Lieberman defeated - Code red! Code red!
Yesterday, Kenny Boy Mehlmann goes into hysterics about, and I quote, 'Defeat-ocrats', who will, if given a majority, do liberal things like sell U.S. ports to a Taliban-friendly government or even strip 40% of the funding from terror targets, or perhaps sit on their ass for five years and leave the borders unsecured; today, we get our first-ever Code Red terrorist emergency. Never happened before. Today, it did.
Isn't it odd how the completely unexpected republican attack on 'weak Defeat-ocrats' gets this kind of incidental backup from the United States government? Wait a minute, don't they run that? And didn't Tom Ridge say that the 2004 terror alerts were crassly politicized? And aren't they looking at an election in which their fat asses will be turned out of power?
But let's not play games with national security or do any in-your-face political posturing about it. Just one prediction: we'll stay on Code Red between now and about, oh, November 8th, whereupon the threat will diminish for, say, about two years.
