private conversation and it does not reflect any disparagement on my part for the historic event in which we are involved or my pride in Senator Barack Obama, who is leading it, whom I have supported by crisscrossing this nation in every level of media and audience from the beginning in absolute terms.”

Uh-huh, you’re just sorry you got caught.

His own son is quite perturbed:

I’m deeply outraged and disappointed in Reverend Jackson’s reckless statements about Senator Barack Obama. His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee — and I believe the next president of the United States — contradict his inspiring and courageous career. Instead of tearing others down, Barack Obama wants to build the country up and bring people together so that we can move forward, together — as one nation. The remarks like those uttered on Fox by Revered Jackson do not advance the campaign’s cause of building a more perfect Union. Revered Jackson is my dad and I’ll always love him. He should know how hard that I’ve worked for the last year and a half as a national co-chair of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. So, I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric. He should keep hope alive and any personal attacks and insults to himself. – Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL)

Wow…Just Wow…. The jokes just keep writing themselves.

But like Malkin said, It’s always we meanie Conservatives that make the horrible statements about Barry.
