Bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran

Well, I mistakenly left the dial on MSNBC this morning where Joe Scarborough and his guest blonde airhead (leave brain outside studio...Joe demands it)...Ms. Greenspan, who not only does a fair Mika impression, but a dynamite Ayn Rand impression ("your orgasm is your responsibility Alan).

Today's topic de jour -- "Oh my Gawd, Iran tested some missiles, when do we bomb them back to the stone age?"

Co-starring Pat Buchanan, author of WWII:The Unnecessary War as the voice of moderation!

Which brings me to today's look at how fuckin' lazy I am Firedoglake cross-post:



Ladies and Gentlemen, a self-described foreign policy and national security expert.

McCain, known for acerbic comments and for sometimes firing verbally from the hip, was responding to a report that U.S. exports to Iran rose tenfold during President George W. Bush's term in office despite hostility between the two states.

A rise in cigarette sales was a big part of that, according to an Associated Press analysis of seven years of U.S. trade figures.

"Maybe that's a way of killing 'em," McCain said to reporters during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "I meant that as a joke, as a person who hasn't had a cigarette in 28 years, 29 years," he added, laughing.

*rim shot*

How many flippant statements has John McCain made now about killing Iranian citizens?

There was last year's "Bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran"

Both jibes accompanied by McCain's patented creepy giggle.

I would have titled this post "How a President isn't supposed to talk" but then instantly remembered who is currently holding that title.

Come to think of it, still applies. I think after seven and a half years, people have, indeed, figured out how a President is supposed to talk and it isn't with flippant remarks about killing civilians.

John McCain and his "Insane Clown Posse" of Lieberman and Graham canoodle around the globe together forever decrying the danger of Iran and its members only wearing--non-ruling--President citing the latter's statements incessantly as a potential justification for potentially killing a lot of other Iranians. All while happily obtaining the endorsements of folks who constantly pray and call for the bombing of Iran -- all in the name of the "Prince of Peace". Yet, McCain is supposed to get a free pass.
