You're welcome.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWW. From the third comment at that Media Matters piece:
I didn't get to check out this story until just now (9pm), but I heard [Hugh] Hewitt after work(about 5), and he and Mark Steyn were practically going down on each other over this.
I'm going to need an ice pick to remove that imagery.

This Canadian named Marshall McLuan used to preach that "the medium is the messsage." Then there was this German psychologist, whose name escapes me, who preached that "the operational principle of the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies; or, that the sum of each part is less than the whole subject," with kudos to Wikipedia.
You libruls are getting bogged down in what Nancy Pelosi said when what's important is what Nancy Pelosi did.
Forget what she said. The message Ms. Pelosi delivered, by her act of going to Syria, was "there's light at the end of the tunnel."
You're arguing trees; the neo-cons are arguing forests.
And, with apologies, a slightly new thread:
There's been a lot of talk from ex-military analysts on American cable the past couple of days about the disgraceful conduct of the British marines and sailors who surrendered to Iranian Revolutionary Guards, copped to violating Iranian waters and talked about how nice the Iranians were to them. The American analysts recite that American troops are trained never to surrender and, if captured, to say no more than name, rank, serial number and date of birth. This is indeed, as I can attest from personal knowledge, how American troops are trained. The cable analysts are outraged that none of the Brits are getting court-martialed over their conduct.
What this analysis overlooks is that, technically, the Brits aren't actually at war with Iran and the ultimate British policy at this point in time is not to get sucked into a war with Iran.
So the Brits were not, technically speaking "prisoners of war," who had been "captured by the enemy" and might well have been ordered, in the case of a confrontation, not to start a war. Makes sense to me.
Forget what she said. The message Ms. Pelosi delivered, by her act of going to Syria, was "there's light at the end of the tunnel."
That's why, when I follow American politics on the teevee, I put it on "mute."
something about neo-cons shoving entire forests of pine trees up their asses?
"something about neo-cons shoving entire forests of pine trees up their asses?"
You forget the part where they light all those pine trees on fire.... so that all that collective smoke can come a'pourin' out of all those collective.... you know...
And THAT my friends is "Republican NeoCon Talking Points" writ large.
