Mumbai, the NYT's revisionism, and lessons not learned

The Times' Editorial Page blames the Bush administration for "blessing" the military coup against Hugo Chavez without mentioning that it did the same. Why does that matter?

    I agree very much with Lotus Feet; Greenie should get a holiday in Caracas for this turgid, illogical little piece.

    This meandering essay wonders from Mumbai to Venezuela, but all the stalin.com regulars, agree with him of course. They all nod in unison,

    Nod nod nod.

    This here saloon sure got a lot of that there DIE VERSITY, yep, nod nod nod.

    This Glen fellow, is not your typical "useful idiot" twit, he's also a genius. Only a card carrying member of Mensa could take his readers on such unique intellektual journey, which only fellow brilliant thinkers can follow.

    Just because these weird connections and puzzling conclusions may seem to make no common sense, or no logical sense, doesn't mean we're not breaking new air, no, new ground, around here.

    Yes, of course, it is India's fault this happened. Why wasn't the Indian PM down there in Venezuela to help welcome great Russian Navy and to make good bizness with great leader, Hugo, great new Bolivar leader, to smash, together, Amerikan Imperialzm, and capitaliztic oppressors with Walmarts selling hunting rifle to plain peoples and Coca Cola just exploiting workers of the world.

    Yes, why didn't Indians burn down their own stock exchange to show these lads they meant no harm, and pleaze to stop murdering innocent civilians all over da place, instead of running after them, and shooting back at them and really pissing them off? Only geniuses understand that shooting back is vile provocations, right? What does criminal shooting back say to a peace loving world, the libral-pwogwessive intellecktuals must wonder.

    Yes, it looks like more Bush dirty tricks, which only brilliant, Mensa Libralz can clearly see through, so I devote this poem to you, and to wonderful Comrad Celery:

    --------------------------------

    Coca Cola, go home, capitalist pigs

    Nebbermind Russian sailors on leave want Rum and Coke

    Nebbermind they want Marlboros to smoke

    We will lock them sailors in the brigs

    Great Ruskie people make friendship with Venezuela

    Nukes for oil and oil for nukes

    Let us hope Hugo The Great does not go whoops

    And accidentally blow up Sidney Greenwald in Australia

    How dare brave India count their many dead

    Make love not war

    What the hell are we fighting for?

    When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

    Why fight back, it's far better to be a potted fern

    Tonight just take a misguided terrorist to bed

    Just remember do not give Ali Baba a Marlboro in bed

    Unless you want Ali Baba to cut off your head
