The Truth About Sarah’s Ruby Slippers: There’s No Place Like the White House

November 20, 2009 at 8:39 pm (Sarah Palin)

Somewhere behind a desk at the New York Times, someone watched the tape of a very long line of people standing in the cold to have a book signed by an insignificant author. He watched as an old lady shuffled forward with her books. The line is so long. The man at the Times picked up the phone, gave the order to print the story about the ruby slippers, and elected the next president of the United States of America.

Somewhere in New York, a design genius turned out her light and breathed the long sigh of one no longer burdened by a terrible secret, a secret that had helped ruin the reputation of an amazing woman, a woman she had really liked.

Somewhere in a consulting office, someone read the story in the Times and bit his lip. As long as it was only in her book, then it had been ok. It had been easy to say that she was lying again. It had been easy to say she was just trying to blame someone else. But now, now it’s in the Times. The Times! Were had he stored all those emails from the run up to the Convention?

Someone in Katie’s office started hunting for the interview tapes, started reviewing the tapes and the parts they edited, all the parts they edited. If people know that the “clothes story” was all a lie, they were going to start wondering about the rest.

Somewhere on a bus, a little girl is sitting on her mom’s lap having a better time than last year. Mom’s clothes smell like home.

Everywhere in America, people are reading that Sarah Palin didn’t run an Iditarod through Neiman Marcus, after all. Ms. Kline, the New York fashion consultant who outfitted the entire Palin family, has told the true story. Sarah wasn’t a diva who loaded her sled with high-end fashion while posing as an average PTA mom. There really was a brilliant magician who shook her head at the family when they arrived in their, “real-life everyday clothes,” and, after pulling the last pin out and tugging on the last loose thread, sent the altered Palins onto the stage of history.

Ms. Kline described the candidate herself as, “…a size 4 or 6 and very attractive, with beautiful skin, if a bit dowdy before the transformation. She was very, very sweet. I felt comfortable right away with her. She definitely had an opinion about the clothes, but it was a gentle opinion. If she didn’t like something, it was, ‘Oh, I don’t think so.’ ”

The Time’s article is a turning point in our country’s relationship with Sarah Palin. It proves that life really is all about the shoes. In this case, Sarah Palin’s shoes. “If the media got the shoes wrong, what else did they make up about her.”

Unemployment is at 10%. The First Lady’s tennis shoes cost $500.00. Sarah borrowed her shoes and gave them back. The First Lady asked the President of France to keep shops in Paris open on Sunday, even though it’s against the law, so she could go through the $200 sundresses for her daughters. Sarah still pulls smelly fish out of a small family business net every year so she can save money. The First Lady shut down the beltway to buy eggs at $5 a dozen at the D.C. Farmers’ Market. Sarah buys her baby’s diapers at Wal-Mart. The First Lady is seen sporting Fashion Week clothes to commiserate with women who can’t afford to take their children to the doctor. Sarah said, “I don’t like to shop.” One of these women is starting to look like a better model for an America staggering under twelve trillion dollars of debt.

Yesterday, somewhere at the Times, someone with an eye for style made the decision to run the first flattering piece about Sarah down a big media runway. Someone with a sense of self-preservation decided it was time to stop betting on the real clothes horse, and follow the little old lady and the strollers to meet the woman who didn’t really need the makeover.

Somewhere in Ms. Kline’s apartment, the light went on again and the designer grabbed for the notebook. You just never know…the Governor did say how much she hates to shop, and she had looked so perfect for the Convention. She just might remember. It’s cold in D.C. on Inauguration Day. Sarah should wear black…and, of course, the red shoes.

All Journalists Volunteering To Be Beheaded For Obama, Raise Your Hands!

November 17, 2009 at 8:10 pm (Radical Islam, Terrorism, Uncategorized)
Tags: , , ,

On February 1, 2002, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of September 11, cried “allahu akbar,” seized a young American journalist by the hair, and slit his throat. The writer’s name was Daniel “Danny” Pearl, the South Asia Bureau Chief of the Wall Street Journal. This brilliant reporter and fiercely loved husband, soon to be a father for the first time, was beheaded, cut into ten pieces and flung into a shallow grave because he was an American journalist, just like you.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s religious and political convictions are identical to those publically professed by Terrorist Nidal Hasan. Both believed themselves justified by their radical Islamic faith.

