I took the Cohens’ dog,
Then I chucked tomatoes
Over the fence separating your yard from theirs.
When the old man got mad
And tore up the plants,
I consoled you in your distress.
By the way, have I mentioned “Fuck Harper’s” lately? Fuck Harper’s:
More evidence of the White House’s partisan manipulation of relations with Syria emerged yesterday, as President Jimmy Carter told a gathering in New York about his recent request to visit Syrian President Assad. The former president stated:
“I have known President Bashar al-Assad since he was a college student, and I thought it might be helpful if I went and urged him to support the peace process in the Middle East. But for the only time in my life as a former president, I was ordered by the White House not to go.â€Â
And fuck Jimmah, too.
Oh, and ”if.”
You know, he makes it sound like grocery shopping in East L.A.
“I have known President Bashar al-Assad since he was a college student, and I thought it might be helpful if I went and urged him to support the peace process in the Middle East. But for the only time in my life as a former president, I was ordered by the White House not to go.â€ÂKeep talking Jimmy.
We can always use another reminder what a whiney little bitch you were and are.
I cast my first vote ever for RR for president.
No vote since has felt so right.
That piece by John Kenney, whoever he is, is totally ripped off from something P.J. O’Rourke wrote back in the eighties.
Jimmy,
Jimmy Carter,
Screws up everything he does.
Jimmy,
Jimmy Carter,
What a big old freakin’ putz.
Isn’t there anyone in that old jackass’ life who can pull him aside and point out what a fool he is?
‘Cause I’d hate to make that much of a pig’s breakfast of myself and no one told me.
Could somebody at least pull him aside and point out that he isn’t an ambassador, that Nancy Pelosi screwed this up already, and that he was voted out in part because of his foreign policy ability.

Uh… President Bush is still president, and he’s in charge of this part of American policy. The 2006 elections didn’t leave a big void in the office somehow, there’s still someone who was elected by the people to do this job. Do the Democrats no longer like Democracy or something?
It’s about time somebody told Carter to take a seat next to Michael Moore and shut his toothy yap.
maybe he’s considered it Jeff, but then there’s that whole fear of being accidentally eaten.
What, Jimmah’s not willing to take one for the team?
When have they?
It shouldn’t be a problem for Moore to munch on Jimmah. Just provide a large quanity of peanut butter for Moore to slather on Jimmah, like peanut butter on celery, only with less nutrition.
It’ll be Jimmah’s finest moment.
Hey! My first vote was for RR too. So Carter blew off George I, and blew off Clinton but NOW decided to listen to the White House and not interfere? What changed? Too bad Churchill couldn’t find someone that knew Hitler when he was a student and talk him out of that whole European conquest thing. That Churchill. Such a dumbass. Could have had peace in our time.
Noriega, Saddam, Achmajenidad (sp!), and now Assad…..
who won’t PW posters compare to Hitler.
And, Buzz, because I don’t like your post, I will nitpick it. Churchill didn’t become PM of the UK until May of 1940. A little late to stop Hitler by then.
Finally, Dan, the President says nothing about Republicans going to Syria, but criticizes a Democrat? Sounds partisan to me…but, you’re the expert on partisanship
I don’t recall that any of the Republicans was Speaker of the House. Nice scarf, though.
Care to comment on this from the archives: Newt’s trips to Israel (where he said Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish state forever, contrary to US policy, which holds the status of Jerusalem is up to the parties to negotiate) or his March 31, 1997 trip to China (where he told China we would militarily defend Taiwan. Simply put, US policy is careful in that regard. There is a law that says we will “come to the aid” of Taiwan for its self-defense, but it does not obligate to fight China).
He was off the reservation, yet, a) Nancy wasn’t in Syria and b) we all survived Newt’s moronic comments and we’ll survive Nancy.
As for the snark re: the scarf. I expect better from you. You know there are picture of Mrs. Bush and Condi wearing the hajib in mosques. For Christ’s sake, is there anyone else’s culture you respect? Do you wear your shoes in Japanese homes, because no one can tell you what to do.
Yesterday, I wasted an hour in church and I bowed my head to pray and sang the hymns (especially the ones I liked from my youth), because it shows respect to the customs of the people in the building. When I have attended services in your denomination’s building, I cross myself and try to remember when to chant with the crowd. It’s called respect.
Heaven help the vile foreigner who doesn’t respect Catholic traditions, right, Dan.
Respect for others is just tooooo relativist for those who know ABSOLUTE TRUTH, isn’t it?
No, you goof. I mean she looked good in the scarf. Robin Givhan says so. Who am I to disagree?
Damn, I could have sworn there was snark.
Anyway, I hear the DNC will auction of photos of her wearing just the scarf in time for next year’s congressional campaign. It’s their line of tasteful nudes…Howard Dean, Stenny Hoyer, etc No real erotica, just showing the classical lines of art
