Poor little Neocons were LIED TO by Vanity Fair! WHAAaaaaaa, snif. waaahhhh

POOR POOR whiny-ass-titty-baby-neocons. They're stamping their feet at the MEANIES who TRICKED THEM into talking trash about Bush in the Vanity Fair "Neo-Culpa" article...

Richard "Prince of Dark-Eyeshadow Dumbasses" Perle:

"...Vanity Fair has rushed to publish a few sound bites from a lengthy discussion with David Rose. Concerned that anything I might say could be used to influence the public debate on Iraq just prior to Tuesday's election, I had been promised that my remarks would not be published before the election.

Sniff... They LIED!!! Those bastards made up a bunch of CRAP and then launched a war that killed thousands of Americans... Oh wait, I did that. Nevermind...

more if you want a laugh...

More Perle stupidity:

I should have known better than to trust the editors at Vanity Fair who lied to me and to others who spoke with Mr. Rose. Moreover, in condensing and characterizing my views for their own partisan political purposes, they have distorted my opinion about the situation in Iraq and what I believe to be in the best interest of our country..."

Wow, people distorting other people's opinions. That sucks, like when the NIE said Iraq had no WMDs and the neocons said that the NIE said Iraq DID have WMDs?

etc etc.

WHAAAAAAA...

Cohen: "I had assumed that the interview would not be published until January, and find the timing of this release of excerpts tendentious, to say the least."

Frum: "Vanity Fair then set my words in its own context in its press release. They added words outside the quote marks to change the plain meaning of quotations... ...Vanity Fair [has] repackaged truths that a war-fighting country needs to hear into lies intended to achieve a shabby partisan purpose."

Gaffney: "...Rose failed to respond honestly when asked by an NPR reporter on Sunday morning why Richard Perle, Ken Adelman, David Frum, and others had "chosen this time" to criticize President Bush and his war effort. The correct answer was we had not "chosen" this time to do so. Rather, Rose's editors had selected this juncture in the election cycle to publicize our respective views in the worst possible light..."

Rubin: "...people interviewed for the piece are annoyed because they granted interviews on the condition that the article not appear before the election..."

  •  I feel so baaaaaad for the pore things

    let down by the press. Haven't they read the editorials of the Bush-hating Vanity Fair?

    It's so unfair not to hold back things back during an election. After all the press held back the 9/11 Commission Report didn't they? Wasn't the Abu Ghraib torture scandal held back too?

    The "Fair" in the title is NOT a literal promise. Just look at the unfair article about Hillary Clinton that they published.

    •  They can't help themselves

      They're such whores and so egotistical that they just can't turn down a chance at a media interview.

      If Vanity Fair tricked them then I say good! These guys have been deceiving everyone for years (with lies), turnabout is fair play.

  •  fuck 'em - THEY lied to US!

    It's about time someone lied to them.

    Unfortunately Vanity Fair's "lies" only their feelings were hurt - unlike a lot of people who were killed, wounded, and bankrupted by the neocon lies.

    Justice is not nearly served.

      with; Scalia seems to have had a great time hunting ducks with him and emerged unpeppered. The Justice even helped him out with a nice Supreme Court decision later, so we can tell there weren't any hard feelings.

•  God forbid that the truth factor into elections.

  Like the baker report, we are all supposed to take for granted that news that might actually provide a basis to vote is held back until after the elections, so that the elites have two years to massage our feelings over it.

  The media is complicit.

  The presumption that it's somehow unfair for the elections to turn on actual performance and actual facts is so widespread that even the media is mostly on board.  That is, they will report everything and anything as long as nothing changes the elites in power.

  It's the proto fascism.

  •  AbsoF-INGlutely

    The media is the player we need to keep working on. We need to force reality back onto the pages of the papers, and onto the tube.

    Enough BS "journalism" where some asshat who says the world is flat gets to spew his Exxon-sponsored theory and no one says "Hey dipshit, the freakshow left town last week. Either start making sense or we pull your plug."

    Too harsh? OK, let's just get a few progressive bloggers to help you think of REAL questions instead of the shitty ones you MSMorons always think up. Something that has to do with real issues and not how John Kerry sounded when you clip off all the context.

•  Well Neocons Don't Exactly Know How to Think

  They really need to sit down and let their betters explain it all to them.

  They don't have the necessities to understand global events.

•  Those guys are whack!

  They don't even deny they said it, just that we weren't supposed to know it until after we vote, when it's too late.  I don't think Haggard is the only one doing drugs!

•  With apologies to William Makepeace Thackeray

  Did any of these Neocon assholes ever read Vanity Fair?  Not the magazine - tho that should have been warning enough - but I'm talking about the novel.

  Vanity Fair is a moral tale, and the title describes:

  a place or scene of ostentation or empty, idle amusement and frivolity.

  If we substitute the Bush family and the Straussian neocons for Thackeray's dramatis personae, we find:

  Society (and its organ, the MSM) accept the Bush family and the Neocons because appearance and status are what matter in determining who is to rule, not character or virtue or the whole life of a human being.

  The Bush family and the Neocons, brutal and self-righteous, filled with egotism and pride, represent the capitalist who sees the world in terms of money, judges people by their wealth, and use their children's future to fulfill social ambitions and enhance their sense of self-worth at the expense of all others.

  What ho, I hear the squeal of stuck pigs, hoisted upon their own petards!

  by bobdevo on Mon Nov 06, 2006 at 01:14:36 PM PDT

  •  Heh

    I love the smell of stuck pigs being roasted on their own petards in the morning.

    by racerx on Mon Nov 06, 2006 at 01:18:49 PM PDT

    •  Petard == a bomb

      "Hoist on his own petard" refers to tunneling under a castle wall, but having the bomb go off killing the bomb maker.

      Good try....

      •  If you feed a pig a half pound of C4 and a

        detonator cap - wait about 5 minutes and detonate - you'll have yourself an INSTANT BBQ.

        C4 burns at 26,000 feet per second and gets REAL HOT.

        Used to make hot coffee in the bush with it if we were outa canned heat.

•  Naomi Klein == Neocon PLAN for Iraq in 2004

  Shock-and-Awe was followed by a totally planned out FINAL FANTASY. The whole Iraqi economy was destroyed. Here's what followed from Naomi Klein in 2004:::

  ********

  "...even George Bush's Republicans are, in their own minds, perennially sabotaged by meddling Democrats, intractable unions, and alarmist environmentalists.

  Iraq was going to change all that.

  In one place on Earth, the theory would finally be put into practice in its most perfect and uncompromised form.

  A country of 25 million would not be rebuilt as it was before the war; it would be erased, disappeared. In its place would spring forth a gleaming showroom for laissez-faire economics, a utopia such as the world had never seen.

  Every policy that liberates multinational corporations to pursue their quest for profit would be put into place: a shrunken state, a flexible workforce, open borders -- MEANING NO INSPECTIONS --, minimal taxes, no tariffs, no ownership restrictions.

  The people of Iraq would, of course, have to endure some short-term pain: assets, previously owned by the state, would have to be given up to create new opportunities for growth and investment.

  Jobs would have to be lost and, as foreign products flooded across the border, local businesses and family farms would, unfortunately, be unable to compete.

  But to the authors of this plan, these would be small prices to pay for the economic boom that would surely explode once the proper conditions were in place, a boom so powerful the country would practically rebuild itself.

  The fact that the boom never came and Iraq continues to tremble under explosions of a very different sort should never be blamed on the absence of a plan.

  ****** THEN BLAME IT ALL ON RUMSFELD. *****

  Smart girl, that'n..... PROPS TO KLEIN.

  Naomi Klein == Wizardess of 2004
