I wish I could remember who created this.


NAPOLEON BONEHEAD: MY WAY - END OF DISCUSSION
Bush kicks poodle: his veto on Middle East talks is a humiliating rebuff for Blair initiative.

Tony Blair's drive for Middle East peace talks has suffered an embarrassing setback at the hands of Emperor Snippy, only days after the prime minister flagged up his plan at the Labour party conference in Blackpool.

Mr Blair is pushing for a resumption of Israeli-Palestinian talks, backed by an international conference, before the end the year. He has told colleagues that, with war looming in Iraq, he regards it as essential to deal with one of the main causes of Arab resentment against the west.

But the Guardian is reporting that Mr Bush has blocked the initiative and has made it clear to Mr Blair that he does not want such talks to be held in the near future.

Mr Bush's rebuff highlights a fundamental division between the US and Britain over the Middle East: the Boob of Kennebunkport says 'f*ck everyone - let's bomb Saddam,' while Britain sees the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the priority, either to be tackled first or, at least, alongside Iraq.

A Whitehall official, describing the US and Israeli attitude towards a resumption of talks as "cool", said: "The lack of progress is poisoning everything in the region."


Meanwhile, back at Castrati Central....

WELL ISN'T THAT SPECIAL
Daschle: Congress Will Approve Iraq Resolution

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Facing a chorus of support in the Senate for action against Saddam Hussein, Majority Leader Tom 'Isadora' Daschle rolled onto his back like a pathetic little lapdog predicted on the eve of a public appeal by pResident Evil that Congress would give overwhelming approval of a war powers resolution.

"This is the first preemptive, unilateral authorization of the use of force that we've ever passed," Daschle said. The Senate leader said he was inclined to support the resolution, although he would make clear any objections he had to the wording, but believed the Democrat-controlled Senate would approve it by a wide margin with a vote in the range of 75-25.

"It will pass and I suspect that there will be a broad bipartisan coalition in support of it," said Daschle, the only top congressional leader who had held off supporting a resolution. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more 'presidential' leghumping to do."

BTW, Sen. Edward Kennedy on CBS "Face the Nation" said he would not vote for the resolution and that senators should be debating whether to go to war against Iraq, not just the resolution. "The president hasn't made the case .... A war ought to be the last resort, not the first resort," Kennedy said.
