Marjorie Taylor Greene: Loud but Smelly

BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX & THOMAS FRIEDMAN IS A GREAT MAN & ANN'S MEGA DUB -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

U.S. HOUSE REP AND PERMANENT HELL DWELLER MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE HAS SOMETHING SHE WANTS TO SAY ABOUT RUMORS OF DONALD TRUMP, THE FORMER PRESIDENT, BEING ARRESTED TOMORROW.

BUT WHAT SHE WANTS TO SAY, NO ONE CAN DECIPHER.

WE SPOKE TO HER AND MARJORIE TOOK TIME AWAY FROM A PERSONAL PROJECT -- GOING TO PET LAND AND PUTTING FLEAS ON PUPPIES -- TO TRY TO EXPLAIN.

"DONALD TRUMP MAY BE PFFFT TOMORROW AND HE MAY SSSSS BE BUT REGARDLESS, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PBBBBT TO PROTECT THPPTPHTPHPHHPH."

WITH THAT, SHE LOOKED AT EACH ONE OF US AND NODDED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO APPROXIMATE A SMILE -- OR THE BEST FASCIMILE THAT SATAN'S BRIDE IS ABLE TO OFFER.

WE WANTED TO FOLLOW UP WITH A QUESTION BUT EACH OF US WAS EITHER USING A HAND TO HOLD OUR NOSE OR FANNING WITH A HAND TO GET THE STENCH OF MARJORIE AWAY -- FAR, FAR AWAY.

WHILE WE WERE SHAKING OUR HEADS IN DISGUST, MARJORIE'S FORMER ROLL DOG, THE ILLITERATE AND INCONSIDERATE LAUREN BOH-BOH BOHBERT CAME RUNNING OVER TO EXPLAIN THAT MARJORIE'S BEEN PACKING ON THE POUNDS SINCE HER HUSBAND WALKED OUT ON HER SO SHE'S GONE ON OZEMPIC "AND THE SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE GAS AND LOUD FARTS."

STINKY GAS, BOE-BOE, POSSIBLY LETHAL.

MARJORIE MIGHT AGREE WITH US OR SHE MIGHT NOT. SHE OPENED HER MOUTH TO SPEAK BUT ALL ANYONE COULD HEAR WAS "PPPPPPFFFFFFFFFTTTTT."

FROM THE TCI WIRE:

Last night, I said SALON won The Big Idiot Sweepstake because yesterday they 'honored' the Iraq War by printing the whore Norman Solomon who whored in his piece on Iraq as he always does. We noted the way that he left Barack Obama out of the history and that he lied in real time when he was pimping Barack because he didn't tell audiences he was a pledged delegate for Barack. We noted how he spent the eight years of Barack's presidency ignoring Iraq. And we noted how, in the middle of Lt Ehren Watada's court martial, Norman started publicly calling for him to drop everything to defend a journalist who didn't want to reveal her sources -- as though that were the biggest issue on Ehren's plate.

I always forget MOTHER JONES exists. And that they allow vermin like David Corn to occupy space there. David spent the lead up the war and the early year attacking anti-war people -- like members of ANSWER. He also felt the biggest tragedy of the Iraq War was the outing of Valerie Plame (a CIA agent). But it takes a lot of gall for David Corn -- who still hasn't apologized for his many lies about Russia and the whole pee-pee Trump tape or, for that matter, lying about Bill Clinton pardoning two members of the Weather Underground -- to write a piece about the lack of accountability and how the liars and cheerleaders of the Iraq War were rewarded and publish it at MOTHER JONES where the blogger that they hired after the start of the illegal war was . . . Iraq War cheerleader Kevin Drum.

Oh, are we still pretending his health problems are about to send him to a grave?

I remember those e-mails, should we publish them here, from the two dumb women who run MOTHER JONES? About we shouldn't criticize Kevin because of his health. What was that? 10 years ago? I think there are over a million dead Iraqis with family and friends that with the dead had even two -- let alone 10 -- more years of life.

