New drinking game: Drink every time the media refers to Nancy Pelosi as 'Nancy'!
James Wolcott reports rumors that Bush is indeed drinking again.
Maru the Crankpot (WTF IS IT NOW?) links to this and many other funny posts (scroll up to see the post).
Glenn Greenwald: Cheney Administration is pathological, laughing as they shred the Constitution.
Soon to be former Congressman John Sweeney (R-Wife Beating and Drinking) in trouble again, this time for doctoring police records. Bye bye!
Professor Juan Cole at Informed Comment:
Bush went to Vietnam and boasted about how we would have won if we had not quit. This was, he said, the lesson for Iraq of the Vietnam War. He managed to be wrong about two wars at once and to anger both his hosts (how churlish!) and the Iraqi public. The American Right never admitted that they lost in Vietnam, thus the Rambo movies and, Melani McCallister argues, the US admiration for Entebbe. Iraq was their chance, they thought, to get it right. Bush had also said insulting things to the Philiippines about how wonderful it was that we had colonized them (and killed 400,000).
Colonialism is over with. When will they get that through their heads?
And actually we can't win in Iraq by just staying. Just like when you are sinking in quicksand, staying put is not a virtue.
Reminds me of the old joke about Bush. What's the difference between Iraq and Vietnam? Bush had a plan to get out of Vietnam. Who knew the plan was not to go until 2006 and to have Air Force One at the ready?
*yes! skippy coined that phrase!
