It’s Janet Jackson’s fucking nipple all over again.

Fear mongering was used throughout the eight year reign of the Clinton Administration

it was used, but it didn’t work

I’ve never been afraid of a blowjob

and I was leary of buying land in Arkansas before I ever heard of Bill Clinton

I guess being on the West Coast with its time delay sucks…or is that blows?

it would, but …

I generally figure shit out about 48 hours before the rest of the planet catches up

so that lag time gives y’all a chance to catch up

Marcy is about the only person I’ve seen who “gets it” as quickly as I do. That’s why I been a devoted follower since about a day after novakula’s article appeared

jes so ya know …

PS: and the weather doesn’t suck or blow on my happy half acre of the left coast, it’s all good, all the time. that kinda makes the lag time more digestable too

Why are Americans still fighting, killing and dying in “unjust wars”?

7:50 pm: Finds Home Run Derby on mlb.com. Is very excited.
8:20 pm: Visits Balloon Juice to relate the exploits of Albert Pujols.
9 pm: Husband comes home
9:30 pm: “emptywheel was on TV!”
10:30 pm: Husband makes big fuss over remembering “balloon-juice.com” as I close the site
10:35 pm: “OK, what I don’t want you to know is that she said “blowjob” and MSNBC had to apologize. I am not shocked.” Husband accepts this with equanimity. Husband has walked out on “Jersey Boys” because of gratuitous language. I suppose I should also say that this sort of thing is forbidden by the Mishna Berura.

And every time the Clinton administration pointed to al Qaeda as a threat, the Republican majority whined Clinton was “wagging the dog” — to the point where Clinton could not respond to the bombing of the Cole in a timely fashion.

Clinton’s SecState Madeline Albright warned the Bush administration that terrorism was going to be its biggest threat, and they blew her off. Richard Clarke, who’d also worked for Clinton, also explained the threat to senior members of the Bush administration and they blew him off, too.

Just give us all a break from your bullshit charges of fearmongering.

Video of former Vice President Al Gore misleading the public about Iraqs Weapons Of Mass Destruction capabilities.

Fear mongering was used throughout the eight year reign of the Clinton Administration so the Democrats set the stage for both 911 and the Iraq war long before George W. Bush even took office

What if as the CIA you were really involved in propping up Kibaki in Kenya and keeping Odinga out (lets say for some good reasons, although devil and deep blue sea come to mind). Let’s say you were so involved in the Kenya politics and Somali politics and the terrorist group overlays that you were planning some assassinations in Kenya, either assisting US military or assisting/acting through other means.

And lets say you had all kinds of warrantless powers to use against American citizens at whim, with no oversight, and there was this American citizen who might have some ties to Odinga. Maybe a purported cousin or something. If the CIA under Cheney’s auspices was involved with the US military and the NSA in surveillance of the Obama family and Obama ended up being CIC and President — who is going to want to run to Panetta’s office to fess up on that one?

And then there were the killings of the Kenyan human rights activists who were also working with the UN Special Rapporteur on Human rights (Alston) and with Kenyan authorities investigating “extra-judicial” killings.

Oscar Kamau Kingara – an outspoken critic of the government’s alleged practice of extra-judicial killings – was murdered along with a colleague.

…
A UN report last week called for Kenya’s top policeman and the attorney general to resign for failing to address police impunity
…
Two cars blocked Mr Kingara’s car and then “two men emerged from the two cars and sprayed the vehicle with bullets”, eyewitness Jackson Oyelo told AFP news agency.

It’s not likely, but the way Dick Cheney ran things I guess it would be kind of awkward if you were told you were going to be assassinating, oh, say, a “supporter” of the Mungiki terrorists and it turns out that you read the next day he’s a human rights activist who had just met with the UN Special Rapporteur who investigates things like — your assassination of a human rights activist.
