President Bush finally grows a pair: “Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along…”
The intelligent, progressive, enlightened response from the left: Senator Joe Biden, “This is bulls**t, this is malarkey. This is outrageous, for the president of the United States to go to a foreign country, to sit in the Knesset … and make this kind of ridiculous statement.”
As Mark Levin would say… “These liberal democrats are the lowest of the low. Real low lifes.”
I want to believe him. I want to believe him. But they keep negotiating with them, anyway. What Biden says–I wish I could work up more outrage. Honestly, when Bush’s State Department is doing exactly what Bush’s speechwriters attack, how can we blaim the (obnoxious loudmouth) Senator (who has been one of the foreign policy bigwigs a long time) for calling BS?
You’re right, pgepps, but if a Republican were to mouth off like that to a Democrat, sparks would be flying and there’d be calls for his resignation.
true ‘dat. I just find it hard to get up a good old-fashioned lather about the hypocrisy when there’s nothing very exciting to support.
Plenty to be against, I suppose.
Lisa Schiffren had a good comment on Bush’s speech in The Corner
I *heart* The Corner. Yet, I don’t read it nearly enough.
I dunno, I think Bush has had a “pair” since 9/11. He’s been solid on the War on Terror.
I am incredibly amused by Obama’s hissy-fit over this. In the context of Israel and the Knesset, OF COURSE the target was Jimmy Carter. He’s the one who recently met Hamas without preconditions.
But it says a lot about Obama that he considered himself a target of the criticism. Hillary didn’t.