No link to their garbage. MOTHER JONES is garbage island. Since those two women took over, it has become worthless -- that's David Corn, that's Kevin Drum, that's their attack on rape victims. It's really past time that the left policed itself and grasped that Clara and Monika don't belong anywhere on the spectrum of the left -- or, for that matter, in publishing.

By the way, David rushes to praise John McCain -- who pushed for the Iraq War -- but can't take a moment to credit any of the many activists around the world who stood against the illegal war. It was that way in real time, please remember. He spat on protesters in one column after another and he ignores them and the Iraqi people in his column today which is nothing but his usual garbage of shirts-and-skins with him choosing political sides.

Let's note some of the people who had skin in the game.

Janeane Garofalo comes immediately to mind.

She didn't mouth something once in London so I guess it doesn't matter that she spoke out publicly against the war before it started and after it started. She took it to Bill O'Reilly's face. She was right. He was wrong. It would be nice if Sam Seder -- who stabbed her in the back -- could take a moment this week to credit her -- we'd even include a video of it here -- for being a brave voice who spoke out against the war.

From WIKIPEDIA:

She became more prominent as a progressive when she voiced opposition to what became the 2003 Iraq War, appearing on CNN and Fox News to discuss it. She said that she was approached by groups such as MoveOn.org and Win Without War to go on TV, because these organizations say that the networks were not allowing antiwar voices to be heard. Garofalo and the other celebrities who appeared at the time said they thought their fame could lend attention to that side of the debate. Her appearances on cable news prior to the war garnered her praise from the left and spots on the cover of Ms. and Venus Zine. Garofalo has had frequent on-air political disputes with Bill O'Reilly, Brian Kilmeade, and Jonah Goldberg.^[22]

Prior to the 2003 Iraq War, she took a position on the alleged threat posed by Saddam Hussein. For example, in an interview with Tony Snow on a February 23, 2003 episode of Fox News Sunday,^[23] Garofalo said of the Iraqi dictator:

Yes, I think lots of people are eager to obtain weapons of mass destruction. But there's no evidence that he (Hussein) has weapons of mass destruction. There's been no evidence of him testing nuclear weapons. We have people that are in our face with nuclear weapons. We've got Iran and North Korea. We've got a problem with Pakistan. You know, I don't know what to say about that. There's a whole lot of people that are going nuclear. And I think that Saddam Hussein is actually, with the evidence, the least able to use nuclear weapons and the least obvious offender in that area at this moment.

In March 2003, she took part in the Code Pink anti-war march in Washington, D.C. That autumn, she served as emcee at several stops on the Tell Us the Truth tour, a political-themed concert series featuring Steve Earle, Billy Bragg, Tom Morello, and others. Throughout the year, Garofalo also actively campaigned for Howard Dean. While on Fox News' program The Pulse, O'Reilly asked Garofalo what she would do if her predictions that the Iraq war would be a disaster were to turn out wrong. Garofalo stated:^[24]

I would be so willing to say, 'I'm sorry'. I hope to God that I can be made a buffoon of, that people will say, 'You were wrong. You were a fatalist.' And I will go to the White House on my knees on cut glass and say, 'Hey, you and Thomas Friedman were right ... I shouldn't have doubted you ...'

There was Harry Belafonte, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Samuel L. Jackson, Marjorie Cohn, Martin Sheen, Jessica Lange, Barbara Kingsolver, Alice Walker, Ralph Nader, Lynne Woolsey, Maxine Waters, Lloyd Doggett, John Conyers, Michael Ratner, Heidi Boghosian, Michael Smith, Robert Altman, Gloria La Riva, Phil Donahue, Jane Fonda, Michael Moore, Daniel Ellsberg, Maxine Hong Kingston, Cynthia McKinney, Howard Dean, Gore Vidal, Stan Goff . . .

So many people stood up. And you don't see that in the coverage. You see War Hawks like John McCain applauded because -- one foot in the grave right before he died he admitted it was wrong. Wow. That was so important. That brought back from the dead how many Iraqis?
