Billmon: 04/13

UPDATE:

He may be a demented old war criminal, but he’s a funny demented old war criminal. And in my book, that still counts for something.

Gin Rummy

(Scene: A somewhat seedy looking diner somewhere outside of Houston, Texas. A line of nattily dressed corporate vice presidents — looking distinctly out of place in such a dive — sit at the counter reading menus. Behind the counter, Jack Abramoff, in apron and paper cap, is taking orders. There’s a pass through in the wall behind him, and in the kitchen we see a sweaty Tom DeLay, in a greasy apron and paper cap, working the grill.)

Order Up (you wil love this meal)

Oh, yea. billmon is back and on fire. I’ve been waiting patiently for one of his plays, and he doesn’t disappoint.

OT, but not-
I wrote a diary for dKos here riffing on B’s post about Gharwar.
So I’m pimping it here before I go to work.

Hey Kids! Let’s put on a show!
Didn’t NPR, back when it was good, 70s-80s say, feature a lunatic group called something like Capitol Steps Players, or some such, that performed such things? Billmon – someone – get some good voices and get this on the radio!!

Hamburger: there’s a group called the Capitol Steps which goes around doing political satire. Well worth seeing if you get a chance.

When I read what Rummy had said about the integrity of the Iraqi government, I thought the same thing. Do as I say, not what I do.

another rummyism:
“We have freedom on our side and we’re going to enforce it.”
