It is not a happy mood in the Oval Office.
Poppy is sobbing, his face in his hands, slumped in one of the yellow-and-blue striped chairs. Laura is screaming the words “Oscar de la Renta” and “rendition” into her cellphone, still seeing red after showing up at a White House gala in the same $8,400 red gown as three other women who did not happen to be first lady.
Bob Gates is grim-faced, but not as grim-faced as Barbara, whose look could freeze not only the Potomac but the Tigris and the Euphrates. Scowcroft is over on the couch, trying to nap while Kissinger drones softly in his ear.
And, of course, there is the Deprogrammer for the Decider, James Baker, perfectly suited in bright green tie and suited perfectly for his spot behind the president’s desk.
The Council of Elders had hoped this Apocalypto moment wouldn’t be necessary. They had assumed that the scorching Iraq Study Group report would have the same effect on Junior as the bucket of cold water that Mr. Baker’s strict father, a lawyer known as “the Warden,” used to throw on his face to wake him up as a boy.
But Junior is trying to wriggle away completely, offering a decidedly cool response to the attempt to yank him into the reality-based community. He rallied his last two allies — his English poodle and his Scottish terrier, Blair and Barney.
He is loath to give up his gunslinger pose to go all diplo. He cleaves to the neocon complaint that it is the realists who are now being unrealistic, thinking the administration can bargain with Syria and Iran, or that the Army can train Iraqi security forces (or, as they are known there, death squads)...

Case closed. Insulting people you disagree with has become the new liberal answer to rational debate.
What is this? Her Christmas story? LOL
It seems like libs cast insults about things they would find insulting. Something tells me Mrs. Bush does not care about wearing the same dress. To a vapid lib, where form vastly outweighs function, they cry foul. Clothing is to cover naughty bits, otherwise you paid too much.
a shrill bitch preaching godlessness from a cloud.
Just substitute Pinch for Poppy, sitting and sobbing as his empire crumbles, Maureen herself screaming into a cell phone "Mike, damn you, why did you leave me for that strumpet with the funny accent" and so on.
The NY Times in meltdown.
She must be. I've been laughing at her for years.
MoDo produces pure, unadulterated venom. I don't care who it's directed at, venom is not amusing. It's just venom.
She's a venomous skank. Now I must go shower.
Her supreme wit is obviously doing wonders for the NY Time's bottom line

$IGN OF THE TIMES: THIS TOWER 'FOR RENT' (NYT can't afford their new building!)
And this is more likely to be th reason she 'scares off' men, not her 'success'.
Mo's turning 55 years OLD next month. The dementia will only get worse.
You know the rules!
what is the fascination with this overpaid under-intelligent vapid cee you next tuesday...she has no writing prowess and couldn't hold Ann Coulter's pen!!!!

It speaks volumes about the MSM that this toad can still keep a paycheck....
With the pleasantries out of the way, you know the rules. Two refreshes and no CZJ. Sheesh.

I lay it all at Pinch's efforts. The NYT was founded and supported by a family with near genius IQs. Alas, Pinch proves regression to the mean does occur.
The big problem for the NYT is the two tier stock ownership permits lesser, dim bulbs such as Pinch to run things. Imagine, his idea of an open meeting with staff is when he brings in a moose doll. Supposedly, this means you can talk about the moose in the room. Get it? Some of the really smart people there must have hard time not laughing.

Meaning the already debunked "Iraq report" which reads like a laundry list from a State of the Union Address.
"These are the things we would like to do if only...."
Her verbal gymnastics, which some may find amusing, aren't sufficient to cover the absence of any policy commentary, nor her shrewishness.
