Rumsfeld and Feith laugh it up.
Gossip blogger Extreme Mortman reports from the Hoover Institution’s annual reception: “There, as we sip The Glenlivet, could it be? Yes! It’s Don Rumsfeld chatting up Doug Feith! Not just chatting, laughing. Laughing really, really hard. The kind of laughter that’s so hard it could cause a mistrial if the Scooter Libby jury ever heard it. We couldn’t figure out the joke, but we saw Feith sipping red wine, and Rumsfeld holding a glass of what seemed to be white. … If only we knew what the joke was. Perhaps the joys of private sector?”

C’mon people,what do you think about them laughing about the ‘lost’ 12 billion?
February 28th, 2007 at 1:20 amRummy and Feith were toasting the millions they stole from Iraq funds.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:22 amAnd the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:25 amMaybe they were laughing about how they scammed the American people.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:34 amWe were just laughing about Pelosi and the fact that she can’t do anything. What you guys care anyway.

I’m starting to like this Rachel.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:18 amI hope your better tommorrow.
So Rumsfeld and Feith were playing who farted.
Man that is such a funny game.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:19 amThe PNAC family reunion of the Toranimals and their enablers trying to reshape the middle east to ease Israels territorial ambitions. These fcukers are the most destructive force on the planet at this time. It’s nice that the country woke up and gave them a smackdown last year, but they’re all so fcuking stupid, they think they won the election! What stupid fools.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:23 amWe were just laughing about Pelosi and the fact that she can’t do anything. What you guys care anyway.
Comment by Don Rumsfeld
Okay, I give, who farted?
February 28th, 2007 at 2:24 amFeith and Rumsfeld were joking about the minions who have taken it upon themselves to defend the failed initiatives this administration has championed (the ones not even Richard Perle will defend anymore).
When Feith said “Yeah, I hear some will even go on Think Progress to make up excuses for us -without charging us a penny! Suckers!!” they both had a good, long, hearty belly laugh.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:38 amLaughing at Americans for electing Bush to a second term when he had lost the first race but was appointed by Bush thugs on the Supreme Court.
These are good days for war-profiteers, so they are celebrating.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:49 amBush lost the second, too—according to the evidence we can see: the exit polls said Kerry won by 3.0% . When you ask 70,000+ people a very empirical question: “who did you just vote for president”, and then it is expertly “weighted” by social scientists and statisticians—it is not possible to be off by more than 0.2%.
The official version says Bush won by 2.6%. BUT, we are not allowed to see how those voting machines (made and controlled by pro-Republican corporations) work.
One has to be extremely naiive not to smell a rat. It is statistically impossible. When you add into that he huge descrepancies for swing states, presidential race, and whether or not the vote has a paper trail—MIT and Princeton research expert Stephen Freeman says the odds become 250,000,000 to 1 that it did not happen by chance.
Also, 2000 Florida exit polls said Gore won the state by 300,000 !!!
February 28th, 2007 at 3:46 amBill Maher: George of the Bungle
http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushvideos/v/maherbushbungle.htm
Mocking President Bush for general ineptitude, comedian Bill Maher delivered a funny rant as part of his “New Rules” segment on HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher”:
“Seriously, Mr. President, this job can’t be fun for you anymore. There’s no more money to spend; you used up all of that. You can’t start another war because you also used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.”
“New rule: American must recall the president. That’s what this country needs – a good old-fashioned, California-style recall election, complete with Gary Coleman, porno actresses, and action film stars. And just like Schwarzenegger’s predecessor here in California, George Bush is now so unpopular, he must now defend his job against…Russell Crowe, because at this point I want a leader who will throw a phone at somebody. In fact, let’s have only phone throwers. Naomi Campbell can be the vice president.
“Now I kid, but seriously, Mr. President, this job can’t be fun for you anymore. There’s no more money to spend; you used up all of that. You can’t start another war because you also used up the army. And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people. Yeah, listen to your mom, the cupboard’s bare, the credit card’s maxed out, and no one’s speaking to you. Mission accomplished.
“Now it’s time to do what you’ve always done best: lose interest and walk away. Like you did with your military service. And the oil company. And the baseball team. It’s time to move on and try the next fantasy job. How about cowboy or spaceman? Now, I know what you’re saying, you’re saying that there are so many other things that you as president could involve yourself in. Please don’t. I know, there a lot left to do. There’s a war with Venezuela, and eliminating the sales tax of yachts, turning the space program over to the church and Social Security to Fannie Mae, giving embryos the vote.
“But sir, none of that is going to happen now. Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives. You’ve performed so poor, I’m surprised you haven’t given yourself a medal. You’re a catastrophe that walks like a man. Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never conceded an entire metropolis to rising water and snakes. On your watch, we’ve lost almost all of our allies, the surplus, four airliners, two trade centers, a piece of the Pentagon, and the city of New Orleans. Maybe you’re just not lucky. I’m not saying you don’t love this country, I’m just wondering how much worse it could be if you were on the other side. So yes, God does speak to you, and what he’s saying is, ‘Take a hint.’”
-Bill Maher, HBO’s “Real Time With Bill Maher,” Sept. 9, 2005

Rumsfeld and Feith laugh it up….

