AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE FROM PAUL KRUGMAN

November 30, 2007 8:21 AM | Link to this

today’s toon is pretty good. sad, but true. Unfortunate that so many bought into those risky ARM loans.

On another note, Democrats and Republicans thrashed Bill Clinton yesterday for claiming he’s been opposed to the Iraq war since it started - a whopper that flies in the face of many of his previous public comments. .

Even Barack said [Asked about the reversal yesterday, Sen. Barack Obama laughed off Clinton’s alleged opposition to the war.

“If he did [oppose the war], I don’t think most of us heard about it,” he told reporters.]( http://www.nypost.com/seven/11292007/news/nationalnews/billsbulloniraqtriggersridicule393267.htm).

Tough guy Republicans are really afraid of questions from real Americans

by Joe Sudbay (DC) · 11/30/2007 08:38:00 AM ET

The right wingers are in a frenzy over the CNN YouTube debate. In their world view, it’s somehow diabolical that real Americans, some of whom were Democrats, submitted questions to the candidates. The GOPers have gotten used to watching Bush live in his his bubble where’s he only greeted by adoring fans. Apparently, right wingers only want their candidates to be insulated from anything except immigration bashing and supporting Bush’s war in Iraq — and top GOP operative Grover Norquist who managed to get a question.

Seriously, how are any of these wimps going to stand up to Al Qaeda if they can’t even take a tough question from a Democrat?

Shawny,

Sorry. No Huckabee ‘08, no Rudy, no Mitt, no Republican at all.

They and by extension, you have had every day since 2000 to do what’s right for this country. The results are just showing themselves for the disaster they are and will be. I’m going to take the Jim Wooten tack, when I and my band of happy liberals are in charge anyone that voted twice for Dumbya will not be allowed to vote for 16 years. They just don’t have the intellectual capacity to be trusted.

Where can I file my complaint ml? Housing sales in my county went into a slump nine years ago.

Why? We had a bunch of BOE members who could do nothing but fight while the quality of education declined. That and the crime rate increased.

Building an over abundance of affordable housing was the solution. As a result it’s only gotten worse.

In twenty years we’ve only had two Republicans run for county commissioner. Both were defeated.

Good morning fellow bloggers.

To me there is a fundamental difference as regards this upcoming election between the dwindling Bush apologists, neo-cons and right wing Republicans and the rest of the country.

The question for the Bushbots is, will the country be worse off with a Democrat at the helm. And for everybody else the question is will the country be better off.

As this incompetent, arrogant GOP has set the bar so amazingly low, it would seem that the answer is obvious.

And for me personally, it is hard to even imagine another administration that could fail as miserably, across the board, as this one has.

CNN is incompetent when it comes to vetting their sources and since most liberal’s get their news from CNN, their incompetence is passed along through you.

Most of the comment I’m hearing is that the Republican candidates did great in fielding the questions — planted or not. It was definitely one of the better debates and that includes those I’ve seen from the Democrats.

This morning, former White House chief of staff at the time, Andrew Card, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and completely discredited Rove’s argument:

SCARBOROUGH: We have to start with something that we all are talking about a couple of days ago where Karl Rove went on Charlie Rose and he blamed the Democrats for pushing him and the president into war. Is that how it worked?

CARD: No, that’s not the way it worked.

Card went on to explain that sometimes Rove’s “mouth gets ahead of his brain”:

SCARBOROUGH: Is that just Karl spinning beyond the White House? …

CARD: Well, Karl is very smart. He’s — sometimes his brain gets ahead of his mouth. And sometimes his mouth gets ahead of his brain.

WASHINGTON — The Bush administration and major financial institutions are close to agreeing on a plan that would temporarily freeze interest rates on certain troubled subprime home loans, according to people familiar with the negotiations.

Hopefully some good news on the horizon. It comes down to when the banks want to lose money, either it is now or it is later. Expect an industry wide immunity for the banks if they take this plan, what they are planning on doing is illegal and opens them up to lawsuits by investors. Funny thing about that, if anyone has followed news out of Ohio, a few federal district judges have started throwing out foreclosures because the lenders do not have standing if they sold the loan to investors. If anyone is in a situation where they might be facing an eminent foreclosure, it would be in your interest to get a lawyer instead of just letting the bank go foward. The bank may not have standing.

Watching the Repug debate was pretty scary. The candidates were pretty scary in themselves, but what was even scarier was watching all those looney right wingers in the audience and those submitting questions on Youtube. That Bible thumper who waved his King James in front of the camera and asked the question about the candidates’ belief in the Bible reminded me of a fundamentalist Muslim and his Koran. The fact that such assinine issues were even discussed showed me that the Repug party is not anywhere I’d like to be.

