3. I think it illustrates nicely
the new generation of hate that is going to rise in the wake of the maelstrom called the Bush administration.

4. It just demonstrates the depth of hatred for * in Iraq.
You think we hate him here? Think about what it's like for innocent Iraqis.

Issa, by the way is a rethug Bush supporter, is he not?

17. He's got that sh*t eating grin on his face maybe because he doesn't
understand Arabic?

Why don't we send Karen Hughes to Defense Language Institute for say, 2 years?!?

Then she can come back and teach us Americans how to speak Arabic so we don't smile at the inappropriate time. :P

27. I don't know if he speaks it or not
but Darrell Issa is a Lebanese/Arab-American.

24. According to Wikipedia, his father is Lebanese.
Darrel Issa mother is of Bohemian German descent and his father is Christian Lebanese. Issa was born in Cleveland, Ohio.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Issa and his older brother William were charged with auto theft in San Jose in 1980 by allegedly faking the theft of his Mercedes and selling the vehicle to a car dealer. Charges were later dropped due to lack of evidence, although the judge had a "strong suspicion" that both men were involved in the crime. <4><5>. He blamed the incident on his brother, and said that the experience with his brother was the reason he went into the car alarm business.

piece of work, that one. I'm sorry I looked him up.

8. Perhaps she feels that it is unfair that her home and community
has been bombed by Bush/Olmert, and that she has to run to a shelter to have a baby, whose future is endangered by Bush (and isn't it?!!)

We need to protest this insane war against the people of Lebanon.

23. Precisely. And she is staying at a Catholic Relief facility? I wonder if
the new mother is Christian.

25. Reminds me a little of Lynch's "Eraserhead"
from imdb's memorable quotes:

Mrs. X: There's a baby. It's at the hospital.
Mary X: Mom!
Mrs. X: And you're the father.
Henry Spencer: Well that's impossible! It's only been...
Mary X: Mother, they're still not sure it is a baby!

26. yes, he is the front man for the big money behind Arnold
he is a thug, plain and simple.

you too would laugh at someone shouting "kill *", if you held Dead-Eye Dick as one of your buds. (Vampire Cheney also involved in recall -- Arnold attended some of the "secret" energy policy meetings.)

18. When did Issa get the translation?
After he left? While we was still there?

Interesting. Now that's a scenario that most American politicians don't usually face during a photo-op. Wonder how he handled it?

19. How do they know what the hell she is saying? I think that she is
saying "Cheney is my babies father!!"

Of course based on the lip shape and expression she could also be saying "Donald Rumsfeld is a stud puppy" or "Hannity sucks goat ass." It's hard to tell with those ME languages.

I am not sure that Issa (R), would want to be associated with someone who was teaching her three day old infant to kill Bush,,,, but I for one would not blame her if that is what she was doing.

21. How to win enemies and repel friends, Bush style.
Good thing the liberals didn't get into power and try to bring diplomacy and respect for human rights to the region. Bombing works so much better at winning the hearts and minds in the Middle East.

I hope that dumb-ass Congressman is a Bush supporter, with that "Hi, I'll smile though I have no idea what planet I'm on" grin. That's a grin I'd instinctively hide my children from, in any language.
