Since the NY Times put their esteemed stable of writers behind the Times Select payment wall, there's been a void in my blogging heart. I actually had to seek out inane commentray all over the web when previous to hiding the likes of Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman I could find inanity all in one site.
Fortunately, the Times admitted Pinch's latest business mistake and got rid of the pay to read section so we now have all of these brilliant writers back where we want them--within instant "Fisking" distance.
Today our heroine takes Hillary to task for voting in favor of labeling Iran a terror supporter and the hilarity ensues:
Hillary apologized and said that she had been asked “the very same question in three other places.” She explained that she had signed on to a rewritten version of the amendment that did not, as he claimed, give a green light for combat.
In the original “sense of Senate on Iran” document, sponsored by Joe Lieberman and the Republican Jon Kyl last month, there was a paragraph that supported “the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence and military instruments, in support of the policy with respect to” Iran. That original draft, called “tantamount to a declaration of war” and “Dick Cheney’s fondest pipe dream” by Senator Jim Webb of Virginia, was softened.
At least he didn't say "wet dream" but I digress. It's funny that the left is so far out on the fringe that Hillary looks like a moderate by comparison. Any vote that gives our nation the upper hand in shoring up our security or the security of others is tantamount to treason with the moonbats and you're seeing t with the tone that the Pulitzer Prize-winning MoDo takes.
Even so, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd voted no, and Barack Obama would have voted no if he had voted.Let's see, Joe Biden and Chris Dodd are polling at about the same numbers as Ron Paul--mainly low single digits. Obama says he would've voted against but didn't have the balls to actual show up in the Senate and push the button. He left himself a hedge position, which is the sign of a carrer politician or a coward, the two have become indistinguishable. ModDo conveniently glosses that over. But wait, it gets better:
If you know the dingbat vice president is agitating for a conflict with Iran, if you know that Condi is chasing after Cheney with a butterfly net on Iran and Syria, if you know you can’t believe anything this administration says, why vote to give them more backing on their dysfunctional Middle East policy?Okay, Cheney may be Darth Vader and the most evil man in the world in the eyes of MoDo's readers, but is he a "dingbat?" What does that say about the Dems and Libs considering Cheney has been outsmarting y'all for the last seven years and his dismantlement of Edwrads in 2004 was the best verbal ass-kicking I've seen in ages. But don't tell MoDo or her Upper West Side readers that because if someone is conservative, they must be either brain damaged or idiots--that's common knowledge in the leftist echo chamber.
Hillary’s hawkish Iran vote was an ill-advised move, especially given her private view that Cheney is untrustworthy and given Sy Hersh’s New Yorker report claiming that Cheney had pushed to devise a plan to attack the Revolutionary Guard facilities in Iran.You see how the left does this? MoDo automatically believes that everything Sy Hersh writes is gospel when he has been proven spectacularly wrong on more occassions than I can count. Hell, if Hersh wrote that Cheney planned on attacking the Vatican and installing himself as Pope, MoDo would dutifully take it as unimpeachable fact.
Sorry folks, I can't continue as reading an entire MoDo column dulls the brain and it would be three minutes of my life I could never get back. I'd rather do something important like pick up my yard after my dogs.
Anyway, MoDo is leading the charge against Hillary's "hawkish" views and in doing so is attacking the only candidate with an iota of a chance of winning the general election. She's pushing hard for Obama in spite of the fact he would be just another hapless Democrat come November 2008 who gets the wood put upside his head by the electorate.
Hell, on second thought, all you Libs and Dems out there, follow the words of MoDo to the letter please, she's the single best voice the GOP has ever had.
