INCOMING!!!

[MrB]

There was a nice refutation of this in the WSJ Op-ed section last week.

Basically, the director of the NYPhil equated the brutal dictatorial regimes of NK and Mao’s China with the United States.

[Piquaboy]

She looks like death riding a skateboard.

[Brilliant]

I am surprise that Helen would say anything that might be interpreted as praise for the Bush Administration.

She’s slipping.

[milwguy]

I am sure the ‘musical’ sound of rifles was pleasant to the 12 peasants executed this week in North Korea for the ‘crime’ of trying to escape to China to get food for their starving families.

Music Eases Diplomacy--NY Philharmonic Performance In North Korea Is Breakthrough"

So was Roger Clinton's performance in NK.

“But then President Bush is no Eisenhower. “

No more than you, Helen, are a reporter.......

[Melchior]

All the symphonic, ballet and chamber music exchanges did not change the Cold War one whit. It did, however, make the New York liberals feel better and convinced them that detente (Kissinger-Nixon’s failed policy, adopted by Teddy Kennedy and his ratpack) was working.

[trisham]

She’s senile.

[LachlanMinnesota]

Music is a breakthrough which is followed by nothing except the feeling that maybe something good came of it is some sort of theoretical sense.

[reagan_fanatic]

Cue Stevie Wonder: "Isn't she lovely! Isn't she beautiful!"

[bboop]

Helen, the brain-fog is thickening. Save yourself more public shame and GO AWAY. Hitler loved music too.

“I think it’s going to do a great deal for Korean-U.S relations. We may have been instrumental in opening a little door.”

Music is the universal language.

George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” instead of his “An American in Paris.” But it was a transforming event.


so many cliches......

[manc]

thanks

I was about to have breakfast, even my mother in law does not look that bad

Right off to take the dog now instead of eating

[Zeppo]

Music is the universal language.

Bzzzzt... Wrong answer, Helen-of-get-a-clue... Among our enemies, state-initiated mass murder is the universal language. They count on useful idiots like you to support them in their efforts...

[VeniVidiVici]

And let us hope that the next president will know that the United States cannot call all the shots, or pick and choose which leader-dictator we will talk to or decide which countries can have unconventional weapons.

The money quote from the Queen of the Left. The Democrats won't be happy until all corrupt regimes have nuclear weapons. After all, it's only fair!

[Londo Molari]

Helen, do you think they piped the music into the gulags for the political prisoners & their families could enjoy it?

[silverleaf]

Oh My eyes!

It’s nice to know that in the uber-liberal world of change ahead of us, President Obama will not use the “formidable power” of the US to decide which dictators can have “unconventional” (nuclear, BIOLOGICAL and chemical) weapons.

We’ll leave that “formidable diplomatic power” up to the UN.

Who’s the UN Human Rights Committee Chair next year? Robert Mubage? Raoul Castro? Hugo Chavez?

For surely if the KN’s and Iranians and Syrians play around with, say, smallpox or aerosolized anthrax, they will never use it against US if President Obama just talks to them for a change. And if they use it against Israel- well- maybe they have the right because didn’t Israel kill Rachel Corrie and other innocent Palestinian children playing on bomb dumps in cold blood?

Barrrrffffff

[starlifter]

My God, she is an idiot.
