Sunday Night Poll: Homeland Insecurity
February 20th, 2006 at 10:34 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesGiven President Junior’s lack of concern for our borders, it should come as no surprise that he’s selling out the security of six major U.S. ports to the freakin’ United Arab Emirates. Just consider that concept for a moment. If I wasn’t already painfully aware of President Junior’s political tin ear, I would think this was some type of joke. But, of course, it isn’t.
So, since Junior seems to need a little help with his wacky security schemes, let’s help him make his next strategic move by voting in tonight’s Sunday Monday Night Poll.
UPDATE:
It gets worse. Dhimmi Carter has announced that he endorses the “turn the ports over to the UAE” plan of action. Call off the deal, President Junior. Call it off.

Give the Ports to the Danish
Forget the Arab companies trying to take over American ports. Give them to the Danes! Heh. And while we’re thinking about Arab companies running U.S. ports, why not take this pole which asks what other government functions should be taken…

Not to dhimminish Dick Morris’ podiatric contribution to the English language, but Junior and Co. are threatening to take “foothunting” to a whole new level.
Quick, there’s a foot! Shoot it!

HOW THE PORT SELLOUT WAS FINANCED
A tipster e-mailed me last night: I work as a corporate lawyer at a large law firm that has a speciality in Islamic finance. The real reason Dubai Ports World is undergoing the transaction is because of an Islamic finance…

If Carter supports it, I know where I stand.
February 21st, 2006 at 3:18 pm
I didn’t see the big deal until Carter came out for it. Now I know something is wrong with the plan.
February 21st, 2006 at 3:42 pm
I know why Jr. did it… It was an attempt to make Jummah’s head expolde,,, Sooner or latter he’ll realise that he and Jr. are in agreement then POP!!!!

Carter’s for it?
Debate over. One need read no further.

First Harriet Meirs, now this. Is this Administration completely tone deaf re: political fallout? The threat of a veto, which will be over-ridden, is ridiculous.
February 21st, 2006 at 5:54 pm
This administration/president is really amazing. You would THINK that they/he would have learned his lesson with Miers, but he keeps stepping in it. Perhaps he is just dumb as a stump. It’s hard to find another explanation for it.

More odds ‘n’ ends
OK, so I still don’t feel like writing anything today (see also: yesterday, the day before, the day before that, etc.), so I’ll clear out a little bit of today’s incoming email and other things instead. (No “odd” ones, t…

No Safe Harbor From Swirling Controversy
As for the odd political bedfellows, I noted yesterday that much of the current outrage stems over parochial and home rule issues – the municipalities where these ports are located wanted a say in the decision, and that cuts across party lines. That’…

Don’t vote here, I’m just plagiarizing. Take the official poll at 6MB.

Something to consider: if we deny the UAE the ability to control the port operation which they bought from the British, then who do we give it to, our own? That likely means Halliburton–wouldnt you love to see the dim reaction to that?

I blame Rove. (Seriously.) I think Boy Wonder Rove needs to go, because he’s made for elections, not the WH. Bring in Dick Morris, and Bush will get back in sync–but that won’t ever happen because of that Bush loyalty (to Rove).
Morris pulled Slick Willie out of the basement (before Monica); he could EASILY refocus Bushie. Hell, I could probably do it.
And TOSS Andy Card, for Chrissakes. The WH is in full fuckin’ meltdown.

Wonder what happened to the American companies who at one time ran these ports.
I was just as shocked to find out they were being run by the British.

As far as Halliburton is concerned … They do things many others won’t touch, The problem is they charge out the butt for Anything! Like doing the laundry for our troops @ $120. per shirt? Yeh right.
