Will all the Wise Men of Washington please just put a sock in it? Seriously, this is the best and brightest this country has to offer?
I think perhaps the most significant thing you've done is to set an example for us, that five Democrats and five Republicans sat and reasoned together about what we should do in Iraq to succeed," said Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.
The most significant thing, Joe? Don't you mean the thing that most neatly falls into your own warped viewpoint on what is wrong with the rest of us?
We're the problem. It's our fault. It's our failure. And if we continue to fail, well there's just nothing the Wise Men can do about it, because they've tried and tried to get us to join hands and follow the script, and we're just too stupid, too stubborn, and too bent on pointing fingers and not being bi-fucking-partisan.
If only we'd been more like Joe. C'mon, clap louder, people! Tinkerbull is going to die and then we'll all be sorry.
The Wisest of the Wise Men says it's critical.
Baker and Hamilton underscored the need for rapid change in Iraq. "Bipartisanship is critical," Baker said. "This is an extraordinarily difficult problem. And unless the country comes together behind a unified approach, we're going to have a tough time dealing with it."
Come together. Right now. Over?
The size and scope of the scam is really breathtaking. Nine months of deliberation culminating in weeks of breathless anticipation leads us to the perfect scam. All the good little war supporters are given the perfect rationale for escaping blame, because it's simply critical that the country come together. It doesn't matter at all that there's never been a unified approach or that there never will be, we must still come together. Right.Now.
I have some words for the Wise Men.
Fuck your "significant" and "critical" bi-partisan bullshit. Fuck your attempts to place the onus on the country. Fuck you for coddling the raving lunatic in the WH. Fuck you for playing games with people's lives. Fuck you for being shallow and weak. Fuck you for bringing this debacle to us and then having the unmitigated gall to blame us for your failure.
Just.Fuck.You.
