Red, Purple or Orange, Andrew?

In what has to be the most suck-up, sycophantic rendering of verbage since Joseph Goebbels gave speeches for the Nazis in Nuremberg, Sullivan pens a paen to Fearless Leader that will stand as one of his finest pieces of Hackery ever.

Shorter Version: Bush is responsible for Nothing. Bad Shit Happens To Good People.

It's worth a read to try and decipher whether this was a reproduction of a Rovian Blast-Fax or the Original Version. All the bad things that happened in Iraq are not the fault of anyone in the 1600 Crew. The war was entirely justified because well, Saddam Bad, America Good. Fighting the Ba'athists was like premature ejaculation; the end came too fast, and now we're getting burned by the 'afterglow'. The lack of Post-war planning was not the fault of the 1600 Crew. And the Media want the whole charade to fail, because they want the 1600 Crew occupation of DC and America to end (evidence to the contrary notwithstanding). Saddam, well, he might have done business with Al-Qaeda, because Sully thinks that it might have happened, completely disregarding the fact that Saddam brooked no rivals in or out of Iraq for his own imperial intentions in mid-east politics.

If his readers pay money to read this apologist, ignorant shit, then I'd love for some of them to send their money to me, Roger Ailes, Atrios, Waremouse, Logan Circle Guy, Jesse at Pandagon and of course the incomparable SullyWatch (sorry Bob/DH); we'd be more than happy to take free money from morons and declare it at tax-time. We can make shit up too, and it would seem far more credible.

Shorter Version: Bush is responsible for Nothing. Bad Shit Happens To Good People

Kimmit the frog said 'bad people party too' when he explains the valid target of the wedding bombsite.

Maybe it was a fighter, the idea of getting laid before you go to die for Allah thing or something... still the way these guys push the line on it just inspires more violence.

Bad stuff to good people, or bad people party and marry and enjoy good things.

Family values FUBAR, courtesy of the Bush league...

As for made up, Marc Perkel Rantz is out there. Came across him in the kerry blog. Has a semi valid sounding take on the berg that coincides the entire 'whistleblower gets whacked' theme.

If you can get past his pic of McCain blinking nonstop on his animated page the story please check it out. Need to confirm my all nighter foil hat episode occurred and found valid info.

Ideology above all else.

This administration is remarkable in its inability to account for facts when executing its twisted foreign policy. Bush's speech last night - - effectively 'stay the coursse' - - assures the world that nothing has changed

Mr Sullivan favors this Iraq fiasco, clearly. I do not. The facts go in, the facts come out, the facts go in and wriggle about. But the only thing that is truly clear in all of this is that the US regime is the source of all of the failures. Too few troops were sent in, contrary to the wishes of the military, and so our ability to hold the country has fallen flat on its Rumsfeld. It appears the Sec'y of Defense simply did not trust the military's assessment of the numbers needed. While I can appreciate the notion that the constant undeclared little war going on in the no-fly zones was wearing and produced no good result, I think that was what made these decisive "adults" really go off the deep end and start this fiasco. They couldn't stand the notion that Hussein was still standing up to the US. It violated their sense of arrogance.

Oh,come on.The latest Sully rant is nothing,nothing compared to this breathtakingly cynical post from last year,defending the so-called "flypaper strategy" of turning Iraq into a shooting gallery between foreign terrorists and American troops.

Sullivan on "flypaper" last September:

"The extra beauty of this strategy is that it creates a target for Islamist terrorists that is not Israel. A key objective of the current U.S. strategy is to show that Israel is not the fundamental cause of instability and mayhem in the Middle East - but a victim of the same kind of pathological religious extremism that has destroyed Iran, brutalized Afghanistan and blackmailed Saudi Arabia. Before the Iraq war, the U.S. could do little to counter these maniacs directly. Now they have a theater of war - and it isn't the West Bank." (End Quote)

me:Of course,this means that Iraqi people are to treated as guinea pigs in a gigantic anti-terror experiment - and like guinea pigs,some of them will inevitably die in the process.

Wow. Never saw that one before. Just...just...wow. And hey, that makes the US the source of instability in the region. Yay for us! Now, what accounts for the instability in Mr Sullivan's mental processes? Sun spots?

So let's see: ShrubCo isn't particularly bothered by homosexual sadomasochistic torture in Abu Graib (he's bothered by the PR, but not enough to actually *fire* anyone)

But if an iraqi man and woman want to get married to each other, why MOAB their asses all over the desert. That'll teach 'em!

Bush: defending the family since....er, nevermind.

(BTW, this meme is occurring spontaneously all over blogistan, w/accompanying retches of disgust and wondering when it will become public knowledge.)

Andrew Sullivan: proof that not only is power the ultimate aphrodisiac, it's the ultimate intoxicant too!

Perhaps it isn't so much an intoxicant as a deleriant.

Sully- power is a flatulent, enough hot air already.

Sully's "flypaper" theory is toilet paper.

Shorter Sully- Iraqgate Good, prosac bad.
