Eric Shaun has better sources than Rita, all of them in New York. He probably knows some people at Air France out at JFK. HA!

This should be good--Combover and entourage getting stopped at the gate, then put in cuffs and led away....I can dream, can't I?

[angelwings49]

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood :)

[najida]

OK. That is seriously cool. Almost better than the Special Ops riding their horses in Afghanistan!

LOL! I bet Richard's place is fixed up real nice.

Umbagi: As for the BagCam, yes, Achmed did a nice job today. Even before I saw your post, I was thinking this was by far the finest morning we've seen thus far. Nice.

[boreddough]

I love the smell of freedom in the morning.

Abdulluh is a Hashemite. A descendant of Ali, Big Mo's nephew and the dude the Shias regard as their heroic leader.

The Hashemites were the guardians of Mecca and Medina until their eviction by the Saudis. The Brits, in their infinite wisdom, threw the very dry bone of Transjordan to them. We have uses for Abdulluh. Like perhaps the future king of Hejaz after we kick out those stinking Whahabbi punks out of Holy Town.

Mark me a cynic but we can pull Abdulluh's underwear over his head in private while publicly pimp slapping Syria.

I don't have anything substantive to add, just wanted to express awe at the wording of your "history in a nutshell."

[Catspaw]

But are they Special Sources? You know Rita has Special Sources.

[retrokitten]

That is creepy. Is there a word like "paranoid" only stronger?

[ztiworoh]

Can I get a link to the horse pic, ive never seen it

[Fledermaus]

Rita has too much special sauce!

[Dog]

Oh Greg Kelly said the palace he stayed in was decorated in 70's decor...:-)

Thank you both again. I'm blushing. There are so many friends here it's remarkable. FR is a great place, isn't it? During FOX prime time, I always fall far behind, but will catch up soon.

Jackie-O and all Lady FReepers, a little tip from the 'ball and chain'..........

Never let your man's mind wander-its too little to be out alone.

Dennis Prager on MSNBC/Scarborough.

[ztiworoh]

What;s that noise on the BagCam? More fighting?

[Catspaw]

Is there a word like "paranoid" only stronger?

Is "psychotic" too strong?

[turbocat]

Scarborough - good one - "as Dante once said the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in a time of crisis. If that is the case then by gosh Bush, Cheny and my man Rumsfeld have NOTHING to wory about " then peace to those in Baghdad" Whhoo Hooo.

[Spunky]

..they described Saddam;s houses as "Palacial Palaces". Isnt that a bit redundent? Like saying the "green greenery"

Yep! Placial Palaces is a bit redundent.

Quick definitions (Palace)
noun: official residence of an exalted person (as a sovereign)

Quick definitions (palatial)
) adjective: relating to or being a palace (Example: "The palatial residence")
