Iraq never looked so good

Even the Gannett Star had to publish a front-pager this morning that admitted casualties are way down in Iraq — not just military casualties, but civilian ones as well. (And FWIW, that has dropped completely off the front page of the website already. I had to run a search for it.)
So naturally the Dumbs pontificated that a War Tax is needed to deflect the cost of this war from “the chirrin” (who, if the Dumbs continue in office, will probably be paying the zakat [if they convert] or the jizya [if they don’t] as well), and the Senate, that bastion of assholish geriatric gasbaggery, sent out one of its most discredited “war veterans” to say that Rush Limbaugh was probably “just on his drugs” when Limbaugh allegedly said something that, well, if you go back and look at the transcript and listen to the tape, he just simply didn’t say.
I don’t know what the Dumbs are thinking, trotting Top Gun Tom Harkin out to talk about moral “authoritah” and shit, but the jackass was proven to be a liar about his “Vietnam” “combat” “service” years ago. He wasn’t even a fighter jock. He was the guy who drove the planes back to the service base when they needed to be fixed, and apparently he never set foot in Vietnam. (So he calls himself a “Vietnam era” vet now.)
And Hillary…well, apparently this Media Matters den of iniquity was her creation, and works sort of like a PAC for her, except that it doesn’t handle dirty money, it handles dirty innuendo and falsehoods that make everybody but Her Cattle Futuresness look bad. At least until somebody (the FEC, maybe) starts investigating her ties to it.
It just doesn’t seem like it would be that hard for the Republicans to beat this crew of wacko commies, but the Pubbies anymore seem like they’d rather seize defeat from the jaws of victory.
Well…President Fred Thompson might bring a little order to all this chaos, but we’ve got a long road ahead of us before he’s up there on Inauguration Day taking over from W.
In the meantime: I’d say fuck all Democraps up the ass with a saguaro cactus, but they’d probably enjoy that. So we’ll have to be content with fucking them hard at the polls next November.
UPDATE, October 3: Instapundit points out this article, which makes it fairly clear that indeed, Iraq never looked so good.
