I think you can hold your breath for this one--and it won't strain your lungs for you to do so.

For some reason I can't stop myself from going to the FB pages etc. of "friends" inclined strongly to the right. A little self-punishment is good now and then. I have noticed their anti-Obama rhetoric on this seems to have dried up. No more, "he's handled this badly from the beginning and is no in over his head" blah blah. Nothing positive to say either, but it's something.

McCain and Graham. The never-saw-a-war-I-didn[t-like crowd, to be sure.

Bill Maher, never one to hold his tongue had this to say on his show recently about Syria and American interventionism overall.

On Friday night’s edition of “Real Time With Bill Maher,” the venerable host hammered U.S. foreign policy in general, but specifically as it pertains to the crisis in Syria. In the first segment of his show, back from its Augus vacation, known as “New Rules,” Maher wrapped the bit up by excoriating not just President Obama, but all the U.S. presidents who have continued to use military force to intervene in other countries’ conflicts. Perhaps Maher’s most stinging criticism was when he said that American policies in Syria made our country look like George Zimmerman, the recently acquitted killer of young Trayvon Martin.

“We need to have a debate about why we’re always debating about whether to bomb someone. Because we’re starting to look not so much like the world’s policeman, but more like George Zimmerman,” Maher told the audience both in the studio and at home. The political pundit and comedian said we act like Zimmerman because we’re “itching to use force, and then pretending we had no choice.” Those words might be a bitter pill for some in the country to swallow, but with over 60% of the population opposing the use of force in Syria, Maher may be onto something that many Americans on both sides of the aisle are feeling.

Worse than Zimmerman, at least before he killed Martin. Post-Martin Zimmerman, yeppers.

I often think Bill Maher says what it is I am thinking, even if it can be in a crass way. I still remember him calling foul on Time magazine for choosing Rudy Giuliani as "the man who has had the biggest impact on world events" over Osama Bin Laden in the wake of 9/11 attacks. He pointed out that Time had no trouble choosing Hitler back in the day. Ah, Bill, keep em comin.

I go in an check on Rush every now and then on his radio show or web page just to see what this great thinker is thinking. Ahem. And today you had to go pretty far down the page to find anything about Syria. Looks like it is hard to find anything bad to say about the Obama administration's handling of it, at least for now.

Did we really have a sockpuppet in the Soapbox? Pathetic. Probably better use of their time to try to sell us kitchens.
