We’ll Have What She’s Having
We need to watch Fox more often. Last night, Sean Hannity lit a huge spliff and passed it around the studio. By the time it reached Dana Perino it was a roaring bonfire, and she could barely keep her hands on the table while she riffed on Fort Hood:
PERINO: And we had a terrorist attack on our country. And we should call it what it is. Because we need to face up to it so that we can prevent it from happening again.
HANNITY: I agree with you. And why won’t they say what you just so simply said?
PERINO: They want to do all of their investigations. I don’t know. All of the thinking that goes into it. But we did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term. I hope they’re not looking at this politically. I do think we ought it to the American people to call it what it is.
Three hits later, she was off on this wild theory about how reality’s just a social construct, dude, and if we all just believe that George W. Bush kept us safe, well, then it must be true.
Perino: ‘We did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.’ [Think Progress]
She is what Carrie Prejeans aspires to.
@Benedick: It increases her hotness factor that she has brains, even though they are wired backwards.
Here’s the thing: even if you disregard 9/11… what about John Allen Mohammed, AKA the D.C. sniper? He has as much claim to the title “terrorist” as does Nidal Hasan. What about the Anthrax letters?
I mean… Perino is so full of shit she must by dying her hair by now.
@Serolf Divad: Go easy on the thinking. It’s not going to make you happy.
@Dodgerblue: Do you suppose she believes any of the crap that spills from her pie-hole?
@Benedick: I doubt whether she even understands any of the crap that spills from her pie-hole.
@Serolf Divad: Anthrax letters were targeting Democrats and the media, so that’s not terrorism.
@Serolf Divad: Don’t know about the Anthrax letters, but guitarist Scotty Ian is working on the Lobo comic book.
@Jamie Sommers: She probably doesn’t listen. I know I wouldn’t.
TJ: This just in – Rushbo decides to cross the line and openly advocate a military coup
This does not end well…
@al2o3cr: At what point can we charge him with treason and have him shot?
As one of the commenters over at TPM pointed out, merely advocating for the overthrow of the government isn’t treason – it’s technically sedition.
The Smith Act is still technically in force, so charges under that might be a (remote) possibility. But I’d wager the DoJ doesn’t want to run around making martyrs for the teabaggers any more than necessary – FFS, they’ve decided Prejean’s a “victim” (apparently being a lying hobag is OK by them).
The bullets would never penetrate the padding.
@SanFranLefty: There have been more, we’re just not hearing about them. All over the country in fact.
@Just Nabisco: Yes, I have heard that from someone who also has some pretty damn good arguments about how the dude that it was pinned on post-suicide wasn’t the one; or if he was involved, he was not the only one nor the brains of the operation.
@SanFranLefty: Fox Mulder and Dana Scully were right!
ADD: catching up on missed Daily Shows. That JoePlugz is a hoot! Next up, Luis Adobe.
We can count the minutes ’till she gets the combo facelift/lobotomy and becomes a nooz-reader on Faux.
