the drool factor [Michael Ledeen]
Having soaked several bibs to saturation, Casey embarks on new drooling campaign:
"I don't think we should ever use a fictional fairy tale or any kind of fiction to describe the gravity" of the war in Iraq, Mr. Casey said. Well, so much for Tolstoy, Hemingway and Stephen Crane. Casey doesnt even understand literature, let alone geopolitics. "(Santorum) should tell us what he's going to do as a U.S. senator if he were to be re-elected. He's not telling us. He's pretending that he's some kind of professor and that he's got to teach the American people about this. We don't need any teaching lessons, and I certainly don't, from Rick Santorum. He's been lecturing too long," Mr. Casey said.
Whenever Casey is asked to answer a serious question, he blames Santorum for having given a straight answer. He cant give straight answers. He even contradicts himself in a prepared statement to the press. First he says that Santorum should tell the people what he wants done to confront the threat. (Neglecting, of course, the Syrian Freedom Act and the Iran Freedom Act, two landmark laws enacted over protests from the negotiate-at-all-costs Democrats and diplomats in State and the White House). And then he turns around and says Santorum says too much about it. Casey calls that "lecturing," It isnt. Its called leadership through legislation.
Casey is so bad that when the very friendly Philadelphia Inquirer asked him about his position on listening to terrorists telephone conversations, he infuriated the interviewer because he couldnt string together two coherent sentences. Are Pennsylvanians really going to elect him to the Senate? He'd drop the median IQ significantly... |
