BWAHAAHAAA!!!

One thing Little Miss Pissy Pants and her fluffers have in common: none have ever stood a post in their lives; hence the “macho” bullshit.

It was bad enough when CNN hired Ericksdottir, but since I’ve learned that CNN is paying this twit to make dumb people dumber, I’ve applied the Dr. Phil rule to them: not allowed on my television. Not even for a split-second.

It’s maddening to see major media outlets seek out the dumbest people they can find to hire as on-air “talent.” Though maybe I shouldn’t put that word in quotes…since we’ve all fantasized about impersonating one of them in order to sweep up some of that sweet, sweet wingnut welfare. But I’m sure anyone who has tried has discovered the same thing I have – it’s not possible for a thinking person to pull off, unless they are exceptionally talented at pretending to be dumb. Personally, I’m convinced that an accurate impersonation of the Gateway Dumbass cannot be successfully pulled off by any person of average or above-average intelligence, though it might be possible for an exceptionally gifted actor to successfully impersonate one the slightly-less-dim lights among the dim bulbs on the right. Such as Dana “Breitbart Attack Muppet” Loesch.

After little Ms Dana Loesch passes on to her great reward, whoa be it to the poor cemetery groundskeepers who will have to maintain her grave. Think of the smell.

I think Perry gave his shot at stepping his stupidity up a notch to make it to the “show” but couldn’t manage beltway dumb.
Round of snaps to you JofA! That was gawdclass snark!

What a golden shower.

Those teeth are sure yellow. Just sayin’.

Bill Maher supporting pissing on dead people doesn’t surprise me a bit. I can’t stand watching that whiny little prick ever since it became clear what an abject and unabashed coward he is. It’s too bad because I usually like what he says but his being eager to sacrifice his, (and of course my/our), liberties because he thinks the Taliban are lurking everywhere and that “Maher, William” is at the top of their dirty American infidel list is kind of a deal breaker for me.

Based on facial expression I doubt DL would be able to participate in her chosen activity… that kidney stone must be killing her.

I’ve read a lot of comments about this clown but I don’t remember any pointing out that Mean Dana is also Dumb Dana. She claimed that the Taliban killed 3,000 Americans, referring to September 11. Well, uh, that was al Qaeda that was kind of involved in that, wasn’t it? Not the Taliban.

As my granny used to say “she looks like she needs a good dose of salts.” What a face!

Looks to me like she needs to add fiber to her diet.

Same results! :)

Great title, by the way, Mr. Bogg.

Yes, but…Bill Maher isn’t a CNN on-air personality.

Interestingly though, he has had Dana on his panel, which is where I first learned she was dumb as a stump.

Yes, but…Bill Maher isn’t a CNN on-air personality.

I’m hep. Do you know who the reference was made about then? I don’t watch CNN. It’s no more “news” than FOX these days.

Just wink and say “sempre urini” (always urinate) Miss loesch, the motto says I’m a ruff and tuff ‘murican ready to do some sexy fetish corpse pissing.

Not sure I follow the question, but I did watch Maher’s show on Friday and seems like he did say he didn’t understand the uproar – which would be in keeping with a typical atheist sentiment – but I don’t recall any real crowing about it or insistence that pissing on dead Taliban soldiers was a good thing to do – it was just more, “I’m not upset about someone peeing on a dead body.”

…so take that with a grain of urinal cake.

you know what they say about porta-potties:

the sink’s too low, and the soap won’t lather.

SIMPly expressing their CORE’s value.

If you view the dead Taliban soldiers as the type of people who want to stone women for adultery and throw acid in the faces of girls for the crime of going to school, then yeah, having their corpses urinated on by a few Marines is not something to make a big deal about.

If you view filming a bunch of yahoo Marines laughing and peeing on dead bodies just because they are Muslims as a good way to reach the hearts and minds of the people in Afghanistan, and the region in general… then, yes, it is a big deal.

Exactly. Remember how the after-death treatment of the bodies of four US mercenaries (erm, private security contractors) was used to justify America’s giving the Lidice-on-steroids treatment to Fallujah?

It’s one thing for Marines who were just in battle to pee on their dead enemy. The Marines higher-ups say it’s wrong so I’ll go with that. Having read enough about World War II, Korea and Vietnam, desecration of the enemy dead isn’t exactly unusual. Disgusting, but not uncommon. The fact that war makes this type of action seem reasonable to soldiers in the field is ANOTHER good reason not to send men into war lightly. (This does not mean I would excuse rape, torturing prisoners, killing civilians, etc. Peeing on a dead enemy combatant isn’t the same level.)

But I have only limitless disgust for someone like Loesh, or Britbart, or Hoft, who get all brave and macho a few thousand miles from the fighting. They can please STFU.

