Michelle is our belle!!!!

If Bush declared the Constitution null and void, and ordered Soviet-style central planning, you would be on the forefront of the parade cheering it on.

It's not often that you see someone reduce their own argument to an absurdity.

Bump for some very nice pics of one of our best reporters/thinkers.

While I love Malkin and her writings, she is off the deep end on this one. She writes...

"Continuing:

Besides, the notion that the Bush Administration is farming out port "security" to hostile Arab nations is alarmist nonsense. Dubai Ports World would be managing the commercial activities of these U.S. ports, not securing them. There's a difference. Port security falls to Coast Guard and U.S. Customs officials. "Nothing changes with respect to security under the contract," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said yesterday. "The Coast Guard is in charge of security, not the corporation."

Missing. The. Point. The issue is not whether day-to-day, on-the-ground conditions at the ports would change. They presumably wouldn't. The issues are whether we should grant the demonstrably unreliable UAE access to sensitive information and management plans about our key U.S ports, which are plenty insecure enough without adding new risks, and whether the decision process was thorough and free from conflicts of interest."

The security won't change a bit as the operator of the port is not responsible for security, the United States is responsible. Secondly, if the UAE company has purchased the British company who runs the port, would they not already have that information whether we let them run the port or not?? They now own all the information that the British company has on our ports even if we disqualify them from running the port....Michelle needs to bring her normally stunning logic back into the process. She's had a few knee jerk reactions lately and that's not what a Conservative does.

These hypocrites are so evil they find loopholes in their own religion...

Too bad they can't find loopholes to the parts that say "thou shalt kill all the infidels". Of course, there's no money in that...

[Lazamataz]

My argument is that Dane would cheer any action by Bush -- ANY action -- and that is an irrefutable position on my part.

[inquest]

that is an irrefutable position on my part.

On my part, too. And he backs it up with the most dimwitted logic one could possibly come up with.

[Clemenza]

The Goddess Michelle is clutching at straws here.

Then again, I only come to her threads for the pictures. ;-)

Uh or Duh, they just said,on channel 2 news in L.A., the Whitehouse knew nothing about the port deal.

[philetus]

(CBS) WASHINGTON If there is one thing Congressional leaders and the White House can agree on, it is that neither knew the port deal with a United Arab Emirates company was even in the works, reports CBS News political analyst Gloria Borger.

ROFL!

That is great!

The Goddess Michelle is clutching at straws here.

...not the first time she's done that.

She misrepresented those comercials that Armstrong Williams did and she hypocritically went over the top with her criticism about the First Lady and the "Horse Joke".

[Dane]

How many Islamic terrorists have you killed?

None nor do I make claims that I can from writing behind a keyboard(ala michelle malkin).
