Rolleyes News of The Day

The thing I really dread about congressional hearings is the 24-7 coverage and watching our beloved leaders posture/pose for the TV cameras. It makes me want to throw stuff at the TV.

But it WILL take Anna Nichole off the screen! There's ALWAYS a silver lining 'nStuff.

Speak the truth at the UN... and you will be censored... F... the UN.. Great video.

Human Rights Nightmare

Mr. President,

Six decades ago, in the aftermath of the Nazi horrors, Eleanor Roosevelt, Réné Cassin and other eminent figures gathered here, on the banks of Lake Geneva, to reaffirm the principle of human dignity. They created the Commission on Human Rights. Today, we ask: What has become of their noble dream?

In this session we see the answer. Faced with compelling reports from around the world of torture, persecution, and violence against women, what has the Council pronounced, and what has it decided?

Nothing. Its response has been silence. Its response has been indifference. Its response has been criminal.

One might say, in Harry Truman’s words, that this has become a Do-Nothing, Good-for-Nothing Council.

But that would be inaccurate. This Council has, after all, done something.

It has enacted one resolution after another condemning one single state: Israel. In eight pronouncements—and there will be three more this session—Hamas and Hezbollah have been granted impunity. The entire rest of the world—millions upon millions of victims, in 191 countries—continue to go ignored.

So yes, this Council is doing something. And the Middle East dictators who orchestrate this campaign will tell you it is a very good thing. That they seek to protect human rights, Palestinian rights.

So too, the racist murderers and rapists of Darfur women tell us they care about the rights of Palestinian women; the occupiers of Tibet care about the occupied; and the butchers of Muslims in Chechnya care about Muslims.

But do these self-proclaimed defenders truly care about Palestinian rights?

Let us consider the past few months. More than 130 Palestinians were killed by Palestinian forces. This is three times the combined total that were the pretext for calling special sessions in July and November. Yet the champions of Palestinian rights—Ahmadinejad, Assad, Khaddafi, John Dugard—they say nothing. Little 3-year-old boy Salam Balousha and his two brothers were murdered in their car by Prime Minister Haniyeh’s troops. Why has this Council chosen silence?

Because Israel could not be blamed. Because, in truth, the dictators who run this Council couldn’t care less about Palestinians, or about any human rights.

They seek to demonize Israeli democracy, to delegitimize the Jewish state, to scapegoat the Jewish people. They also seek something else: to distort and pervert the very language and idea of human rights.

You ask: What has become of the founders’ dream? With terrible lies, it is being turned into a nightmare.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Heh... after that tongue lashing, the head of the committee told him to insult the committee with more style, or he'd strike his comments from the record.

Flunky...

Good point.

Maybe congressional hearings are a welcome change in programming. Anna Nichole and Brittany make me want to hate all big-busted blondes.

The idea. To have to pass a basic test to graduate. I find it so enjoyable when shopping and some dumb head cant even make change without a cash register explaining it to them.
Perhaps we can replace those slow arms and hands with some machine as well.

Bank of America Issues Carbon Credit Card

BofaUSA --- Just weeks after marketing a credit card for illegal aliens, Bank of America announced a new carbon credit card that will allow customers to reduce their "carbon footprint" and fight global warming. Customers can use regular ATM machines to purchase carbon credits from poor people who do not use as much energy.

"If I want to use my jet ski, now I don't have to feel guilty about it," said Libby Limo of Hollywood, California. "All I do is stop by the ATM on my way to the lake, and I can use my carbon credit card to have a family in Kentucky stop using electricity for the afternoon in order for me to enjoy life without destroying the world. B of A simply facilitates the transaction and takes a modest 25% fee. I don't have to change one thing about my life, and I'm still saving the planet. Thanks Bank of America."

Cat Stevens... convert to Islam.. gets award for "building bridges"... Ignores non-veiled female hostesses. Sucks, I really like his early work... shame he turned into such a close minded a$$hole.

YUSUF ISLAM IGNORES BARE-HEADED WOMEN

Muslim singer YUSUF ISLAM reportedly refused to speak with the female guides at a German event over the weekend (24-25MAR07) because they weren't veiled - despite accepting an honour for building bridges between Eastern and Western cultures. The star, formerly known as CAT STEVENS, received a special prize at the Echo Awards last night (25MAR07) in Berlin for his musical, social and political work and was praised as a bridge-builder between the West and the Islamic world. However, when the FATHER AND SON singer, 58, rehearsed his appearance the day before the prize giving (24MAR07), he acted rather narrow minded, according to German publication B.Z. When the hostesses approached Islam, who arrived with his management and his veiled wife FAEZIA, telling him that they were his guides, he simply ignored them and didn't even take a look at the women. Islam's manager explains, "Mr Islam doesn't speak with women except his wife. Least of all if they don't wear a headscarf. Things like that only happen via an intermediary."

Ya... we have some idea where the media is trying to go with this...

Attorney Firing Flap: Pete Williams Has Monica Lewinsky on His Mind

Paging Dr. Freud . . .

On this morning's "Today," NBC's Pete Williams engaged in slip that would have made Sigmund proud, so let's bring in the father of modern psychotherapy to analyze it. After all, he's only been dead for 68 years, plenty fresh enough for purposes of punditry.

Williams had scored quite a journalistic coup, an exclusive sit-down with embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Later, Williams chatted live from DC with Matt Lauer back in the New York studio. Discussing the decision by a senior aide to Gonzales to invoke the Fifth Amendment should she be called to testify before congress regarding the firing of the U.S. attorneys, Williams said:

"Congress could try to force Monica Lewinsky -- uh, Monica Goodling, rather, to testify by giving her immunity. But it's more likely they'll simply use her reluctance to testify as another reason to wonder what really happened. Matt."

Matt managed to control his mirth, as did Williams in signing off, but you sensed a nervous chuckle was just below the surface on both ends of the conversation.

View video here.

NEWSBUSTERS: OK, so, Professor Freud. Take it away. What do we have here?

FREUD: Well, I see at least two competing theories here which could explain this phenomenon. On the one hand, it is spring, after all, and we all know about a young man's fancy and where it turns.

NEWSBUSTERS: So, that's it? Sap simply running a bit high?

FREUD: Actually, and upon reflection, no. I do not believe that it is the cause of this particular manifestation. You see, having studied the subconscious of the mainstream media, I have detected a deep-seated hostility, possibly Oedipal in origin, on the part of the MSM. Their animus is directed at Republicans in general, and the Bush administration in particular.

NEWSBUSTERS: OK, but why would that cause Williams to substitute "Lewinsky" for "Goodling"?

FREUD: You are not the sharpest buster in the news drawer, are you, my dear boy? Don't you see? The MSM's psyche was badly damaged by the impeachment of their hero, Bill Clinton. They harbor fantasies of revenge, of a scandal that would engulf the Bush administration and possibly even lead to the impeachment of the president. And what figure -- and please do not read anything Freudian into that term - was at the heart, so to speak, of the Clinton scandal, young man?

NEWSBUSTERS: Monica Lewinsky!

FREUD: As you Americans like to say: bingo!

Of course we know that before coming to NBC, Williams actually worked for •••• Cheney. It might require another session with the good Dr. F to get to the bottom of all this!
