NY governor Andrew Cuomo is a monster

This takes the cake:

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo kicked off a two-day visit to Israel on Wednesday, where he expressed "total solidarity" with the country over the monthlong war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

And by "total solidarity", it's clear that Cuomo means it's great that Israel killed kids, knowingly and repeatedly, with eyes wide open. That's totally okay in Cuomo's eyes and he wants Israel to know this with certainty. I can think of one other monster must have been very pleased to hear this.

Later Wednesday, Cuomo met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who praised Cuomo and the American government for "standing on the right side of the moral divide."

Indeed. Let's take a gander at that "moral divide", shall we?

More than 1,900 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting, Palestinian and UN officials say. Israel says 64 of its soldiers and three civilians have been killed in the war, which began July 8.

Cuomo's office said the governor and his delegation would not visit Palestinian territories or meet Palestinian officials during the 30-hour trip, despite a personal invitation by the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations to experience "all sides of the conflict, not just one."

Nice, Cuomo, really nice. Folks, this is how megalomania works. It's all about Cuomo's future electoral success. Meeting with the Palestinians wasn't going to help Andrew Cuomo's career, so the hell with the Palestinian kids. What's a couple of thousand deaths in Gaza? No biggie.

Israel is a monster. Cuomo is a monster. It's lovely that they got together to have a drink over the dead bodies.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the creation of Israel was a nice idea but it has a location problem. So let's toss the people out of Utah and give the state to Israel. It would hold all the current Israelis with ease and it would be a fabulous destination for American Jews. And no one would bomb them. It's a win-win thing. They could even use those ridiculous LDS temples as religious gathering places. They're certainly not being put to any good use now.

And there would be peace in the middle east -- or at least, there would be no Jews dying there.

Condi tries new mushroom-cloud remark

Okay, so she didn't really say "mushroom cloud" but her quote, which I've bolded below, has that same ominous tone and feel. I'm sure the wingnuts will run with it as a new slogan. I give you Condoleeza Rice, savior of democracy:

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Thursday the United States must continue to lead the world because it represents an ideal of democracy.

Rice — one of the architects of the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq — told a crowd at Norwich University the United States should use counterterrorism operations, including the possible use of attacks with aerial drones, to keep the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant from making territorial gains.

"We do not want these people in charge of a swath of land the size of Indiana," said Rice, the former National Security Adviser and Secretary of State under George W. Bush.

In my opinion, Condoleeza Rice is the most disgusting American alive today. And I thought that before I learned that she's still spouting wingnut war rhetoric. I mean, the goddamned mushroom cloud lady is actually pushing for another war. It's chutzpah gone mad, and entirely beyond the pale. She is a monster. Obviously, she learned nothing from her recent dabbling in world affairs. Condi, you failed. Big-time.

What must it be like to be that clueless? It's a frightening thought. And some people listened to her quietly -- and maybe even clapped when she was done? Ugh. Condoleeza Rice should be hissed and booed by every human she encounters for the rest of her life. 

One last note: I did enjoy a remark made by one of the protesters who was "escorted" from the event:

"We feel that Condoleezza Rice led us into one illegal war and had that not happened, we wouldn't be beating the drums of war that are being beaten right now to go back into Iraq," Zevon said.

Well said, Zevon.
