He kept saying how much he admired that great feminist pioneer and icon: Candy Bomber.

When C54 maestro “Swede” Larsen stood up to be introduced, the only reason Bill Clinton was not hooted off the stage was that the audience was too busy trying to personally shake hands with a hero of the Berlin airlift.

Big deal. Republicans are far more polite then Democrats. They still value protocol. And some of them, I suspect, even feel a little queasy when they lie in public. Which, by the way, has been a huge detriment to them, since the Dems don’t give a hoot about any of those things, and find no lie too outrageous to not repeat ad infinitum. And they certainly don’t stoop to insult. They stand right up and insult proudly.

Really, the Republicans are playing with unloaded weapons compared to the Dems. Notice — one tiny example — how there were no stories about the White House being trashed by the outgoing Bush team, unlike the adolescent jerkwads of the Clinton squad. When O’s team leaves — praise allah let it be 2012 — they’ll probably burn the joint down.

Given the level of flat-out demonization of George W. Bush indulged in by the Left, including Barack Obama himself, it should not be a surprise if Barack Obama’s opponents return the favor.

If the Obama administration actually turns out to be successful in implementing good policy, that would be good. That appears to be doubtful. Demagoguery on the part of his supporters doesn’t help his legacy. Obama risks getting tarred with a caricature of himself as a person who cannot comprehend that opposition to him can come from anybody other than Rush Limbaugh and as a person who refuses to recognize any legitimate moral objections to his policies.

Present historians rightly see Indian removal by the Jackson administration as a hideous wrong, and yet bureaucrats of the Jackson administration sincerely believed that segregation on a massive scale was necessary to bring peace to America’s frontier. They thought they were doing good. The Obama administration ought not to be so sure of its own righteousness that it repeats the moral blunders of the Jackson administration by failing to help friends and allies.

If the Obama administration claims to “make peace” with America’s enemies by betraying America’s friends and allies, America will fail to achieve peace while also losing its friends.

Remember, Hillary is from Chicago too. Irony of ironies for her, if she’d ran for senate from her real home state instead of carpetbagging in NY, she might have gotten the nomination last year.

Of course, her recent performance as SecState kinda torpedoes the idea that she’s more competent than ol’ Prompterbreath himself. Which was a pretty silly notion anyway. She only looked experienced in comparison with him, but neither are competent to be in charge of anything.

Yes, staffers should have briefed her. But she has a reputation of being, shall we say, a poor listener and not always taking kindly to being told something by her inferiors.

Um in the chapel, The cloak which was brought down from its usual place especially for her, she was referring to the cloak, in the courtyard, well…, uh….,hummm, I think she was referring to Mary the mother of Jesus.

Hey Benj, what about the Afpak plan? Where are the state department players planning to go? Canada or Mexico or do you think significant numbers can be found to actually go to Afpak? Or will the Army and the Marines once again be forced by circumstance into performing multiple tasks? Not that they couldn’t handle it. As proven in Iraq. I worry though about the pak part of the equation. Gotta try it though.

So whats with all the nonsense about gun running by US civilians er questionably documented persons of unspecified Countries of Origin Participating in an out of country counter contingency operation, when it is the US government that has been the major source of supply? Crazy stuff we mainly feared would happen in Iraq, is happening in Mexico. With no reset or overcharge available, it looks to me like Oh’s just giving it all away.

Contingency Operation Planned Only Under Threat.
