Avert your eyes...bad gay post

I almost hate to have to explain The Jawa Report philosophy of the gays, but we have so many new readers that a brief introduction is in order.

There's good gay and bad gay.

Good gay? Two hot chicks.
Bad gay? Everything else.

Which pretty much means all gay is bad. But, of course, there's bad gay and there's Andrew-Sulliva-bad-gay which is the top of the bad gayometer.

With that in mind, we present you with two stories that score a ten on the Sulli scale. One having to do with the former bad-gay-in-denial governor of New Jersey. The other deals with the I'm-not-bad-gay-but-I-have-sex-with-men type.

Oh, the humanity!

Good gay palette cleansing below more...

Condi and the Bachelor

(Stellarton, Nova Scotia) I noticed a provocative piece in today's Toronto Star which hints that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has a very special personal relationship with Ottawa's most eligible bachelor, Foreign Affairs Minister Peter MacKay.

During a spring visit with Rice in Washington, MacKay, who turns 41 two weeks from today, had gushed that the two shared a "chemistry" and conceded he had always been a "fan."
MacKay steered clear of any such fawning talk yesterday. But it was obvious he was smitten with one of the world's most powerful women as they exchanged a handshake and double-cheek kiss. The feeling appeared mutual. Rice, who has never married, repeatedly called MacKay by his first name and seemed in no rush to finish up her morning agenda.
"This has been a lovely trip, Peter," she told him.

The piece lacks lust but it's packed with "Oh, how sweet." Think about it. He gushed of chemistry and she had a lovely trip. Just like peas and carrots.

10 Well, the only thing I have to say is this, I would never take any part of Canada into the US unless Canada was forced to take New England and the West Coast(Californistan, Oregonistan, and Washingtonistan) plus New York. Then I would like to have Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, the NW Territories, and the Yukon in exchange. Sounds like a fair trade to me. Canada could get some more people, and us rednecks in the US could get some good hunting and fishing territory.

Thanks, ABC

The closing scene of "Path to 9/11", which depicts the collapse of the World Trade Center, was one of the most moving and riveting movie scenes I've had the opportunity to view in recent years.

My hat's off to writer Cyrus Nowrasteh and director David Cunningham for the quality of this production. And I thank ABC and Disney for sticking by their guns and showing the film largely intact, despite a full-court press by the Democrat leadership, who spent most of last week whining that the film wasn't fair to the Clinton legacy. What a bunch of babies. I'd have preferred that the Dems not have the ammunition to knock the production, but despite taking certain liberties with the details, Nowrasteh's script definitely gets the important things right. And he doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the performance of the Clinton or Bush administrations in fighting terror. To be fair to both presidents, 99% of us didn't take Osama bin Laden seriously before 9-11. What a difference one day can make.

As FBI agent John O'Neill, Harvey Keitel put in the excellent performance we've long since come to expect from him, while Donnie Wahlberg kicked some serious ass as CIA agent "Kirk." Quite a different character from Carwood Lipton, the quiet soldier he played in Band of Brothers. I hope to see a lot more from him. It takes some serious talent to be able to play both Milton "red stapler" Waddams and Richard Clarke, but the chronically-underappreciated Stephen Root clearly has the talent to knock both roles out of the park. Finally, a pissed-off Patricia Heaton on a rampage is pretty much the sexiest thing I've seen this year. Wow.

If you didn't catch it on ABC, find someone who TiVo'd it, or grab it on DVD when it comes out. It's worth watching.

2 Gawd - Patricia was pretty awesome. If there were just a handfull of people who deserve a public shaming for their actions prior to 9/11 Barbara Bodine would be near the top. Obstructionist would be putting it lightly. When they replaced Bremmer with her I just about puked.

If you guys never saw Frontline's "The Man Who Knew" you've missed out. BUT, you can catch it here:

Richard Clarke is all over it, but it was long before the '04 election so he's bearable. But you gotta love Fran Townsend. Glad to see she stuck around for the Bush admin.

