Kissinger skeptical of blogs.
Last night, conservatives gathered at the Four Seasons in New York City for a Power Line event to honor Norman Podhoretz with a book award. Guests included Bill Kristol and Paul Wolfowitz, who arrived with his infamous love interest Shaha Riza. Henry Kissinger also gave a speech:
As Mr. Kissinger said in his remarks, “I don’t know what a blog is. I don’t know how to find a blog.” His computer, he said, is used to read newspapers. [...]
Mr. Kissinger said he was skeptical about the digitalization of media, for if his words and sentences “get shortened for cyberspace, there is no telling what will come out.”
As The New York Times notes, Kissinger should be worried about more than just the digital media getting his words wrong.

February 12th, 2008 at 4:45 pmAnd yet you were at an event to honor a fellow loon in Pudhurtz , that was assembled and hosted by Power Lame ; a blog site…….Way to be such a gracious guest , nitwit.
Kissinger skeptical of blogs
That’s OK. I was ALWAYS skeptical of Henry.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:46 pm‘S OK, you old Nazi, we’re still extremely skeptical of you.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:47 pmI think he misspoke…
he meant he was skeptical of the ‘facts’, not blogs. So it should read:
February 12th, 2008 at 4:49 pmAs Mr. Kissinger said in his remarks, “I don’t know what a fact is. I don’t know how to find a fact.â€
henry the k should have been indicted, prosecuted, convicted, and jailed for war crimes decades ago… but, hey…! it’s not too late… i don’t believe there’s a statute of limitations on murder…
And, yes, I DO take it personally
February 12th, 2008 at 4:51 pmdoes this matter??? the man is decomposing before our very eyes!
February 12th, 2008 at 4:54 pmI thought Shaha Riza had dumped Wolfie? I guess some women are not easily disgusted by moral bankruptness. In her case, she clearly has no problem with Wolfie’s amorality. I would have thought, though, that, as a woman, she would have been disgusted by his lack of personal hygiene. The guy is revolting: he smells, he spits on his comb before combing his hair, and he has holes in his socks. Yuck!
February 12th, 2008 at 4:54 pmThere is indeed no statute of limitations on murder, prof…
You are correct.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:54 pmKissinger is the one who patronized the 9/11 Widows pushing for the commission to find out how their husbands died. I didn’t expect any better of this boot licker.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:55 pmHenry’s been mediaphobic since the secret White House recordings during Watergate were made public. Or maybe dating Barbara Walters did it.
February 12th, 2008 at 4:58 pm“Last night, conservatives gathered … to honor Norman Podhoretz. Guests included Bill Kristol and Paul Wolfowitz, who arrived with his infamous love interest Shaha Riza. Henry Kissinger also gave a speech…”
There’s never a suicide bomber around when you want one.

It could be worse for him — with the digitalization of media, there’s a greater chance that he will be quoted ACCURATELY.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:03 pmHAHAHAHA…..
IS THERE ANY DOUBT THAT THE INTERNET IS THE GREAT OVERTHROWER OF THE REPUGLICAN PARTY?
IS IT THE NEW TOWN SQUARE WHERE THE REVOLUTION WILL BE LAUNCHED
February 12th, 2008 at 5:04 pmIm skeptical of people who form policy behind closed doors
February 12th, 2008 at 5:05 pmand Kissinger is relevent how?
February 12th, 2008 at 5:05 pmHenry’s only problem is that he is not seven, like my Granddaughter. You know the adage about old dogs and new tricks – at this stage, Henry is the oldest dog in the pound.

Ouch… that’s gonna show in the morning…
February 12th, 2008 at 5:07 pmHardly worth noting. Henry is old enough to fart dust. He wouldn’t know where to find his own rump using his own two hands either.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:09 pmPeople are generally amazed that I would take an interest in any form that would require me to stop talking for three hours.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:09 pmHenry A. Kissinger
At least Blogs aren’t guilty of mass murder…
February 12th, 2008 at 5:14 pmhas he still not passed away….
sheesh
give somebody else a turn Hank.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:17 pmKissinger went on to say, “ge rte ed for cyberspac ere is no te g what will co ut.â€
February 12th, 2008 at 5:17 pmBTW: He just gets better and better looking.

This is right. The principal reason for antagonism towards blogs is that it exposes the charlatans to scrutiny, interferes with plausible deniability, and generally takes away their “message control”.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:21 pm‘Mr. Kissinger said he was skeptical about the digitalization of media, for if his words and sentences “get shortened for cyberspace, there is no telling what will come out.‒
Right, Henry boy. And the administration is being completely honest and forthright, and fully discloses all they know to the citizens of the county who elected them to represent them. Not!
The blogs exist because politicians in general, and this administration in particular, have been far, far, less than honest, open, and forthright in dealing with its citizens. The people know this and are fighting back with the only weapon they have – the power of the written word. Perhaps the more ink we bleed (even digitally), the less blood we will – eventually – spill, and the more the truth will be known.
We are only trying to put all the pieces together to understand what the hell is going on. And God knows, the politicians do not want us to know this. Ignorance and the censorship and sequestering of information are among the greatest reserves of power used by those leaders who overthrow governments of the people. Every time a government is overthrown by its leaders, one of the first things they do is to choke off the press and the ability of people to express their concerns and warn others.
You’re a smart man, HK. Quit playing possum on us.

For a supposed “Dr.”, the guy’s a freaking eedjit.
Cheers,
February 12th, 2008 at 5:46 pmHehe…Yeah, Kissinger should be worried. They may strip out every 7th bit of his message, yaknow? Then it’ll come out all garbled. Wait…it went IN garbled? Oh, so that’s what Garbage In, Garbage Out means…
:-D
February 12th, 2008 at 5:53 pmNo matter how old I get, this sh!tbag just refuses to do the graceful thing and go. Creep.
February 12th, 2008 at 5:57 pmWho cares?
February 12th, 2008 at 6:17 pmKissinger should be roasted on a spit like the fat pig he is. Criminal POS.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:35 pmWhat a coincidence, we’re skeptical of you Henry.
February 12th, 2008 at 6:47 pmYes indeedy.
“”Today Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat from beyond whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will pledge with world leaders to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by their world government.”

I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.

“It is an act of insanity and national humiliation to have a law prohibiting the President from ordering assassination.”

“The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.”

Who gives a fug whether this war criminal likes blogs? Honestly, we don’t need to know everything that these crooks say.
February 12th, 2008 at 10:15 pmKissinger: “I don’t know what a blog is. I don’t know how to find a blog.â€
Memo to Kissinger: Don’t ask the Internets-in-chief. He only knows The Google for maps on his Crawford Ranch.
February 12th, 2008 at 11:23 pmSounds like the Zionists were have a love-in. And they are moving to take control of the internet as they have more or less co-opted most all of the other major media. (i.e. Harper’s Magazine etc.)
February 13th, 2008 at 9:55 am1) If I didn’t know anything about the organization giving me an award, I sure as hell wouldn’t accept it. “The Creativity Movement honors An Outhouse for excellence in blog comments”. (Creativity Movement is a neo-nazi group).
2) Who is Powerline’s sugar daddy providing the wingnut welfare for this?
