Great fun..but as far as our blasting Iraq to bits...Saddam had spent his money on palaces and let Iraq crumble.

One more question for Kerry;

Is it true that you rented that American flag lapel pin
for campaign use?

"Secretary Powell had to tell Kim Jung Il, Robert Mugabe, and Jacques Chirac to quit worrying and look at Bill Clinton and realize the fate that awaits them is a lucrative lecture tour, a best-selling book, and many willing, plump young women."

Plump young women. Ewwww... had a Monica moment.

You say I didn't have a plan for the post-war problem of Iraq? I say we blew the place to bits--what's the problem?

Love it!

P.J. sez...um, "I wrote this!" :)

PING to the newly-created REPUBLICAN PARTY REPTILE ping list, named after our spiritual founder, P.J. O'Rourke. What is the Republican Party Reptile? It is a creature of the eighties. It’s neoconservatism with its pants down around its ankles, the Rehnquist Supreme Court on drugs, a disco Hobbes living without shame or federally mandated safety regulations. The Republican Party Reptile supports a strong defense policy, but sees no reason to conduct it while sober. The RPR believes in minimum government interference in private affairs—unless the government brings over extra girls and some ice. In short, the RPR is the new label that our political spectrum has been crying out for—the conservative with a sense of humor and a healthy dose of depravity.

To be added or subtracted, just ask. :o)

The technical term for this in political science is "bullshit."

Awesome.

Excellent Article.

And in honor of P.J. I am going to reread Parliament of Whores this very evening.

My all time favorite P.J. quote:

"Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys." - P.J. O'Rourke
