And Time's man of the year is ...


... whoa, big surprise here -- George W. Chimpster. Now, will all of you right-wing nutbars who are constantly complaining about that nasty anti-Bush "liberal media" please just shut the fuck up?

Ah, yes, it is entertaining to see the right-wing representatives boldly predict so far into the future that they'll never have to account for their own predictions. Twenty years down the road? One can only hope you have better luck with your predictions than the current administration had with theirs regarding Iraq. Sorry, what was all that about a "cakewalk" and deliriously joyous Iraqis throwing flowers in the path of American troops?

And as for Admiral Bunnypants being man of the year, one can only assume it had nothing to do with actual success or results. Ignoring a painfully obvious warning that Al Qaeda intended to attach within the United States; launching an unprovoked attack on another nation that had *nothing* to do with that attack; Osama bin Laden still at large and making videos; a raging deficit and tanking dollar; 1100 (no, wait, 1200, no, hang on, 1300??) dead American troops in Iraq; woefully underequipped troops and a Secretary of Defense who can't be bothered to sign letters of condolence; environmental neglect; ... My, the list does go on, don't it?

But, hey, I guess we can all take solace in the fact that freedom is on the march in Iraq, right? Oh, wait:

Oh, my. It really still is all Clinton's fault for you people, isn't it? This really is the "not our fault" administration, isn't it? As the commercial goes -- always having someone else to blame: priceless.

Regarding Bill Clinton giving bin Laden a pass, I recommend BIll Press' piece here:

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/10/18/column.billpress/

As Press points out, given how the far right hounded Clinton for getting a little sumthin' sumthin', it's amazing he could get anything at all done.

And as for Clinton letting bin Laden walk, how convenient that you ignore Bush and his band of merry idiots, who let terrorist mastermind Abu Musab Zarqawi off the hook. Read about it here:

or here:

or just Google on "bush" and "zarqawi" for a truckload of similar articles.

As the right wing's hero Ronald Reagan once said, "Facts are stupid things." And pretty gosh-darned inconvenient, too, apparently.

By the way, boys and girls, it's worth noticing a cutesy rhetorical trick pulled by Compelled2Blog (who, sadly, doesn't have the same motivation to be Compelled2Reason).

You see, as everyone knows, the right-wing howler monkeys can't give Clinton credit for the spiffy economy under his administration. Which is why C2B writes, "Newt errrr Bill managed the economy in the '90s much better than George has."

See how that works? If it's bad, it's Bill's fault cuz he was president. If it's good, well, that's due to the Republicans at the time.

These people truly are the "all of the credit and none of the blame" crowd. You may not know where the buck stops, but you can be sure that it NEVER stops with them.