3 Stephen Root - very underrated! Remarkable performance of the blind radio station owner in "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?" (classic - Homer's Odyssey set in '30's Mississippi). He really nailed that - I've know several sightless folks in my days, and it's not as easy as just "fumbling around" to serve up a convincing portrayal.

Patricia Heaton. Jeesh - Hot, just hot. No matter what.

7 I did not watch the movie. I just watched the compressed 40 min at hot air. I now know that I hate the Clintons and their people more now than before for their complete self involvement. It is this character flaw alone that enabled our enemies to grow in Power. That was a tough 8 minutes to get through. I want all muslims to die right now.

Posted by: SeeMonk at September 12, 2006 05:13 PM (n4VvM)

8 heh... Newsradio is one of my favorite shows, didn't enjoy it nearly as much without Hartman. Dave Foley was great on it, now he hosts a poker show, makes me want to cry.

About this movie, I do think it was a mistake for the right to support it. Look at how hated Bush is amongst many media types. Now just wait for the movie where he and Cheney are shown feasting on children (or something far more mundane but just as false) because the writers wanted to "exercise their creative license."

10 It was far better than most television movies without question, but with Stephen Root playing Clarke I kept waiting for him to call a covert action into Clinton's office to take back his Swingline. I've got to admit it did distract me a bit.

Donnie Walberg has always been a good actor, far better than his brother, but he was very good in this role and as Lipton. Patricia Heaton . . . wow.

And by the way MountainMan, that letter is wrong. The mini-series took shots at everyone and the overall message was, sadly, truthful. There were numerous missteps leading up to 9/11 and no one can deny that, but the people who were leading the charge threatening to cancel ABC's license are the ones who politicized the mini-series. That's shameful and your failure to recognize that is as ridiculous as your question.

12 Rich said: "Encouraging this kind of "docudrama" will come back to bite you one day. All sides should fight rewriting history whether they agree with the intent or not."

I agree, to a point. For the record, quite a few right-wing bloggers expressed the sentiment that the movie should've been revised to conform to the known facts where possible. As I've said before in comments here & elsewhere--why hand your opponents ammunition when you don't have to? If you have the facts on your side, just go with the facts. I, for one, would love to see that be the rule.

On the other hand, we generally don't have transcripts of the actual conversations that took place in cabinet meetings. If you're going to dramatize dialogue like that at all, a certain amount of "creative license" is necessary.

Here's an idea: how about we make a guideline that characters in movies are generally limited to words the real individuals actually said or wrote? If you need Sandy Berger or Madeline Albright to say something controversial in a movie, find the words in a speech or memo. Even then, there's always the claim that words were "taken out of context" or whatever, but that would allow the writers some creative license while keeping them close to the facts.

Posted by: The All-Seeing Pirate Ragnar at September 12, 2006 06:03 PM (c/4ax)

13 Well, taking words from speeches and using them out of context isn't really an improvement but, it's not so much the cabinet meetings I'm talking about. In fact, I understand to portray private conversations and the like requires a little imagination and applying what has been learned from sources like the commission report.

My problem is the complete fabrication of events. There's one scene in particular I can cite. The basics of the scene is that CIA personel are looking at Bin Laden asking for further instruction from Washington and the Clinton admin balks and says a presentation needs to be made to Clinton.

This scene is compilation of a few separate actual events as well as some creative license. The particular confluence of events that would conveniently put the CIA in a position to visually identify and kill or capture Bin Laden simply did not happen.

That's not to say I think the Clinton admin would have pulled the trigger given that chance, sadly, I doubt it. The fact remains though, no one knows for sure because it never happened.

Posted by: Rich at September 12, 2006 06:19 PM (89Rw1)

14 Rich, you're right - that may not have happened. But what did happen was even worse: The Clinton Admin. turning down the offer of Bin Laden served up on a silver plate because they didn't have a "legal" case to hold him. They got off easy in this case, especially with it cut as short as they did.

