Wallace is my Dumb A$$ Player of the Week.
Every week I'll post a new one, with the quote that earned them the Dumb A$$ award.
Wasn't that funny?
Howard Dean is such a.....(redacted).
I have little doubt now that Wallace is indeed on the dark side. He got the evil eye from Condi when she had to explain (for the 1,000th time) how the world is far better off with Sadaam gone.(Wallace looked like a fourth grader getting a lesson with the teacher inferring "why didn't you do your homework little chrissy) she did it in no uncertain terms and Wallace knew he had bitten off more than he could chew and was up against a superior force.
And when he accused her of taking cheney's place you could see the dagger she saves for special moments entering his heart as he quickly said "we are almost out of time", needing to get medical attention "real quick".
Wallace is now a has been as far as I am concerned.
Here is the fatal flaw in the dems thinking (if thinking is what you can call this). Imagine if we concentrated "all of our energies" on just this one thing...capturing bin Ladin. Think about the monumental stupidity of that statement.
But the really critical fallacy that he, and all of the rest of the dems fall into, is that, in their view, we are only allowed to go after a group that successfully pulls off a huge attack right here in this country. It's hands off all the rest, no matter what we know or suspect they are planning and plotting. It's their equivalent of the "global test".
That's why we hear the constant drumbeat that Iraq was not tied to 9/11 and wasn't even helping al Qaeda (which is false). That point is apropos of nothing. It's irrelevant, unless they actually mean that we cannot react against any group or nation unless and until we take a hit right here, and then only actions against that PARTICULAR group or that PARTICULAR nation will be allowed. The dems would fight a very limited war on terror indeed.
And, while I'm on my soapbox here, I never want to hear that stupid question "Are we safe" ever again. We are not a nation of kindergarten children. I want the President and the government to DEFEND this country, not wrap it in cotton. Go out there and smash the bad guys until they are dead or cry uncle. If there is peril in that, I am more than willing to accept it. God bless our military and the President of the United States of America.
You really want your blood to boil, read today's CNN RELIABLE SOURCES transcript here:

Howie Kurtz is in full bash Bush mode, along with his guests, Linda Douglas, David Gergen, Bill Press, and Bill Cohen. The only thing that kept RS from being a full anti-Bush hour, was the time they had to spend on Katie Curok's debut where, "Rush fell flat" by the way.
Re post 852, it depends on what you mean by "served" when you speak of Kerry serving in VN. Dubya passed around a big tray of turkey in Bagdad, but it was the show bird and not for eating, and it was in the Green Zone or other safe space, he didn't walk down the Main Street of Bagdad like moron Peanut Farmer Jimmuh on the below zero Inauguration day begging for someone to zero in on him, etc. So the DBM said Dubya didn't do jack except set up a photo-op. So maybe Kerry "served" and maybe he didn't. He was in Cambodia for Christmas so it is doubtful that he had any turkey, except the one in the mirror...
The Clinton/DNC/Al Qaeda talking points on this to defend mad Maddy is that SHE never told the Pakistanis, but some "evil" US military type did.
I guess your summary of what was presented pretty much trashes that defense. Do you suppose that will get mentioned by the DBM?
Not if we don't bomb them with the fact, it won't.
My favorite part, Brit, Mara, Bill and Juan. Pass the popcorn.
I'll second that, and I will look forward to this delightful weekly feature.
Juan, Juan, Juan. You don't know what most Americans think, you just think we all think like you. Please!
I like Brit's haircut.
dagnabbit!
doing some important witnessing right now... missed it...
what did Juan do now?
Did you catch the book, Brit mentioned?
what an ass...
not only are we aware....but the terrorist are not running around UNservalienced, and UNwatched, and UNknown, and UNchallenged.... as opposed to UN (United Nations) servalienced, UN watched, and UN known, and UN ABETTED!
