Levi's probably thankful the campaign doesn't need to send him to Eye-rak.

The war crimes tribunals have only ever been established by SC resolution, and i doubt that US Ambassador to the UN Robert Kennedy Jr. would allow that to pass. More likely would be a newly established Club Fed down Gitmo way.

Anyone read Matt Taibbi's piece in the latest RS, the one with Metallica on the cover? He really saved up his stash of invective for the Talibunny, but really nails the nut of the problem: we are a nation that only puts down its bag of Family Sized Doritos long enough to change the channel.

@KG, Cubbie: I for one am glad to see Pat Paulsen finally getting the leadership chance he has fought for for many years. Oh wait, what?

BTW, KG, you can thank me later for the Pirates rolling over in extra innings. Although when you have to take the Bucs into extra innings during a pennant race, you're in deep shit for the playoffs.

Here's my understanding:

Morales was already trying to crack down on the "low landers" (he's the first indigenous President, from the altiplano) for a land grab or oil/gas grab, when some (spontaneous?) anti-guvmint rioting opened up in the north. These weren't trucked in "europeans" but rather other indigenous peeps, sometimes called "rival gangs". Somehow Bush's brilliant foreign policy experts decided this was a good time to get pissy about non-compliance with the "war on drugs", so Morales said "vete al carajo tio Sam" and booted the Ambassador under suspicion that he was aiding the riots in the north. Chavez in Venezuela had a standing alliance pact with Morales so he booted out the American ambassador in solidarity.

I'm deeply in love with Latin America, and agree that Morales was muy simpatico on the Daily Show, but I've always considered Chavez an ass. Kind of like the Knack to Castro's Beatles.

@RML: Off to the Great Gig in the Sky.

I grew up watching the Three Stooges on a b&w television, and the closest thing to a remote was when my dad said "Hey TonyNabiscoRamone, change the channel for me would ya?".

I've never looked back.

Wait, what makes you think I'd read the New York Times? If it breaks in the Enquirer, I'm there.

I'll leave Nojo to do his fabulous tea leaf reading on this, but apparently Barry is closing the important White Women gap on Geezer McSame!

That clip is the bomb on so so many levels. It's not the parrot, or the parrot's name, or the sideview of Ralph the Thinker, or quoting Shakespeare. Or even the single cutaway shot, elaborately staged, of Ralph musing on dressing up as a panda.

No, it is the simple fact that Ralph Nader, crusader for consumer rights, is now both less clever and more batshit crazy than Mike Gravel.

Alas, poor Yorick!

D in the WH, Ds in control of H and S, shit will get done, for better or worse. If I were Barry, I'd go balls out on a massive infrastructure rebuild plan out of the gate, something tangible that few people can gripe about. Health care too soon would gum up the works like it did with L'il Abner, and the war crimes tribunal can wait until mid-term elections.

I miss Nabisco, and fear that he is wandering the streets of lower Manhattan, cap in hand, loins girded with worthless Lehman paper. Regulators, we need change (back to the old) we can believe in!

OBTW, best comment I heard today: "What, did I wake up in Cuba this morning? Bush has nationalized more private enterprise than Castro!"

Yah, my first true lurv cheated on me, scarring me at the time but probably saved quite a few of the subsequent relationships, including the current long-time one. Lusting great, cheating bad (see TommTommClub above).

Bake-O, would you believe me if I say that I agree with Prommy and yet believe that we are able to overcome our bilogical urges? Or that I've never been unfaithful? Or that the missus basically told me, when we we'd, that sure I could "play around". But she'd kill me . All true.

OBTW, my kitty climbed into the bathtub when I was washing my daughter last night. I think he's showing solidarity with the island katz.

No, I'm Nabisco and it is only your luv jnov that keeps me afloat. Somehow in the early Wonkette hamsters-approve-comments stage, I tried too many names and the only one that stuck was Nabisco. I don't seem to be able to log in as such, however. In the meanwhile, the guy wearing the barrel and suspenders answers to TonyRamone.

Oh, and as if ripped from the Onion, McCain acknowledges Wall Street crisis, admits he's old.
