Jumping the Sharknado with Jenghazi Rubin

Sure, Jengahzi. What the world needs now is Governor Goodhair.

Jan. 12, 2006

The governor of Texas is despicable. Of all the crass pandering, of all the gross political kowtowing to ignorance, we haven't seen anything this rank from Gov. Goodhair since … gee, last fall.

Then he was trying to draw attention away from his spectacular failure on public schools by convincing Texans that gay marriage was a horrible threat to us all. Now he's trying to disguise the fact that the schools are in free-fall by proposing that we teach creationism in biology classes.

May Fred Hiatt be infested by the fleas of a thousand camels for hiring this whackjob. Jenghazi's approach to any politician is simple: Is this person more or less likely to get America to bomb the Likud's enemies? By October of 2011, she'd become convinced that Mitt Romney was the man, so she relentlessly attacked Rick Perry. The GOP bench is looking thin for 2016, so now she's warming up to him.

I have a theory that Brian Kilmeade's purpose on "FAUX and Fiends" is to make Steve Doocy seem slightly less moronic by comparison. I suppose Rubin serves the same function at the WaPo for Fred Hiatt and Jackson Diehl.

P.S. Relief from the hackitude:

A Wretched Hive Of Scum And Villainy

Obi-Wan: Mos Eisley spaceport - You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.



Speaking of wretched hives...



Jennifer Rubin at the War Criminal Post:

This is a sobering reminder for those who think it’s too expensive to wage a war against jihadists. I spoke to Gary Schmitt of the American Enterprise Institute, who has been critical of proposed cuts in defense and of President Obama’s Afghanistan withdrawal plan. “There has been a lot of talk over the past few months on how we’ve got al-Qaeda on the run and, compared with what it once was, it’s become a rump organization. But as the attack in Oslo reminds us, there are plenty of al-Qaeda allies still operating. No doubt cutting the head off a snake is important; the problem is, we’re dealing with global nest of snakes.”

The Washington Post no longer employs an ombudsman (whether the last quit in despair or was fired as a useless expenditure, I do not know). But the WaPoop can't just go full shrieking harpy, can it?

Update: Ms. Rubin has issued her nonpology.


I won't quote any of it, Thers has a fine shorter. If the WaPo had a shred of dignity left, it would fire this woman immediately (of course, if it did she wouldn't have been hired in the first place).

Here's a picture of the jihadist (h/t M.B.):



Last Update: That armpatch.