Many of you spent the past ten days weaving a veil of deception to conceal the true face of Hasan. Instead of exposing a brother-in-arms of Danny’s butcher, you fabricated a PTSD victim in need of Prozac and Oprah. This is perhaps a good time for you to quietly watch the video of Danny’s beheading. It is time to consider if you want to use your talents to legitimize those who think that severing the heads of journalists is a duty of faith.

What the Heroes of Flight 93 Could Teach Obama If They Sat Together On a Plane

November 13, 2009 at 3:40 pm (Radical Islam, Terrorism)
Tags: , , ,

Dear Friends,

Please allow me to introduce you to a fantastic website
NewsReal, Keeping the Cable Guys Honest

This site is run by David Horowitz. This site, combined with the companion site, “Discovering the Networks” is the definitive formation site for solid political analysis and information. I hope you enjoy it, and come often!

324_todd_beamer

Eight years ago, a young father boarded United Flight 93, waving good-bye to his two sons and lovely pregnant wife, Lisa. Shortly after the plane took off, three radical Islamic Jihadists hijacked Todd Beamer’s plane and forced the passengers to the back of the aircraft. Phone calls made to family told of the horror in New York and Washington D.C. The stewardess, the businessmen, the young girl all looked at each other. They knew they were being flown to a high-profile destination and would plunge to their deaths, killing everyone in their path.

The seamless movement by which the group passed from grasping their peril to declaring their independence is breathtaking. They wasted no time hoping for another reality, they did not lie to themselves. They accepted that, if they did not resist with the very core of their being, they and many others would perish. So they fought and saved, perhaps, thousands of lives, though they themselves did die. Todd Beamer, who never lived to hold his baby girl, breathed the Counter-Terror battle cry of 9-11 America, “Let’s Roll.”

Bush, Obama and Jimmy Stewart: It’s a Wonderful Jihad

November 10, 2009 at 1:06 am (Radical Islam, Terrorism)
Tags: , ,

wonderful life

Following the September 11th, Attacks on America, Leftists found an outlet for Post Election Sour Grapes Syndrome by criticizing President Bush and the War on Terror. The Patriot Act, the War in Iraq, the War in Afghanistan, (remember that Country we liberated from the Taliban in 2002?) every policy was excoriated and criticized. If only the Supreme Court had not endorsed the theft of Al Gore’s Presidency, a Democrat would have been Commander-in-Chief. A calm, “no-drama” diplomat would have directed America’s response to that 9-11 incident, instead of the hawkish, oil-loving, Halliburton-enriching dunce who led the country to War and international humiliation.

On November 5th, 2009 Nidal Malik Hasan, like some grotesque counter-part to Jimmy Stewart’s angelic guide in It’s A Wonderful Life, granted the Leftists their wish to see what America would have been like after an Islamic Terror Attack, had George never been born.

Following the first attack since those of 2001, instead of Bush’s immediate recognition that, “Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom has come under attack in an intentional and deadly terrorist attack,” Obama joked with friends in his audience and asked people to reserve judgment on this “outburst of violence.” Days later, he mused that we, “can never know what drives a man to do such things,” though he met with the heads of intelligence agencies to help him understand the highly perplexing mystery presented by a Radical Muslim yelling, “Allahu Akbar” before slaughtering American Soldiers.

Instead of a resolute leader calling for immediate aggressive measures to protect other military personnel and citizens, Obama’s lackeys cautioned us to avoid nasty reactions against Peace-loving Muslims. Most importantly, instead of Bush’s silly war mongering and Flag-waving, Obama’s former criticism of American arrogance led his propagandists to reflect on what exposure to Iraq veterans might have done to provoke this surplus of stress for their therapist.

Obama, like Clarence in Stewart’s movie, makes the past disappear. The President does this by a sprinkling of oratorical stardust that transforms a Radical Islamic Attack into a bad case of nerves. The first impression of this Bush-less America is enchanting. No disruption of life in America, the Marxist Heath-Care Revolution in D.C., except for a moment of silence, continued its glorious path. No need to even cancel that trip to Camp David and no need to anger the Muslim Community. We have the peace that the Left knew we could have enjoyed, had recent history been different.

But life in post-George Bush America may turn out to be as horrible as life in post-George Bailey Bedford Falls. In the climactic scene of It’s a Wonderful Life, Stewart’s character races in anguish through the devastation and misery of the alternative reality created by his absence. The Liberals who anticipated this era and clamored for its advent, might find themselves desperately seeking for the country they once failed to appreciate. The implacable historical consequences of appeasing Shari ‘a Terror is the spread of Jihad. All the wishing in the world cannot make the necessity of George Bush’s aggressive War on Terror vanish.

