Things I’d Like to Post About Today ….. (091708, Morning)
….. But I Don’t Have Any Time For (as ‘Net access continues to be subject to the ability to wander):
- National treasure Michael Ledeen, about “The One” I refer to as “Mr. BOOHOO-OUCH” (Barack O-bombaOverseas Hussein “Obambi” Obama - Objectively Unfit Coddler of Haters) — “Maybe It’s Obama Who’s Too Old to Be President.” Definitely old ideas — “Obama’s political ideas have aged, which is why they have no policy saliency. They’re just words, fossilized remnants of a civilization that no longer exists.”
- Why Obama had to ‘fess up to his attempted hijacking of US foreign policy “The three problems, according to campaign sources: The report was true, there were at least three other people in the room with Obama and Zebari to confirm the conversation, and there was concern that there were enough aggressive reporters based in Baghdad with the sources to confirm the conversation that to deny the comments would create a bigger problem.” Busted.
- LGF, based on an Open Secrets link that appears to be getting overloaded — “Barack Obama is the second biggest recipient of political money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the last ten years. And he’s only been in Washington for four.” That’s lobbying money you can believe in. Around here, Fred and Fan are now known as Fredron and Fanron.
- Charles Martin’s Palin rumors and lies list is up to 82. #81 is a howler — “Sarah Palin doesn’t think that dinosaurs walked the earth with Adam and Eve 4000 years ago, In fact, this was a purposeful satire that comes from a post actually entitled Fake Governor Palin Quotes. This has, however, kept neither Matt Damon nor Maureen Dowd from propagating them as fact.” Minor quibble: Dowd, who has been in full witch mode since the Palin nomination, actually said 5,000 years.
- Obama falsely claimed that he came up with “the basis for a bipartisan stimulus package that passed the Congress.” Jake Tapper at ABC debunked the claim (HT Ed at Hot Air), and noted that he didn’t even show up for the vote. John McCain did.
