Unhinged

The leading lights of Soviet Blogistan wait for Pam Atlas' implosion over John Bolton's resignation as UN Ambassador (I'm sure we deserve a patented video rant on this!) [update on her Bolton implosion down yonder]

However, the evidence is pretty conclusive in saying that she's done gone and lost it:

Bush is surrounded by sharks and the new direction in foreign policy is a slippery slope to hell. Bringing in James "Fuck the Jews" Baker's brand of realpolitik will be an unmitigated disaster, empowering the barbaric Islamists.

Wow. When even James Baker looks like a Holocaust-denying, turbaned jihadist bent on wiping Israel off the map, you've slipped into a Dali-esque version of reality.

Rumsfeld memo highlights Bush isolation Financial Times

President George W. Bush’s isolation over Iraq deepened on Sunday following the publication of the leaked memo from sacked defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld calling for a “major adjustment” in Iraq policy.

John Warner, the outgoing Republican chairman of the Senate armed services committee, told NBC’s Meet the Press that the president should respect the will of the people, and seek agreement with the Democrat leaders of the new Congress on a new Iraq policy.

The dhimmicrats never respected the will of the people when they elected a Republican President, House and Senate, why should they now?

I'm tempted to lecture Pam on reifying such abstractions as "the will of the people," or perhaps on the fact that Congresscritters represent their constituents, so a representative from an overwhelmingly anti-war district would be expected to oppose Bush's war. But she's not going to read it. It will suffice to note that the GOP has been in charge since 2002, both in the Executive and the Legislative branches. Congress has been nothing more than a rubber-stamp, and the Congressional minority had been utterly marginalized by design.

The GOP fucked this one up all on their own.

Anybody happy about this is an America hater. The tyranny of the minority strikes again.

The tired refrain of "America hater" doesn't really work when the so-called "tyranny of the minority" is actually the majority on issues of how batshit insane the Bush foreign policy game is.
