Racist, I tells ya.

Love it. Love it. Love it.

Bush Ratings At All-Time Low

34 percent! Cheney at 18 percent!

Live by the sword, die by the sword, motherfuckers.

During the “Cheney’s Got a Gun” incident, everyone’s favorite falafel, Bill O’Reilly, was fond of saying that the Vice President of the United States shooting a guy in the face just wasn’t a big deal, and that it didn’t affect the lives of average American citizens one bit.

To which I say, Natalee Holloway. Fox News, heal thyself.

(Oh, and the “War on Christmas,” and how brown people will give you anthrax, and Air America’s finances, and George Clooney’s politics, and oh-dear-god-in-heaven whatever Dick Morris thinks about anything.)

Bask in the glory of this bracing rant from man’s-man Guy Adams (even his name is masculine – and check out the ‘stache!):

The secularization of America

If only the rest of the right wing was as honest in their rhetoric.

A MESSAGE TO GUY: It might interest you to know that your celebrity hero, Stephen Baldwin, once starred in a movie called “Threesome,” where he played a college-age male slut who ended up in the title entanglement with both a woman and a gay man. Chew on that for a while.

Bush cultists all over the place are freaking out about the latest Rasmussen poll, which shows that Americans now trust Democrats more than Bush when it comes to national security.

National. Security.

Wow.

Hmm. I guess turning over the operation of our ports to a terrorist-friendly government might not be the absolute best idea after all. Who knew?

Mmmmmm. Chocolate mousse….

Great comment on Balloon Juice from the always-interesting ppGaz, on the UAE port deal:

It’s really the same issue as the Cheney lawyer-shoot story. It’s about the arrogance and fuck-you attitude of these people. The NSA story strikes me as being in the same category. For that matter, the whoe Iraq war is in this category.

These are people who don’t like process, because it gets in their way. They don’t like courts. They don’t like the legislative branch. They don’t like the press. They really don’t like the people. They want to do whatever they want to do, and fuck anyone who doesn’t like it.

When the apologists and the spinmonkeys are playing with their feet and wondering why we “hate Bush”—this is why. This is exactly. America is all about the rejection of the King model of government. These people want to be kings.

Well the latest defense/attack strategy of the Bush Cultists who are defending the UAE port deal is that people who don’t like it are “racist.” Hmmm.

Which means that people like Bill O’Reilly are in effect calling people like Michelle Malkin, who wrote “In Defense of Internment,” racist.

Delicious, delicious irony. It’s like the chocolate mousse of irony. Sweet and creamy and chocolatey.

It’s funny because the Bush Cultists are trying to ignore the fact that people on the right also oppose this deal. They are trying to squeeze their eyes shut really tight and convince themselves that this is just traitorous Commies and their George-Clooney-loving friends in the traitorous mainstream media. But it’s not. It’s Bill Frist and it’s Peter King. It’s Lindsay Graham and Sean Hannity. And it’s Michelle Malkin. Open your eyes, cult members. You can handle it.

There’s nothing better than the rare sight of people on the right tearing each other apart, hammer and tongs. Because when they turn their guns on each other, only little gobbets of flesh are left. You always hurt the ones you love.

Good stuff. On the mark.

Well, that’s Josh Marshall’s take, anyway. I thought it would make a good headline, and intro to his piece about Mary Matalin’s dissembling over the “Cheney’s Got a Gun” incident. He’s got Mary cold.

The thing is, I sort of admire Cheney in a bizarre way. With him, what you see is what you get. Not like Bush, who hides behind a rather absurd hail-fellow-well-met, all-hat-no-cattle sensibility. Cheney doesn’t do pretense. Which is why it was so hard for him to do even the soft Brit Hume mea culpa, which he only did when the Prez leaned on him. I’m sure he honestly believed that he had nothing to explain, nothing to apologize for. He knows he comes off like the Emperor in Star Wars, and he’s OK with that. Good for him.

Well now we find out that the Bush administration is outsourcing our major port operations to the United Arab Emirates, a country with ties to the 9/11 hijackers. Michael Chertoff, who oversaw the many failures of Katrina, and Condoleeza Rice, who was national security advisor during the largest attack ever on U.S. soil, have been making the rounds defending this decision.

But of course they can’t really specifically defend it, because that stuff is classified, you see.

Why does half of the country trust these people? And don’t tell me it’s because we haven’t been hit since 9/11. That’s a false conclusion. Al Qaeda takes *years* between attacks. They wait. They plan. And considering the criminally-negligent security at our ports and chemical and nuclear plants, their job probably isn’t all that hard.

And Bill O’Reilly and Michelle Malkin want you to think that the greatest threat to your security in Ottumwa, Iowa is an undocumented Mexican.

UPDATE: President Bush, who hasn’t vetoed a bill in his five years in office, promises that if Congress tries to block the port deal, he’ll stop that cold. Good job, Mr. President! Protect the hell out of us.

UPDATE II: Shepard Smith on (gasp of surprise) Fox News had the following tack: Hey, since we don’t really search the containers anyway, why does it matter who runs the ports?

Oh and BTW, Bush didn’t know about the sale to the UAE until it was already done. Yep – eye on the ball, that’s these guys.