The enduring lesson of It’s a Wonderful Life, is that we often do not appreciate what we have until we have lost it. In spite of the mirage now playing on the Silver Screen of the Administration and the Media, Always-Proud Americans do understand the greatness of our Country and know an attempt to destroy it when we see one. We do not have to lose our national “Bedford Falls” or see it radically transformed in order to be grateful for those who spent the last eight years fighting so it would always be here to welcome us home.

Operation Taco Bell: Hey Congress, Would You Like Some Hot Sauce With That Bill You Just Passed?

November 8, 2009 at 1:24 pm (Uncategorized)

fast_food1255712423

It was rumored that my Organic Chemistry professor, a true mad scientist and delightfully eccentric individual, used to reward failed college exams by stapling a Taco Bell application to the tests before returning them to their disgraced producers. His obvious objective was to paint a vivid picture of the future lax students were preparing for themselves by neglecting to study harder.

I would like to suggest that we, the People, offer similar visions to our representatives in Washington of the life they just applied for by passing this Ticket on the Marx Express, “Health Care Reform.”

Let us swing by Taco Bell, ask for a couple of blank applications, and mail them to the Congressmen and Women who just failed the test on Core American Principles. The fast food applications should also be sent to the Republican intellectual dwarves who, by supporting the Stupak Amendment, eased the consciences of Pro-Life Democrats and enabled the passing of the Bill. Three defecting Democratic votes would have saved America from becoming Cuba.

Special applications should be sent to Republican Traitor, Joseph Cao. He is not worthy to serve burritos to American teen-agers. He should work for Burger King.

Jihadi Columbine: We are all Nidal Malik Hasan?

Media and Military Dereliction of Duty: Spinning Like a Whirling Dervish

He was picked on and made fun of by his peers.

He was a loner with few friends.

He spent years listening to the harrowing tales of his patients in therapy, as they struggled with Post Traumatic Stress, due to fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.

He was at Walter Reed.

They were going to make him go to war, him, a soldier!

He just snapped, like all the other American Shooters.

We have to ask what we might have done to cause this.  We must insist that the Army train its soldiers to be kind and not tease each other.

We have to understand that some American Muslims will have a hard time defending their Country against fellow Muslims.

The US Army is doing everything it can to find out what happened and how they can notice troubled officers before they reach a stress point and resort to violence.

This is a teachable moment.

What Part of “Allahu Akbar” Do You Not Understand?

It is an insult of criminal magnitude, to the intelligence of the American people, that the Media and Military collectively present the Radical Islamic Terrorist Attack at Fort Hood, resulting in the slaughter of American Soldiers and civilians, as anything but what we all know it to be.

Any journalist or Military authority who “needs to study the situation to ascertain motive for the shooting,” needs to be instantly fired, perhaps prosecuted for endangerment of America.

So, Army, you were literally preparing soldiers to send them to fight “Terror,” and you don’t know why the man yelling “Allahu Akbar,” tried to murder a roomful of American Soldiers?  I am concerned that you won’t know who to shoot at, when you do get to Afghanistan. Hint…it will be the Muslims shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

We know that Hasan  is a radical Muslim Jihadist.  A former fellow officer told Shepard Smith, of Fox NEWS,  that Nidal had often spoken of the need for Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan to rise up against “American invaders.”  The fact that this “little red flag” went unnoticed by anything with a brain-stem in Post-9-11 America defies credibility. 

So, the Islamic Cleric who knew him did not notice any “signs of extremism.”  The story here is not that Hasan wasn’t, therefore, an extremist, but rather, the American Cleric’s definition of “extremism.”

We are not all Nidal Malik Hasan.  Yehuda Bauer said, “Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.  Thou shalt not be a victim.  And thou shalt never, but never, be a bystander.”

Which one are we going to be, Media and Military, and President Barack Hussein Obama, and Anita Mao Dunn, and you, dear reader, and me?  Perpetrator, by harming our Country?  Or more likely a victim or bystander?  Would we really rather die at the hands of Jihadis among us than speak the truth about the War waged on Americans by Radical Islamic Americans?  Can we justify sending soldiers to die on foreign soil, fighting an enemy we are spineless to destroy here, in Texas?

