Bitch-Slapped!; Mr. Irrelevant; World (Joke) Bank

1. This is almost always a family-safe site. I'm just smart enough that I don't need profanity or crude language to make my points, but today, because it is so damn appropriate, I'll use the current-day U.S. vernacular to describe what Presdent George W. Bush just did to Senate Democrats: bitch-slapped! How does someone so "dumb" trounce people that are supposed to be so "brilliant" (Sens. Clinton and Kerry, for two)? Bitch!-slapped!

What are the chances someone in the liberal media asks one of the liberal extremists that was "swept into office on a wave of anti-war sentiment" if the liberal extremist didn't hear the people last November?

2. In direct response to a question from a Commenter from my last post, I give you an excerpt from The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand:

Ellsworth Toohey (representative of liberal extremists and secular progressives): "Why don't you tell me what you think of me?

Howard Roark (representative of individualism): "But I don't think of you."

I hope this answers the Jimmy Carter question.

3. Finally, I reproduce the letter to the Editor that the Boston Globe chose to print on the character assassination of Mr. Paul Wolfowitz:

I see that Paul Wolfowitz, the disgraced soon-to-be-ex-president of the World Bank, will be allowed to stay on past June 1 so that he can collect his $400,000 "performance bonus" from an organization chartered to help the world's poorest nations (Wolfowitz resigns from World Bank, May 18, A1). After all he has done to discredit the bank in the world's eyes and to destroy the morale of its dedicated staff, I find this ironic and, sadly, business as usual. (End of published letter.)

Of course the Boston Globe knows that Mr. Paul Wolfowitz disclosed his relationship with Ms. Shaha Ali Riza before he joined the World Bank. The Boston Globe knows Mr. Wolfowitz asked to be recused from the matter of moving Ms. Riza out of the World Bank. The Boston Globe knows the Ethics Board refused the request and instead directed Mr. Wolfowitz to participate in the matter. Well, now you all know this, too and you understand why I love running into people that are "educated" by the Boston Globe.

The two letters I sent to the Boston Globe that could have added balance but did not:

Editor,

I absolutely get it that your paper would describe Ms. Shaha Ali Riza, formerly the Manager for External Relations and Outreach for the Middle East and North Africa Region at the World Bank, as Mr. Paul Wolfowitz's "girlfriend" (Wolfowitz resigns from World Bank, May 18, A1).

After all, why let your readers know that Ms. Riza, a Muslim, is an accomplished diplomat who can speak 5 languages, studied at the London School of Economics and earned a Masters Degree in International Relations from St. Anthony's in Oxford when you can particpate in the character assassination of an ally of President Bush?

A lifetime of achievement and hard work by Ms. Riza only to be described as "girlfriend".

I'll be sure to take notice the next time liberal extremists lecture on the "glass ceiling". (End of first letter.)


Editor,

On page A1, the Boston Globe reported that Mr. Paul Wolfowitz, "one of the Bush administration's main architects of the Iraq invasion", has a Muslim-Arab girlfriend (Wolfowitz resigns from World Bank, May 18, A1).

On page B3 of the same issue, the Boston Globe gave tacit support to Gov. Deval Patrick's bizarre claim that unnamed members of the Bush administration "drove us to round up people of Arab descent" in response to 9/11 (Patrick rips Bush in commencement speech, May 18, B3).

This is the latest example of why normal people laugh at liberal extremists. (End of second letter.)
