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?

    Double standards -- look look, the hypocrite Glen, like all good libal-pwogwessives, practices selective outrage,

    They could smear Paul Wolfowitz, and help drive him out of the utterly corrupt World Bank, which he was trying to clean up, trying to make alla dose overpaid bureaucrats actually take responsibility for all the "loans" (free money) ending up in the hands of corrupt government elites.

    Why did they smear him? Well, this unmarried guy had the temerity to have a girlfriend who worked at the World Bank. This American Jew was enjoying a real loving relationship with an Egyptian woman who did not work directly for him. The NYT helped to hound him out of there, and not a peep from stalin.com.

    And, when Clinton was revealed to not be having real affairs of the heart, but the kind of abusive sexual demands we passed so many laws to prevent, we also heard not a peep from Glen Greenberg and the NYT, who defended Bubba to the max. So, Glen and all you good libral-pwogwessive twits found no problem with Billy Clinton's predatory behavior toward women, but Paul Wolfowitz had to go, right?

    Yup, dat's right, my frems!

    And why did Paul W bodder you guyz so?

    Well, he is one of them there ebil neocons, that's what he is.

    He does not sing from the pee cee hymnal. No kumbaya for him, just hard headed facts and demands for accountability and actual results that work.

    Now the NYT is trying to do the same kind of smear job on Vaclav Klaus, the Czech President, and, again, not a peep from Gelding Glenn or Phony Joanie. Well, Klaus thinks much of this manmade global warming stuff is a sham, and dat puts a target over his heart in libral circles.

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

    Also, embedded in this rubbish about unlearned lessons, thee's the utter kluelessness and denial of the libral-pwogwessive mind when it comes to dealing effectively with the terrorist scum who feel so entitled to indiscriminately murder innocent civilians.

    Don't you remember the lovely of Danny Pearl who was forced to say "I am a Jew," and his screams of agony, just as his head was being chopped from his torso?

    Why can't you people grow up, for crying out loud?

    This is the real reason why "liberal" has become a dirty word among so many voters. You guys are utter Ostriches when it comes to how to effectively counter criminals, thugs, bullies, rogue states and terrorist networks.

    You are utterly KLUELESS,

    You know it too, but how to square your gooey libral philosophy with the hard headed truths of power, consequences, merit and responsibility?
