“The David Goldstein Show” tonight on Newsradio 710-KIRO

by Goldy — Sunday, 11/26/06, 5:31 pm

Tonight on “The David Goldstein Show” on Newsradio 710-KIRO, from 7PM to 10PM:

7PM: Can you take a joke? While filling in for Dori on Thanksgiving day, I did a very funny hour with General JC Christian of the satirical blog Jesus’ General… and man did he light up the lines with angry callers. Callers took the General at face value, even as he talked of tazering folks who refuse to say “Merry Christmas,” and of arming fetuses with tiny in utero handguns. The General will break character with me tonight to talk about whether some people really do lack the satire gene. Then later, I intend to raise the thorny question of whether comedian Michael Richards’ racist tirade was more an example of bad comedy than virulent racism, and whether perhaps his hecklers might not have been innocent victims after all.

8PM: Are Malkin and Coulter joking? Recently, a devotee of Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin perpetrated an anthrax hoax by mailing a white powder to Nancy Pelosi, Jon Stewart and other political and media figures. Malkin claims to have no responsibility for the actions of others, but author/blogger David Neiwert of Orcinus — who has made a career of tracking right-wing hate speech and militia groups — says Malkin and other spouters of eliminationist rhetoric are fundamentally irresponsible. Neiwert joins me for the hour.

9PM: What would victory in Iraq actually look like? I asked this question of my righty trolls last week, and got very little in the way of a serious response. Now with the situation continuing to deteroriate, and King Abdullah of Jordan warning of civil war in Palestine and Lebanon as well as Iraq, I’m asking the question once again. Republicans ran against Democrats arguing that we would “cut and run” from Iraq. So if we stay and fight, what exactly would we be fighting for? And if Henry Kissinger is now right when he says that victory is no longer possible, why are we still there?

Tune in tonight (or listen to the live stream) and give me a call: 1-877-710-KIRO (5476).

    I’ll bet Americans (including me) don’t have enough information to know what to do about Iraq. I’d just leave and try to fund Iraqi companies to do the work they should have done from the start. Let them – on our dime – reconstruct their country. Best I can think of. I have heard that the insurgency would decline if we left . . . so maybe it’s worth a try.

    “Outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld authorized the mistreatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, the prison’s former U.S. commander said in an interview on Saturday.

    Former U.S. Army Brigadier General Janis Karpinski told Spain’s El Pais newspaper she had seen a letter apparently signed by Rumsfeld which allowed civilian contractors to use techniques such as sleep deprivation during interrogation.

    Karpinski, who ran the prison until early 2004, said she saw a memorandum signed by Rumsfeld detailing the use of harsh interrogation methods.”

    22 I don’t have any issues with Mel. He doesn’t hold any public office and isn’t running the country. When is Bush going to admit the intel was bad? That he didn’t send enough troops? That there was no occupation plan, no exit strategy? That he doesn’t know what “victory” is? Why didn’t Bush admit that Katrina was a FUBAR? When has a wingnut on this board ever said he was wrong about something? Anything? That’s what I’m talking about. I don’t give a shit about Mel, that doesn’t involve public policy or concern me. Mel is a police problem.

    FUBAR is an acronym that commonly means “fucked up beyond all/any recognition”, or one of many variations (see below). It is attested in the United States Army and other military settings.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fubar

    Used as an adjective it’s synonymous with “of, or relating to, the Bush administration or any of its sycophants.”

    There is no such thing as “victory” In Iraq. The concept does not apply. We achieved “victory” over Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi state in 2003. What we’ve been doing since then is staying when they want us to leave, and fighting the people who want us out, which is most fo them.
    This of interest, from an amazing site (http://g.msn.com/9SE/1?http://.....&SR=4 ):

    There is a reasonable probability that the war in Iraq will be the last major non-nuclear war. Since no enemy can stand toe-to-toe against an appropriately sized U.S. military task force, hostile entities will seek some form of deterrent to serve as a mitigating factor in conflict. However crude a device might be, nuclear weapons can provide that deterrence.

    Globalization, and the integration of multi-national businesses, plus the increasing proliferation of nuclear devices in both developed and developing countries, has made 20th century style warfare too mutually costly to be a viable way to resolve conflicts between states. The battleground has shifted to the economy where the United States is currently suffering some significant, if unrecognized, setbacks. One can only imagine the delight of United States economic rivals, such as China, plus the terrorists themselves, at the enormous costs the United States has burdened itself with to protect its interests. This is a rarely discussed but very real threat to U.S. status as the world superpower.

    In case no one noticed, Bill Clinton worked very hard (how did he do it without long vacations? GW can’t…) during his terms to do what he knew would aid America’s interests most: position us so that we would be fiscally stable and positioned to prevail in the coming trade wars. George Bush doesn’t even know what that means. He has demolished the fiscal stability Clinton created, put us in hock to our trading competitors, and wrecked our international alliances, just to achieve his disastrous private goals (one-upping Daddy).

    I listened to the original broadcast of Jesus’s General on Thanksgiving. It sounded to me like a joke, but then you hear conservatives say so many outrageous things these days. Maybe the problem isn’t that we’ve lost the satire gene, but that conservative talk has really set the bar too high for satirists. It’s too hard to caricature a caricature.

    In a previous thread about “victory in Iraq,” a reader challenged me to present my logic about the connection between Iraq and Israel. Here’s Juan Cole on the topic:

    Despite the denials of Bush administration officials such as Condi Rice, the Arab and Islamic opposition to US presence in Iraq has at least something to do with local perceptions that the US invaded Iraq on behalf of Israel, and Iraqis often refer to US troops as “al-Yahud,” “the Jews.” This is conspiracy theory thinking and wrong-headed, but it is the reality on the ground. Even the notorious attack on the four mercenaries in Falluja was done in the name of the murdered Palestinian leader Sheikh Yassin. The deeply unpopular US support for Israel’s depredations against the Palestinians was one of the things that foredoomed a US military occupation of a major Arab country.”

    It started with Palestine and it will end with Palestine.

    That many people don’t get Satire shouldn’t be surprising, considering the total ignorance of Rhetoric in the present Age.
    As an example, Goldy, you had a caller, a mature woman, who claimed to ‘get’ Satire, but felt that the General’s positions were too extreme and outrageous to be ‘funny’. . . .
    First, she has no understanding of the establishment of an Satirical Mask, nor what it takes to establish the Donnee of a Satire. Granted with a world filled with gas-bag Hush Bimbo and shrieking banshees such as Ann Coulter and harpies like Michelle Malkin, it is difficult to properly delineate an implicit positive standard, but nevertheless common decency and common sense are not totally dead. Furthermore, the idea that Satire is “funny” in preference to it’s true goals of holding up its targets to ridicule and abhorrence is just wrong headed. Swift and his Satires have always been properly characterized as Savage not ‘funny’.
    Now, if I were to fault the good General, it would be that he does not often enough set aside his Mask and show his true voice.
