She claims (9:06pm) that "every single one" of her own comments "gets numerous responses". That's not even mathematically possible: nearly 1/6 of the comments here (19/115 so far) are by her, including at least one (9:03pm) begging for someone to reply to something stupid she'd written. If they all had "numerous" replies, and if "numerous" has its usual meaning, rather than some special Inga meaning like "between 0 and 2", there wouldn't be room for comments by anyone else. It is obvious that there are still plenty of comments by others on this thread.<br /><br />Surely Inga must know that if Althouse readers were ever asked to vote for the Most Useless Commenter on Althouse, with no multiple voting allowed, she would certainly be in the top 10, and would be a strong candidate for Number One, despite an abundance of strong competition. I mean, she can't possibly be so lacking in self-awareness as to not know that, can she?Dr Weevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059306888033890029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-3528419769060954982012-10-20T09:23:29.256-05:002012-10-20T09:23:29.256-05:00At that, thinking back on it, was there not some s...At that, thinking back on it, was there not some speculation in the press that "the Libyan war of liberation" was cooked up by Hillary!, Susan Rice, and Mary Robinson (former President of Eire and now someething at the U.N.)?<br /><br />It soon died away, and maybe it was just that press could not find anyone else to pin it on, but then, here is Susan Rice again!Hagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653025261513705773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-17556905509374798342012-10-20T09:21:53.367-05:002012-10-20T09:21:53.367-05:00Inga said...

All I'd add is: People will say that both sides do it, that power corrupts whoever holds the office.<br /><br />I don't think so.<br /><br />When republicans are corrupt, the press calls them on it. By protecting their guy for the last four years, the press has created a situation where the body politic was defenseless and open to corruption on a massive scale. F&F, Solyndra, they're too numerous to mention.<br /><br />This is easily the most corrupt administration in history. Who could even compare? US Grant? That's silly. Government was so much smaller then, even if POTUS had been a comic book arch villain, he couldn't have put his fingers in half the pies that this administration has.<br /><br />One irony: anyone who actually believes that "fourth estate" stuff, that the press has a role as a quasi branch of government, serving as a check on the other three, should vote republican; because the only time the press ever acts that way is when a republican is in office. But I'm sure the vast majority vote D.Pastafarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09008215139954260401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-75876493539584596292012-10-20T05:24:44.671-05:002012-10-20T05:24:44.671-05:00I've just spent the night cruisin' all the...I've just spent the night cruisin' all the various websites that struck my fancy, tryin' to get a read on the countries mood. And I come away with just one question...<br /><br />Are all liberals as retarded as their representatives in the media? They can't be, can they? I mean it. Some of these people shouldn't be allowed sharp scissors. Restrict their eating utensils to spoons.<br /><br />Like Whoopi Goldberg... I;ve seen her take some unpopular stances against the left before. But her defense of the way she treated Ann Romney was basically limited to "You shut up."<br /><br />I saw instance after instance of people calling for riots, assassinations, and general mayhem, if Romney wins. I will grant that there are some nut jobs on the right who feel the same way about Zero, but I also see the Secret Service investigating a guy who hung an empty chair from a tree. The SS issued a statement that they were aware of the death threats against Romney, and they will investigate if there is ever a need. I guess need is an actual attempt? Or does it have to be a successful attempt?<br /><br />Zero and his cadre of misanthropes has poisoned the well of American democracy. They should all be charged with treason. Too bad the Republicans are too chicken shit to actually fight for our country.<br /><br />PS.<br /><br />Zero and the Democrats have yet to produce a budget(as required by law). They have also stopped issuing reports for the last four quarters about Stimulus Projects and Expenditures(as required by law). And the DOJ has said they will not enforce certain laws of this country(as required by law).<br /><br />How is it that so many people can flagrantly break the law, and not suffer any consequences?<br /><br />More and more, we are reaching the point Jefferson warned about. "The tree of liberty is watered with the blood of tyrants" We have tyrants in DC as I type this.<br /><br />Fuck 'em all.Carnifexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12561390087899686588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-70679343530437989862012-10-20T04:24:19.742-05:002012-10-20T04:24:19.742-05:00We could stay in that country for a thousand years...<i>We could stay in that country for a thousand years and the Afghans would still be howling barbarians. </i><br /><br />In the most tragic sense, this isn't true.
