In light of the lurid sex Gregory is involuntarily having with Scott McClellan's bleeding anus on national television, daily, I think Bush misunderestimated Mr. Gregory. From what I see, he's quite the pitcher, and Mr McClellan quite the pillow biter.

You do appreciate the rich comedy in your citing as an example of Bush's alpha maleness, and ability to drum down a press reporter, an exchange in which Bush uses a non-existent word.

Whether Bush committed some sort of copyright infringement or defamation is something I'll leave up to the good folks at Intercontinental Hotels.

We need to find a sugar daddy to pay us to debate some shit on here too.

You can't be this dumb. No way is that paid, or even a full-time thing. It was a bunch of law professors doing it on their free time so they can add the committee membership to their CVs and use it as fodder for yet another law review article that no one will read, in hopes of getting tenure at the third-rate law school sunny went to. Or, if higher status, because they can lord it over the lower status people on the committee who want tenure or want to cowrite an article with the higher-status person.

Well that's all fiery and cute but I don't think you actually believe Rove made his point (however weak or strong you think it was is irrelevant) to the reporter in order for the reporter to turn around and place Plame's safety in jeopardy by telling the entire fucking world that Plame is an undercover operative. Any idiot would know that plan would backfire on him and surely Rove knew Time Magazine wasn't exactly going to help him out of any resulting mess. In my view, Rove should be canned for mentioning Plame because in the end, the word got out to the general public about Plame. It's the right thing to do. He got had. Fucking Time Magazine. What was he thinking?

But any publisher that allowed his/her paper to out to the general public information about Plame should be stepping down as well.

That's right, we should stick to legitimate news organizations like WaPo who employed Janet Cooke who made up stories that her editors submitted for Pulitzer consideration, the NYT, who didn't bother to fact check Jayson Blair, or CBS, nuff said.

It's a word, just not the right word. Which makes the user sound like an idiot who wants to use a big word but doesn't actually know what it means . . .

intercontinental
1 : extending among continents or carried on between continents
2 : capable of traveling between continents <intercontinental ballistic missile>

Maybe he was calling him a fattie, like he was extending from Europe into Africa or Asia, or from North America to South America.

On a related note, sorta, is it really possible to fly a bombing mission from the US to Europe without landing? I mean from the central part of the US to Eastern Europe, eg Bosnia.

Maybe he was being a smart ass. Regardless, from here on out I am using "intercontinental" as a deragatory term indicating a faux-Euroslob-wannabe effette leftist punk.

This is a justification for closing a lot of the U.S. airbases around the world. If I recall correctly, a number of bombing missions on Baghdad were launched from U.S. Bases.

And Aircraft carriers are for the smaller fighter fighter/bomber planes.

If you want to find out whether the Washington Post was "dressed down," I'm not sure the Washington Times is the place to look for an objective opinion. You could just read the transcript on the White House's web site:
  • PRESIDENT CHIRAC: Last question, for the American press, maybe?

    Q You said in reaction to demonstrations against you and your administration during this trip in Europe that it's simply a healthy democracy exercising its will, and that disputes are positive. But I wonder why it is you think there are strong -- such strong sentiments in Europe against you and against this administration? Why, particularly, there's a view that you and your administration are trying to impose America's will on the rest of the world, particularly when it comes to the Middle East and where the war on terrorism goes next?

    (Asked in French.) And, Mr. President, would you maybe comment on that?

    PRESIDENT BUSH: Very good. The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental. (Laughter.)

    Q I can go on.

    PRESIDENT BUSH: I'm impressed. Que bueno. Now I'm literate in two languages. (Laughter.) So you go to a protest, and I drive through the streets of Berlin seeing hundreds of people lining the road, waving. And I'm -- look, the only thing I know to do is speak my mind, to talk about my values, to talk about our mutual love for freedom and the willingness to defend freedom. And, David, I think a lot of people on the continent of Europe appreciate that. Appreciate the fact that we're friends; appreciate the fact that we've got -- we work together; that there's a heck of a lot more that unites us than divides us. We share the same values; we trade $2 trillion a year. I mean, there's -- so I don't view hostility here. I view the fact we've got a lot of friends here. And I'm grateful for the friendship. And the fact that protestors show up, that's good. I mean, I'm in a democracy. I'm traveling to a country that respects other people's points of view.

    But I feel very comfortable coming to Europe; I feel very comfortable coming to France, I've got a lot of friends here.

    Q Sir, if I could just follow --

    PRESIDENT BUSH: Thank you.

    PRESIDENT CHIRAC: Look, the demonstrations you've been referring to, sir, are indeed, as the President has just said, healthy and normal in democracies. That is one of the means of expression that people have. And it's only normal and important that people should respect that. Of course, there are limits, there are constraints that have to be enforced, and that is what is being done. But I think that it is only normal that, in the face of a very important political event, those who have a different understanding of things should express their diverging view.

    The right to demonstrate is a fundamental right intertwined with democracy. And there's no need to tell Americans about that, they know it. But what I just wanted to say is that these demonstrations are really marginal demonstrations; that you shouldn't give too much credit to these demonstrations. They do not reflect a so-called natural aversion of such-and-such a people in Europe to the President of the United States or to the U.S. people as a whole.

    Yes, we do have diverging views on this or that issue; it's only normal. And that is the result of interests, of our national interests, and they're not always converging. And I think it's only healthy that these demonstrations should occur, that we should express our diverging points of views, and that we should find democratic answers to these questions.

    As for the relationship between Europe and the United States, it is a very old relationship, as you know. It is a fundamental relationship for the balance, for the equilibrium of our world. But I would also add that it's an increasingly important relationship and it's -- it would be the sign of short-sightedness to refuse to acknowledge that.

As you see, Bush cut off the question to Chirac, but Chirac eventually answered it.

You'd still need air craft carriers for fighter/ground support. Just because you can bomb someplace halfway around the world doesn't mean that that's always the best way to do it.

Ty, please, Gregory got the smack down from the CinC. Chirac's response doesn't mitigate the sting, it is just illustrative of the fact that the French have no manners or sense of social decorum either. They also have questionable hygeine, although I am not sure that is in evidence in the situation at issue.

Dear soon-to-be-unemployed-and-homeless-libeller:

We represent the interests of animal superstar Flinty McFlint. It is most regrettable that you have chosen to smear Mr. McFlint in an actionable manner through the linking of Mr. McFlint's image to a story in the press regarding stem cell research performed upon the monkey race.

Mr. McFlint is an avid supporter of the sciences, largely through his generous donations to foundations the world over. So you know, he also supports your "debates" "here" through the donations of vast winnings obtained through sucker bets. But, most emphatically, he does NOT support the sciences through participation in lab tests, as your smear attempt suggests.

We understand that Mr. McFlint is in possession of various photos (some including depictions of animals, some not) in which you may have some interest. If you immediately cease and desist these libelous statements, we may be able to convince Mr. McFlint to cease construction of the website dedicated to the publication of these photos, and otherwise refrain from pursuing all other remedies available at law and equity.

Well, more specifically that more people now smokemarijuana, but yeah, that too.

But, ultimately, yes, my point was that this is the correct outcome (meaning people with more information making better informed choices) of broader drug education - despite the fact that the drug "education" the G sponsors isn't. There was probably some secondary point about the benefits of improved access at reasonable price (due to increased market efficiencies), but whatever.

None of which had much of anything to do with his original point about sex ed; I was just riffing on it. If anything I was mocking the comparison of sex ed and drug propaganda.
