How do you know the Iraq Study Group report is dead? When on this evening's Fox News Watch conservative columnist Jim Pinkerton declares its "total evaporation" and the most aggressive liberal panelist doesn't bother to deny it.
Said Pinkerton:
"I think the most interesting thing has been the total evaporation of the Baker-Hamilton commission as a force in American politics. Of all people Laurence O'Donnell at the Huffington Post had a headline: 'Rush Limbaugh Is Right,' about the report, saying it is a formula for surrender. And whether you like it or not, Neal, Bush is not going to surrender Iraq."
View video here.
The "Neal" in question was of course leftist panelist Neal Gabler, and when his turn rolled around all he could say was that "as soon as [Pres. Bush] comes out with his policy, all the right-wing media are going to sign onto it and say how great this policy is."
Translation: ISG is deader than a smelt. We're moving on.
Finkelstein recently returned from Iraq. Contact him at mark@gunhill.net
Peace-out ISG ping to Today show list.
RIP ISP.
James, go back to the garden. Bush JR. has it well in hand.
You know about smelt???? I am impressed :)
Acknowledging that the left WANTS surrender in Iraq. And they're making no effort to hide that fact.
Oh yeah, the smelt. As dead as the parrot in A Fish Named Wanda.
Hey, wait a minute, we used to go down to the lake when the smelt were running and catch them in buckets. Then we smoked them. Some people even ate the things.
I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I hope at least a few have been watching Gingrich's FOX special "One Nation Under God." It is very good.
Good riddance. Take it out back and bury it.
Yes, but when you ate them, weren't they . . . dead?
Of course they were dead because the smelt like it.
When they started washing up dead on the beaches, it was pretty awful. But going down to the power plant where they would gravitate because the water was warm with the whole communtiy in my small town setting fires on the sand to smoke them is quite a memory.
Watching. I'm starting to think Newt can be better as an educator than an elected official.
It would have been a funnier headline if it said
CHING CHONG: ISG's Dead
Hmmmm...Putting aside the idea that I'd like to see the Dept. of Edu. dissolved, Secretary of Education? He could actually have major impact there.
Because?
Oh, thank you!!! What I've been trying to say for weeks!!!