1. The objective in this case is more political than military. Do you believe their behavior contributed to that objective?
2. The Geneva Accords protect military personnel under horrible circumstances from engaging in behavior that damages their own psyches and, if you are of a religious bent, their own souls.
3. Countries agree to rules of war to protect their own servicemen and servicewomen from atrocities as much as to protect potential enemies.
4. Discipline is a key component of an effective fighting force. Discipline broke down, badly.

Like the war itself, it is illegal. It is against the Geneva Convention to piss on the bodies of dead soldiers. Remember the Geneva Convention that Hogan is always yammering about to Sgt. Schultz and Col. Wilhelm Klink?

The screams of Loesch….almost as piercing as those of Malkin, and ever so sweet to hear. Operation Yellow Elephant has yet another recruit.

But seriously, folks…animalistic behavior from people at war? I mean, what the fuck? War turns humans into animals? Hoocoodanode? Dehumanizing the enemy to make it psychologically easier to kill the enemy? Oh my, what a novel concept. Combat infantrymen have always acted like animals on occasion, ’cause they’re treated like animals and acting like animals helps them stay alive in some circumstances. It’s not civilized men who blow each other apart with high powered weapons at close range, stab each other, blow each other up with Claymore mines, etc etc….it’s uncivilized men. This is why military training for combat troops is so hard; it’s part of turning civilized men (and women, these days) into killers.

From there it’s only a short step to becoming an animal, and those of us who haven’t been there stand on the other side of a great divide from those who have. This was true in in the days of the Roman legions and it’s true now. Was in the Last Good War, too…like our guys didn’t shoot prisoners and set Japanese on fire with flamethrowers to see how far they could run? They did those things and more, and a lot of it – then and now – is part of being glad you’re alive while the motherfucker who was trying to kill you is not. The moral of the story – and as we all know, every good story should have a moral – if you don’t want men to act like and turn into animals, don’t send them to war.

The other part, if it needs to be said…judge not, lest ye be judged. These guys are going to be marked by their experiences for the rest of their lives in ways even they don’t understand yet. My father would still waking up screaming when he was 70 years old in dreams of riding in a Higgins boat towards a hot beach with Japanese doing their level best to kill him and his friends with machine guns, rifles, mortars and every other killing implement they had at hand. (They were, be it noted, a hell of a lot tougher opponents than the Taliban, and just as dedicated to dying for their cause.) He told me if he personally could have killed every sonofabitch who was shooting at him, he would have done it in a heartbeat and thought no more of it than killing a fly – because they were trying to kill him. But it leaves a mark, it leaves scars that can’t be seen…and they last forever.

I thought for a moment that #9 on that list was a link here, only to recall that Tbogg is only a Somewhat Popular Blogger who has yet to level up to Popular Blogger. Keep grinding that snark.

Damn fine comment, which provides some much needed perspective. Thanks for posting it; reminds me of chats with WWII vets I worked alongside during summer jobs back in the 70s.

Can she do it standing up?

Sure, she pisses some people off, but she’s #1 in her pool because she’s such a whiz at yellow journalism. She may be a drip, but she’s flush with success!

Dana Splash of Big Urinalism. LOL

Would Dana be OK with Taliban soldiers pissing on the remains of American soldiers? Somehow, I think not. And what are the chances that this picture might recruit more Taliban soldiers to seek revenge and kill more US soldiers? Is she OK with that potential outcome? I guess I must be wired differently than these pundits/conservatives/Republicans.

Wacky-leaks: you do what you gotta do to climb the corporate bladder.

Waterboarding of detainees, authorized by war criminals in the previous Bush/Cheney administration, executed by soldiers following orders and by for-profit private contract torturers. Lawlessness. Violations of the Geneva Conventions.

Gee, I wonder if this latest incident involving U.S. soldiers desecrating the corpses of those they killed in Afghanistan by pissing on the bodies is somehow connected to the lawlessness begun ten years ago by arch-conservative Republicans?

It is against the Geneva Convention to piss on the bodies of dead soldiers.

Well, yeah, if you’re going to be all technical about it. But I recall during the reign of God-King Dubya that it was declared that the Geneva Conventions weren’t applicable to Afghanistan because SHUT UP, that’s why.

Maybe that determination is still in place. Gitmo is still open, afterall.

Geneva Conventions=quaint.

Teaching people to kill ends badly.

OH: so you believe that two wrongs make a “right”?

amirite?

Bully for you.

It’s true that a lotta shit happens in the “theatre” of war. Hard to imagine the stress that combatants face daily, and so whatever they do to relieve some stress or whatever probably just is a fact of that kind of “life.”

Fine. WAR, Inc is implemented for the 1% to make money. The canon fodder military personnel are gonna make through any way they can.

Rightwing dunces make asses out of themselves daily. It’s become an unfortunate fact of life, but their tawdry chest thumping over something that they have the barest capability of actually “understanding” is tedious in the extreme.
