Domestic terrorist Michelle MalKKKin blames Clinton’s Almighty Penis for the Fort Dix Six.

Sadly, MalKKKin wasn’t the only one exploiting the arrests for political gain. The Hannity sez:

What do you think we’re likely to find out in the next couple of days about surveillance and how that helped, how the Patriot Act helped, how all the measures that were put in place after 9/11 were of assistance, considering these issues are in quite dispute, especially among Democrats in Washington?

Ummm, Sean? No warrantless wiretaps, no extraordiary rendition, no torture was involved in the disruption of the plot. Just good old fashioned law enforcement. You know, the tactic you and your ilk constantly decry as completely and utterly ineffective next to nuking the entire Middle East (minus Israel) and herding all Muslims into human-sized microwaves for the crime of being Muslim.

It’s bad enough that the Bush administration is so beholden to the “Use National Guard Tanks for Target Practice” wing of the NRA that one of the attorneys fired as a part of Gonzo-gate was canned because he complained about FBI foot-dragging in regard to the murder of a colleague who happened to be a gun control advocate. Now we’re presented with a case where the NRA’s advocacy directly harms national security. How so, you ask? Well, there’s this little known bill working its way through Congress at the moment that would prohibit terrorism suspects from purchasing guns. If these would-be terrorists hadn’t been stopped when they were, and this law were in place, they would’ve been stopped when they tried to buy weapons - a sort of extra layer of security. And yet, the NRA is apparently okay with allowing terrorism suspects to buy weapons. Must explain why that radical militia in Alabama was able to get their hands on so many weapons in their aborted attempt to commit terrorism against Mexican immigrants. Oh, wait. Righties don’t consider violence against liberals, Muslims or Hispanics “terrorism.” Silly me.

Incidentally, the Malkinites have been spending the day hailing the roundup as a victory for the Stasi John D’oh Brigade while simultaneously engaging in this:

It should be noted for the record that the video store worker whose tip launched the whole investigation was going on actions, not racial stereotypes.

It was a pleasant surprise to find Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon joining the Drinking Liberally regulars at The Dog and Duck Pub this evening. And while I geeked out upon seeing her by whoring my blog (much like the time I ran into “Macho Man” Randy Savage at a sushi bar in Albuquerque, NM several years ago, except without the blog-whoring part) and had trouble getting a word in edgewise when she and fellow Austin DL’er Neil Sinhababu got a serious policy discussion going - topics ranged from how to turn Texas blue to how irrevocably intertwined the issue of class is with just about every other thing liberals care about - the presence of a famous feminist blogger definitely added to an already excellent evening of Bush-bashing.

Incidentally, Amanda, if you’re reading this, I have just one (probably silly RTFM-level) question to ask: is Molly a Bombay? I ask because I’ve been wanting to get a Bombay of my own for a while now, and I may finally be able to afford to do so at some point with my new job.
