Rove, Craig & Vetter have company

Like Karl Rove, Larry Craig and David Vetter last week Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol is practicing the art of irony.

Appearing on Fox “News” yesterday morning, Kristol sarcastically disparaged the sexism and misogyny that Democratic primary voters showed Sen. Clinton, saying; “It never would have happened in the Republican party. […] Republicans are much more open to strong women.”

Excuse me??? “republicans are much more open to strong women’? Seriously, that’s your argument?

I seem to remember him giving into that sexism during the primary, when you mocked her crying… though that’s nothing compared to what you said in February while discussing Clinton’s supporters, saying “White women are a problem, that’s, you know — we all live with that.”

Apparently republicans grasp of irony is as misguided as Alanis Morrisette’s grasp of irony…

Karl Rove is Mr Irony

Last Sunday the NY Times ran an article that looked at the CIA’s interrogation of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammad, and in the process identified the name of the CIA agenct that interrogated him.

On yesterday’s “The O’Reilly Factor” former Bush crony Karl Rove criticized the Times for leaking the name of the CIA agent, saying; “T]hey’ve got a very callous view about our nation’s security and interests.”

Rove then went on to say that the US is put at risk when a CIA agent’s identity is leaked.

I love irony…

Next stop part 1,210: Iran

Former US Ambassador to the UN, John “I am the Walrus” Bolton appeared on Fox “News” and discussed whether the US is close to striking Iranian targets, as new reports indicate the Bush(whacked) Administration is drawing up plans for a “surgical strike” on the country.

Bolton said that while there are “obviously risks associated” with a strike on Iran (that’s a massive understatement) the risks of not doing something are “far higher” at this point… though no one can say why.

Bolton said that attacking Iran would be the “most prudent thing to do” (especially if you’re a neo-con, war-mongering, chicken-hawk dumbass) and said; “I think they’re dead wrong on this. I think this is a case where the use of military force against a training camp to show the Iranians we’re not going to tolerate this is really the most prudent thing to do. Then the ball would be in Iran’s court to draw the appropriate lesson to stop harming our troops.”

This administration won’t be happy until they attack Iran and further deplete our military.

1/20/2009 can NOT come soon enough…