I do not know how to avoid being a victim, because I cannot take up a weapon to defend myself against the next Radical Muslim who decides Allah wants me to die.  But, even if it is only with a silly keyboard, I can, at least for now, refuse to be a bystander and be silent about the War.  

I am not Nidal Malik Hasan, and Texas was not Columbine, it was the World Trade Centers, it was the Pentagon, it was a field in Pennsylvania.  And Nidal Malik Hasan was not a member of the Trench-Coat Mafia – he was just another missionary of the Religion of Peace.

The Cicero Tax on Congress

November 5, 2009 at 8:32 pm (Congress, Tax)
Tags: ,

billstack

As a proud member of the “We the People” Party, I would like to propose that, starting on November 6, 2009, each member of the House of Representatives and the Senate have one dollar per month deducted from his or her paycheck for every page of legislation they approve, if it is longer than 5 pages.

For example, the PelosiCare House Resolution is 1,990 pages long. Any Representative or Senator who votes in favor of the Bill shall have 1,990 dollars deducted from his or monthly paycheck, each month for the duration of his or her term in office. The Cap and Tax Bill was 1,201 pages long. Any Representative who voted for both Bills, would have 3,191 dollars deducted from his or her monthly salary for the remainder of their time on the Hill.

This new tax law would have the happy effect of forcing Congress to enact little, or no legislation, and, when laws are deemed necessary, those drafting them will take the trouble to say as little as possible. Pork Spending will be eliminated, because the Congressmen and Women will not want to pay for the pages on which the appropriations will be listed.

Cicero once said, “If I had more time, I would have written you a shorter letter.” What is worth saying, and, a fortiori, worth legislating, should be written with clarity and brevity.

I am not a member of Congress, so I cannot champion this Bill. I can, however, promise that any Legislator brave and clever enough to get this passed as a Law, as well as those who vote in favor of it, will never be unseated, should they live to be 1,000!

Obama Names Scozzafava His Reproductive Rights Czarina!

November 4, 2009 at 2:33 pm (Uncategorized)

dede1

In a shocking, pre-dawn announcement, President Obama upheld his end of the bargain, and named D. Scozzafava his Special Advisor on Reproductive Rights, thus rewarding the Republican Candidate for his only consolation in the November 3rd Elections, otherwise a PR nightmare for the neophyte Executive. The President’s call to the Scozzafava residence came right after the “Thank You” from Democrat Owens who, as he put it, “Couldn’t have done it without her.”

“Ms. Scozzafava’s special recognition by Pro-Abortion organizations and her talent as a politcal hermaphrodite make her a natural here in Washington,” noted the President. “We are thrilled to have the kind of Bi-Partisanship that results when Republicans are willing to put principles behind them and move forward.”

HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, while bewildered by Ms. Scozzafava’s overnight appointment, was happy to welcome, as she put it, “a Republican like my colleagues from Kansas who understand the career advantages of not being narrow-minded when it comes to murdering unborn babies.” Sebelius was no doubt referring to the endorsement she benefited from when the sometimes Pro-Life, Brownback and Roberts hailed her Cabinet nomination as, “Good for Kansans.”

Republican Scozzafava is thrilled with her reward. “Anita said I shouldn’t expect a call till late next week!” beamed the GOP pick for Congress. “Here in D.C., I can still give a voice to the victims of the hatred in New York.”

Scozzafava is on the fast track to D.C., since her first mission is to convince moderate Republicans and Democrats of the need to fund the killing of unwanted or inconvenient babies, a minor detail that is stalling support for the Health Care Bills. “Americans need to stop wasting money on reinforcements for soldiers in Afghanistan, and invest in Feticide,” Scozzafava insisted. “Like I told NARAL, I like to think of safe-sex for teen-agers as our first Homeland Security issue!” laughed Dede.

Robert Gibbs, White House Spokesman, pointed out that the throng of Republicans who heeded the voices of Gingrich and Steele and voted for Ms. Scozzafava yesterday, are “a clear indication that the Republican Leadership, in spite of the handful of Far-Right Radicals and the influence of that chick from Alaska, can still be counted on to nominate and fund the type of public servants that advance the egalitarian dreams of great Americans like Alinski and Soros.”

“I was honored to receive the Margaret Sanger Award,” concluded an emotional Scozzafava, “I would have loved to bring her racial-eugenics policies to a greater acceptance in New York, particularly in our African-American neighborhoods, like Sanger did. But I am really happy to find a lot of enthusiasm for her social agenda among the President’s comrades. I am all fired up and ready to go.”

