Hamas ... and John Kerry
From the NY Times:
"WASHINGTON, Jan 26 — Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts could not attend the Senate debate on the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. on Thursday. He was in Davos, Switzerland, hobnobbing with international business and political leaders at the World Economic Forum."
But late Thursday afternoon, Mr. Kerry began calling fellow Democratic senators in a quixotic, last-minute effort for a filibuster to stop the nomination.
Democrats cringed and Republicans jeered at the awkwardness of his gesture, which almost no one in the Senate expects to succeed.
"God bless John Kerry," said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican on the Judiciary Committee. "He just cinched this whole nomination. With Senator Kerry, it is Christmas every day."

Really, I don't need to write more about this. Boosh is an idiot. His fellow Bonesman is trying really hard to prove that he is too.
HAMAS: perhaps I was too obtuse earlier today about Hamas. Let's look at this again.... These people were taking credit for suicide bombings of buses killing hundreds of innocent Israelis last year. This is a terrorist organization. But now it is a "freely elected" terrorist organization and a government of the people for the people. Sort of. Did King George's subjects feel the same way about the colonists in the Americas? But let's draw a distinction: these people are cold-blooded murdering terrorists. The revolutionaries were not. They never sent men to kill children and women and CERTAINLY never sent children to kill other innocents.
Israel has a big problem here. How to deal with or negotiate with a terrorist organization which is now the elected government of the Palestinian people? How is the US to manage this either? Uh, are you going to send in the tanks to install your own brand of elected government? Is Israel? Israel says Hamas is responsible for launching 425 terrorist attacks since Sept. 2000, killing 377 Israelis and injuring more than 2,000 (from USA today). Not exactly good neighbors. But the Palestinians interviewed seem to look to Hamas as a viable alternative to Fatah ... where the money never seemed to make it to the people, the schools never get built (even though they will probably teach nothing but the most blatant propaganda). People were tired of the lies. Heck of an alternative....
