BREAKING NEWS: Pelosi’s Pants Still Burning!

May 14, 2009

Now San Fran Nan is accusing the CIA of lying in their official memos about what and when she was told about waterboarding.

This has been a lot of fun but, seriously, it’s time to just admit the truth, Nan.

The truth is that you’re still a filthy, rotten, stinking liar. And maybe even smelly, too!

The truth is that you were told the Administration had legal opinions validating the use of waterboarding, that waterboarding had been used, and that it might be used again. The truth is that in a post-9/11 mindset, it was politically expedient for you to be hawkish and act really butch when it came to the interrogation of terrorists. The truth is that you said nothing and did nothing to denounce or prevent the use of waterboarding (i.e., it was just fine with you). The truth is that California rep Jane Harmon spoke to you about writing a letter denouncing waterboarding and you refused to sign it. The truth is that the politics changed and suddenly it became politically expedient to loudly decry the interrogation techniques that the former VP claims saved thousands of lives. The truth is that you are a liar and that it is not a seven-year-old memo but rather you, the Speaker of the House, who is lying to Congress and the American people every time you open your mouth about this subject.

Nan, you may think that you are somehow fighting the good fight and acting as a real profile in courage, but the truth of the matter is that you’re just a liar of the worst kind. In the Democrat Culture of Corruption, you are the cherry on top of the crap sundae.


The Detainee Abuse Photos

May 14, 2009

Well, St. Barry has flipped on the issue of releasing photos of detainee abuses. He now says that he “will fight” the release.

This isn’t all that complex. The President can issue an executive order blocking the release of the photos, and he should do so immediately. Saying only that he “opposes” the release and will seek a court order in order to prevent the release from happening is nothing more than buying himself time to change his mind yet again if the Left base puts enough pressure on him. If he fails to get the court order and the photos are released, he can then say that it was against his wishes. It’s all hogwash. St. Barry can end this today with an executive order.

Whatever his reasons for changing his mind, he is now saying the right thing, that the release of these photos will endanger American lives. He’ll get my full-throated “atta boy” only if he actually does the right thing, though.


The Tincture Of Lawlessness

In today’s Washington Post, George Will delivers the goods and is not afraid to use D.C.’s version of the “C-word” when describing the current administration.

Corruption.

To Protect, Serve, and Cash In

May 13, 2009

The most overpaid people in America? Maybe the world?

What makes it worse, of course, is the fact that the best and brightest don’t stand a chance of making it onto this police force unless they are also heavily connected to local pols or highly-placed people who are already on the force.

I don’t begrudge any policeman from making a good wage, but when some of these people are pulling hundreds of thousands of dollars (supplied by you, the taxpayer) for doing little more than issuing speeding tickets and taking the beer away from high school students, then something is amiss.
