God help us, but this is supposed to be one of their *hard-line* natsec people.

I mean, with a title like: “BRZEZINSKI: RUSSIA’S INVASION OF GEORGIA IS REMINISCENT OF STALIN’S ATTACK ON FINLAND,” (via Glenn) it’s not too much to hope that somebody in the Obama campaign gets it, right? Then you get to the meat. Well, the tofu.
Scene from an Iraqi Mess Hall.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 10th at 02:20 PM |
H/T Instapundit: Georgia on my mind Byline: bob BAGHDAD – Last night in the mess hall two Georgian officers sat down at the table opposite me. The one facing me was a bit disheveled; his uniform top was misbuttoned. It was the kind of mistake you could make if you were in a hurry. Both ate quickly and silently. I wanted to say something, but | Read More »
You know, when you have *George McGovern* writing things like…

…My Party Should Respect Secret Union Ballots – well, possibly the Democrats should start reconsidering that one. (pause) On second thought? Don’t.
Jon Ralston speaks out on his Infamous Obama you’re-on-the-griddle Interview.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 8th at 06:34 PM |
Just noting, with a friendly smile on my face. After all, I quite enjoyed reading this article by Mr. Ralston, as he tried to explain to the entire blogosphere that he isn’t the demon figure / new conservative icon that you’re looking for: I was unaware until this week that I possess a lisp and am a “satanic hack” and a “racist punk.” And then | Read More »
RE: Everything You Need to Know About the War in Iraq
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 8th at 01:12 PM |
Mind you, if we had listened to Barack Obama in the first place, that never would have happened.
Charming.

And easily counterproductive.

BREAKING: Russia Invades Georgia.

UPDATE: An inquiry is out with the White House about what President Bush’s response will be to this invasion of an American ally. Note that it’s 10:30 PM in Beijing, so this may take some time to get. Putin Says ‘War Has Started,’ Georgia Claims Invasion (Update1) By Henry Meyer and Ryan Chilcote Aug. 8 (Bloomberg) — Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said “war has | Read More »
Tremble before the apotropaic fury of the Great O! Dude.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 8th at 07:42 AM |
In response to what, I hear you ask? Why, this*: I figure that I could ask Obama supporters when they were going to start wearing ceremonial articles of clothing, or maybe I could start shouting out “Is there no help for the Widow’s Son?” and “Jacques de Molay, thou art avenged!” at random moments{*}; I might have even made a suggestion that Obama’s real purpose | Read More »
You can start breathing again, Democrats.

It looks like you’re not going to have the anti-Semite winning in TN-09, after all. And thank God for that.
House Oil Party Conference call
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 7th at 06:17 PM |
I was in on the conference call today with NRCC chair Rep. Tom Cole on what’s being called the “House Oil Party.” Some thoughts and questions from it: Rep. Cole started by thanking the right-blogosphere for being on top of this and helping to publicize it (a theme that would be repeated several times during the call). He also made sure to point out the | Read More »
Wow. I hadn’t realized that it stung the Democrats *that* badly.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 7th at 03:44 PM |
First, let’s watch this: Come, I will hide nothing from you: I worried slightly that this would set our conservative base’s teeth on edge. So, I said to myself: “Moe, when you write up this post, you had better include some links of all those Democrats saying some nasty things about McCain lately to make the point that either they were lying then, or lying | Read More »
Got that moral indignation in just under the wire there, Barry.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 7th at 01:43 PM |
Watch the latest exercise in hate speech from Democratic challenger Nikki Taylor – Hi, Nikki! Nothing EVER GOES AWAY on the Internet, you miserable anti-Semite. It’s useless to even try! – against Democratic incumbent Steve Cohen (TN-09) for the context of the subtitle: Nikki Tinker race baits Steve Cohen. @ Yahoo! Video This was apparently a little too public hateful for Senator Obama to ignore | Read More »
Barack Obama shoots Irony in the head, then takes a chainsaw to its limbs.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 7th at 11:05 AM |
Almost. And to a seven-year-old, yet: I mean, I suppose that the fact that a young mixed-race man could advance in eight years from being a minor state legislative official to an United States Senator and assumed Democratic Party candidate for President might be considered by some to be an example of our country’s ongoing decline; I’m just startled that the subset of “some” apparently | Read More »
The Great Obama/GSTV Ad Buy Disaster
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 6th at 10:30 PM |
OK, let’s walk through this. Mistake #1: On Wednesday morning, the Obama campaign announced its new salvo in the energy debate. This one was going to be a deal-changer; IMMEDIATE, UNLIMITED DRILLING… HAH! I kid. No, they announced that they were going to do an ad run on Gas Station TV. If you’re wondering who they are: it’s a company that puts up televisions in | Read More »
Pointing a finger at the enablers of Jose Ernesto Medellin’s execution.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 6th at 01:34 PM |
Never mind that he was convicted of raping and murdering two teenagers (14 and 16); the International Court of Justice and the United Nations both wanted Medellin not to be executed, and what is the State of Texas to argue with them? Well… it’s a State in the USA, which means that it actually has rights that the federal government is not in fact empowered | Read More »
Obama’s doing negative ads and not telling the press?
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 6th at 12:04 PM |
A bit… furtive, don’t you think? Not the first time, either. By the way, Barry: bonus points for attacking McCain as being a supporter of an energy policy that you voted for and he didn’t. Tell me, if we let you sit in the Oval Office for five minutes, spin the chair around, and maybe make a policy call to the State Department… would that | Read More »
Udall’s Oathbreaking on the energy vote.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | August 6th at 11:23 AM |
It’d be accurate either way. I have one difference of opinion with Ed Morrissey about this: the NRSC should get it down to 30 seconds, and set up the full video at its own dedicated website. It’s one of the better campaign slams we’ve seen this cycle, and very good on its own merits – but a couple of minutes of air time is still | Read More »
