Failing Upwards: The Republican Way of Life

From Atrios:

Because Everything She Touches Turns to... Gold?

The NYT editorial board actually means this seriously.


Yesterday, Mr. Bush insisted that he believes in a carrot-and-stick approach. But he has yet to make a serious offer of comprehensive talks and real rewards if Iran is willing to give up its fuel program and cooperate fully with inspectors. He is going to have to send someone a lot higher ranking than the American ambassador in Baghdad to deliver the message. We suggest Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for the job.


Our elite discourse is filled with fools.

I'm all for sending Condi on a trip, but I was thinking more of putting her on the first, inevitably doomed lunar colonization expedition El Presidente has forced NASA into planning. She could bring the Neoconservative vision of peace through eternal war to an already lifeless void, instead of turning a sovereign nation INTO a lifeless void first.

Just a thought.