Yes, I am kidding, Reagan Orphans, this is only political satire. But…didn’t you find it just a little too easy to believe?

Yes, Sarah, The Cause Lives.

What the Palin Women Taught America About the Value of a Baby

November 3, 2009 at 4:06 am (Uncategorized)
Tags: ,

sarah-palin-baby-downs-vl-vertical
One of the main reasons Conservatives in New York revolted against the GOP’s choice of D. Scozzafava as their candidate, was because of her position on Abortion. Some Republicans assert that the Hoffman Revolution is about the economy, yet the majority of objections in articles and calls to Talk Radio centered, primarily, on the Republicat’s NARAL rating and her reception of the Margaret Sanger Award, both reflecting her position on Abortion. It is because Sarah Palin is profoundly Pro-Life that she understood the extent of the GOP travesty in asking Conservatives to violate their moral convictions by voting for a woman whose position on these core issues was the polar opposite of their own. While tacticians like Gingrich tried to brush these “secondary social issues” under the rug, Sarah did not. This is a good day to reflect on the very personal way that Sarah Palin brought the issue of Life to the 2008 Campaign.

For those invested in a Culture of Life, two statements made by Barack Obama during his campaign were particularly heart-stopping. The first was when he glibly responded to Pastor Rick Warren, during the Saddleback Interviews, that making statements about Roe V. Wade was, “Above his pay grade.” The second was when he shared with Planned Parenthood supporters that, should his own daughters ever “make mistakes,” he would not want them to be “punished with a baby.” Chilling death-sentence for any Obama grandchildren conceived out of wedlock.

Sometime in the Spring of 2008, Bristol Palin made, to use Obama’s expression, “a mistake.” While she secretly harbored the acute anguish of all young women who struggle in this circumstance, Bristol Palin’s pregnancy included a rare nightmarish aspect, her mother was the Governor of Alaska.

That Governor, Sarah Palin, had been Governor for less than a year when she learned that she, herself, was pregnant. Becoming the youngest and first female Governor of Alaska came at the high price of two hotly contested campaigns. Sarah knew that many doubted a mother could deal with all the challenges of the highest elected office in the state, in addition to those of raising a family, let alone doing this while pregnant, then as the mother of a new baby. In December, Sarah and Todd were told that the child they alone knew about, would probably be born with Down’s Syndrome.

Both mother and daughter, in her own way, faced a moment of truth – so aptly named because such a moment reveals the extent to which one is willing to live according to personal convictions. In such moments, women faced with difficult pregnancies realize two absolutely certain things-that the baby, whose tiny heart beats as their own, will radically change their lives, and that they can decide to bring this baby into the world, or stop its heart forever.

Long before Bristol, Sarah, and their babies were the stuff of which liberals’ campaign dreams are made, these human beings were poised, for a moment, at the center of the most important question facing our Country, the question of the value of a human life. These two women possessed the most “understandable, justifiable” reasons given for a woman to kill her baby.

Though she was only seventeen, Bristol could hardly be ignorant of the fact that her mother’s status would turn her own, highly personal situation into a media frenzy. Bristol knew that she could abort her baby. She knew that a procedure taking less than two hours could save her from intrusive, public attention.

Sarah Palin knew that she could abort her baby. There were already whispers of a Vice Presidential nomination…and the baby, if he lived, would suffer so much…is it even right to bring a child “like that” into a world in which he will have nothing but pain? A short vacation, a very secret clinic far away, and no one would ever know. The baby wouldn’t suffer, and she could go on to a promising career.

Sarah and Bristol Palin reminded America that a baby is more important than anything else. A baby who is not planned, or not wished for, or whose coming is going to disrupt a busy, “important life,” or a baby who has special needs, all these babies are our greatest national treasures, and rejecting the easy option to kill them, in order to avoid the consequences of motherhood, is not above anyone’s pay grade. It is the minimum wage we should all be willing to pay, if we wish to be a lasting civilization.

Both Sarah and Bristol paid dearly for their decisions to bring their babies into this world, especially Bristol. There was no “bravado,” in her public demeanor once her pregnancy became the property of the networks, and yet her clear choice of life for her baby was a thunderous testament to her baby’s value, and consequently, every baby’s value. To his mother, he was worth whatever the cost.

