There goes a naked politician. Gohmert’s now caught in a stinking, lumbering lie. Might as well take his embarrassment out on Anderson Cooper.

He apparently thinks that if something could be true, then what’s the diff? No one likes a terrorist, so what does it matter if Louie’s a liar? Sheesh, Anderson.

And the ‘controversy‘ ends.

Does it matter if a politician tells an outrageous, howling lie? Of course it does, it could end his or her career.

Does it matter if a lunatic Republican tells an outrageous lie? Yes it does — how else are they gonna get TV time and fire up the base? Hell, the truth won’t do that for the wingnuts, that stuff is BORING.

Hilarious, screeching lying is the feed of fear farmers, and there’s plenty here. And the biggest bull-milker would be Louie Gohmert.

Reported on June 27, Gohmert (R–TX, of course) took to the House floor, saying that he talked to a retired FBI agent who knew of terrorists bringing in pregnant women to have children here so that the kids would have American citizenship. Then they’d return home, train the kids to be terrorists, and then send the grown-up anti-American murderers back to the states to “destroy our way of life.”

And thus was born the “Terror Babies!” knee-slapper. Sensing a good thing — volcanic bugshit — Gohmert was happy to flog it again, about a week later. But this time, with a twist.

Appearing on Fox Business Channel (?), he trotted out his “Terror Babies!” again. But, oddly, he now had a completely different source for the shocking revelation: someone he personally knew heard about it first hand. From the grandmother of two of the Terror Babies.

You see, as Gohmert and his people were flying to the Middle East on a passenger plane, one of them, just minding his own business, had the woman sitting next to him inexplicably detail the whole thing. Turns out it’s a program being run by Hamas.

Grandma married into Hamas, her son-in-law is Hamas, and she simply had to tell the stranger sitting next to her how they assured the babies’ citizenships by flying her pregnant daughter to HAmerica. Now, some day, you can bet she’ll send them back to, you know, murder us all.

This is some serious stuff. Serious enough that, some day, the bullcrap may sprout legs and walk out of Texas. Just not this week.

Texas State Rep. Debbie Riddle has some shocking news for Anderson Cooper: here come the “Terror Babies!”

COOPER: Representative Riddle, you told my producer that pregnant women are coming here as tourists, having babies, and then going back home — quote — “with the nefarious purpose of turning them into little terrorists, who will then come back to the U.S. and do us harm.” You said it’s part of an organized terrorist element and could cost us lives. Where did you hear that?

RIDDLE: Uh, that is information that is coming to my office from former FBI officials.

WOAH — she’s got Gohmert beat. Her office has talked to several FBI guys.

COOPER: But you have no actual evidence?

RIDDLE: Other than that coming from former FBI folks.

COOPER: Can you tell us who these former FBI folks are, and what evidence they have or what evidence they’ve shown you?

RIDDLE: At this point, uh, I’m not going to reveal that.

Come on, Anderson. Do you expect her to tell you she howls at the moon?

Barack Obama, former CIA agent
By Deanna Spingola

I recently had the pleasure of talking with Dr. James David Manning who has been ministering to the people of Harlem since 1981 . .

Actual bio quote: 'Deanna Spingola has been a quilt designer and is the author of two books.'

Dr. Manning heads the Columbia Obama Treason Trial which is scheduled for May 14-19, 2010 at the ATLAH building at 38 West 123rd Street in ATLAH, New York, 10027 . .

The CIA needed Muslims or others who were fluent in Farsi and who could easily blend into the Muslim environment in the Middle East. The CIA persuaded Columbia University to extend their foreign student program to Obama, now a Columbia student, so that he might travel to Pakistan and enroll in the universities around Karachi in addition to the Patrice Lumumba School in Moscow . .

