SundayMorninCominDown duties

* much to my surprise, driftglass belatedly fulfilled his SundayMorninCominDown duties. some quicktakes:

"Shorter driftglass on Sammon: The Bad Guys are running on fumes. To find some dunsel that can sit upright in a chair without scaffolding and chocks under his ass, al that won’t start flossing his sinuses with his tie under pressure, they’ve had to tag-in their third-stringers; Pillsbury D’oh!-boys with as much tensile strength as a pillowcase full of poached eggs."

(let's hope driftglass gets a copy of Sammon's book)

and

"General Pace: All is well.

Timmuh: OK, but polls suck. It’s, like, a trillion to one against staying one more day in Iraq! Can you keep an Army in the field with these kind of numbers?

Pace: No. Which is why we have to...wait for it...wait for it...”remarket” the fucking war. ‘Cause that’s the problem! The packaging!

The problem, sayeth Pace, is that after almost exactly three years in-country and a one year of prep – all slathered in an all-out, propaganda campaign of lies and deceit, aided and abetted by a completely boneless, prostrate Media that have ceded the field to the Administration Talking Point Marching Band at every point – that the poor, poor White House just can’t get its message out and ‘Murricans don’t really, really know just how terrific everything is really going in Iraq.

Seem no one likes the New Iraq, so we need to go back to Classic Iraq."

and

"Russia: Bunch of nuttieness going on there. Putin bad. Anti-Democratic. Ruthless.

It’s...it’s....almost as if the Dear Leader was wrong when his put on his Majyk Anima-Vision Goggles, looked deep in the Pooty-Poot’s manly eyes and said, “I declare this soul...Clean!”"

and

Timmuh: It’s nice to have a Democrat and a Republican sitting here together!

Hmmm. I wonder who that non sequitur was directed at?

His corporate overlords?

Me (an a thousand others) who called his Bloated Self out for booking three Republicans and no Dems last week?"

thnx drifty
