Sarah PALIN is calling Henry fucking KISSINGER....naive???
Well, to be fair, she's not a war criminal, so she at least has the moral edge between them.

I just don't understand why having talks with another country is a concession. If you are denying that a government is legitimate, then I see the point. Aside from that, I don't see it as a concession. Hasn't the making demands in order to talk strategy already not worked for Bush?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I mean, Reagan (who I hear some conservatives like) talked to the Soviet Union. Nixon talked to China. And for some reason we can't talk to Iran?

Ann, that's a ferret.
Henry Kissinger can fairly be called a lot of things. "Naive" is not one of them.

You know I've heard various accounts of the F2F crisis meeting at the White House yesterday that described that 'shouting' was going on at it, without any identification of who was doing the yelling... aside from mention that McCain was largely silent during it. So who was yelling?

I know it is the same at all big financial places, but it makes me more than a wee sick.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
She is terrifying. I like to think if she did end up President everyone around her would just MARCIE her in self defense.

Furthermore, one non-rank-and-file Republican, Senator John McCain, is apparently playing spoiler. Earlier this week, while refusing to say whether he supported the Paulson plan, he claimed not to have had a chance to read it; the plan is all of three pages long. Then he inserted himself into the delicate negotiations over the Congressional plan, insisting on a White House meeting at which he reportedly said little — but during which consensus collapsed.

I'll give him this much -- at least he didn't cause the problem and then walk away with millions.
