Stop it. You are embarrassing yourself.

A little soul-gazing between friends

Before fleeing to his ranch for the weekend, our whimpering pussy of a president wagged his finger in the general direction of where his handlers told him was Russia, called them "bullies," and delivered the foreign policy equivalent of, "You'd better stop, or else..." After taking a moment to dig a small piece of lint from underneath his thumbnail, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sighed and said, "Or else what?" President Bush then slunk away from the podium and said, "I'm telling Condi."

And so it goes. Completely bereft of moral, ethical, or logical authority on this issue, this hapless jackass trots out worthless, pre-packaged talking points about Georgia's "territorial integrity" and Russia's need to "put itself back on the path of responsible nations." And Russia will stop, sure, but not until they want to. Say, when they want to regroup.

Talky talky talky. No more talky, George. Go cut some fucking brush. Your half-assed attempt to get Georgia on its way to NATO membership fell predictably flat. And thanks to your toys-in-the-sand time in Iraq, the only military assistance we're capable of offering consisted of giving Georgia its own troops back. At this point you're just giving the rest of the planet good reason to call us a bunch of hypocrites.

But before you go, is there any chance you can do the right thing and let Ukraine know it might just be shit out of luck?
