1. Carnivalage! It's Mardi Gras!

no doubt

[slor]

11. LOL...

that was morbid, but funny.

[MADem]

2. He'll just say they misspoke, that the situation is exciting and

delectable, and delicious. That they meant to say, tasty and irresistable, like 'carne asada'...

[xultar]

3. "Carnage Gras!"

[Botany]

4. E.Z.

The 24/7 "news shows" will all over that missing Nat. Holloway girl. Late breaking news too.

[FearofFutility]

5. I read in my paper today that 1300 people have died

since the mosque was bombed. There's no civil war, though. Right.....
Our troops are right in the middle of it all.

[Ladyhawk]

8. Yeah, I heard the danger of a civil war had passed.

Somehow, I don't think so. :( We all predicted this before the invasion, didn't we? Damn, I hate being right all the time. This is one time I wouldn't mind being wrong. I wish that Iraq wasn't such a mess, but it is and I don't think Chimpy McCokeSpoon and Shooty McLeakyDick are the ones to fix things.

[FearofFutility]

12. Anyone with an ounce of intelligence could have predicted this

They simply didn't care. I don't know how anyone will able to fix this.

Shooty McLeaky Dick. :rofl: I haven't heard that one yet!

[Ladyhawk]

31. I just put together a couple of terms I'd seen on DU to make a somewhat

new nickname. :) heh heh

I'd seen "Shooty" and "Leaky Dick" and always liked the various "Chimpy McInsertSomethingHere" nicknames, so why not? :)

19. Another case of dodging the bullet, I guess.

Well, except for those 1,000+ people who caught 'em.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate BushCo and their minions in the media?

[demosincebirth]

17. I heard that that the U.S., casualties in Iraq, are

at over 25,000.

[FearofFutility]

18. Where did you hear that?!

[demosincebirth]

28. Out of the mouth of Gary Hart on the Bill Maher show, Friday.

Casualties = Killed and wounded.

Bush and his wingnuts will never let you know that figure

[FearofFutility]

29. I always forget casualties includes the wounded.

In that case, my guess is that 25,000 is too low.

[Ladyhawk]

6. Freedom can be messy...pass the freedom fries. n/t

[grytpype]

7. Dear Leader looks a bit sad in that picture....

... I wonder if the pressure is finally getting to him? It's possible I guess.

[The Magistrate]

9. Iraq Is Now Openly Plunged Into Civil War, Sir

Spin only works on trifles; this thing is quite beyond the reach of that art....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[VaYallaDawg]

10. No problem for most of those goons.

Their voter base doesn't know words like carnage. Just those goddam elite liberals use language like that. Everybody knows that.

[NoPasaran]

13. He'll say it's "carne asada", not "carnage"

Delicious!

[leftofthedial]

14. the insurgents are killing each other over there

so we don't have to

mission being accomplished

[madmom]

15. they'll insist it means..carnival like.

[senseandsensibility]

16. *'s base doesn't know what carnage means

so it's a safe term for the corporate media to use. Anyone who knows what carnage means already hates *.

[ieoeja]

20. There goes the liberal media again.

56 deaths in a country of 56 million people is hardly "carnage". More Americans die each day in traffic accidents.

And so on and so forth....

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

22. I KNOW...they NEVER report on all the GOOD things happening, like...

...err...gimme a minute...you know, like...oh HELL, it was right on the tip of my tongue...like that time when...

Look, I'll have to get back to you on that.

:spray:

:patriot:

[Catrina]

21. The spin is that the Iraqis 'have a choice, they can choose chaos or they

can choose peace' ~ according to Bush. Bush, of course, had nothing at all to do with what is happening there!!

They are becoming more and more delusional. Their fear tactics dragged a lot of Americans along with them, for a while.

Now, the 'delusioned' are waking up so their fear mongering is becoming less and less effective, and they really never had any other tools with which to control the population, no ideas, no concerns for Americans, so they continue to use the same old lies, deceptions and fear tactics, and not too many are buying them anymore. So let them spin away, I doubt too many are listening.

[LizW]

23. Are refugees flooding out of Iraq yet?

I would think that those who can are leaving the country to escape the violence.

[leftyladyfrommo]

24. Deaths from bombs are up to 66 now - and rising.

Sounds like there are bombs all over the place.

And a friend of mine's son just went over there - an Army Ranger. All of 19.

[henslee]

25. Is that carnage or Car-nage. Make it sound french and its sexy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. Well fox will say "carnage in iraq: could it be a GREAT thing?"

[arewenotdemo]

30. I'd LMAO but Red America is already sold on the concept

[sandnsea]

27. They chose chaos

Bad Iraqis, bad bad. :spank:

Not the fearless leader's fault, he jes wanted to kech hisself some evildoers.

(Just you wait and see)
