The very definition of strategery -- I woke to the Preznit's speech about his strategery for winification in Iraq. What a steaming bucket of shite! How does this twit have a shred of credibility left? NPR had Sen. Feingold to respond. (Hey, Wisconsin, wanna swap a Feinstein for a Feingold?) The Repub on the panel was some US Rep from Fla. Her non-sequitor was "well we weren't in Iraq on 9/11" I screamed at the radio, "yeah, well we weren't in Iraq on fucking December 7, 1941, but what the fuck does that have to do with anything?"
All in all, a shitty way to wake up.
Can we have a vote of no confidence? Now?

Great Moments in Conservative Punditry
Every time you delve into the situation in Iraq, you come away with the phrase "not enough troops" ringing in your head, and I hope someday we will find out how this travesty came about.
I know Atrios blogged on this two days ago, but the Brooks piece just appeared in my local paper. I was eating lunch, and almost did a spit take when I came to this sentence. How can a man so profoundly stupid be so prominent in the media?

In challenging war's critics, administration tinkers with truth
Knight Ridder Washington Bureau
might as well start with woodward. another turgid display of fourth estatemanship.
digbys take:
Woodward, like Broder and Sally and Richard Cohen and Cokie and the rest of the moribund DC establishment, are obsessed with the social and personal activities of their King (and their own relationships to him) and have absolutely no interest or insight into the corrupt, depraved, malevolent political force the Republican Washington establishment has become. (It's hardball politics!) As long as they are getting their due deference and nobody's slip is showing, they are more than happy to keep any behavior that the unwashed masses might find unpalatable under wraps --- things like war or institutionalized character assassination. The only scandals worth reporting are "too many marts" and "trashing the place" --- behaviors that imply the courtier's social mores are unimportant. Tsk tsk tsk.
