Krauthammer’s “If that fails to concentrate the mind” sounds like some bad dialogue from an old WWII Nazi movie. The creepiness of this Strangelovian beast is hard to comprehend, particularly when you consider that he is actually a medical doctor and a psychiatrist.

It has been noted before: Krauthammer has a solution for every problem, and it always involves some form of violence.

It is truly horrifying to contemplate the sickness which permeates the deepest recesses of his depraved psyche.

My apologies to Dr. Johnson.

For his stellar performance behing "MC Rove" this serious pundit should always be known as "Dancing" David Gregory.

What kills me is that the reporters keep falling for this administration’s lying leaks like Charlie Brown hoping to kick that football some day. This goes all the way back to the “Bushlicker” incident. I don’t understand why none of these reporters ever says, “Hey, here’s a story. This White House official lied to me. He name is xxxxx, and nobody should ever trust him again."

If you were to cut a wide “swatch” (I had one of those watches) among colonels in the United States military, you would be hard pressed to engage “with” one who is dumber than Col. Boylan.

Actually, I have a theory that some of the smartest guys in the military are colonels who do not get promoted above that rank because they lack the ability to conceal their exceptional intellect from their “superiors”:

For example, Col. Larry Wilkerson, Woodrow Wilson’s confidant Colonel House and essayist Col. Harry Summers (with whom I seldom agree, but I would never dispute his intelligence).

The LA Times, which used to be a pretty good newspaper, fired Robert Scheer for being prematurely sane about the war in Iraq, but it continues to employ Goldberg and world class war-wanker Max Boot.

Go Figure.

Fist of all, I keep reminding myself to send Glenn Greenwald a note telling him how thankful I am for the terrific "pro-American" work he does.

Thanks, Glenn.

Does Charlie Rose realize that his mos Youtubed moment is looking on dumbly (in both senses of the word) as Thomas Friedman delivered his notorious "suck on this" soliloquy?

The people who promoted this war should be in monasteries with shaved heads, wearing sackcloth and ashes.

The people who saw what a folly this war was back in 2002 should be rewarded with acclaim and visibility in the punditocracy.

How many more people must die for this country's inability to admit a mistake?

"And are we going to be such a feckless country, frankly, that we're going to waste the sacrifices that have been made?"

In logic, we call this the "sunk cost fallacy." For example, I have an old car which breaks down every other week. Should I continue to sink money into it or should I buy a new car? Whatever I decide to do, it's not going to get anyone killed.

These neocon clowns are so brazen with the lives of others.

To fight aloud is very brave

But gallanter I know

Who charge within the bosom

The cavalry of woe

--Emily Dickinson

What exactly is the JWR, and what are Mitch Albom, Nat Hentoff and Pat Sajak (???!!!) doing contributing to a site dominated by sick, sad right wing wackos like Kathleen Parker?

The "mindlessly establishment defending Brian Williams" laments that he has to compete with unprofessional bloggers like the notorious "Vinnie in his underwear." Meanwhile the erstwhile journalist Williams thinks they we should give a Pulitzer to Peggy Noonan even though, or perhaps because, Noonan was (breathlessly) for George W. Bush before she was against him.

And Noonan was also a paid agent for Enron while she was pretending to be a journalist. I will take Vinnie in his underwear (and all my other blogging heroes like Mr.Greenwald) over these clowns any day of the week.

Proportionality: So sending soldiers to kill and die in an act of petroleum piracy is a policy dispute which should not be criminalized.

But getting one's helmet buffed is beyond the pale.

This tells us all more about Broder than we ever wanted to know.

Here's what Shakespeare had to say about kings who send men to war for unjust reasons (Henry V, 4.1):

But if the cause be not good, the king himself hath

a heavy reckoning to make, when all those legs and

arms and heads, chopped off in battle, shall join

together at the latter day and cry all 'We died at

such a place;' some swearing, some crying for a

surgeon, some upon their wives left poor behind

them, some upon the debts they owe, some upon their

children rawly left. I am afeard there are few die

well that die in a battle; for how can they

charitably dispose of any thing, when blood is their

argument? Now, if these men do not die well, it

will be a black matter for the king that led them to

it; whom to disobey were against all proportion of

subjection.

*Obama sits for 20 years in a "hate whitey" church*

As Stephen Colbert (a Roman Catholic) demonstrated with more wit and humor than I could ever muster, Hannity and O'Reilly, who go on and on about Obama staying in Wright's church for twenty years, are still attending the Church of the Cross-Dressing Boy Rapists.

Has anyone been denied communion for supporting the Iraq War?

Last night Olbermann went after Katie Couric for claiming sexism was a factor in the presidential race. Maybe if Tweety had been on another network, Olbermann would have covered the castration anxiety the Hillary campaign evoked in Mathews (See Digby)

And Olbermann loves "Dancing Dave"
