    Brit Hume labeling as "ignorant" anyone who says we don't nuke Iran (in reference to Obama) ... it scares me.

    "We're winning in Iraq" -- Bill Kristol.

    Semi-scary.

    They're pandering, slavering idiots, speaking to their own kind.

    The evidence belies the bullshit.

    Still had the TV on Fox after last night's rout.

    I turn it on, and I land smack-dab in the middle of that show, with Juan Williams seemingly the token sense-talker on that panel.

    Now wait a minute. I thought Williams lost all credibility with the left when he defended O'Reilly. How can he suddenly be a "sense-talker" again?

    What does this sentence mean?

    -- Anyone who says we won't nuke Iran is ignorant?
    -- Anyone who says we shouldn't nuke Iran is ignorant?
    -- Is nuke short-hand for "go to war with," or does he really mean nuke?
    -- Is he saying we should just do it now, or if this or if that?

    Okay, prove we're not.

    Links to Mediamatters.com or MoveOn.org aren't acceptable proof.

    The words of the generals and soldiers who have been on the ground are good enough for me.

    The fact that Bill Kristol -- after being proven spectacularly wrong, time and again, on Iraq since 2003 -- is allowed within 50 miles of a television studio pretty much sums up the state of political journalism in this country.

    Bill Fucking Kristol. Jesus Christ.

    As for Iran, too bad our administration blew the cover of a CIA agent whose job was to prevent Tehran from getting nukes.
