The poor Irish Independent - the ink on their oh-so-serious-yet-slightly-giddy editorial isn’t even dry yet, and already Clarke’s been exposed, unequivocally, as a liar.

They expected Santa Claus and got Jon Lovitz.

Zero effect. Clarke's a liar, and we all know it. Only the liberal-demokkkRATs will continue to beat that dead horse. Anyone with a functioning brain can recognize the truth.

Such allegations, from such a source, could hardly be more serious.

There...that's better.

>PRESIDENT George Bush is in trouble. His Democratic opponent in the November election, Senator John Kerry, leads him in the polls

Remember, during
the Iraq war, Euro press
did tons of stories

on how the US
was losing ... Then, suddenly
the US had won!

If I remember,
BBC and French news groups
got in big trouble

in their own countries
for cranking out biased crap
that mis-led people.

Who'd-a-thunk-it, still
the Left-loving press fiction
writers are at work . . .

Any negative fall out is solely Bush's fault!! One of the dumbest things he did (and continues to do) is retain any person that Willie hired. Every piece of Willie's filth and corruption should have been terminated at the earliest possible momnent and none should ever again be given any responsibility. The one I recognize still on the payroll id Boucher at State. GET RID OF HIM!!!

All Willie's thugs and all dmes are motivated by self-loathing. They lied for Willie time and time again; he used them. They KNOW Willie was a lying piece of filth!! But, they lied for him and to get back some semblence of self-respect, they must make a Republican, any Republican, look bad. Yellow Cake Wilson and "Not Wesley" Clark are two example of Willie's filth who saw a shot at W and took it. It makes them look better in their own eyes and helps them say, "Willie wasn't as bad as we thought."

W!! Get rid of ALL the leftover Willie filth RIGHT NOW!!!

The national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, has refused to testify. The White House cites "separation of powers". That is a flimsy excuse. Secretary of State Colin Powell, to whom the same considerations would apply, gave evidence yesterday.

While we're piling on, this is also bunk. Powell is a Department head and testifies on a regular and routine basis. Condi Rice is part of the president's personal staff. Big difference.

Seems like a bit more of the 'Irish Luck' has struck the Irish Independent:

The Luck of the Irish

written by John Belushi

Jane Curtin: And now we come to St Patrick's Day and John Belushi is here to discuss the luck of the Irish.

John Belushi: Thank you, thank you very much. Well, it's come that time again, St. Patrick's Day has come and gone and well, the sons of Ireland are basking in the glow.

When I think of Ireland I think a lot of colorful Irish expressions like, "Top of the morning to ya," "Kiss the barney stone," "May the road rise to meet ya," "May you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead," "I'd like to smash you in the face with my shillelagh," "Danny-boy," "Begorra," "Wail of the banshee," and "Whiskey for the leprechauns, whisky for the leprechauns."

But the expression I think most people identify with the Irish, is, of course, the luck of the Irish.

The luck of the Irish. Sure. Let's say you're in a pub somewhere in Ireland, oh, anywhere in Ireland, some guy comes up to you and says, "Hey is that a bomb on you I hear ticking?" And then BAM!!! Your small intestines are on the ceiling and your brains are on your car across the street. That's the luck of the Irish for ya, who's kidding who, okay?

Let's talk about the How about that? It scares them, doesn't it? Well, it should. That's why they came here in the first place. So they wouldn't have to work in the potato fields. That's why they became politicians, priests, and cops. Luck? Gimme a break.

(he gets more and more worked up as he continues)

I got a friend, his name is Dan Sullivan, he's Irish as they come. We used to drink together a lot. After two drinks, he would look like an Irish pirate. You know?

You think he had luck? In one day he got his car stolen, and the stupid, he had no insurance, and no license, and he gets locked up for being drunk.

And after that, he takes off for someplace like India or Nepal, or someplace like that. And his mother dies, ya know, so they wire him to tell him to come to the funeral. It's his mother's funeral, that's all. And he's in India or Nepal, sitting squat-legged listening to some sacred cow.

So he comes back and he gets stopped at U.S. Customs for trafficking illegal drugs, not holding, he's trafficking. I mean, here's this guy Sullivan, his old lady kicks off, he gets popped at the border and he's sitting on fifty pounds of black Tibetan finger hash and two keys of slam. Now that's not bad luck, that's DUMB luck. I don't think luck has anything to do with it, I don't think he has any brains at all.

First of all, he's drunk, then he's a junkie. I don't know what's worse! Don't ask me, ask Sullivan! And what happens?! He calls me up and says, "Hey man, I got busted at the border. I need five grand bail." I said, I said, "Five grand man!? Hey man, I've never even seen five thousand dollars in my life, so don't ask me for it, man, why don't you ask your mother!!" (aside) Which was a dumb thing for me to say because his mother just died. (returns to his loud tirade)

Right now, I got this drunken Irish junkie who wants to kill me because of what I said about his mother being in terminal dreamland! Oh pal. One thing! One thing!!! They love their mothers, boy, oh they love their mothers. It's momma this, momma that.

(starts flailing his arms wildly in the way only John Belushi could) Oh my Irish mother! Ireland must be heaven, because my mother.. aauugghhh! Aaauugghhh!!! (as he flails he nearly slams his head on the desk and then falls off his chair, still screaming)

Jane Curtin: Well, that's the news. Good night, and have a pleasant tomorrow.

These unfortunate people at the Irish Independent are victims of pareidolia--seeing things that aren't there, such as, for example, faces, animals, etc. in the clouds, things that obviously are projections of the mind.

Wishful Thinking Alert by the Irish Independent.

Really, they have to catch their technology up to the rest of the western hemisphere. Clarke's book was discredited almost as soon as Clarke, Stahl, CBS and Viacom gave it a veritable informerical on 60 Minutes.

If the Irish Independent got out of the 50s, they might have known that.

But, then, leftists live in their fantasy world.
