One weird-ass weekend for news. We had Joe Biden, who had days previously taken credit for the relative calm in Iraq, attack his predecessor, Dick Cheney, for rewriting history<\/a>. But, that’s what we’ve come to expect from plagerizing, tall-tale-telling Joe.<\/p>\n

The Sam Wurzelbacher (Joe the Plumber) goes off on John McCain for “using” him<\/a>. Somehow, Wurzelbacher, divorces himself from Sarah Palin simply because she’ll campaign for McCain in Arizona, and says of President Obama “I think his ideology is un-American, but he\u2019s one of the more honest politicians. At least he told us what he wanted to do.” Have you been paying attention, Joe? I guess talking head is another thing you shouldn’t try at home.<\/p>\n

Then this morning, the shocking headline that Hillary Clinton has, after thirty years, arrived at the conclusion that Iran is becoming a military dictatorship<\/a>. What was all that shit last year when troops and militia took to the streets and beat the snot out protesters? <\/p>\n

And, oh, did I mention – on the heels of Joe Biden telling us that there are no 9-11-style attacks in our future, John Brennan was out telling the public<\/a> that the recidivism rate for released Guantanamo detainees is only 20% – “not that bad” compared to the rest of American prisoners – even though other American prisoners don’t blow themselves up in crowded marketplaces and fly airplanes into skyscrapers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