Obama, as an undercover agent, was the lead agent in the arms and money supply for the CIA-trained Taliban Army against the Soviet Army war machine. His actions were integral to the Taliban’s success in their opposition to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Obama, it is publicly acknowledged, went to Pakistan in 1981. There is no way of knowing how often Obama traveled between Pakistan and Russia. According to Dr. Manning, Obama was an interpreter for the CIA during the war in Afghanistan. When Obama completed his CIA operations in the mid 1980s and returned to the U.S. he persuaded the State Department to maneuver his entrance into Harvard Law School . .

Boo! Well, now John Bolton will have to advocate bombing Scandinavia, too.

Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

OSLO (Reuters) – U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for giving the world “hope for a better future” and striving for nuclear disarmament, in a surprise award that drew criticism as well as praise.

“Very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said in a citation.

The more you think about it, the more you can understand how the surprise happened. His blunt assessments of American past mistakes in foreign policy had to give people a sense of a grounded presence in the role of ‘Leader of the Free World.’ His willingness to do the same for the actors in the Middle East, including Israel, while providing an outline for the future gave people some hope that sanity and rational thought might win out, even there. His opposition to settlements backed up that philosophy.

The fact that a President who is presiding over two wars fighting terrorism, who is about to change the Afghan strategy to chasing and killing Al Qaeda over the Taliban, could still get a Palestinian official to react to the award this way says quite a bit:

…the chief Palestinian peace negotiator, Saeb Erekat, welcomed the award to Obama and expressed hope that “he will be able to achieve peace in the Middle East.”

That’s a shocking change in attitude from the Palestinians. This is the sort of the thing the committee was probably taking into account. More:

Nobel Committee Chairman Thorbjoern Jagland rejected suggestions from journalists that Obama was getting the prize too early, saying it recognized what he had already done over the past year.

The committee said it attached “special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons,” saying he had “created a new climate in international politics.”

That is true. And remember this? The speech in Cairo, to ‘seek a new beginning’? It was extraordinary.

That surely played a part in it, no President has ever given a speech remotely like it. And don’t forget what the entire continent of Africa feels about the guy:

Abroad, he is still widely seen around the world as an inspirational figure.

Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, who had been tipped as a favorite for the prize, told Reuters that Obama was a deserving candidate and an “extraordinary example.”

Clearly, the committee wanted to get on the bandwagon with the new President to perhaps give him a little more star power and leverage in working in solving international problems. If he’s around for 8 years, his second term would be the one where real progress in the Middle East and combating nuclear proliferation could happen. This is an award more for what could happen than for what has happened, so it’s risky. It will be criticized quite a bit.

But they’re betting on a guy that’s great at getting a positive message out and been pretty good at figuring out complex problems over the long run. He’s already decided to exit Iraq, shut down Guantanamo, ban torture, change the Afghan strategy, call out Iran for its hidden enrichment facility (which resulted in its allowing inspections), criticize Israel for its shortsightedness, and shift to a more centralized, substantive role in the Middle East. Think of how radical a change that is for the ‘Leader of the Free World’ from the last eight years. That’s a good start.

And does it say much for the Peace Prize news that the reactionary, violent peoples of the world, our wingnuts included, will speak and have already spoken up about it, and despise it?

Liaqat Baluch, a senior leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami, a conservative religious party in Pakistan, called the award an embarrassing “joke.”

The Taliban: “We condemn the award of the Noble Peace Prize for Obama,” he said by telephone from an undisclosed location. “We condemn the institute’s awarding him the peace prize. We condemn this year’s peace prize as unjust.”

Expect more of that from the terrorists, the obstructionists in the Middle East and our American conservatives.

Apprised of the sudden and surprising change in maps worldwide, the Prime Shminister of Israel dispatched an intelligence detachment to slip into Lebanon and climb some Cedars.

‘I’m not seeing much of anything’ Agent Shlomo said, peering off into the distance, one hand holding onto a branch, the other poised over his brow.

Then: ‘Wait–hold it. Mmm…yup. Pyramids.’

Following up the original video clip that got banned off the biggest sites on the planet (just exactly why, I still don’t really know), Max’s got a sequel that’s less drunken and no wiser.