I liked the planted tough questions on the debate. Too bad it didn’t work the other way in the Dem debate. Read that Peggy Noonan piece, where she imagines hard hitting questions like “Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama, Mr. Edwards, this is a human fetus. Given a few more months, it will be a baby you could hold in your arms. You all say you’re ‘for the children.’ I would ask you to look America in the eye and tell us how you can support laws to end this life. Thank you.”

Now that would work the same as those ridiculous planted questions like ‘do you believe what is in THIS BOOK?’, ‘what do you think of this flag?’, or any of that kind of crap.

ITFS et al,

The only problem with the debate is that most of the questions were on issues of interest to Democrats and we’re supposed to be in the process of selecting a Republican nominee. Fortunately Republicans keep themselves informed so we didn’t really need another debate/joint press conference to hone in on our selections.

It was interesting to see them have to think on their feet and our guys did a fine job.

Oh, there’s so much good news coming out. (Just skip over IN THE NEWS who is morbidly unhappy.) You should have watched Lehrer News Hour last night.

Iraqi refugees returning home from Syria because conditions are better.

The stock market is thriving.

The economy did well the first three quarters of the year, even if expected to fall because of housing.

The leaders of Isrealis and Palistinians shaking hands in Annapolis in a peace projection brought about by Bush and Rice.

The “rust belt” of America is becoming a hub of industry again as Americans begin to manufacture their own superior products.

Large protests continue in Venezuela as Chavez tries to make himself president for life. They don’t like his “socialized” dictatorial government.

{{{{What is notable, however, is what a hash CNN is making in this long election season of its self-described reputation as “the first name in news.” In two successive debates now, CNN has made editorial decisions that range from the bizarre to the scandalous. The bizarre conduct came in the Democratic debate in Nevada two weeks ago, which concluded with a bubbly young woman asking a vapid question about whether Hillary Clinton preferred diamonds or pearls. When that young woman came under withering assault for wasting time with something so stupid, she said she had wanted to ask about nuclear-waste removal but that a CNN producer had pushed her to come up with something lighter.}}}}

{{{{The scandalous aspect last night is that three Democratic operatives were allowed to pose as “unaffiliated voters” asking questions specifically designed to embarrass the entire Republican party, not just the candidates on stage. Given the fact that it took bloggers all of 12 seconds to figure this out, one has to ask how on earth CNN producers didn’t think to do the elementary spade work of simply Googling the names of the questioners to ensure they met the “unaffiliated voter” standard CNN and YouTube had set out.}}}}

sorry for the double…

This time, from the Washington Post regarding the CNN screwup.

One item I find interesting, is the the left leaning, but mostly factual Post confirmed that Hillary disclosed that that retired general is on her steering committee on gay and lesbian issues.

Yet, she said that he “is not a campaign employee and was not acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign.”

So, if he isn’t an employee (read: volunteer) and he acted on his own with this, then he should be removed from her campaign for infiltrating the GOP debate with the planted question, right? Hmmmm…follow this one to see if she tosses him out.

Fox News just reported that Alan Greenspan’s application for a license plate that read, “ByMyHme”, was rejected by the State of New York, as the housing sector slump knows no boundaries.

Anyone else notice how simple the new fed chairman sounds when he enunciates economic and monetary policy compared to how Greenspan sounded? See the markets react to perceived good news? No wonder Greenspan talked in code, (econobonics, if you will).

I think that the new fed chairman unwittingly manipulating the markets and a price-whiplash effect is taking place putting the entire stock market system in jeopardy. This is the one sin Greenspan went out of his way to avoid.

John Q. Public - The question that I would ask you is whether or not you had ever had an intelligent thought in your head. Liberal thoughts - socialism, universal health care, isolationism and being soft on crime, terrorism etc… does not exactly make you intelligent. It makes you either incredibly short-sighted or what you are implying about conservatives. I have had a few liberal thoughts, mostly in my youth, but they died quickly because I analyzed the issues from all angles and realized the fallacies of those beliefs. I did not so much mind the questions as I minded the fact that they were planted and that it was an attempt to embarass and sandbag the candidates. I also mind the fact that had something like that happened to the Democrats you and your ilk would be screaming bloody murder about the unfairness of it all - just as you did when Hitlery was asked ONE simple yes or no question by LIBERAL Tim Russert.

Go read National Review or the Weekly Standard and broaden your horizons. I do read liberal journals like the AJC and The New Republic, so I KNOW what the other side thinks, and it is STILL WRONG!!!

“What hump?”

