CARNIVAL OF THE CLUELESS #4

One of these days, if I ever get the time and ambition, I’m going to write a history of cluelessness in America.

It will be a multi-volume set, leather bound with embossed letters at the beginning of chapters just like the monks used when they copied the bible. I’ll have publishers lining up to bid on the darn thing, believe me. After all, any publisher that would accept a 1000 page manuscript from Bill Clinton that says absolutely nothing should have no trouble in taking on my literary project. And I won’t even ask for a $5 million advance.

I certainly won’t be lacking for material. One need only reflect on the America that existed at the time of our Declaration of Independence to realize an entire volume could be devoted to the cluelessness of the British in their handling of the American colonies. Or the idiocy of British military commanders like General Cornwallis or General Burgoyne, both of whom allowed the finest armies on the planet to be defeated by a bunch of brave, determined, but still raggedy and disorganized group of farmers, merchants, and laborers.

American General of Artillery Henry Knox was a bookseller by trade. The hero of Saratoga Benedict Arnold was an apothecary at one time. And yet, the British army never had a chance. They could win battle after battle and the more they gloried in their victories, the closer the colonies came to independence. Theirs was the cluelessness of arrogance. They actually thought that because some King had touched a sword to the shoulder of one of their ancestors thus making that worthy a “noble” that this somehow made them better than the free born farmers and merchants who opposed them. That kind of cluelessness cost them an empire.

Thankfully, we have an army of intrepid bloggers who protect us from that kind of cluelessness today. So without further adieu, let’s dig into some genuine, all-American stupidity.

**************************************************************************
“Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.”
(Sir Francis Bacon)
I guess that makes me an imprecise, unprepared, half-assed galoot.”
(Me)

**************************************************************************
Red State Rant alerts us to Stephen Spielberg’s latest project that involves the Israeli agents who tracked down and killed the terrorists who murdered Israel’s athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972.”Stephen Spielberg: Nuancy Boy” captures the director’s “moral equivalency” perfectly.

Chirac, Schroeder, and Putin. I wonder what analogy you could draw to describe those three cluebats? Kefuffles hits the nail on the head with “The Three Stooges do Europe.”

Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy spanks the left for their yearning to see a Viet Nam redux. If the moonbats had any brains, I’d say they had a death wish. Since they lack the necessary gray matter, we can simply point to their utter cluelessness and shake our heads in collective bewilderment.

Giacomo of Joust the Facts brings us a Carnival favorite. Ted Kennedy has opened his mouth again – this time to warn the President on his selection for Supreme Court Justice – which means he’s automatically entered in the “Cluebat of the Week” sweepstakes. It really isn’t fair, you know. He should really step aside and give someone else a chance some time.

Mr. Satire is at it again. The Master of Cluelessness gives us a piece called “The Supreme Court Relies On Foreign Couture.” Mighty pretty they are too! And this one is self explanatory: “Senator Dick Durbin Tied Pol Pot In Third Place, Vows To Beat Hitler.”

The folks at The Common Room take pity on Nancy Pelosi. To be clueless in private, in the bosom of one’s family is one thing. But to display one’s idiocy with the TV cameras and microphones picking up every clueless word is something totally different.

More on Nancy Pelosi from Going to the Mat. It doesn’t seem to matter what the subject is, the Minority Leader in the House of Representatives, the individual who represents the oldest continuously viable political party in existence, is quite simply, a loon.

Possum links us to a transcript of an interview with several clueless Congressmen and Senators regarding the upcoming Supreme Court nomination fight. Check out Lindsey Graham’s weasel words.

Mark Coffey of Decision “08 points his finger at David Corn of The Nation and asks for an air sickness bag. Anyone who uses his children to make a political point is not only clueless, they should be flogged.

Raven at And Rightly So has an excellent rant against Bob Geldof and the moonbats of Live 8. She has a message for the self righteous snots who constantly carp about America’s contributions: “They need to realize that by imploring the G8 governments to DO SOMETHING, they are demanding that I do something. I already have. I’ve given my money.”

Pamela of Atlas Shrugs is baaaaaaack! After braving the perfidious French for the better part of a week, our fearless correspondent shows us that as far as the French are concerned, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.

The Maryhunter of TMH Bacon Bits takes us on a trip into moonbat land and the tiresome and dishonest rants by the anti-war left against the President every time he brings up 9/11. There’s a lesson to be learned there but I don’t think they’re listening.

Van Helsing from Moonbattery brings us words of wisdom from that noted philosopher and towering intellect Woody Allen. No, that’s not a typo. It seems Mr. Allen has taken something of a long view of history with regards to 9/11. Funny how his view of history shortens up quite a bit when it comes to his view of shacking up with his stepdaughter while he was married.

Okay…think real hard and tell me true. Is there anyone more outrageously clueless than Madonna? Northstar of The People’s Republic of Seabrook has the answer.

Two Dogs at Mean ol’ Meany blog has some “splodeydope” links for moonbats like Rep.Sheila Jackson Lee “(Dumbass-TX)” regarding our treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo. Ms. Jackson Lee has proven herself clueless on numerous occasions in the past which, of course, makes her easy pickings.

Cao of Cao’s Blog has an excellent and detailed post about Iraq’s ties to terror and WMD that gives a lie to the Democrats sloganeering “If you say a lie often enough you’re a republican.”

Harvey of Bad Example compares and contrasts Dick Durbin’s “apology” with one given by his blogson. It’s not only Durbin that could learn a thing or two from that kind of forthrightness, but also the rest of us and most especially, the MSM.

Josh at Multiple Mentality thinks it’s fantastic that Justice Souter may get his just desserts with the building of the Liberty Hotel on his property. I like the old Klingon saying “Revenge is a dish best served cold…like Gaach.”

Jan Bear at A World of Speculation links to the Sally Jenkins puff piece on “moderate” Howard Dean and what an ordinary guy he truly is. (Just scroll down until you see Howard’s picture). Trying to turn Mr. Dean into a teddy bear must have been a herculean task – much harder than cleaning the horse manure from the Agean Stables.

Finally, my own entry this week is also on Live 8 called “Geldof’s Goofy Gig.”

    Will the traditional French bakery go the way of the dinosaurs? Who knows and who cares? The important question is will the French people under the leadership of Jacques Chirac, go the way of the dinosaurs? The answer to that is YES!
