In U.S. Success, Anti-War Faction's Worst Fears Realized

Newhouse News Service ^ | Nov 14, 2001 | JAMES LILEKS

[Richard Kimball]

Could be worse. Could be "Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree." Sorry, is that stuck in your head now?

Oh, well, just one more thing: "Me and you and a dog named Boo." Take care.

[Yankee]

Oh Yes! Achmed bin-Cartney, I know him well.

I've got all his albums.

Even with his first group, The Beat-them.

[Cyber Liberty]

You'll fry for that, for sure Dr. Kimball....

[Cyber Liberty]

Bump?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I don't believe Clinton really said this, did he ?

[GreenLanternCorps]

Screw the One Armed Man, we now know that Richard Kimball is guilty of crimes aginst humanity...

Me and You and a Dog Named Boo Indeed!

[dredhawk]

Where can i get the CD.

[Cyber Liberty]

Clinton said the things quoted in the article, yes. At a Georgetown speech.

[Physicist]

Jim Lileks is a national treasure. If you want the best laugh you've had in years, buy his book, The Gallery of Regrettable Food:

Several times during the reading of this book, I laughed so hard that I was literally in tears.

[Elihu Burritt]

He should have said Mr. Buff and his gal Daisy Cutter!

Except they never go together, at least not 'arm in arm' so to speak. Daisy is a big girl, and even Mr Buff can't handle her.

[Physicist]

This writer is a gifted fellow. I had not seen his work before.

Check out www.lileks.com for his humor writings. The Institute of Official Cheer is one of the best things on the internet.

[Yankee]

I know. Her man is really "Hercules".

But the guy was on a roll.

"Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"---"Bluto" Blutarski "Animal House".

[ThomasMore]

Chomsky

Sounds like toe jam. This guy's a real ditz.

[ThomasMore]

..was this Clintoon's narcissistic gas-leak.

[general_re]

Ohhh, James Lileks - I gotta bump this, and mention the Gallery of Regrettable Food ;)

[aculeus]

Noam Chomsky, our own little Quisling, popped up in India to denounce the United States and describe the attacks on Afghanistan as "a bigger terrorist act than what happened on Sept. 11."

Noam Quisling. I like that!

[aculeus]

"Look, teacher, the birds are on fire"
A New York schoolgirl, upon seeing burning people jumping from WTC on 9-11.

Cited by Christopher Hitchens in the current Vanity Fair.

[driftless]

Chomsky has conned millions of gullible Americans into believing that he the wisest person in the world. As Lileks points out, if the U.S. was as evil as Comrade Chomsky says it is, shouldn't he have been dead long ago?

[Billthedrill]

Great catch. A Freedom BTT.

Be prepared to have the Chorus of Fools arise once more to tell us that every time a birdie drops from its nest in Afghanistan it's our fault for booting the kindly ol' Taliban. I can hear them tuning up now.

[SlightOfTongue]

Bill Clinton made a much-criticized speech at Georgetown, and was slammed for suggesting that America deserved what it got on 9/11.

Sad fact in all this is that America never deserved having him as president - at least not the reasonable and normal people of America. The liberals/demonrats deserved him and now deserve to wear his legacy around their necks like the albatross he had become to Al Gore.
