Gee, I'm so crestfallen that I missed it. I hope they paid Al Gore their carbon credits for the cruise.

They don’t need to. With all that hot air and wind from the liberals they need only sails to move around.

I’ll bet that boat had a list to port all throughout the cruise, XD

P. J. O’Rourke took a cruise to Russia with a boatload of Nation pinkos. It’s the “Ship of Fools” chapter in “Republican Party Animal”:

There are just too many “deep thoughts” in this article. I feel totally unqualified and unprepared to even contemplate any of those thoughts. I’ve never felt so humbled.

The comment which sums up the moral vacancy of the left came early in the article, when Mary Mapes called the cruise an SDS reunion, meaning that in a clever and humorous manner.

I just read a long review of the SDS in an article posted on the Internet. Their origins are Communist, although there was some infighting during the early years about whether or not the Soviet Union should get some of the blame for the Cold War. By the late 1960s, though, it appears that the SDS was completely coopted by radical leftist groups whose goal was the destruction of the United States and American culture.

Interesting that is the metaphor for those people on the cruise.

One other thing: If I used a forged document anywhere in my duties as a teacher and then tried to pass it off as genuine, my career would be over. My certificate would be taken away. My pension would vanish. And I wouldn’t be on a fabulous cruise this summer.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my years about the left, it is this: there are two sets of standards, one for them, and one for the rest of us, and the one for them is far more forgiving.

"...71-year-old feminist..."

Well, that's gotta stink, right there.

Mary Mapes, the former CBS news producer who helped break the Abu Ghraib story among others, before being fired over her involvement in a 60 Minutes piece on George W. Bush's military record.

They sure do gloss over what she did, dont they?
