The Tattlesnake — Might As Well Quit Mitt and Other BS Edition

Filed under: Commentary,Opinion,Uncategorized — RS Janes @ 2:25 pm

– If you caught Mitt Romney’s wincing performance on Meet the Depressed Sunday, Dec. 16th, then you already know — the Mormon-with-one-M ‘Bidnessman’ with his ‘two-part answers’ is the Republican John Kerry and politically DOA; the only thing missing on Timmy Russert’s throw-down was a shovel and gas mask. The mental Mitt-jit didn’t just flip-flop, he rolled in circles like a roulette wheel of hypocrisy; whatever slot the ball happened to land in this time around was the winner, whether it be abortion rights, stem cell research, gun control or what have you. A rough sample of Romney rant: Doctors should be subject to maybe, possibly losing their license to practice medicine if caught doing abortions — from a guy who thinks it’s murder? Stem cell research? Let me be as opaquely clear as I can — if I talk long enough perhaps they’ll find a cure and it’ll all just go away. Guns? I was agin ‘em before I decided to run for president and signed up for my lifetime membership in the NRA. By the way, did I remind you I really hate Hillary? Democrats have a lot more tolerance for this kind of head-slapping horseradish than hide-bound Republican conservatives. Like his nor’east Blue State pal Rudy the week before, the slick Magic Underwear catalog model just babbled his way out of the nomination, piles of cash and Bush family backing notwithstanding. It’s too bad — Romney would have been easy to beat in the general election.– The Big Story (BS) last week was the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report that put the kibosh on Bush’s Iran War fever-dream by stating that Iran had cancelled its program to develop nuclear weapons in 2003. America’s Big Media (BM) reported that BS, but completely missed the deeper implications of this report, a finding that was signed off on by all of the US government’s 16 major intelligence-gathering outfits: It represents the final refutation of, and rebellion against, the Bush Administration, and particularly chickenhawk intel cherry-picker Dick Cheney. It also shows that Bush’s hand-picked intel chiefs like Michael Hayden and Mike McConnell have lost the faith of the resentful rank-and-file and they can no longer keep the lid on.Already smarting from being the fall guy for the negligence of BushCo prior to 9/11, and the piñata of blame for the incompetent Iraq debacle, this report shows the US intelligence community is tired of playing softball with the White House, just as the comments of retired senior officers, especially Iraq commanders such as John Abizaid, Paul Eaton, John Batiste and Ricardo Sanchez, demonstrate the military is as fed up with the Bushocracy as the rest of America.The Bush/Cheney catastrophe has got a year to go with only the lip service support of its own military and intelligence agencies, and few in either group will be willing to stick out their necks to save Junior and Darth from themselves.Contrary to Nancy Pelosi, impeachment may not be off the table — it may be forced by the CIA and the Pentagon.– Finally, turncoat Sen. what-is-he-smoking? Joe Lieberman is expected to announce on Monday Dec. 17th that he’s supporting John McCain for president, typically extending the middle finger of allegiance to his Dem friends in Congress. AIPAC’s favorite Washington marionette says he is backing McCain because he “has the best chance of uniting the country in its fight against Islamic terrorism.” Right. Okay, we’ve got the Dem VP candidate of 2000, hated by the GOP, embracing a Republican candidate who already doesn’t have much of a constituency within his own party; Cap’n Straight Talk might as well put on his parachute now and get ready to jump — an endorsement from Loserman is the final 20,000-feet shove out of the C-47.

  1. He’s handsome and tall, a sure vote getter. Hope more feces is smeared on him so he doesn’t look so good to superficial voters.
