John Simpson - BBC DegenerateHere is the latest missive from BBC dickhead John Simpson. Faced with the horror of seeing Saddam on trial rather than George Bush, he does his best at spinning the BS. He will presumably defend himself by pointing out that the Americans and British, who later overthrew him, were only too happy that he invaded the newly established Islamic Republic of Iran, following the overthrow of the Shah - Britain's and America's ally. Brilliant! The world's biggest pacifist putz Jimmy Carter gave good old boy Saddam the wink wink nudge nudge for invading Iran! Maybe he just forgot his calendar and thought Reagan was already in office. Then this mental midget goes on to conradict himself, practically in the same breath! How about this for inconsistency? The resistance movement has gone from strength to strength ever since the attack on Falluja, and though Tony Blair was wrong to think it might drive the coalition out immediately, the Americans and British have been on the defensive ever since. Then 2 sentences later... Six months ago, that road was the most dangerous in the country, with car bombs going off virtually every day. The fact that British citizens are forced to pay the salary of this 21st century Lord Haw-Haw is pathetic! posted by Tanker at 12:35 PM
CommentsActually, I've heard that Jimmy Carter encouraged Saddam to invade Iran from other sources, notably Christopher Hitchens: http://www.slate.com/id/2080237 Posted by: S on November 28, 2005 01:14 PM
Sorry Tanker, I think you cherry picked some quotes there. Not quite Dowd-ified, but close. Here are the missing two sentences, plus some after.. "Still, as our helicopter flew over the road from the airport to the centre of town, there was one success the Americans could claim here. Six months ago, that road was the most dangerous in the country, with car bombs going off virtually every day. Now there are scarcely any attacks at all. The Americans have brought in Iraqi soldiers, who check every vehicle. Yet the overall level of violence in Baghdad has scarcely been affected. The bombers have headed elsewhere, to find easier targets. As we came down over the Green Zone, the loadmaster pointed to the far bank of the Tigris River. "That's bad guy territory," he shouted. True enough, but large parts of Baghdad now qualify for that description." So he's really not so inconsitent. He was just talking about a single road from the airport to the center of town.

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED from anon2020 So what, she quit? Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know. NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category. Thanks to Mark1971
Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too. I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
Sh0eOnHead discusses the Psychotic Cult of Lindsay
Real quotes: "This case has me feeling like I'm on Law & Order with you guys!" "We literally binge true crime as a hobby, we've been trained for this moment" Worth the watch. If you haven't seen the genuinely upsetting insanity motivating thousands of women, you should watch this just to see how society is crumbling. Ban TikTok, Trump. I don't care if Barron tells you it's popular with the yutes. It is an evil Communist China op and it is driving women insane.
Dolly Parton tells the story of the supposedly real-life Jolene
As Andrew Branca says, can we see this Jolene, finally? Who was this hottie that was a genuine sexual threat to Dolly Parton? I think this is Fake News personally. When a magician claims he learned a trick from a Himalayan wise man, I don't believe him either.

Breaking news: Dolly Parton had a real pair of 38s
Or at least one. She carried it everywhere for protection. This joke brought to you by Benny Hill. And speaking of the British: The Buckingham Palace guard tributed her yesterday
Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.
1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show. She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
