when he whined, "they serve at the pleasure of the president."

He's all surface.

I'm having a lot of trouble understanding Todd.

took the words right out of my mouth.

That many of you are probably clinically insane, don't you?

Whacked.

He proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Pelosi knew & approved of torture & knew & approved of illegal wiretaps. She went dry mouth, almost unable to speak, nervous.

Somewhere back in one of these interminable (and Whacked) threads I believe someone theorized that Obama was fighting the torture doc release & wiretap lawsuits because allowing them would prove that EVERYONE on both sides of the aisle knew & approved of all Bush crap. Went along, blah blah blah. DoJ, NSA, CIA, FBI... you name it. EVERYBODY went crazy nasty bad after 9-11. And we can't have that.

In fact, I'll bet he studied him back in the late '80s, early '90s.

You're saying, 3 weeks in, BO has jumped the shark?

...says Cohen will be on 'Morning Joe' tomorrow.

Click my sig for proof.

I want blood on the floor.

As for Panetta, I've never warmed to him but the fact that his nomination brings this: "Rockefeller "thinks very highly of Panetta," the aide said. "But he's puzzled by the selection."

Anything that puzzles Rockefeller is gold to me.

This thread.

... in 'Exodus' swears towards the end that "Jews and Arabs will live together and share the land in peace"... it wouldn't surprise me to find that much of the emotional & cultural identification of a lot of Americans stems from this movie.

... but have you seen my Looking Glass ?

I was watching Obama's talk just now on CNN about his plans on Education. He prefaced it by addressing the pig lipstick broohaha. After about 5 minutes CNN cut feed to say they would come back if he had anything more to say about the Lipstick on a pig controversy. I had really been enjoying his talk on Education so I switched to MSNBC & watched approximately 10 seconds of his talk & they went back to the studio to say they would come back if he had anything more to say about the Lipstick on a pig controversy.

Achille's Heel.

"Is that Michael Mukasey you have in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

Stunning.

Took me straight back in time to the point when my then landlord called me a terrorist sympathizer because I kept arguing with him about the invasion.

I always loved Jeff Cohen. The funny thing is that the Fox show, Media Watch, was the only decent show Fox ever had. And Jeff saying he'd have been better off staying there instead of going to MSNBC is sadly hilarious.

Anyway, thanks Glenn, for doing this.

2 more segments just now on the Clintons' incredible wealth.

... a little over a half hour ago, Alex Witt on MSNBC, did breathless back to back segments with 2 'guests' about CLINTON WEALTH ! ! !

was that a shindig like this would absolutely bankrupt me.

...because I'm fascinated by the continuing subtle tinting of his hair. I think by the end of March it will be totally brown.

I can't find my guillotine.

Sure a lot of retreating going on in the Senate.

I happened to be watching the tube when Barbara Starr on CNN broke this news from the Pentagon with her typically stolid, breathless style of propaganda. When Barbara Starr reports I know without doubt it is an utter lie.

This thread lives.

I'd be praying that he kill this thread.

... the Carlos Castaneda letter/thread was ever closed. That was some fascinating shit.

"I spoke with some of those staffers on the day I first wrote about Klein's article. They were livid about the flatly false characterizations from Klein about their bill. I tried to get them to issue statements, and they didn't seem to want to (which I found both annoying and revealing - why shouldn't they protest publicly after being smeared like that??), but some did suggest they would contact Klein. I have no idea if they did."

Flip the coin & do you think for a second that Republican staffers would even hesitate?

Unbelievable !!

... it seems like the good old days.

Brilliant ! ! !

Heh

"I'm saying that when America was "the Great Satan" to the Iranians, nothing America had to say could be heard by them." --- malamiyya

I didn't even bother reading after that line. I think Glenn is exhibiting great restraint and patience with your 'stuff' (when he's not being pretty fucking funny).

..."That oped may in retrospect have been somewhat too optimistic; I was wrong then myself in believing..."

If even the incandescently brilliant M.O'Hanlon can occasionally be wrong, so too can Patreaus, and stuff.

sick to my stomach.

To all the letter writers who suggested bands. I spent a guilty day (getting much less accomplished than I should have) yesterday with my headphones glued to my head going from one YouTube video to another. What a blast ! ! !

Thanks Again ! ! !

this is simply Bush's attempt to streamline government. Make it more efficient. He's thinking, "Why go to all the trouble when I'm just going to end up pardoning everybody?"

...that comment thread was mostly an early '90s AOL chatroom. Really pathetic.

Rocks ! ! !

Good job, Glenn.

Deliciously wicked post... One of your best.

But not nearly long enough.

; )

" it was difficult to avert my eyes, hold my nose or swallow my outrage."

Shouldn't that be "AND swallow my outrage."

???

...everytime he's on Washington Journal I can't change the channel. It's his goggle-eyed, breathless stuttering - much as I'd like to I can't turn away.

Somebody set up us the bomb...

How are you gentlemen?

All your base are belong to us.

You are on the way to destruction.

You have no chance to survive make your time.

HA HA HA

I just think he needs some serious therapy.
