She lost it a couple of times this week. NPR played a soundbite with her saying something marginally outrageous…but for the life of me I can’t recall even the faintest detail. Great citation, huh? I don’t think it concerned Libya though.

Handicapped? I thought that was obvious.

This is why I’ve become sick and tired of politics…and the asswipes who engage in it. Their default position on an issue is always the exact opposite from that of the other party. Romney supported government mandates, now he opposes it. Obama opposed removing a dictator, now he supports it. Republicans talk about reforming Social Security and Medicare, Dems scream about killing old people. Democrats talk about reforming Social Security and Medicare, Republicans scream about killing old people. Goddamn lawyers and their endless conniving are destroing this country. To hell with all of them.

And can we go over again the current reasons for a military operation to remove a dictator from power? On a related note, here's the New York Times wailing about the hazards of withdrawing from a war too early. What a difference a party designation makes.

So, the idea is that concern about fighting a new war in Libya means you support Qaddafi?

I am handicapped here by the constant brainscrubbing. Do you remember Bush and the war in Iraq?

Obviously, you’re confused. Republicans are the ones who accuse anyone who dissents from their viewpoint as unpatriotic.

As for Hillary, we can add the inability to read and comprehend to your other failings. She did not accuse anyone of being unpatriotic. She posed a simple question as to whether Republicans are on the side of Qaddafi or on the side of NATO. One could side with Qaddafi’s right to rule without being unpatriotic. However, it would be evidence of stupidity.
