GHW is actually a sensitive man. He cries about the end of the Bush dynasty. He cries that GW wrecked it for Jeb. He cries that the American people now hate the Bush family. He even cries over the fact he can't tap his favorite Saudi family for funds, the Bin Ladens. You know, sister, you really should apply for a job at the Enquirer or some such rag. You're more than qualified, as you constantly prove that you're demonstrably nuttier than last years Christmas cake. The prodigious amounts of unmitigated bull crap that you spew here would be much better suited to that type of venue, where facts and reality are nuisances to be avoided..

Pinhead, Gen Petraeus is the real Person o/t Year: >The person of the year is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo. On Wednesday, Time magazine will announce its person of the year. And on its Web site, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is the leading vote getter. Memo to Time: No. Al Gore is also a crowd favorite because of his global warming campaign. Ahmadinejad getting some attention. But again, he would not be a good choice and Time knows it. Now "The Factor's" Person of the Year must meet some very strict requirements. The person must have done something extraordinary, must be a world player, and must have changed history in some way. That is our yardstick. And so, "The Factor" person of the year is General David Petraeus, who has turned a disastrous military situation in Iraq into a possible victory in less than a year. You will remember how the general got worked over by some Congress people, how many folks said publicly the so-called "surge" in Iraq would not work. Well, they were wrong. Violence is now at the lowest levels since the conflict began in 2003. —Obviously, a stunning turn around in less than a year. As "Talking Points" has stated, there are Americans who desperately want the USA to lose in Iraq. Some of those people are in the media. So reporting on the surge has been sparse to say the least. The hate-Bush crowd simply will never admit anything good can come from the Iraq conflict. These people are bitter, dishonest, and of course, damaging to America. A fair amount of people can oppose the war in Iraq yet want to see their country succeed in that place. There's no question that a stable Iraq is good for the world because it provides a bulwark against Islamic terrorism and Iranian expansion. The cost has been great. We all know that. And the Iraqi government is still a mess. But General Petraeus, backed by a brave and professional U.S. military, has restored much order, largely defeated the Iraqi A Qaeda thugs, and at least given the good people of that country a chance to prosper. General David Petraeus is "The Factor" person of the year by a wide margin. And that's "The Memo."< billoreilly.com
