Wtf is an "Organic threat to a region"?
Is this some new Repug. meme?

I am watching Talent vs. McCaskill on CSPAN and Talent keeps saying Saddam was an "Organic threat to the region"...

What the hell does that even mean? It sounds really effing dumb....

It makes me think of spinach and lettuce terrah...

5. I think he thinks it sounds good, so he repeats it. Probly means inherent.
Or perhaps it means "overall" threat, which is true. He just wasn't an imminent threat. He was a contained and constrained threat. He was a neutralized threat. He was a bastard you had to keep an eye on. He was not a threat to us. But his sand was on top of our oil.

6. As opposed to the non-organic weapons of mass destruction (nuclear)
that Saddam was working on? Or, like bollweevils or hemorrhoids? Or a hurricane? Is he trying to channel Reagan and his trees cause pollution shtick?

You know, stress can do really funny and ugly things to Republicans. Notice Connecticut Republicans and trash in a class all by himself Lieberman, as well as New York Republicans. Picking on Indiana Republicans like Shimkus may seem unfaor considering the cesspool he's drowning in, but they do get very weird.

At this point, I'm fully expecting one of them to strip down and tear through the Senate with a dildo shrieking, "Checkmate!, Sir, Checkmate!, while Frist and O'Connell just weep.

7. I hate the use of 'organic' as of late
It means, "I'm making some shit up."

They should just say, "I don't know, so I'm making some shit up."

8. It's confirmation that Sadam was not a robot
Aside from that..... maybe he's mixing up "organic" and "actual."

9. I just finished watching a repeat of today's "debate" on cspin.
No-talent Talent was almost pitiable. He never answered any question and kept on repeating bumper sticker logic and accusation with no proof.

He seems never to have really been challenged before and is totally at sea.
I have never been a fan of the "debates" or what passes for debate among politicians but this character is particularly bad and fitting for nothing more than attempting a lame defense dumbass policies.
