Rats, Dolls, and Rails
Andy Card, the man at the epicenter of the Iraq War intelligence fiasco and the Valeria Plame Affair, is leaving the White House.
Like rats off a sinking ship, as I’ve said before.
Andrew Card’s replacement, of course, is every bit as promising as his predecessor. The budget director presided over a deficit explosion.
And in more amusing news, Sean Penn has a small plastic doll of Ann Coulter he abuses when angry. Don’t get too close to him, Ann. Sean has a fiery temper! “There are cigarette burns in some funny places,” he says of the doll.
He also has some choice words for the pundit: “She’s a pure snake-oil salesman. She doesn’t believe a word she says.”
I beg to differ, Mr. Penn. She has previously said she means every word she says. While we can speculate as to her motives, why bother? She preaches hatred. Maybe just to sell books. Does it matter whether she’s a bigot or a liar?
And more news that our president has failed to protect us. Port security? Rail security? Anyone? Where is this War on Terror? Oh, I forgot. We’re fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here, or protect our ports, rail lines, or borders. Foolish thinking like that is a pre-9/11 mentality, despite what the 9/11 Commission says. What do they know about terrorism?
