In Tehran by Summer

Rudy Giuliani has just announced a new raft of foreign policy advisors. And I guess the premise of the campaign is now that the Bush administration wasn't sufficiently riddled by neoconservative whackjobs.

Topping the list: Michael Rubin as Senior Iran and Turkey Advisor and Middle East Advisory Board Member.

I really don't know how to describe Rubin for those who aren't familiar with him. He worked at Doug Feith's Office of Special Plans. But that hardly does the matter justice -- rather like saying Dick Cheney was a supporter of the Iraq War. On the TPM Scale of Pure Neoconism (TM) Rubin gets well over 99%. Like the most interesting and frightening neos, Michael is that perfect mix of extreme factual knowledge and extreme lack of judgment, prone to wild-eyed theories and fantasies of various sorts but all in the end leading inexorably toward catastrophic policy moves for the United States.

You really might as well put Ahmed Chalabi as your top Mideast or Iran advisor.

Josh forgets that Chalabi was revealed to be an Iranian agent. So we'd probably be better off with Chalabi as the president's Middle East adviser than with Rubin.

Or maybe Josh didn't forget, and is hinting at something.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

And in our graves by early autumn.

How do these homicidal morons keep finding employment? If I was wrong 100 percent of the time, no one would EVER employ me. These clowns, though, keep falling into high-level jobs, even if they're the "dumbest motherfucker ever," in Tommy Franks' words about Feith. And this butthead actually worked FOR Feith, which makes him even dumber than Feith.

As part of the ongoing smear campaign Ron Paul is being pressured to renounce the support he's getting from freedom of association websites, meanwhile Giuliani takes Zionist supremacist crazies like these and makes them part of his campaign, and not a peep is heard from the old media. Having been a Buchanan supporter in '96 and again in 2000, I've seen the lemmings fall for this crap before, which is why it's been difficult for me to get too excited about the RP campaign.