The Surge: Sunnis join our side, thus formally splitting Iraq into Sunni vs Shia, (and we’ve chosen the Sunnis in this 10K year old civil war, or they chose us, either way, we are formally committed to fight with the Sunnis against the democratically elected Shia government. That’s the future of Iraq. Remember that in history, irony always rules when you go to war without strategic justification, like our child-president W done went and done, the dumbazz. I know what you’re thinking: How can the 1.4K year old islamic factions have a 10K year old civil war? Because the war is about the inter-tribal connection between more ancient ethnic rivalries and more modern sectarian rivalries. We get the intersecting hate from both worlds! That’s why it was unmitigated fools-play to invade iraq and open up a unending pandora’s box of war between sunnis and shias and all their fifth cousins, you blog-simple pundits who couldn’t analyze a geo-political scenario if your grandma spoke Farci.

Even Mara Liasson, political correspondent for NPR, said she sees a real difference in how media – particularly CNN, but including other media – pose hard questions to Rep candidates that challenge fundamental positions, yet they regularly “softball” questions to Dem candidates, not challenging fundamental Democratic positions or assumptions. That’s the larger issue.

[[To me there is a fundamental difference as regards this upcoming election between the dwindling Bush apologists, neo-cons and right wing Republicans and the rest of the country.]]

That’s what I like about some of your posts – you differentiate. While some see only two broad categories, you recognize “Bush apologists, neocons and right wing Reps” do not include mainstream Republicans, liberal Republicans, moderate Republicans, or socially liberal Republicans. Nice job!

So from that, your following paragraph (implying only a Dem is an alternative) is a bit of a bait, isn’t it? 

[[Bush is claiming that military bases will face steep cuts if Congress doesn’t approve his $196 billion Iraq war funding request…]]

I suppose I shouldn’t be disappointed, as I was not all that hopeful, but I really, really thought that in your links to the most pressing stories of the day you would have a link to the one that broke yesterday, wherein Slovakian authorities arrested two Hungarians and a Ukranian for attempting to sell a pound of enriched uranium – apparently weapons grade – which is more than enough to make a dirty bomb (conventional explosive to disperse radioactive material). The material came for a state which used to be one of the Soviet Republics. Authorities became aware of the danger through (gasp) monitoring emails and cell phone traffic.

I know, that story’s just designed to instill fear. It really can’t compare in importance to, oh, more reminders that Rove’s a bad, bad man.

(((Pakistan: Kayani Begins Consolidating Power)))

(((In many ways, this is not an unexpected move. First, a new chief of the army staff is expected to reshuffle the deck, bringing in his own people to begin consolidating his hold over the military institution. Second, in the last reshuffle — which took place in early October, when Vice Chief of the Army Staff Gen. Ahsan Saleem Hyat and Joints Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Ehsan-ul- Haq retired — Musharraf only made partial changes in the top brass. This also was when Musharraf appointed Kayani as his deputy and successor.)))

(((That said, Kayani’s reshuffle is significant because it will replace Musharraf loyalists with his own, which will lead to the gradual weakening of Musharraf’s hold over the army. Given the critical role played by corps commanders and intelligence directors in the Pakistani military establishment, Kayani will bring in people who will not just help him solidify his position as military chief, but also play a key role in steering the army out of the political crisis and dealing with the jihadist insurgency. His move to replace ISI sector commanders is in keeping with his strong desire to purge the military/intelligence complex of jihadist sympathizers.)))

And Bhutto is now saying she won’t boycott the upcoming elections.

Kayani, a loyal and trusted advisor to Musharraf is appointed by Musharraf when his political stability begins to crumble. He also assists in orchestrating an alliance between Musharraf and Bhutto, who he once served under.

Musharraf steps down as military leader. Kayani finishes the job of restructuring the military leaving signs of no former connections to Musharraf.

Luckoduh, the sad truth of it is exposing this stuff to the loony left doesn’t have any affect on them. Without a moral fiber left in the democratic party, there is no right or wrong in their world. They will simply claim “well, they do it too”, change the subject, and call people names.

We even had one of the einstein posters earlier today attempt to link the FEMA press conference with Republicans; I guess because they ultimately report to Bush??? Does that mean the money in William Jefferson’s freezer is Bush’s fault too?

{{{{“They complain about Iraq; the Iraqis were able to pass a budget. It’s almost completed. Ours is nowhere near completed.”}}}}

The Iraqi “non” government has passed their budget already, the koward democrats in Congress haven’t because they spend all their time whining about the Iraqi government.

Silly as-ses.

Well, at least this one isn’t whining anymore:

{{{{Murtha … is back from a trip to Iraq and he now says the “surge is working.”}}}}

For a great example of what the poll of democrat insane people is talking about, check out the psychotic multiple personalities at play here:

{{{{“They don’t need to do the things—you’re missing the point—because the Pentagon says it, you believe it?,” Murtha yelled. “You believe what the Pentagon says? Huh? With all the things that they have told us, you believe what—I mean, go back and look—‘mission accomplished,’ Al Qaeda connection, weapons of mass destruction, on and on and on, and you believe the Pentagon?”}}}}

That was about the surge not working, just a few months ago.

