Lileks on Rice's HarassersI listened to some of the Dr. Rice hearings today. Listening to Sen. Boxer is like having someone pump six gallons of lukewarm tea up a catheter tube. Slowly. It’s like being beaten to death by a moth. The rest of the questions were a bit more adept, inasmuch as they postured and preened with greater skill – but I kept wondering, who’s their audience? Who are they talking to? Who is this supposed to impress? I suppose if you believe that Abu Ghraib is the defining crime of the 21st century, you’re impressed that they’re still gnawing the bone; if you still believe that the solution to Iraqnam is the addition of Russian forces (!) (as Kerry suggested) (!) then this was heartening: truth to power, man. But to someone who is not on the moveon.org mailing list, it’s more of the same. More about WMD, for example. I too deplore the Bush administration’s decision in 2002 to go back to 1998 and plant all those false stories about Iraqi WMD and Saddam’s Al Qaeda connections in the mainstream media, for example, but I’m more interested in what comes next. (And I still, stubbornly, support the decision to go in. He's also annoyed at the Boondocks cartoon. He says "It's funny 'cause it's true!", but I think that's just sarcasm. Thanks to NickS. Not Very Surprising Update: Barbara Boxer had a very different opinion on Iraqi WMD's when Clinton was president. posted by Ace at 03:12 PM

Come on, the best part of today's bleat has to be about the soap. Seriously, that was one of the funniest rants I've ever read. Posted by: Trevor on January 19, 2005 03:44 PM
Lincoln Chaffee was really really gay too. I sat in astonishment as he spent the bulk of his alloted time trying to convince Condi to play nice with Venezuela's mini-castro : Hugo Chavez. (You know, the dictator who sent a million cash to the Taliban just weeks after 9-11.. Just to say "thanks") Question: What animal has the skull of Jim Jeffords, the spine of Arlen Specter, and the genitals of Barbara Boxer? That's right. ---- Lincoln Fucking Chaffee Posted by: Hans on January 19, 2005 03:54 PM
I fucking hate Boondocks - and I'm glad to see that people are starting to see what a racist a-hole the guy is. Sorry about the curse words, but it's the only way to describe how I feel about that guy/cartoon. He's been doing this same awful crap for a while. Posted by: carin on January 19, 2005 03:57 PM
Thanks for the tip on the open hyperlink tab. Corrected now. Posted by: ace on January 19, 2005 04:15 PM
"I admire McGruder’s ability to collect a paycheck for having someone else illustrate a two-word idea that makes the Family Circus look like a chapter of Proust"... Now that is slicing like a hammer. Posted by: Phil Smith on January 19, 2005 04:40 PM
Hans said Lincoln was gay (snicker). Big Excitable Andy fan, Hans? Anyway, the Boondocks cartoon WAS funny. It shows a white jogger jogging in teh cold and snow. The character's comment? "White people." Ho-ho, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ho, ho. whooo-boy, let me catch my breath. Now, how's about somebody make a cartoon of the morbidly obese proles and trolls of the more "dusky' hue (from HD whatever that show is, I just see the letters as I flip past, and yest they show just as many white fatties, that's not my point), and say "Black people"? Oh, that would be just rip-roaringly funny, wouldn't it. Cuz you see, black people are fat because they don't like the outside, or running, or something . . .

Prior posts got it...Chafee is a empty hat. "Let's all think of something nice to say about Iran?" Give me a break. But Edwards (FL) cancels Chafee, both are idiots. Biden was same as always, he's not always right but he's usually funny. Osama Obama is new so he hasn't figured out that the Biden-Boxer posturing is just that, politics as usual. He acted like he thought this was real! What is the deal though with Boxer? She cried at the certification, looks strange, and then came out with this stuff this week. I really wonder about her. I think that everyone thinks they are kind of in the center, maybe slightly right or left. So Boxer, who is so far left she can't see the middle, thinks she is in the mainstream, sort of. She looks at the election and thinks: "Strange, people must not know what I know, there is no other explaination". So, she spends hours going over the same insults to Condi, thinking that people "just don't get it". Hopeless. Kerry was pitiable: "I have a plan". Here is a guy who had planned to be President since he was a teenager and just can't handle the loss. Tears, rivers of tears. Bush derangement syndrome. That red bracelet Dodd had on might have come from the Bellview Home for Deranged Democrats. Posted by: Robert on January 20, 2005 01:56 AM
"....but I kept wondering, who’s their audience? Who are they talking to? Who is this supposed to impress? " Somebody - PLEASE - open up Photoshop and put some fuckin' knowledge into this Lileks quote. All it takes is a shot of Barbara Botoxter addressing her home state constituency in the Senate Hearing Room peanut gallery. I see Babs Steisand, Alec Baldwin, and countless other Hollywood elites sitting at rapt attention as The Oracle delivers her insane monologues. That's her audience. It gets exactly that.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948." Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
