Next time this country is attacked, think about how Captain Codpiece double-dog-dared Osama bin Laden to do it

Driftglass translates Frances Townsend:

Having your woman call out another man as impotent is double-dog-daring him to take a swing at you.

It’s using the international stage to go right after his recently retouched manhood.

It is a video dickslap at bin Laden, calling his mama ugly and trying very deliberately to goad him into take another shot at us.

It isn’t what any reasonably bright human above the age of 12 would mistake for statecraft.

It isn’t even just Dubya's regular pissy frat-rat “Bring ‘em on” faux machismo.

(And hey, remember how fucking brilliantly that little tantrum of peevish dick wagging worked last time when President Thinks-With-His-Nads dared Iraq’s nascent insurgency to kill more US soldiers?

As reminder, over four years ago -- in July of 2003 -- when the Commodore Codpiece just had to show the world what an ego-drunk badass looks like as long as he’s got 200,000 troops and 30,000 nuclear weapons to hide behind, 23 American soldiers had been killed in George W. Bush’s Iraq War.

As of this writing, 3,739 more have perished.

Ritual sacrifices made to one man’s malignant narcissism, and to his malevolent enablers.)

No this is stacking “Bringing it on” on top of “You little fag”…

…and then using the global throw-weight of Mouse Circus message delivery system to have your subordinate skirt rub his hair in it...

...in front of several million viewers.

So instead taking the actions a Real Man would take -- capturing or killing bin Laden when he had the chance, or going after him and the central nexus of al-Qaida terrorism in the Afghanistan/Pakistan frontier -- the whole of The Bush Plan has now devolved into nothing more than putting the perky Ms. Townsend in front of a camera on the Lord’s Day, six years after the murder of 3,000 Americans, and calling their murder a pussy.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

Go read the whole thing, because Drifty also talks about the world that would have been had five Supreme Court Justices not decided that a drunken wastrel would make a better president than a guy who could actually think and put two sentences together.
