Hour Two Guest: Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) on the revolt in Egypt and what our roll should be.The protests in Egypt are turning very ugly, very fast, as Mubarak supporters are clashing with protesters. Protesters were attacked by Mubarak backers, some of them mounted on horses and camels. Camels? Really? What’s next—an attack with chariots? I hope Cecil B. DeMille is getting all of this on film. I’m no expert, but I think a regime must be getting pretty desperate when they call out the camels.
There are indications that the pro-Mubarak crowds are professionally organized and paid. Brilliant. What do you do when the crowd is against you? Go out and hire a competing crowd! My question is, do the guys on the camels get paid extra? Hundreds of pro-Mubarak protesters appeared in an upscale neighborhood carrying identical signs and banners praising Mubarak. It’s the Egyptian version of the “Brooks Brothers Riot” during the 2000 election! Mubarak must have hired Karl Rove as a consultant. Actually, Mubarak seems to have taken this “professional protesters” thing to a whole new level. The Tea Party could learn some tricks for him. Next time there’s a protest to repeal healthcare, expect to see some Tea Partiers riding camels.
America is under a giant cloud, quite literally. In satellite images right now, the entire United States looks like a giant wedding cake with WAY too much frosting. Well, the entire US isn’t covered by the cloud. Somebody should tell America that its Florida is showing. At the bottom of the picture, a green Florida is poking out, like somebody shoved a pickle into a pile of mashed potatoes. If that’s difficult to visualize, sorry. It’s the only G-rated image I could come up with.
Finally, Michele Bachmann says she won’t go through airport body scanners because she’s afraid that “naked pictures” of her will end up on the internet. Come on, Michele—naked pictures of you couldn’t possibly be more embarrassing than the videos of your State of the Union rebuttal. At least if they take naked pictures of you, you have a decent chance of facing the correct camera. Take my advice, Michele—naked pictures are the best thing for you. You’re an attractive woman… with some very ugly ideas.
