It's Never Too Soon (Late?) for a Great Idea
<http://pajamasmedia.com/vodkapundit/2010/06/23/its-never-too-soon-late-for-a-great-idea/>
On yesterday's /Trifecta <http://bit.ly/b8WZF0>/ I ran a clip of former
Shell Oil chief John Hofmeister on /Meet the Press/, wondering why BP
and the White House weren't using some imaginative, effective, and
not-too-far-fetched clean-up systems.
Turns out, The Anchoress was all over this
<http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/theanchoress/2010/06/02/cant-they-vacuum-up-that-oil/>
weeks

Peter Principle Proven Pollyannish
<http://pajamasmedia.com/vodkapundit/2010/06/22/peter-principle-proven-pollyanish/>
Forgive the lengthy excerpt, but this bit from Jackson Diehl
<http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postpartisan/2010/06/dont_blame_mcchrystal_blame_ob.html>
is
important:
Rolling Stone portrays McChrystal as being sharply at odds with Vice
President Biden, State Department Afghanistan envoy Richard
Holbrooke and U.S. ambassador Karl Eikenberry. Most of its
incendiary quotes come not from the general, but his aides --- one
of whom resigned Tuesday. McChrystal himself apologized for the
article; he was reported to be returning to Washington for a White
House meeting on Afghanistan Wednesday.
McChrystal's enemies were quick to portray him as out of line and
likely to be scolded, if not fired, by Obama. My colleague Jonathan
Capehart said McChrystal should be ready to resign. But the tensions
McChrystal disclosed were not news to anyone who has been following
the Afghanistan mission in recent months; I first wrote about them
more than a month ago.
Nor is McChrystal the only participant in the feuding who has gone
public with his argument. A scathing memo by Eikenberry describing
Karzai as an unreliable partner was leaked to the press last fall.
At a White House press briefing during Karzai's visit to Washington
last month, the ambassador pointedly refused to endorse the Afghan
leader he must work with.
It's almost as if President Obama has been voting "Present" on his very
own war strategy.
Sorry, Barry, but no matter how unforgivingly indiscreet and
disrespectful your top general might have been, the buck still stops
with you.

It's almost like they lost faith in Bush.
dick thompson <[email protected]> Jun 23 10:02AM -0400 ^
Hate to tell you but Bush has not been president for almost 2 years
now. What we have is Bambi naming the man he dissed while he was a
senator and who he went out of his way not to meet with as well as the
other general he ignored for months and then spent 20 minutes meeting.
Then we hear Bambi telling us he consulted with the generals and laid
out all the war plans. I am sure you just ate that right up. Bambi
the Super Duper General, the man we should all bow down and worship.
Makes me sick to hear him blather on about things that we know he is
lying through his teeth about.

In the first place I have never heard him - ever!! I am not the one
who voted for a fool who never did anything because he spoke nice. You
are the one who inflicted that mangy dog on this country and we will be
paying the price for generations. What are his viewpoints? I know
what mine are but what are his. And when it comes to informing and
conveying facts from sources, the MSM is not very good at that at all.
Looke how they have to keep adjusting the figures. Remember how the
jobless rate was going down - and then they adjusted it and it was
really going up. Remember how the HCR was going to be revenue neutral
according to the admin and the MSM and now we find it will cost
trillions that we don't have. Now even the acolytes are deserting this
admin in droves and you are still out there paddling away like a good
little sheep going Baa Baa black sheep, have you any oil. What a
ludicrous individual you are. Not an original thought in your head.
Just the things you got from the TPM 8:30 AM daily call giving you the
latest talking points to spew - and spew you do.

In the second place, you are so insulated from contemporary news, and
totally unaware of mainstream sources of it, you shouldn't bother
adults with your opinions.
dick thompson <[email protected]> Jun 23 10:48AM -0400 ^
But you keep telling me he does not report news. How am I insulated
from contemporary news. I READ news. I don't listen to news. I am
hard of hearing so listening to news is not something that I choose to
do. Instead I read the words written by all kinds of people and from
that make up my mind. I don't have a leader. I don't need a leader.
That is why people like Bambi make no sense to me. I read what he says
and I can see right away that he is full of s*it. I am just lucky that
way.

I heard OF him. I never heard him or read him or watched him. I am
sure that is a wee bit difficult for your tiny mind to comprehend but
that is just the cross you have to bear. Nothing new for you. Most
of life must be incomprehensible to you.

If you will look closely - I know this is difficult for you but try - at
the bottom is the poster that I quoted - centralcal. It says so
specifically and I put that there to show that this was copied from
elsewhere with theURL of where I got it. That rather kicks you right
in the a@@. As usual you don't know what you are talking about. I
will even copy it here for you to see and contemplate your error in
judgment.

An Inconvenient Rumor: Al Gore Accused of Sexual Assault on Massage
Therapist

Scandals <http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/categories/celebrity-scandals/>
Al
Gore<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/06/an-inconvenient-rumor-al-gore-accused-of-sexual-assault-on-massa/#>
has
had better months. Ever since the former Vice President of the U.S. split
from wife Tipper after 40 years, scandalous allegations have been flying.
The latest? The National
Enquirer<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/06/an-inconvenient-rumor-al-gore-accused-of-sexual-assault-on-massa/#>
says
Gore was accused of sexually attacking a masseuse in Portland, Oregon, back
in 2006, and is named in a police report.
The bombshell
story<http://www.nationalenquirer.com/al_gore_sex_scandal_police_confidential_report/celebrity/68876>
will
include the secret police documents, a
photo<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/06/an-inconvenient-rumor-al-gore-accused-of-sexual-assault-on-massa/#>
of
the woman making the stunning charges and will reveal the details, the
tabloid says.
Alleged proof of the encounter? Pants she saved as evidence.
True or not, this report comes just weeks after Al and Tipper Gore
split<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/06/al-gore-wife-tipper-to-divorce/>.
The*Enquirer* says she suspected he was involved with "a gorgeous
massage<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/06/an-inconvenient-rumor-al-gore-accused-of-sexual-assault-on-massa/#>
therapist."
Well, at least she's pretty, supposedly.
[image: Al Gore Sexual
Assault]<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/gallery/al-gore-sexual-assault/>
*AL GORE SEX ATTACK!!!* *A month ago, if you told us we would report two
stories about the former V.P. getting his freak on, we probably wouldn't
have believed you*.
He's also accused of an affair with Laurie
David<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/06/al-gore-laurie-david-affair-alleged/>,
ex-wife of *Seinfeld* and *Curb Your Enthusiasm* creator Larry David, and a
producer on *An Inconvenient Truth*.
The celebrity
gossip<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2010/06/an-inconvenient-rumor-al-gore-accused-of-sexual-assault-on-massa/#>
tabloid
says the 62-year-old Gore was in Portland at the time of the alleged
incident - October 24, 2006 - and has the $540 massage bill.
No criminal charges were filed against Gore, but Portland police prepared a
document marked "Confidential Special Report" - containing explosive
allegations.
A woman, whose name is being withheld by the publication, reportedly lodged
a complaint "unwanted sexual contact" by Al Gore "at a local upscale hotel."
We would say this is pure nonsense, but it's not exactly loose, vague
wording of the *OK!* or *Star* variety. Besides, after Rielle
Hunter<http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/gallery/rielle-hunter/>,
nothing is surprising.

Now if Petraeus can just get some better ROE.
