Richard Holbrooke, egotistical swine.

Few writers can match Julia Gorin for her grasp of Balkan politics and the disgraceful U.S. betrayal of the Serbs in aid of drinking Muslim bathwater.

I refer to the betrayal engineered and relentlessly pursued by Richard Holbrooke -- an official who served as a U.S. diplomat courtesy Bill Clinton. See Gorin's outstanding post on Holbrooke.^[1]

We have no idea what is done in our name. Whatever interests Holbrooke, Albright and Clinton were serving in the Balkans (or East Timor), they weren't U.S. interests.

We act like a hollowed out nation. Exhibit bleeping A: our affirmative action president who

• is constitutionally unqualified to order that the rug of the Oval Office be vacuumed,
  
• soared from the socialist and rejectionist fever swamps of radical black Chicago politics, and
  
• can't order a cheeseburger without a teleprompter.
  

Our fierce junkyard dog press won't investigate his shoe size and it appears he arguably has a a shot at being voted back in next year.

(Cue Marty "Walk This Way" Feldman looking off to the side.)

In this non-nation there are, so it appears, "independent" voters who even now are earnestly stroking their chins and contemplating the dangerous possibility that one of the Republican presidential challengers to The One might not be as sound on fiscal and economic matters as Mr. Obama.

Oh, yes! Apparently that's a close judgment call that keeps these people in the "independent" column.

How about "moron" column?

I 'm a a long way from the Balkans at this point in this post but my name is Col. Bunny and I approve this message.
