Bulletin to Jane:  THIS IS A REPUBLICAN TALKING POINT!!

Don't these people ever sit down and think about it?  Don't they ever have a discussion with anyone who might explain this simple fact?

Damn, it pisses me off when people are so intellectually lazy!!  People are dying unnecessarily every day and the Democrats in Congress are unable to even understand a simple cause and effect.

Aaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh !!!!!!!!!

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity"

Yesterday I spoke with Congresswoman Jane Harman (D-Ca.) just back from Iraq, who voted for the bill--as did a majority of Democrats who are not running for President.

This is so sloppy as to be totally inaccurate.

First of all, Harman is a member of the House, not the Senate.  And in the House, the vast majority of Democrats voted against.  In fact, 54 more Dems voted against than voted for (53 if we subtract Kucinich, who is running for President).

Since 53 is more than the total number of Democrats in the Senate, it's obvious that more Democrats voted against than voted for.

The rest of my earlier post still applies to them.

As for Jokeline's post on Swampland, Gomer Pyle said it best:

Surprise, surprise, surprise !!!!

Perhaps he was channeling Scoop Jackson.

It's not "premature" to do something that should have been done years ago. And nobody is suggesting that U.S. troops throw down their weapons, turn their backs on the insurgents of Iraq and run away, so "precipitous" is just spin. Unfortunately, many, many Democrats have bought into that spin instead of offering counterspin.

Thank you Harmon, Clay, Kucinich, McNeary, Stark, Waters, and Wolf.

Land of the watched, because of the cowed.

You work in HR. The hiring manager says, "After the interviews, we decided we really don't want to hire Jane Doe. Post the job ad again, OK?" But you screw up and tell everyone, "The hiring manager says, they decided they really want to hire Jane Doe, so write the offer letter and don't post the job ad again, OK?"  Hey, no problem! Right?

Or imagine.

The purchasing agent wants to order 150 Macs because, she tells you, her company hates Windows and doesn't want to try to migrate to Linux and has standardized on Macs. But you screw up and write the order for 1,500 PCs with Windows and Linux -- dual boot -- and send it on for fulfillment and shipping. Hey, no problem! Right?

Now imagine that Joe Klein, after getting the key fact exactly backwards, will get dumped in favor of a hack who can count all the way to two without getting either number wrong -- or even get an inquiring phone call from his boss.

Right ... Dream on -- for Joe, it's no problem.

With kind regards,
