      So, given the timing, and given the assumption that USEmbassyCairo probably has had to get every 140 characters OK'd by Washington since Tuesday night's tweet that Romney clumsily attempted to capitalize on, is it safe to guess that the zinger to IkhwanWeb was authorized at high levels? I like the idea that someone senior in the administration understands the usefulness of sarcasm in diplomacy...

  • Top Ten Clint Eastwood Empty-Chair Falsehoods

      It's not only Clint's rambling demeanor the other night that suggests that he might be suffering some kind of intellectual decline. He's not actually the face of the GOPTea, Kat, or at least he wasn't until recently. This is the guy who said to GQ only a year ago:

      "I was an Eisenhower Republican when I started out at 21, because he promised to get us out of the Korean War. And over the years, I realized there was a Republican philosophy that I liked. And then they lost it. And libertarians had more of it. Because what I really believe is, Let's spend a little more time leaving everybody alone. These people who are making a big deal out of gay marriage? I don't give a fuck about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of.

      Hard to explain, both for him and for the GOP.
