The "Realists"


So, Mr. Straight Talk's displaying his forked tongue, and the only real question will be how much of a free ride the media gives him, both in airing his crap allegations and in denigrating any Obama response. Because, after all, the media's got a forked tongue, too.

I mean, cmon: any sane, rational fourth estate would've already consigned Straight Talk to history's dustbin after exercises in extreme stupidity like his stroll through the Baghdad market (not to mention his endorsement of a one hundred year occupation--or longer--which at present rates would only cost us about about 12-15 TRILLION dollars, 100,000 dead, and 6 million wounded...well, at least as long as the surge "keeps working" and the army doesn't collapse.)

And then there's Joe, Johnny Mac's trusty sidekick:

Lieberman likes expressions of American power. A few years ago, I was in a movie theatre in Washington when I noticed Lieberman and his wife, Hadassah, a few seats down. The film was "Behind Enemy Lines," in which Owen Wilson plays a U.S. pilot shot down in Bosnia. Whenever the American military scored an onscreen hit, Lieberman pumped his fist and said, "Yeah!" and "All right!"

So...Reaganesque. That is to say that, like Reagan, there's a certain confusion of movies with reality...
