Whitewing said:reader (the Second) said:Whitewing said:"tokens". Interesting choice of words. I never thought of either of them in those terms. Both seemed like dedicated, capable public servants with no 'radical' or controversial past.
But that's just me.
They clearly were tokens, as competent as they may be, because they were not allowed to do their jobs but were hemmed in by all the unofficial defense and diplomacy advisors, including the neocons, Rove, Cheney, Cheney's advisors ...
Not allowed to do their jobs? I'm listening. Please explain.
Whitewing said:Van Jones. I recall a conversation with the dynamic duo of OT and Reader about Van Jones and asking what OT thought about the King having an avowed communist as his Green Jobs Czar. Here's the exchange.

I loved OT's and Reader's use of the word token. In the end, liberals always reveal their disdain for those who appear different than they. Oh, and as for Reader's explanation of why Powell and Condi Rice weren't allowed to do their jobs, she posted someone's opinion piece. :roll:

But I'll bet this "someone" was a person that ol' Reader knew on a first name basis. :wink:
reader (the Second) said:Need to brush up on your Spanish by the way. Pueblo is the wrong word and the natives are called Venezuelanos not Venezuelas. Have some very good friends from that part of the world. Let me know where your ranch is, and I'll have them drop by for a visit. Will Kiki be there? She's cute.
reader (the Second) said:Who is more fishy here? Hmmmm. Well it's obvious. Anyway watch how long WW sticks around now that his identity is blown.
hopalong said:she didn't stick aound long after oldtimer and you talked on the phone,,,,proving she was a phony
Whitewing said:hopalong said:she didn't stick aound long after oldtimer and you talked on the phone,,,,proving she was a phony
Actually, she disappeared not long after I showed up....and long before OT called me.
Things got a bit creepy there for a while....her searching the internet trying to verify everything I said....weather reports, newspaper articles, court records, etc. If I wanted to accuse someone of stalking...........
I always assumed she left because she was so embarrassed about what a fool she'd made of herself during the whole affair.
Too bad OT doesn't have similar shame.:wink:

A policeman interrogates three blondes who are training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for five seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"
The policeman says, "Well, uh, thats because the picture shows his profile."
Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for five seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"
The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two?! Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"
Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer."
The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmm, the suspect wears contact lenses."
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an interesting answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file."
He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspects file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. "Wow! I cant believe it. It's true! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?"
"That's easy," the blonde replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."
