Tonight on Tweety there was a Senator after Kerry. Who was he? He was dumb as a stump.

[DuaneBidoux]

He was critical of Obama because he hadn't "taken more of a stand with the people of Iran."
Tweety gave him a quick overview of many of the times we have fucked Iran over and ask might they look at their history and be suspicious of our motives.-- Tweety said is several times and finally the senator said "that's a long time ago, that's sixty years ago." It was like my mouth dropped open. 60 years a long time? Does this guy, could this guy, even have a grip on how long Persians have occupied that land? Sixty years is a hillbilly spit up hill for this culture.

Insane the absolute ignorance. I think this guy was on some kind of foreign affairs committee.

[Hissyspit]

1. Chambliss?

[Thrill]

2. Saxby Chambliss. He's one of the dumbest people in the Senate.

.

[calimary]

13. Let's not forget that this miserable piece of human excrement had the GALL to call

Max Cleland a traitor and unAmerican and a Saddam/Osama lover because he opposed the war. Cleland lost three limbs in Vietnam, while chambliss stayed home with his deferment excuses. He's a shallow, misinformed, stupid, hypocritical chickenhawk. I must say his return to the Senate makes me look askance on the voters of Georgia. They were okay with this vile beast for a second term? Tells you more about them than even about him. :eyes:

[Liquorice]

14. Saxby stole that election. There's a lot of information on the internet about it. nt

[depakid]

20. Rob Georgia

Remember it well. And yep, statistical anomalies damn near prove the theft on their, without the rob Georgial files.

[calimary]

21. Wouldn't surprise me in the least. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why ANYONE

would want to vote for that COMPLETE Zero. He is a worthless piece of garbage.

[JI7]

3. just because wingnuts are ignorant of their own country and history they think everyone else is also

[shraby]

4. He certainly doesn't know the culture. They still

resent the crusades for Chris' sakes. Affronts are not easily forgotten in those parts. They become the stuff of legends.

[JeffR]

7. "Culture" and "Chambliss" don't belong in the same sentence.

They're mutually incompatible.

[Jane Austin]

9. And Chambliss speaking about Clean Elections

had my jaw on the floor.

[JeffR]

10. Yes.

Worthy of note. Keep in mind Saxby's too dense to grasp the concept of irony, along with reality and rationality. How this man gets out of bed and brushes his tooth in the morning is beyond me. I guess he has a very busy team of aides.

[yourout]

5. Asshole....Chambliss knows if Obama comes out in support of the protesters....

it would instantly sink his chances because of all the mistrust of the US that Bushco has brought us.

But he thinks he can score some political points with the low brows by spreading this BS.

[RandomThoughts]

6. Lots of less then bright followers were put in office

because they would not question what they were told to do. Its just like a corporation, many times people get picked because they do what they are told not because they think.


Its part of the system going down.

[4lbs]

8. Chambliss is the one who campaigned against Democrat Max Cleland for the Senate and tried to portray

Cleland as a bedfellow of Osama Bin Laden.

Cleland is a war hero who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam; yet Chambliss, a freakin' chickenhawk too scared to serve in the military and received four deferrments, smeared him.

[Supersedeas]

25. how the media can fail to mention this every time he has airtime is beyond me

[rufus dog]

11. If Obama took a stand they would rip him for supporting Iran over Israel

They have truly given up on the USA and are only in it to bitch.

[niceypoo]

12. They are all like that

Dont believe me? Look at their 'http://www.gopleader.gov/UploadedFiles/06-17-09_House__GOP_Solutions__Group__Outline.pdf">Healthcare plan':

[zbdent]

15. "60 years a long time?" - isn't that like, 1/100th of the life span

of the Earth, according to the Creationists?

[old mark]

16. Saxby is one of my least favorite people on earth - he ranks with

Newt, Rove, Pat Buchanan, Cheney and Rick Santorum in my opinion as the GOP's leading scum.

He can make Sarah Palin look like an intellectual.

17. It was Chambliss - here is the video for that segment

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036697/vp/31433050#31433050

Beyond foreign policy ignorance, I am amazed that a Senator would not know that "mutation" - has nothing to do with being "mute".

The segment has Senator Kerry first - giving Chambliss the opportunity to comment on Kerry's comments - but not the reverse. Fortunately, Kerry's knowledgeable, coherent comments stand on their own - and Chambliss was incredibly weak. (Maybe McCain and Graham didn't want to be there if Kerry was - knowing how he has blown them away in the past.)

Chambliss is on the Intelligence and the Armed Services Committee. He is not on Foreign Relations.

[LiberalFighter]

18. Yet, Senator Lugar who is on the Foreign Relations committee and ranking member

States:

No. I think for the moment our position is to allow the Iranians to work out their situation. When popular revolutions occur, they come really from the people. They’re generated by people power within the country. For us to become heavily involved in the election at this point is to give the clergy an opportunity to have an enemy…and to use us, really, to retain their power. 6/15/2009

Chambliss on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee? NO
McCain on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee? NO

[karynnj]

19. Kerry and Lugar really seem to set a tone of mutual respect in that committee

They have had many really unusual, insightful hearings so far this year. http://foreign.senate.gov/hearing.html

The one on Iran, which is most related to this thread, was on May 6.

[JI7]

22. Chambliss one called for arresting every Muslim that came into his state

this was a couple months after 9/11.

[Vinca]

23. I've got the perfect solution for Chambliss, McCain and the rest

of the war mongerers. Let's fill up a plane with them and put them smack dab in the middle of Tehran to deal with the situation. It goes without saying we won't be risking the lives of American security officers to protect them. This bunch talks big, but their motives have nothing to do with Iran and everything to do with opposing Obama on everything he does.

[treestar]

24. Reminds me of McCain saying he could win wars

He knew how to win wars.

And since he knows how to handle this he should handle it.

He also owes us OBL, who he knows how to find.
