That was some Thursday night! Two freak shows in one four hour period.
First up was Michael Jackson, very, very disturbing. If you were fortunate enough to miss it you can read what you missed on Hillary's Lovely Legs Live Michael Jackson thread.
Then later on Larry King Alive we were treated to the other king o' the freaks, William Jefferson Clinton. Read the transcript here.
As usual it was all about him. Me, me, me, I, I, I. Particularly amusing was this quote concerning North Korea:
We had a tough time with them, but we got them to end that program and they kept it ended until apparently today they started again.
Uh no bill, they never shut down their nuke program you unbelievably stupid worm.
Here's one about The Liebary that went right over stupid's head:
KING: We have a little advance here to show you. Kind of a virtual tour, a quick virtual tour of what will be the William Jefferson Clinton Library. Watch.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CLINTON: Our of Democracy must be not only the envy of the world, but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
A leader who guided America through a period of great transition. This presidency will forever be captured at the 12th presidential library. The William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Center and Park.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KING: Kind of cooky.
CLINTON: That's easy. That's my DVD. [Whoooosh! Didn't catch that kind of cooky (should be spelled kooky ya stupid CNN kooks!)comment eh bill? Bill was too busy being proud of himself.]
KING: Where's it going to be?
CLINTON: In Little Rock. Right on the Arkansas River.
A night of freaks, that's what Thursday night was!
Good Morning!
I really hate to tear myself away from you all, I know there will be mucho fun happenin' here but I must go to the store and get some food to cook up for my FIL. But nothing, absolutely nothing will keep me away for long. Back very soon! :-)
One of the most disturbing things about MJ last night was how he had the NAMBLA mantra down pat. The scariest part was he said these things like it was the way life should be. *shiver!*
The superstar's business methods were unusual. "At one point there was a witch doctor involved," McGonigle said. "Michael brought in this voodoo guy to provide financial advice. There was a falling out and the witch doctor put a hex on Michael until he got paid." Jackson might be reluctant to pay Kelly because - despite his claims in the documentary last night on ABC that he is a billionaire - others say he is heavily in debt.

McCain gets in a few zingers at the Washington Press Club dinner:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) lamented that he's a victim of identity theft by the "gang of six" Dem wannabes trying to pass themselves off as him. McCain cited "Joey 'Lightfingers' Lieberman." Then he went after Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who was revealed to have Jewish grandparents. Quoth McCain: "John, have you no shame? I know this is a key Democratic constituency, but what chutzpah . . . Oh, and did I mention that the name McCain was originally Moscowitz?" McCain said that movie stars' comments about Iraq made him think that "Hollywood is a Washington for the simple-minded."
Mr Clinton talked about the importance of raising awareness of global warming.
He added: "The new energy future is decentralised, entrepreneurial and needs people like you to say, 'Give me a clean car, give me solar shingles to put on my roof, give me a clean future'." full story
With all those "give me" references, I'm surprised he didn't segue into "Gimme Shelter," though I'm betting his personal favorite is "Brown Sugar."
Rumsfeld was due to address an annual security conference in the southern German city of Munich on Saturday and was expected to argue that allowing more time for weapons inspections in Iraq makes sense only if Iraq cooperates with the United Nations.
Mass protests are planned in Munich on Friday and at the weekend against the security conference, Rumsfeld's visit and the threat of war in the Gulf, with police warning of possible violence. Some 3,500 officers are on duty to try keep the peace.
Rumsfeld's comments on Wednesday putting Germany in the same category as Libya and Cuba as states that would not be helpful in any international effort to overthrow Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein have infuriated many, putting new pressure on already strained transatlantic ties.
Gimme a clean refrigerator! (self-cleaning, please)
Times of London reporting that his relations in America (Iraq dissidents) have appealed to President Bush and Amnesty International to investigate the incident.
Quote:
Hans Blix, the chief UN inspector, appeared flummoxed when questioned about the case this week but said that he would consider raising it in his talks tomorrow in Baghdad."More elegant ways"....WHY do we even listen to these black hearted idiots.He said the inspectors did not know the identity of the man pulled from the vehicle and were awaiting a report on the incident from the Iraqi authorities. The UN has not taken any other steps to ascertain whether the man might have been an Iraqi scientist or otherwise in possession of information he wanted to share with inspectors about Iraq’s secret weapons programmes.
“I’ve just talked to our security chief in Baghdad . . . and he said there was nothing in the booklet he seemed to be carrying,” Dr Blix said. He added that Iraqi scientists could find “more elegant ways” of approaching UN inspectors.
Yikes! As my dear departed Daddy used to say, "She looks like she's been rode hard and put up wet!"
How about they get it their own damn selves!
