Anybody see Ryan C. Crocker on Sunday morning?
I swear you could almost see the puppeteer's fist jammed up this guys ass as his eye's were practically popping out of his head. They must take a class called "Talking Points 101", in which the speaker should always interlock fingers, and speak with the hands for emphasis. Anytime I see someone doing that while speaking, my gut instinct is "You're lying..." This is the Ambassador to Iraq, great...

1. I had to leave the room. He was like a deer in the headlights.
The Bush administration seems to be scraping the bottom of the barrel these days. I had the sense that this man did not have the faintest idea of what he was talking about or that he knew what he said was BS. I also thought that he looked frightened. Made me think that we are in worse trouble than even I think we are in.

2. Exactly! I could not believe what I was seeing.
Deer in the headlights, and stammering to come up with answers to Russerts softball questioning. I felt sick.

3. i couldn't believe he's an AMBASSADOR.
isn't one of their functions negotiation? doesn't that mean they should be coherent? the guy obviously cannot speak without cue cards. oh, wait a minute, he's a * appointee! he's probably there to make * sound good.

5. There were 2 threads on him Sunday, but sombody on "lookism" patrol shut them down
I said that he looked like he had PTSD, inspired no confidence, (& these 4 words were the killers: ) The fellow looks goofy, speaks with hesitance and with mealy-mouthed words, withOUT any kind of confidence. Poor fellow has been stationed in all of the hellholes: Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon... He needs an R&R assignment of the kind given to Shrub-donors.


One high minded fellow claimed that we were being superficial in commenting on his looks and presence instead of sifting out the diplomatic doublespeak to get at the deep meaning of what he was saying.

*I'm* saying that this fellow encapsulates the meaning of "The Iraq Attack was the biggest fuck up and pResidential crime in our history and is LOST LOST LOST!!1" That's MY deep meaning.