Posted by: Editor at September 12, 2006 06:30 PM (adpJH)

15 Youâ€™ve got to watch this...

http://www.infowars.com/articles/sept11/controlled_demolition_expert_and_wtc_7.htm

A Dutch expert on controlled demolition is shown video footage of the collapse of WTC Building 7 â€” without being told what it is! (He was unaware there was a THIRD tower that collapsed on 9/11).

As heâ€™s shown the freefall collapse (6.6 seconds) from multiple angles, the reporter repeatedly asks the demolition professional whether or not itâ€™s a controlled demolition.

His answer: Absolutely...without a doubt.

Heâ€™s then told this was one of the WTC towers, and that it was pulled on 9/11/01, eight hours after the collapse of the Twin Towers...

Youâ€™ve got to see the manâ€™s look of utter disbelief...

Posted by: Greg at September 12, 2006 06:35 PM (PnoGS)

16 Rich -

As you may know, ABC re-edited the scene in question to take out the footage of the CIA agents in position on the ground to take out bin Laden.

ABC kept the DC end of the teleconference in, but without the footage of the CIA agents on the ground, it's not clear what's going on in Afghanistan. Could be an air raid--which would be pretty close to at least one actual situation.

I had a problem with the original scene. I had much less problem with the revised scene.

For the most controversial points in a docudrama, I'll agree with you that staying close to the facts is ideal and should be encouraged.

Posted by: The All-Seeing Pirate Ragnar at September 12, 2006 06:46 PM (c/4ax)

17 Editor, you're also right however, they were correct, they had no legal case.

This means nothing now in respect to foreign terrorists but, prior to 9/11 there was no authority for something like gitmo. Even now, that authority is in question. So no president, republican or democrat would have been able to hold him prior to 9/11.

I'll go one further just so I don't get flamed for defending Clinton (even though I thought he was an ok president). There was an opportunity to kill him. It was a wedding party in Afghanastan if I remember correctly. We were fairly certain (not 100% though) he was there and were prepared to launch missles at the site. It was decided we couldn't do it unless we were 100% sure he was there since it would result in over a hundred causalities.

I think Clinton should have gone for it. He discusses it in his book as his biggest regret of his presidency.

Posted by: Rich at September 12, 2006 06:52 PM (89Rw1)

18 Didn't happen man, you don't run an operation like that under those circumstances. You really need to stop talking that way. Consider this a heads up. After yesterday's little display at the WTC site, the spooks have decided to run a counter op. If you really are in the employ of the govt your job may be the least of your worries.

Posted by: SeeMonk at September 12, 2006 06:53 PM (n4VvM)

19 The All-Seeing Pirate Ragnar, I was unaware of the change. No, I didn't see it, I just wasn't interested. With the change you mention I don't have as much of a problem but, as you said, they could have stuck to reality completely and still put forth their agenda.

I think I even discussed in my prior post the actual event you mentioned as being similar to an air raid.

Posted by: Rich at September 12, 2006 06:56 PM (89Rw1)

20 >>>His answer: Absolutely...without a doubt.

Greg,

Why didn't they ask him whether the Twin Towers were pulled down, and film his reaction to that (the reason is obvious).

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at September 12, 2006 06:57 PM (paKD6)

BTW, Rich, you really think using an individual's actual sentiments and arguments from published comtemporaneous speeches and writings wouldn't be an improvement over making dialogue up from scratch?

Suppose "Alternate line 1" is based on actual statements made by Powell, and "Alternate line 2" is fabricated. Even though the content is similar, I think Powell would have much less reason to complain about the first line.

Scene: Cabinet meeting, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell

POWELL, Alternate line 1: I'm concerned that there has not been a sufficiently thorough investigation done, here. There seems to be an incentive to provide intelligence that meets certain preconceived notions held by top level players. If I'm gonna present this argument to the U.N., I need solid information. And suppose we go in. Then what? All this is not even to mention the casualties that are likely to be incurred in a full-scale ground invasion. This is like Pottery Barn, Don--you break it, you bought it.

