Fourth Estate or Fifth Column?

Congressional Reform Now!

Why can't our political process be like this?
Pandemonium broke out in Taiwanese parliament when deputies attacked a woman colleague for snatching and trying to eat a proposal on opening direct transport links with China in a bid to stop a vote on the issue.
Lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party charged towards the podium and protested noisily to prevent the review of an opposition proposal seeking an end to decades-old curbs on direct air and shipping links with China.
Amid the chaos, DPP deputy Wang Shu-hui snatched the written proposal from an opposition legislator and shoved it into her mouth, television news footage showed.

I've been watching footage of melees in the Taiwanese parliament for years. I'm so jealous.
I want to see Barbara Boxer vainly trying to obstruct some legislation by devouring the pages, and for her Republican colleagues to pound the crap out of her.
I want to see people rush up and drag Teddy Kennedy away from the podium, hitting him in the legs with socks full of nickles.
Arlen Specter would be getting wedgies everytime he started getting wobbly.
Is that so wrong? The element of physical danger would attract better people- courageous people missing a lot of teeth- to the House and Senate. And spineless bastards like John Kerry wouldn't want the job anymore.

Here's where I engage in some “inappropriate” gloating

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Abu Musab al-Zarqawi could barely speak, but he struggled and tried to get away from American soldiers as he lay dying on a stretcher in the ruins of his hideout.

Uululululululululululululululululululululululu!

Al-Zarqawi somehow managed to survive the impact of the bombs, weapons so powerful they tore a huge crater in the date palm forest where the house was nestled just outside the town of Baqouba.Iraqi police reached the scene first, and found the 39-year-old al-Zarqawi alive.“He mumbled something, but it was indistinguishable and it was very short,” Maj. Gen. William Caldwell, spokesman for U.S.-led forces in Iraq, said Friday of the Jordanian-born terrorist’s last words.

The Hell it was. Thanks to an informant on the scene, I have a transcript of the goat buggerer’s last words:“Tell that jerk Murtha that he looks like a camel I used to shag and that I lied about his check being in the mail.”

Iraqi police pulled him from the flattened home and placed him on a makeshift stretcher.

…after having tried some twenty-seven times.“Oops, Ibrahim. I dropped him again.”“Well don’t just stand there, man! Pick him up and do it again!”*THUMP!*“Well, at least you almost managed to hit the stretcher this time. Try it again.”

U.S. troops arrived, saw that al-Zarqawi was conscious, and tried to provide medical treatment, the spokesman said.
“Hold still, asshole. This will only hurt a little bit.”“AIEEEEEE!”“Damn pussy. You made me miss, and now the needle is all bent out of shape. Too bad I didn’t bring any spares. Oh well, here we go again…”

“He obviously had some kind of visual recognition of who they were because he attempted to roll off the stretcher,

…with a little help. And he kept landing in that pile of broken glass for some reason.

…as I am told, and get away, realizing it was the U.S. military,” Caldwell told Pentagon reporters via videoconference from Baghdad.Al-Zarqawi “attempted to, sort of, turn away off the stretcher,” he said. “Everybody re-secured him back onto the stretcher,

…with the only thing they had handy, which just happened to be a bit of razor wire. Adapt, improvise, overcome.

…but he died almost immediately thereafter from the wounds he’d received from this airstrike.”

“Well… Mainly from those wounds anyway. We tried to keep him alive, believe me, but all fun must come to an end eventually.”

So much blood covered al-Zarqawi’s body that U.S. forces cleaned him up before taking photographs. “Despite the fact that this person actually had no regard for human life, we were not going to treat him in the same manner,” Caldwell said.

In the same manner that I’d treat a human lifeform, that is, which he was clearly not.

Caldwell also said experts told him it is not unheard of for people to survive a blast of that magnitude.“There are cases when people, in fact, can survive even an attack like that on a building structure. Obviously, the other five in the building did not, but he did for some reason,” Caldwell said.
I believe the word you’re looking for is “karma”, Sir.

An aide to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, said he saw Caldwell’s news briefing but could neither confirm nor deny that al-Zarqawi briefly survived the blast.“Well, I think it’s clear: The Americans said he was seriously wounded and he died,” the aide said.

And he did.

Bwahahahaha!

Damn! this is so much FUN!

Zarqy's Replacement Prepares to Battle the Infidel

Democrat Front Runner Snuffs It!

BAGHDAD, June 8 --Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the mastermind behind hundreds of bombings, kidnappings and beheadings in Iraq, was killed Wednesday evening by an airstrike northwest of Baghdad, U.S. and Iraqi officials said Thursday.
Zarqawi, a Jordanian-born high-school dropout whose leadership of the insurgent group al-Qaeda in Iraq made him the most wanted man in the country, was killed along with seven aides near the city of Baqubah, the officials said.

Hey…how about we ship the Phelps Clan over so they can protest his funeral, or the fact that he needs one now. You know those bastards are just heartbroken about this.
Teddy and Jf’nK will be hitting the hooch right about now too. Hillary is throwing more ashtrays, Nancy "Stretch" Pelosi’s face is drooping…..gotta LOVE IT!!

But seriously, anyone want to take bets when the Donks start suggesting that the timing of this was "politically motivated" or "suspicious"? Or perhaps the Tinfoil Hat crowd will trot out the classic "It's a propaganda ploy to boost ChimpyBushHitler's poll numbers."

So, Who Wants the Haditha Story to be True?

Even if the Marines are tried and cleared, Haditha will be a legend for the left for the next four generations.
The left never lets the inconvenience of facts stand in their way. If they trusted facts, John Kerry would be in Leavenworth not the Senate.

The Continuing Adventures of

Chuckie Schumer, Dumbass

Chapter 3; Chuckie & Friends

Speaking at Queens College commencement exercises, New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi suffered a classic Bush Derangement Syndrome Slip (BDSS): NY Dem: Put ‘Bullet Between Bush’s Eyes’

That's really ironic, considering what a gun-control-loving prick widdle Chuckie Schumer is. Did Chuckie Schumer issue an immediate denouncement from the stage, against such a stupid, arrogant, slanderous, threatening remark against the Commander in Chief? Chuckie, himself, should get in some pretty hot water, if he didn't denounce that introduction immediately, as completely 100% out of line.
Then again... In light of the fact that he's an arrogant, worthless hypocrite of the highest (lowest?) order, perhaps it's to be expected. The man is the living embodiment of the Pigs in Animal Farm. Actually, considering how wacko the left has become, they'll probably use that introduction for a DNC campaign commercial.
Absolutely nothing that comes from the left surprises me any more.

Iraqi Voters Give Democrats the Finger

Bush lied? People dyed. Their fingers.
