After eight years and at his final news conference as President, NPR concludes that Chimperor Boooooosh is capable of reflection. Meh. Better late than never. Related: As I watched President Bush’s final tango with reporters this morning, I was reminded of how Chicago Sun-Times columnist Carol Marin described President-elect Obama’s press conferences thus far: “As ferociously as we march like villagers with torches against Blagojevich, we have been, in the

Inclusivity [Dan Collins]
You can’t fault these pro-Hamas demonstrators for discrimination: they want to kill ALL the Jooos. Jihad Watch via Gateway Pundit: Denmark pro-jihad demonstration (thanks to Clarebunny) features Muslims chanting “Down down Israel, down down USA, down down democracy, down down Denmark”; a Muslim making the Nazi salute (at :41); a Muslim saying, “We want to kill all the Jews, all they Jews should be slain, they have no right to
Clarice Feldman: Pardon Scooter Libby [Dan Collins]
Clarice recollects what everyone’s forgotten–or never understood–about the Scooter Libby conviction: But Libby was acquitted of the only charge before the jury that he leaked her identity to reporters and lied about it. In fact, the evidence at trial showed Libby did not disclose Plame’s identity to reporters Robert Novak (Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage and CIA spokesman Bill Harlow did that), or Bob Woodward (Armitage, again), Walter Pincus
She Must Have Some Kind of Voice [Dan Collins]
A lawyer for Amy Winehouse’s jailed husband said Monday his client will be seeking a divorce on the grounds of the soul diva’s alleged infidelity. Attorney Henri Brandman said he had been instructed by Blake Fielder-Civil “to commence divorce proceedings on the grounds of Amy’s adultery.” Winehouse and Fielder-Civil married in Miami in May 2007, but he was arrested six months later over an assault. In July he was sentenced
Kathy Shaidle on the Toronto Rally [Dan Collins]
People with megaphones screaming about wiping Israel off the map and telling Jewish kids they’re gonna effing die, burning American and Israeli flags, waving Hezbollah banners and . . . Che pasa? But hey, all those Joooos need is a little lovin’, right? Greenwalds can begin lecturing on tribalism any time, now. You can vote for 5 Feet of Fury under Best Canadian Blog at the weblogawardsthingie, along with Treacher
Michael Ledeen Must Be A Helluva Makeup Artist [Dan Collins]
Or Jane Fonda has aged very badly. Sully sez, “Michael Ledeen . . . makes Cheney look like Jane Fonda.” I learned that from Sadly, No! This just in: Maureen Dowd is a vile, impotent, callow poseur. Boo-effing-hoo: Limey bastard Prince Harry called me a bloody Yank.
Golden Globes [Dan Collins]
They’re back. I don’t really care, because–as far as I know–I’ve never watched them. I mean the show. On TV. About movies. I do have to admire this guy’s ability to talk to the face, though. More on booby traps. I think that this has something tangential to do with awards, so I’ll just mention that Treacher would appreciate it if you’d vote for him on the weblogawardthingie. It’s not
Francesca Segal Doesn’t Feel Safe [Dan Collins]
in the UK? In August 2001, I turned 21 and my parents gave me a Star of David necklace. Then a month later, the world changed and my mother, with remarkable foresight, began her campaign to rescind the gift, begging me to take it off because she was frightened it would make me a target in the wake of mounting evidence that fanatical Islamism was tightening its grip on the
IAF Bombs More Tunnels [Dan Collins]
IAF planes on Sunday afternoon attacked at least twenty smuggling tunnels along the Philadelphi Corridor, on Gaza’s southern border with Egypt. The tunnels were being used to smuggle weaponry into Gaza, according to the IDF. The IDF said that it would continue to expand operations against such tunnels along the Corridor. Earlier Sunday, the IAF said that Hamas operatives tried to shoot down an Israeli plane at the weekend using
