Again I have to highlight my favorite cartoonist, Michael Ramirez. He’s got a real gem today, and it encapsulates completely what the Democrat congress knows about the country Turkey.
This would be truly funny if it weren’t so frightening. The defeatocrats truly have not one single clue when it comes to foreign policy. If they did, would did so many of them go visit Bashir Assad?
Courtesy of our hilarious friends at RedStateUpdate. Due to the recent hysterical advice for Homeland Security staffers to get Hepatitis A & B vaccines, as well as vaccines for tetanus, diphtheria and influenza before they attended NASCAR events in the south, I’ve been waiting for a good way to make my point, but againt our buddies go one even better.

Don’t ya just love it?
I’ll let Rush speak for himself. He’s auctioning off the original letter than Dingy Harry and his Defeatocrat co-horts signed and sent to the CEO of Clear Channel Communications.
You can see the eBay auction here.
What a pinhead. Bill Maher takes on the subject of Barack Obama’s recent proclamation that he will not wear an American Flag lapel pin for whatever his reasons were.
Bill Maher not only berates those who would wear the Flag lapel pin, but continues on to deride Sean Hannity for what he calls “no-pin-gate,” and calls the flag pin nothing more than a brooch. Here’s a partial transcript:
…and then they cover to people like Sean Hannity, who reported on No-Pin-Gate, and then had to call a doctor because his fake outrage hard-on lasted longer than 72 hours.
Oh, yes, Halliburton, Bechtel and Blackwater come up in his rant, as well as Larry Craig, Mark Foley and others. Not to mention, he says, that ‘gay Republicans’ would still be obsessing about the ‘blow job’ Bill Clinton got. Has Maher no shame? Wait… that question needs no answer.
Watch his “new rule” here.
Oh, geez… where do I begin? It’s that crazy privatization again that’s oh-so-evil. Again, Tucker goes to bat for Blackwater, and some very interesting exchanges take place.
Here’s a portion of the transcript, in which Blackwater is referred to consistently as mercenaries (except for Tucker):
Carlson: You can’t go anywhere in Iraq without them. You have to have them. The military is not going to protect you. And so if you want to deliver air conditioners or feed people or get up the phone lines, you have to have them.
Krugman: These guys have been a problem from the beginning, right?
Carlson: No.
Krugman: We basically lost any chance of a good outcome in Iraq in March/April 2004, and it was because a Blackwater mission went wrong in Fallujah.
Excuse me? A Blackwater mission went ‘wrong’ in 2004? Four contractors were killed, tortured, dismembered, burned and hung from a bridge in Fallujah! WTF is Paul Krugman talking about? Did he go to the Daily Kos “Screw them!” school of etiquette?
Tucker takes Krugman on further:
Carlson: Who protects your bureau? Who protects the New York Times’ bureau in Baghdad? Because the military is not going to. You wouldn’t have reporters there if it weren’t for private contractors.
Krugman: Well, we’re not worried about the New York Times…
Carlson: Well, I’m worried about it. They give…they let Americans know what’s going on there. Without private security contractors they couldn’t be there.
Krugman: But what I’m worried about is why does the U.S. Government continue to employ mercenaries there?
Carlson: But it’s not just them.
And Tucker continues the attack:
Carlson: I think we should make the New York Times live up to Mr. Krugman’s own standards. If we’re not allowed to hire…
Krugman: Come on, you know that’s an idiotic argument.
Carlson: No, it’s not. And I’ll tell you exactly why. I was in Baghdad in 2003 in January…
- crosstalk –
Carlson: If you don’t have private contractors in Iraq, you will get killed.
Krugman: I don’t mind that the shopping mall has private security, but I don’t expect the township of Princeton hiring mercenaries.
Carlson: But it’s not Princeton. See that’s the thing. You haven’t been there so you don’t know. It’s not Princeton. It’s really dangerous and you can’t go there without them PERIOD! The military will not protect you. You can’t… look… (exasperation)