POWELL, Alternate line 2: Don, you soulless neocon sonofabitch, your DIA boys aren't doing a thorough investigation here because you WANT this to be true, you NEED this to be true. You want me to stand up there at that podium in some faggity blue UN helmet and tell the good people of the world that Saddam Hussein has a million-jizillion thermonuclear warheads and he's ready to drop every last one of those fuckers on a nursery school in Poughkeepsie! You know that's a DAMN LIE, Don!!! HOW MANY DAMN GOOD PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE YOU TELL THE TRUTH TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!?!?!?!? [POWELL JUMPS ACROSS THE CONFERENCE TABLE AND STRANGLES RUMSFELD]

22 Carlos,
So again, you admit that WTC7 was a controlled demolition?

Posted by: Greg at September 12, 2006 07:38 PM (PnoGS)

23 The All-Seeing Pirate Ragnar, it's not complete thoughts, like you posted, that I'm worried about. Obviously if they took a complete thought, word for word and used it, it'd be fine. What I had in mind was something more like:

Clinton: "I did... have sexual relations with... Osama Bin Laden"

Posted by: Rich at September 12, 2006 07:57 PM (89Rw1)

24 Rich, to say that the Left might start making movies disabusing the facts of 9/11 is pretty comical. They have already made several, and I'm sure many more are in the works, so I think this one still leaves our side short-changed. I'd say about 10 more would perhaps start to even the score, but you have to get 1 in your column before you get 2. And Greg, you're mentally ill. You have a fixation with this, and you need to see a doctor.

I don't think I ever said it hadn't been done by the left. If that's the way you read it, sorry, that's not what I meant. What I said was we shouldn't encourage it from either side.

28 Actually Rich, I missed the show, as I was busy. I really don't put much stock in any of this, but I do imagine that the ABC movie was more accurate than Michael Moore's masterpiece, for example. What this all comes down to is politics, and I suppose some of this will be decided to a certain degree in November, notwithstanding any other excitement that might occur in the meantime. I'm about to start getting ready for deer and duck season, so at some point I will be too busy to argue any of this.

I love how you "truthers" brandish the word "admit" all the time, as if giving an opinion is an "admission", as if my opinion "proves" your kooky illuminati theories.

I don't "admit" shyte, but I do think tower 7 was pulled. The NYFP commander apparently said tower 7 was beyond salvaging and should be pulled. That's all the info we have on it.

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at September 13, 2006 07:44 AM (paKD6)

31 Well except one entire bottom corner on the other side was gone and on fire. A cornerstone is called that because it's fucking important. It is a lot more likely that the building collapsed due to too much damage on the other side and fire. It does appear rather even but unlikely shit happens. Also in the film the quibs greg taks about are much smaller than in other demolitions I viewed. also the sound and flashes are missing. It could be that the back half of the building is alread collapsing and the air is being forced out from that. Ive seen ti all greg makes sure I do.

So, in an effort to spread the felicity of marital bliss, let's hook these bloggers up. It worked for our own blogger Vinnie (more commonly known around here as Pete Carrol's biyatch) and Merri (more commonly known around here as that Helen Keller chick).

Jack M. winks at Mary Katherine, but rumor has it Mary Kate is only into IDF dudes. Bethany winks at Allah, Allah has this reaction.

A warning to Jack M. and Allah: rumor has it Professor Chaos also wants to throw his hat into the Mary K. and Bethany suitor ring.

R.S.V.P.

Dearest Adam aka Azzam the American,

Thank you for the invitation to your death cult meeting this Friday. All five times this Friday. And every Friday after that. Well, that's sort of simplistic, I know. It's actually five times a day every day for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, I will be unable to attend.

As much as I would like to engage in 7th Century barbaric practices, I happen to have my own religion at the moment. You may have heard of it, it's called "Catholic."

Sure, at one time, my religion engaged in 7th Century barbaric practices, but, we've pretty much gave them up. And sure, we have some issues to work out even now, but nothing that compares to strapping on a bomb belt and blowing yourself up in an Israeli pizzeria. Or flying 757s into skyscrapers.

As an aside, did you know there are 1.7 billion Catholics alone, out of 2.1 billion Christians, in the world?

