I'd be willing to bet that this self-proclaimed expert on the Presdent's inner life was one of those defending Clinton's "right to a private life" when it was proven, despite his lies to the contrary, that he was having sex with young women in the Oval Office.
Most likely because he was jonesing for painkillers
According to liberals, this is how they would caption this photo:
"Karl, have you ever been up in one of these planes? Everything looks so small. I don't know why everyone says the roads are so crowded...cars are just so darn small. From up here you could have 20 cars where only one fit before. And the trees are so small too..."
Or-
"Karl, you just don't understand. People are so stupid, stupider than I am, that they will vote for me no matter what...hey, you know what? I can make great faces that reflect back from this airplane window..."
Evaluating what liberals will think about something is as challenging as eating at McDonalds. You know exactly what it is going to taste like, and you know it will taste only slightly better than excrement.
very well put.
" The Ivory tower they reside in is made of snow,..."
How kind.
What a nice person you are.
I would have said, "manure."
Or because he knew there was a camera in the room.
He would have held a celebratory barbecue - as any American should when a brutal Communist thug bites the dust. ;)
Or (c) Marilyn turned him down the night before.
Canadian history is being disowned and rewritten by liberals and socialists (see the Heritage Minute series that is run on the CBC), and this professor does the same for the USA.
This guy has no idea of what it means to be a leader and commander. Leaders don't have the luxury of being able to show their emotions and must make very hard "no-win" decisions. This doesn't mean they have no feelings. General US Grant was the epitome of the stoic, emotionless General leading troops on the battlefield. On the first day of the battle of the Wilderness the Union suffered tremendous casualties and made no gains against Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Upon meeting with his Lt. Generals that evening, Grant emotionlessly told them that the attack would resume at dawn that morning. Many of the Generals present objected, pointing out what they thought was the needless loss of live during the day's battle. Grant said the question was not open to discussion and curtly dismissed the Generals and his staff. After everyone (but his chief of staff) had left, Grant went to his tent and spend the next several hours crying like a baby. Leaders don't have the luxury of showing emotion to others like you and I.
I've seen Bush deliver a speech moments after meeting with parents of soldiers killed, and his voice is cracking, he clearly has trouble getting through it.
He doesn't put his emotions on display, but if you're paying attention they are there and they are real.
They are also not very relevant. I don't elect a president to emote, I elect one who will carry out the policies I believe in. I have watched in horror as for decades we have stood by impotently in the face of muslim attacks on Americans. I don't want a president who will blow up an aspirin factory before moving on to more interesting subjects, I don't want a president who will cut and run after getting his eye blackened as we did after Somalia and, for that matter, Lebanon. I want someone who will make a plan to drain the swamp that produces the monsters we must confront, and to stay the course until its done.
That takes the kind of courage that Kennedy most clearly did not have, nor have many presidents since him. Courage isn't something you can emote for the camera, its something that you do every day when everything and everyone tells you to give it up.
This article is dishonest, and I can only conclude that its writer is dishonest as well.
Marilyn turned someone down?
"Let's see, who's next in my little black book?"
Yes, but it wouldn't fit the rest of the phrase...:-)
In writing about Kennedy'compassion for the Communist terrorist Patrice Lumumba, Cohen omitted his reaction to another assassination.
I wonder what was on President Kennedy’s mind when he learned about the assassination of our ally, President Ngo Dihn Diem in S. Vietnam in a coup that was carried out with the full complicity of the Kennedy brothers?
These leftists are not only devoid of mind, but they are devoid of conscience.
They will pay for their lies. If not here, in eternity.
Has this happened without any of us knowing about it?
Patrice Lumumba and his Mau Mau murderers were one of the worst murderous, racist band of savages that ever existed.
Well, the orders for newspaper journalists and so forth to come out and write critical pieces came out the other day, and knucklehead Cohen is just a mind-numbed robot following orders.
Thanks for posting both articles there, Quid.
