When you have to tell people how awesome your are, instead of just showing them, maybe youâ€™re really not very awesome.

Joe Klein is such a Bush toady, it’s embarrassing. Trying to give Bush credit for something he had no chioice but to do. Sooner or later the NIE report was going to be leaked and Bush and Cheney knew it.

Your high priests of punditry hard at work America. I give you Wanker Emeritus Bullshitterus Joe Klein. Like the Bushevik cronies and the wrong-wingnuts, he’s rewarded and promoted for constantly being wrong about everything. The MSM can’t scrape the barrel much deeper when it employs the likes of Joke Klein.

Karl Rove obtained pictures of Joe Klein (a/k/a/ Joke Line) facking a goat, and the maladministration has been threatening to publish these pictures if Joke Line doesn’t sing along to the maladministration’s Mighty Wurlitzer.

Joke Line denies it, of course, but I have neither the time nor legal background to figure out who’s right. OTOH, I heard it from a reputable source of unblemished non-partisanship and reputation, so I’d be remiss in not passing this information on.

FWIW, Joke Line’s most famous stunt (outside of the above-recounted activities) was to anonymously write a pile’o'crapola pice of fiction (so what’s new?)

Cheers,

I tend to believe that Exlax is, indeed, “well read”. I mean, the rest of us have “well read” his tendency toward obtuse, nitpicking, and minimizing posts.

Either that or “well read” could mean that Exlax has “read a lot” – cereal boxes, kool-aid packages, all of the Dr. Suess and P.D. Eastman books, and “My Pet Goat” at least ten times.

No problem, Mr Llama.

The comments to his ‘correction’ on Swampland are entertaining, too.

Exlax; If you are so well read and knowledgeable, why do you support Bush? He is, without question, the absolute worst head of state on the world stage since Adolf Hitler.

#120 — thanks for that link. McE.

I saw the clip, and I read the “explanation” and Joke Line is full of sh!t once again.

it’s fairly obvious from the clip that he is saying the administration’s reaction to the NIE —

The Bush reaction to this â€” he didnâ€™t try to block it. He didnâ€™t try to postpone it. He didnâ€™t spend weeks, he didnâ€™t ask the intelligence community â€˜give me a couple of weeks, letâ€™s see if we can figure out some kind of negotiating initiative or some way to respond to this.â€™ He didnâ€™t try to spin it to our advantage. This is an amazing moment of candor by the United States.

is what he was referring to. Nowhere in that clip did he say anything like the President’s reaction being “literally, incredible”. Maybe he misspoke, maybe TP helped him realize was a dumba$$ thing it was to say, especially on the heels of his FISA fcukup, but this swampland “clarification” is bullsh!t.

no proof of that here, ever. Sounds like more of your lies and spin.

Ironic that Exley fancies himself well-read with an understanding of all but he didn’t read the sarcasm in my tone or even recognize where I called him a baboon and a clown. Well read indeed.