Sarah’s decision to bring a child with special needs into this world argued that babies do not derive their value or right to life from the entertainment or prestige they procure for their parents. A child who will never go to a prom, or dance classes, or an Ivy League school, or even run around the bases, has the right to live out the precious life given to him or her by God. The little face Sarah Palin was proud to show to the nation, as she brought Trig with her on the campaign trail, was bright with the promise of human love that is the crowning achievement of any life worth living.

Except for a few, perverted late night talk-show hosts, jokes about Sarah and her daughters are getting stale. More than that, the personas invented by the media, that of President Obama, as well as Sarah Palin, are becoming porous, allowing the real people to slip through, in spite of the media. While other differences between the candidates were given more attention, none was more essential than their differing views of the value of a baby, of human life. For Barack Obama, Bristol Palin’s baby, Tripp, was a mistake that Planned Parenthood could have solved in a couple of hours. For the Palin family, both babies were brought into the world because their mothers chose life, life that is worth every personal sacrifice, life that is never a punishment, but always a gift.

Pakistani Journalist to Secretary Clinton: How About Those Russian-Funded al-Qaida Recruits?

November 2, 2009 at 3:05 pm (Uncategorized)

hillary
The sometimes autobiographically-creative Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally got her wish during her trip to Pakistan last week, and experienced actual danger. First, she arrived in the country during a deadly bombing in Peshawar, then she faced rapid fire from the first ever all-female panel of Pakistani Journalists on October 30, 2009.

In particular, Sana Bucha, of GEO News, wanted to know exactly what the Obama Administration thinks of the presence in Afghanistan, of Terrorists funded by Russia.

“But are we looking for clues everywhere? Does (inaudible) do they not have any nefarious designs of their own carrying out in Afghanistan, and the losses that the United States suffers at the hands (inaudible). And does Iran have a role? Does Russia have a role? I know for a fact that al-Qaida recruits that are coming from the Turkmenistan-Tajikistan border who are Arabs and they are being funded by Russia. And there is no diplomatic presence in Russia by the United States or in Iran itself. You’ve already said Iran is the “axis of evil”. So do you think you need to do something more on diplomatic terms with Iran and Russia, too, to stop exactly what’s exacerbating in Afghanistan itself?”

Were her concerns at all relieved by this response from Hillary?

“Well, we do have diplomatic – full diplomatic relationships with Russia. I was just in Russia for consultations, and the Russians are helping in Afghanistan. They’re providing support. They’re providing transit. They’re providing the kind of both material and moral support, because they understand the threat that they would face. So Russia I would put in a different category.”

I’m sorry, but, according to Ms. Bucha, the Russians are indeed “helping” in Afghanistan, by providing funding for the Taliban and al Qaida. Madame Secretary, when your friends in Russia told you they would be happy to provide “transit, material and moral support,” did you double check to make sure whose side they are on?

But, even if Russia is a problem, never fear, Mrs. Clinton is hoping for reinforcements from our good friends in, um, Iran:

“With Iran, we are trying to engage Iran. We are working very hard to do that. And it’s difficult to know what the outcome will be. But as President Obama said when he was inaugurated, we will reach out our hand to anyone who unclenches their fist. And we are attempting to do that. I can’t today tell you whether we will have any success or not. But I think what you saw happen with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard last week, where apparently a group came across the border from Baluchistan, means that Iran has a stake in this, too. I really think the world has a stake, and I’m trying to get everybody to work together. And whatever differences we have – and there will always be differences between India and Pakistan, between us and Iran, we all – that’s human nature. But on this big threat of non-state terrorist networks, every country should work together. And that’s what I hope we will see.”

And, just to make sure we never pass up an opportunity to blame President Bush:

“But I also think it is absolutely fair to say that over the last eight years, we have not been as either understanding or as helpful in some of what you are facing. We have been focused on what’s happening across your border. And we know that Pakistan has a strong ability to fight for itself. At this point, the people of Afghanistan do not. So we want to be more understanding and more cooperative to support you in what you are trying to do. It’s not just us. It is us together.”

I don’t know about you, but I feel much better now.

Take home lessons for the ladies of the Pakistani media: The Russians and, with a few more beers around the picnic table, the Iranians are in this fight with us against Terrorism! And you know, there’s nothing like Marxists and world-renowned Holocaust Deniers to bolster support for a war against Radical Islam.

My advice to Female Journalists in Pakistan, make sure you have quiet shoes that look good with a long blue burqa!

Please see the entire interview here.
