The Names Change...

...the tactics don't.

"MI5 officer says MP Mike Hancock was 'honeytrap' victim of Russian spy, as politician steps down from Defence post."

They don't call the Russian spy service the KGB any more - - I think it's the FSB now - - but the honeytrap, one of the oldest espionage techniques in the history of the world is just as effective as it has always been.

For Congressman Weiner

A little Mike Oldfield, I think:



Lyrics:

Mike Oldfield » Man In The Rain Lyrics

(music and lyrics by Mike Oldfield sung by Cara Dillon, Heather Burnett)


You're the one who's nearly breaking my heart.
Had your chance, you just threw it all away.
Living in a world that you could never be a part of
And never time to walk away.

[ Chorus ]

You can't stay, no, you can't stay.
You're no loser, there's still time to ride that train
And you must be on your way tonight.
Think anew right through, you're a man in the rain.

What's the use in hanging round these walls.
Lamps are burning, but nobody's at home.
There's a new day dawning as a cold rain falls
And now's the time to walk alone.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in November.

Had it all, threw it all away.
Now's the time to walk away.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in November.

How's it feel when there's time to remember?
Branches bare, like the trees in November.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

Threw it all away, threw it all away
And now's the time to walk away.

Oh, I'm a Congressman and I'm Okay...

...I sext all night and I work all day.

I vote on bills, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I have quorums
And vote on committees

I'm a Congressman and I'm okay
I sext all night and I work all day

I vote on bills, I skip and jump
I love to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing
And sext girls after hours

I'm a Congressman and I'm okay
I sext all night and I work all day

I vote on bills, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I'd been a girly
Just like my dear mama!

Police Question 17-Year-Old Female In Weiner Scandal

Apparently the police arrived at the female's house during an interview that she and her mom were conducting with Fox News.

Wow, it's lucky that nobody called the SWAT team, somebody might have got killed.

Monday's Place To Be

Breitbart's Big Journalism, where Congressman Anthony Weiner is being subjected to the Chinese Water Torture.

I wish I had a penny for every hit that the the Big Journalism website takes today. Andrew Breitbart must be laughing his ass off at this point.

update: I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning.

update 2: Hitchens weighs in.

There Ain't No Innocent "Nightcaps" At 4:00 A.M.

Don't Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On The King Of Rock And Roll. He ain't going for it.

Chuck Him Out, the Brute!

Meanwhile, over in Oz (Australia)...

The Australian Defence Minister had to apologize to the Afghan government over Australian soldiers calling Afghans "Sand Niggaz," "Ragheads," and "Dune Coons."

The head of the Australian Navy has warned the seagoing service to end its culture of alcohol-fueled debauchery. (Knock off the rum and sodomy, or it's the Lash!)

The Prince of Wales is defending the Australians for referring to him as a "Pommy Poofter."

And also, almost incidentally...

a member of the Australian SAS won the Victoria Cross for conspicuous gallantry in Afghanistan, charging two separate machine-gun nests single-handedly.

All of this simply reinforces the words of Rudyard Kipling:

We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind.

From Tommy.

update: added the Churchill reference in the Navy link.

Hey, Officer Almendarez...

...were you trying to refuel that girl at the Fuel Pizza Restaurant?

And did you check her oil and wash her windshield while you were at it?
