Albright's joke joins growing list of Bush theories

Through 3Dem glasses

Bush has Osama bin Laden in the same White House closet Hillary used to hide her subpoenaed Rose Law Firm billing records.

The Saudis sent Bush a singing telegram prior to 911:

We want to give you a heads up that in a few hours
Nineteen jihadist aholes will fly into the towers.

Bush did not really have Thanksgiving in Baghdad--it was filmed at Fox's Washington, D.C. studios.

Dick Cheney died when Rod Steiger was said to have died, so that Rod Steiger could be made up to impersonate Dick Cheney.

Bush is not really having knee surgery. He is having biofeedback microprocessors installed so Carl Rove can control him.

"We'll always have Pyongyang."

Very nice, auto!!

I've heard a theory that Madeline Halfbright thought she was a Secretary of State.

[St.Chuck]

As devastating rejoinders commonly go: "oh" ranks somewhere midplace between "yo mama" and "I know you are, but what am I?"

"Oh" ranks exactly where I put it. If someone wants to infer that I'm an idiot by my comment on the psychology of conspiracy theories,"Oh" means I'm not too interested in having a discussion. "Oh" also means that I was unaware that the "wag-the-dog" tale is considered to be fact.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

"Oh" also means that I was unaware that the "wag-the-dog" tale is considered to be fact.

Your singular lack of awareness, in this regard, was plainly noted (and addressed) in my previous posting to you. I even steered you to the most recent (and best selling) writings on the matter, the better that you might more profitably educate yourself re: same.

Again, and finally: Clinton's craven dog-wagging -- in desperate attempt to exorcise names like "Monica Lewinski" and "Juanita Broaddrick" from the public consciousness -- is no "tale," or theory. It is concrete and verifiable fact.

You have been provided with the means requisite to verifying this for yourself, at your convenience. Whether you actually choose to do so -- or elect, instead, to base your beliefs on faulty and incomplete knowledge (or even no real knowledge at all) -- is your responsibility solely, at this point. You also have, likewise, every right in the world not to seek out the truth, should you prefer living without it.

However: the right to roll one's eyes and snort at someone bloviating in public fora, sans a decent amount of knowledge on their chosen topic, is no less an absolute or unassailable one, so far as that goes. Certainly, it's no less offensive, nor inherently more juvenile, than the single word "oh"... no matter how desperately one attempts tergiversating, after the fact.

[St.Chuck]

Certainly, it's no less offensive, nor inherently more juvenile, than the single word "oh".

I wasn't intending to be offensive, and I apologize if you were offended.

I'll take your recommendation of Rich Lowry's book under consideration. I must confess that the title, "Legacy: Paying the Price for the Clinton Years", doesn't evoke any anticipation of objectivity.

I have conceded, on your word, that the wag-the-dog stories are verifiably true. How about the Mena drug smuggling? How about the Vince Foster murder? The Ron Brown murder? Does Mr. Lowry also vouch for the veracity of these stories?

My minor point was that both political partisans create any number of far-fetched, or better yet, not so far-fetched stories to demonize their opponents in order to keep the party faithful indignant enough to motivate their continued participation and fund-giving. It's a fairly innocuous point and if I used a poor example to buttress it I apologize.

How awfully he has treated his body!!

[MeekOneGOP]

It's all that suppressed 'grief' he holds inside himself.

Massachusetts Democrat voter:

Oh, that poor Mr. Kennedy. I feel so sorry for him over that tragic event in 1969. How badly he must feel about that. I just can't NOT vote him yet again next election ...

[JimRed]

Some Democrats expressed alarm that the party was drifting out of the "mainstream."

Drifting? Ha! The Democrat Party leadership has been racing away from the mainstream all ahead full for years!

[potlatch]

LOL, I guess there are voters that really think like that!

As a Catholic, I can tell you that he does, or did at one time, have turmoil inside of him over his choices in life.

[MeekOneGOP]

You are probably right. I just can't sympathize with the likes of Kennedy. He showed no real remorse that I could tell. I mean, I look at his actions. He has for years played the Class Warfare game, lying to his constituents. And playing the Senate Obstruction game with Bush's judicial picks now.

Just recently, Bush I gave fat teddy an award, for heavens sake. I saw it as a good will gesture, an olive branch. So what happens next ? The following week, he's back to his old games, stabbing Bush II in the back.

He'll never change, and is just NO good, imho ...

[Pietro]

Mr. Reed said. "I also heard a rumor that aliens were coming down to Earth to occupy the bodies of three prominent Democrats, and it looks like it came true."

LOL

I heard a rumor that J Chirac is JF'ingK's foreign policy advisor, and it looks like that is true--how do we know?

[Thom Pain]

"...in the makeup room.."

You mean that's how she looks after makeup???!!!

[MarkL]

I've heard some interesting theories as well...

I've heard that Madeline Albright was a good Secretary of State... Well, that's been pretty well disproven...

I've heard that Howard Dean has sex with goats. Mind you, I don't really believe it, but that's an interesting theory that I've heard...

I've heard that Bill Clinton had a chance to take Bin Laden into custody, possibly preventing the September 11, 2001 attacks, but didn't do it... Oh, that's not a theory. That's a fact.

Kissinger is only half right; there are two things going on here, the (of course...) capture of Sadaam, and Democrat embarassment.

The former is crystal clear a damned good thing to have; in the latter, though, the Dims are and have been living in a continual self-embarassment from their opposition to the war, to George Bush, their continually-falling-on-their-faces by claiming a steady litany of failures - only to have those same "failures" be proven untrue shortly thereafter. Think of it; they should be embarassed and ashamed for their position, yet they are too full of pride and arrogance to admit it, cut their losses... and continue to try and pass that blame onto us.

The irony??? that if they were to change tack, admit they were wrong, I truly believe the American People would respect that more, and they might actually start back on the path towards becoming a party for America. But how can you, I or any American with a lick of common sense seriously expect that the party of our superiors (for that is what they believe themselves to be; superior to us and therefore "most qualified" to govern us since we can't do it ourselves...) will ever listen, much less care, about We, the Great Unwashed???

So simple, so childish their behaviour... the very self-blame that they must still feel somewhere in the recesses of their collective mind is instead passed onto others when their stupidity gets thrown back in their faces.

Many conservative pundits have steadily been proclaiming that the Rats have staked their political fortunes upon a perverse hope of failure by Bush and by our troops, as evidenced by their...

1) Waiting for the economy to tank;

2) calling it a failure in our international outreach that nations actively hostile to our policies haven't been coddled to enough; accepting those hostile nation policies as de facto guidance for how the US should behave...

3) and the worst crime of all, betting on failure in war in which said failure clearly can only mean more deaths from the same troops that "they support"... (insert my fist-clenched, pace-quickened, tight-lipped rage here)

But they haven't listened (typical elitist leftist arrogance...), and when it happens Again-And-Again, they continually refuse to remove their collective heads from their asses.

Truly, there are none so blind as those who will not see. Except for Zell Miller and those of like mettle, I say Damn the whole Lot of them!

I do agree with you Meek. Maybe he no longer has a conscience!