Think about that the next time you whine about me offending 1.2 billion muslims with the term "Islamotard."

Anyway, thanks for the invite, but I'd rather stay with my religion at the moment. After all, we were the ones who invented "The Crusades."

Enjoy your gruesome death.

Infidelously yours,

Vinnie.

1 Ummm.... you realize that Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun is one of the classic anti-war books written? That is the movie they are using in their video.

3 What the left doesn't understand is that the right doesn't want war. Anybody that has been there doesn't want war. The problem is that the left doesn't want war at any cost, while the right understands war is sometimes necessary. But like you said, perhaps we're just not nuanced enough...

4 I read the book on HS. Great book I recommend it. ER uh I'll give Vinnie that this video kicks ass.

Posted by: Darth Odie at September 01, 2006 09:05 AM (YdcZ0)

5 After seeing this video as a kid, I read the book by Trumbo, and was really struck by it. I also watched the movie. That was probably grade 7 or 8. Too much too young, maybe. It always stuck with me.

While I do think it is a great book, and a great movie, I think that the anti-war crowd are the ones not quite nuanced enough. While this work does point out the absolute horrors of war, and how a person can be dead while alive as a result of war, I don't remember it ever nuancing things enough to address issues worth fighting for. As you can see in the video, the father says, "For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son." I see two things here - 1) the term "democracy" isn't nuanced at all. I believe the war referenced in the book (it has been a while) was WW1. There is much more to the causes and purposes of WW1 than "democracy." While that line is powerful and emotionally charged, it does not communicate the full extent of why we go to war. 2) That line links war/democracy with Christian religion. The "only begotten son," bit is lifted straight from Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, and Christ's death on the cross. While the book/film probably uses this for emotional effect, or, possibly (like I said, its been a while) to link war with religion (in America anyway), the effect is a very un-nuanced vision of what war is. It portrays people as unthinking sheep who go to war for a simple ideal. But there is much more to war than just that. Also, if I remember correctly, in the book the soldier is linked with Christ in a figurative way, so that he is seen as the vision of things to come for soldiers on the battlefield.

Finally, and this is getting too long, you have to reamamber that Trombu's book was written in 1939, in the midst of WW2, and the movie was produced in 1971, in the midst of Vietnam. So, there is bound to be echos of angst, especially in the film, about a war that was unpopular.

8 Vinnie,
I missed the under the fold comment... as Casey points out the time of the book and movie were relevant. What is interesting is the book briefly was a hit and then disappeared after Pearl Harbor. Trumbo, a Communist, was blacklisted in the McCarthy era and didn't really enjoy much support outside of the radical circles he traveled in. However, as Casey points out, the resurgence of the book (1967) followed by the movie (1971) was due to the hugely unpopular Vietnam war. Especially following 68 with the lifting of student deferments. I am not surprised to see it reprised now as we close in on 3,000 dead and over 20,000 wounded with an Army and Marine Corps stretched thin and backdoor drafts foreshadowing a return to some form of national compulsory service (which I would not necessarily oppose).

=======
"I am not haunted by the fear that my brother will be sent to war. I believe there are beliefs and causes worth taking risks for, worth fighting and dying for. Rather, I am haunted by the fear that he will be sent to war thoughtlessly, carelessly... The ghost of Vietnam stares at me from a black granite wall that scars the Mall in Washington, and I am haunted by a fear of watching history repeat itself."

I think they'tr addressing war propaganda. Not the actual causes of war.

Posted by: actus at September 02, 2006 09:48 AM (JhjMt)

10 Noise, I know you'll never be able to understand, since the study of warfare relies solely on logic and none at all on feelings, but Iraq has flushed out the jihadis and forced them to take action, which exposes them. This is the age of low-intensity warfare, and it's just not possible for wars to be as quick and neat as they once were, though they are certainly now much less bloody. The enemy has to be forced to come out and fight, and when he does, he loses. I know you can't stand the thought, but we will win, regardless of how bad the lefturds want us to lose.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at September 02, 2006 04:26 PM (v3I+x)

11 Johnny Got His Gun was a decent book, regardless if it was anti-war. And this song (and its album) was alright, even if it marked the end of Metallica.