The difference, einstein, is Christians would gladly tell you Jim Jones was a lunatic and his so called religion was a farce. Where are all the muslims assuring us the vows to eliminate the infidels from the planet are lunatics? I seem to be missing that somewhere. Help us out with that.

While you’re at it, why don’t you explain why the few muslims who have spoken up have received death threats and have been barred from their mosques. And I’m not talking about the mosque in Tehran, I’m talking about the mosque down the street in our own cities. If they’re all so peace loving, why do you get banned for speaking up?

How many of you dumbas-s Code Pinkos on this blog think 100 bucks a year is a fortune?

Can you imagine what their pay must be, some scrawny as-s poverty level pittance that this pric-k Leno blames on Bush every nite?

So folks, come on down to Tiny Tim’s ‘cause it’s not too late to bring in that coupon from the Sunday paper and take advantage of our Build a Burger event!

That’s right folks, this weekend you can choose from among our 27 Farm Fresh ingredients and have us make your own perfect burger! And who knows, if your burger turns out to be other people’s favorite too, we’ll keep the delicious thing on our New Menu and name it after you!

Think of it: your very own signature hamburger right there among Tiny’s World Famous Classics!

Classics like The Thinking Man’s Whopper, a tribute to candidate Clinton’s memorable Tiny visit of 1992, when Governor Bill ate not one, but two pairs of buns with relish, and just the right touch of pork smothered in our signature Down Home Sauce and topped with enough cheese to challenge the fortitude of a Joseph A. Bank!

As with all our burgers, the Thinking Whopper offers your choice of two delectible favorites: dry-aged beef or, a Clinton favorite, fresh Spring veal. Y-y-yUM-M-MM.

When you show your coupon at the door you’ll automatically qualify to win an all-expense paid luxury trip for two to Davos, Switzerland, to attend this year’s Buildaburger Cook-off Invitational!

Imagine the two of you, strutting your taste buds with the World’s top burger builders—giants like John Kerry and Bill and Hillary Clinton rubbing elbows with burger Hall of Famers like Paul Wolfowitz and David Rockefeller!

You’d even be eligible to compete with the very best for Bildaburger Nation’s most coveted award, the Internationalist Cup, “Prize of the Oligarchs”!

Hey Republiscum! It’s the weekend once more. Shine those ugly shaved heads. Slip into your gangsta outfits. Those huge tee’s, ball caps backward, flipflops/sandals. Adopt a “tough” look for your pitiful wife & the unfortunate results of your cohabitation. Talk “tough.” (But not in front of a REAL man.) Check your cell phone - you will want to speak to another deadbeat deadhead before the night is over. Grab those keys, head out to your PU/SUV, spin some gravel, turn up the rap music. (Remember, you’re trying your best to be…black.) Head on down to the sportsbar where the “Big Guys” hang out and talk tough. Rub up against each other.

You’re really serious that Pres Bush has ordered the military to not look for bin Laden and other top al Qaeda operatives?!!?

This just keeps getting better and better…

BTW - if you’re somehow referring to the Tora Bora op, the person to direct your ire against would be General Franks, then the Unified Commander who wouldn’t put more troops into the region. Yup, him. Wasn’t a Presidential decision.

Does the fact he retired, oh, about a month after the Iraq invasion (can you imagine General Dwight Eisenhower retiring a month after D-day?) and then refusing an offer to head the Army give you just a bit of a clue?

W is for worst,

I’ve answered that question for dozens of people on this blog over the years. I’m not sure why you have your panties in a twist over a question you asked somebody else that I didn’t answer for you, but here you go.

I’ll have to assume you’re using 91 as 1991 and when Saddam agreed to certain terms of cease fire. Saddam didn’t live up to those terms and in 1998 Bill Clinton bombed them and signed a bill making it the law of the land that the United States would seek regime change in Iraq.

Back in 1995 the United Nations set up the Oil For Food program which allowed Saddam to sell oil supposedly so that Iraqis wouldn’t starve, but he soon corrupted that program enriching his military stockpiles and held off further sanctions by bribing our so called friends in Germany, France, and Russia. These countries were working to get the sanctions completely lifted against Saddam.

The real tipping point was September 11, 2001 when we realized that sanctions and military containment were not the safety net we had hoped for. When inspectors were sent back in 2002 Iraq was very uncooperative and never did produce the documented proof of the dismantling of the weapons programs and the destruction of any source material.

He was given one last chance by a vote of the Congress and was also given 48 hours to step down and avoid war. A defiant Saddam caused us to attack and end any potential threat from there.
