Two weeks on the newsstand with this one? WTF… But how does it READ?
MOE: also have you seen the new newsweek "what bush got right"??????
PAREENE: uggh yeah
MOE: i feel like we should do something but
PAREENE: i mean just saw the cover
would like to see "What Fareed Zakaria got wrong" feature instead but what can you do
MOE: yeah i'm going to smoke will check it out
i feel like it is the newsstand equivalent of a "neg"
PAREENE: haa
10 minutes
MOE: ok just skimmed
6 minutes
MOE: it is like, "Ha ha ha, just kidding, actually everything he has done has been a colossal fucking nightmare but thanks to that spyplane thing and our dependence on Chinese sweatshop workers he had to sell out Taiwan and thanks to our dependence on Pakistan's torture spies he couldn't very well object to India having nukes and thanks to the global disaster wrought by his first six and a half years in office some of the most superevil people in his administration finally quit their jobs. Also he admitted AIDS was bad.
PAREENE: haaa
right
i mean based on zakaria's own writings i feel like we could've written this piece on our own. like: they fucked up but then half-heartedly corrected themselves sometimes later on
MOE: exactly! oh also he says it's nice that Bush isn't pretending like he wants to go to war with Iran anymore even though as that pretty homewrecker CBS lady pointed out in the recent Men's Vogue we are already fighting a de facto war with Iran in Iraq so…
MOE: When you think about it, nearly all of the most mendacious ideologues to ever harbor sinister ambitions to rule civilization have gotten their chance to fuck everything up, and because they did, most of them will never work again!
For the next few years anyway
Oh oh yes AND
PAREENE: hahaha
MOE: he has drastically lowered his expectations for what can be achieved in the iraq.
see he's a pragmatist!
PAREENE: hahahaha
pragmatism is so handy once you have made a huge fucking error
MOE: (Too bad we can't say the same for John McCAin!)
haha did you just see our tip re megan asha??
PAREENE: hahahaha
yes