February 28th, 2007 at 8:19 amI know I sound like an anarchist, which is fine by me BTW, but this is what offends me the most:
Ruling class criminals having a good time, sipping expensive wine while the poor in the US or in any other country struggles every day to get just some bread. I guess some idiot will point out that those two wroked really hard to get their asses over there. Yeah, right. We need a change.

We should all have access to that private sector.
February 28th, 2007 at 8:39 amI think they had just had a reading of Herman Goering’s ode to the common shlep – that just kills at a neocon bash. On the positive side Hess and Goering et al probably had a few good yucks in the dock at Nuremberg, too.
February 28th, 2007 at 8:46 amthe Hoover Institution…,.hehehhehe..they both SUCK
February 28th, 2007 at 9:22 amObviously laughing at their bloated stock portfolios, built on the blood of our troops.
February 28th, 2007 at 11:20 amJacksasses!
Glenlivet? Jeebus, with all that war-profiteering cash sloshing around and that’s what he comes up with as supposedly an instance of how super-cool and sophisticated in the finer things he is? Guy obviously wouldn’t know a decent single malt if it bit him on the bunions. Stick with the Southern Comfort, dude, it’s more your style.
February 28th, 2007 at 11:29 amDon Dumbsfailed and Sissy-boy Feith will be LAUGHING up until the time the NOOSE is put around their necks and the trapdoors opened–THEN they will be laughing again–ALL THE WAY TO HELL, where Saddam will have his arm around SATAN’S ASS and a PITCHFORK in his other hand to start PRODDING Dumbsfailed and Feith to GET TO WORK shovelling WHITE HOT COALS–WITH THEIR BARE HANDS!!!!! OUCH!!!!!
February 28th, 2007 at 2:36 pmFeb. 28, 2003 http://www.pbs.org/now/transcript/transcript_wilson.html
MOYERS: So this is not just about weapons of mass destruction.
JOE WILSON: Oh, no, I think it’s far more about re-growing the political map of the Middle East.
MOYERS: What does that mean?
WILSON: Well, that basically means trying to install regimes in the Middle East that are far more friendly to the United States — there are those in the administration that call them democracies. Somehow it’s hard for me to imagine that a democratic system will emerge out of the ashes of Iraq in the near term. And when and if it does, it’s hard for me to believe that it will be more pro-American and more pro-Israeli than what you’ve got now.
MOYERS: Tell me what you think about the arguments of one of those men, Richard Perle, who is perhaps the most influential advocate in the President’s and the administration’s ear arguing to get rid of Saddam Hussein. What do you think about his argument?
WILSON: Well, he’s certainly the architect of a study that was produced in the mid-’90s for the Likud Israeli government called “a clean break, a new strategy for the realm.” And it makes the argument that the best way to secure Israeli security is through the changing of some of these regimes beginning with Iraq and also including Syria. And that’s been since expanded to include Iran…
Joe Wilson – June 14, 2003
“The real agenda in all of this of course, was to redraw the political map of the Middle East. Now that is code, whether you like it or not, but it is code for putting into place the strategy memorandum that was done by Richard Perle and his study group in the mid-90’s which was called, “A Clean Break – A New Strategy for the Realm.” And what it is, cut to the quick, is if you take out some of these countries, some of these governments that are antagonistic to Israel then you provide the Israeli government with greater wherewithal to impose its terms and conditions upon the Palestinian people, whatever those terms and conditions might be. In other words, the road to peace in the Middle East goes through Baghdad and Damascus. Maybe Tehran. And maybe Cairo and maybe Tripoli if these guys actually have their way. Rather than going through Jerusalem.”

“On the other ones, the geopolitical situation, I think there are a number of issues at play; there’s a number of competing agendas. One is the remaking of the map of the Middle East for Israeli security, and my fear is that when it becomes increasingly apparent that this was all done to make Sharon’s life easier and that American soldiers are dying in order to enable Sharon to impose his terms upon the Palestinians that people will wonder why it is American boys and girls are dying for Israel and that will undercut a strategic relationship and a moral obligation that we’ve had towards Israel for 55 years. I think it’s a terribly flawed strategy.”