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden

An open letter to Dr. Shackleford: (I love doing open letters, because my best friend Beth hates them)

When you granted me this login status, I had no idea that September 16th, 2006, would be a momentous date in history.

When you promoted me to "~~Prick~~ Editor-in-Chief", I remained clueless.

But recent wanderings around the interwebsinestrophericblogidohexinets have shown me that September 16th, 2006, will go down in Sandcrawler lore as the (digitally-speaking) bloodiest day in this blogs storied past.

Yes, Dr. Shackleford, 9/16/2006 is the day where I was once your student, but now I am the master.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm referring to, simply look at your college football schedules.

This could be the most intense intra-blog blogwar ever. But probably not. After all, Rusty did graduate from a university whose mascot is a pack of condoms.

Israeli Airstrike Leaves Reuters Ambulance in Flames, Chopped, Channeled

It must be true, Iowahwk wrote it:

According to Reuters spokesman Martin Aldwyn, the vehicle was used by the agency's local freelancers to transport poignant war-ravaged street urchins to Lebanese hospitals. Although clearly marked with a red cross, "PRESS," fuzzy dice, and the international symbol for "Baby On Board," the flaming 1950 Mercury was left nearly unrecognizable by the attack. Photos show that the impact of the Israeli missiles slammed the vehicle to the ground, lowered its roof five inches, and left it with a pancaked hood, shaved door handles, frenched headlights and De Soto grille.

Ha!

As somone who's had first hand experience with Islam and Mo-slimes I can tell you that Islam needs deceit, terror and bloodshed the same way that human body needs air, food and water.
Consequently, exposing their lies as the "JAWA's" have is actually quite a serious blow to them.

Patrick, wow, that guy had WAAAAY too much time on his hands. I like both Star Wars and Star Trek. This guy sounds like one of those rabid Trek fans who wears Spock ears 24/7 and tries to kill you the instant he finds out you watched even 5 seconds of Wars.

I especially loved this: "Anyway, when it comes to portraying human destiny, where would you rather live, assuming you'll be a normal citizen and no demigod? In Roddenberry's Federation? Or Lucas' Empire?"

Has he never seen Star Trek?! Personally I'd choose neither. Everyone who's not one of the central 5-20 main crewmembers out of crews of 200+ die in 5 minutes in Trek; the fact that it's a magnetic cloud space anomaly or a giant lizardman killing everyone and not a maniac who's 1/2 powered armor killing people with his mind ultimately makes little difference. Dead is dead.

7 Ever since I first saw this movie when it *first* hit the theaters way back when, and I was only 7 years old, I could never understand why the Empire didn't just blast Yavin, letting its destruction do whatever damage it could to the moon then blast the moon. It's such a big plot hole you can drive a Death Star through it.

Posted by: hadsil at August 26, 2006 01:39 AM (QTpM5)

Well, if I had to guess, I'd say the Death Star might not have the power to destroy a gas giant hundreds of times the size of the moon orbiting it.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Posted by: Evil Otto at August 26, 2006 08:50 AM (Sp7Wr)

9 The death star (1st one) could only fire 1 shot per day. Even if it blew up Yavin, there'd be ample time for the rebel fleet to disperse or still attack the death star.

Give That Man A Fatwa

VDH:

Nasrallah, Assad, and Ahmadinejad blabbered ad nauseam about their newfound sense of â€œhonorâ€ and â€œpride,â€ as if they were talking heads in some stale Viagra infomercial. Once more, the pathetic obsession of the Middle East with lost manhood is explicable by a society immersed in gender apartheid, patriarchy, and tribalism. It is as if the Middle East fundamentalist and dysfunctional family has been elevated to the national government, and then its resulting adolescent insecurities are aired for the long-suffering world.
Iran promised relief aid to Hezbollah â€” and, of course, immediately sent thousands of chadors.

If you haven't yet, read the rest.
