Did you know President Bush’s nominee for Deputy Director of USAID was Paul Bonicelli of Patrick Henry College? I didn't either. Rick Moran doesn't like the idea for all the wrong reasons, but it was certainly interesting.
Rick's not always wrong, though, consider:
Last summer [The CIA] leaked a National Intelligence Estimate on Iran that assured us the mad mullahs were 10 years from getting the bomb. The leak was aimed at discrediting the Bush Administration who had been ratcheting up the rhetoric against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
Imagine our surprise when America hating IAEA Chairman Muhammad ElBaradei said just yesterday that the radioactive ayatollahs are 6 months from constructing a nuclear weapon. The fact that we are surprised at this doesn’t trouble me. But isn’t it just a little bit disturbing that the CIA was off in its estimate of Iran’s nuclear capability by 9 1/2 years?
So for breathtaking incompetence above and beyond just about anything imaginable, the CIA walks away with the coveted Cluebat of the Week.
There are links to 29 other posts covering such topics as Arlen Spector's overweening football fandom, the ACLU, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Ward Churchill, breastfeeding in public (Rick's wrong again, but he's so nice about it you can't help but like him), C.S. Lewis and The Chronicles of Narnia, a skyscraper in Taipei that scientists believe could be causing (proximately) earthquakes, Christmas trees ("The fact that intelligent, rational human beings are even discussing this shows the absolute, total cluelessness of the left in opposing the idea of a “Christmas” tree."), and much more. Parental previewing probably required for some of the links.

ReplyDeletePretend scientists, maybe. None of the real kind think that.
