Sen John Warner impersonates Neville Chamberlain - "I have the paper here - peace in out time"

[ken5050]

Watching a rerun of the press conference of the gang of 14, did you all catch the very beginning? Sen Warner was first up on the podium, waving a piece of paper, and giggling.."I have the document right here" I was immediately reminded of Brit PM Neville Chamberlain, returning from the Munich conference, after selling out Czekoslovokia..holding a piece of of paper in his hand..and declaring "Peace in our time"

Well, we all know how that turned out...Failure to confront your enemy from a position of strength..it ends up costing you big time later on. And for Warner to gush over "Sheets"..the KKK leader, the man who used the term "white ni**er" on television..the same Warner who threw Lott over the side....well, Chamberlain told us that he could work with Herr Hitler, remember..

Lord Acton, once again, is proven correct...

FYI..and good night..

please correct "pape" ..it should be "paper"..my bad...

At least my fine Senator is again expressing his revererence toward the divine notion of Senatorial comity. And isn't that the most important thing? /sarc

[Darkwolf]

All you needed was your headline--perfect.

I always get John Warner confused with the dead guy Teresa Heinz married. The first corpse-looking figure, I mean, not Kerry.

Wasn't Warner married to Liz Taylor before she married Michael Jackson.

"...here is the paper"(click to listen)

Great analogy.

Its like watching Lucy play football with Charlie Brown, over and over again. He always trusts her to hold the ball, and that trust lands him flat on his back.

I was SO hoping we weren't going to cave this time.

Will we ever learn, do you think?

[MrsEmmaPeel]

I missed the TV news last night, so I did not see the video of Warner. I LOVE your analysis, BTW. Warner-Chamberlain, how apt. What a bunch of wussies!

[jsbankston]

Neville Chamberlain was a member of the Conservative Party as is Warner.

You know your insight here is brilliant, because the parallel works even if we aren't prepared to stoop to the Dems level of actually comparing political opponents to Nazis. Here's why: Chamberlain is the very emblem of the folly of appeasement. Politics is war by other means. In the war of politics, appeasement of an aggressive opponent is no less folly than in wars of blood and steel. The Dems can be counted on to always push the advantage and, like Hitler (remember I'm not actually comparing here), they see each retreat by their opponent as proof that aggression works. So be prepared for more of the same. The only difference is, we took a 15-yard penalty for nothing.

excellent work putting up the juxtaposed pics. Thanks
