Uppity...!

"Charlie, again, we've got to remember what the desire is in this nation at this time. It is for no more politics as usual and somebody's big, fat resume maybe that shows decades and decades in that Washington establishment, where, yes, they've had opportunities to meet heads of state."
Sarah Palin ABC 9/11/08

The problem is Sarah, you're not running for President of The United States, the 'big, fat resume' with 'decades and decades in that Washington establishment' is!

Remember your place young lady... you're religious right eye candy, nothing more.

Foreign Policy

The good General believes that 'victory' in Iraq is a chimera, no... honestly, read it yourself. He will never declare victory in Iraq!

One word Mr. McCain... Lipstick!

But, just who are we fighting in Iraq and why is the situation so 'fragile'? Juan Cole believes Al Qaeda, or at least the Al Qaeda of 9/11 is finished. Read the whole thing.

To paraphrase Ms. Bankhead in 'Die, Die My Darling'... "Lipstick, Lipstick, go immediately upstairs and wipe that filth from your face!"

Couple the above with Matt Yglesia's post on Kagan The Terrible and you have a pretty good handle on where Republican foreign policy went and continues to go wrong. It's based on the presumtion that all conventional wisdom, all knowledge really, is worth only two grains of salt compared to the might of neocon prejudice.

That neocon foreign policy is merely lipstick on a pig and a stuck pig at that, is irrelevant to them.
