The Whole Delivery

"Is it irrational for Iran to have a nuclear weapon?"  A good friend of this mostly irrelevant site and colleague in Chris Hayes had on his show last night Rep. Eliot Engel with the good sir that is Hooman Majd, and asked that great question above to Engel's pro-AIPAC, pro-Zionist loving self. It was a question that you will never hear anywhere else in American cable or broadcast news unless from a real journalist. You will see Hayes' pertinent question from the mouths of faux-centrist journalists who have hurt this country for so long with their shoddy work. Also, Majd was terrific in not backing down to Engel's usual dismissive, disturbing, and disgraceful pro-Zionist bias. If I were hosting the show, I would have definitely joined in on slamming Engel for calling Rouhini a "hard-liner," when he is certainly not that. More to come from The Whole Delivery, stay tuned. 

Besides the sports, there are other things to cover, as this is The Whole Delivery after all. Good old bipartisan is never in doubt on this issue ! Even as Israel shows signs of loosening its blockade of Gaze, large majorities in the House and Senate have signed off on letters supporting the blockade and defending Israel's enforcement of it against a Turkish vessel. Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, along with 83 other senators, have signed the Senate version of the letter , which is backed by AIPAC; 298 members of the House have signed on . As Greenwald said : As only teabaggers can do, they want mean old president Obama to stop attacking BP !!! Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul of Kentucky said Friday that he was disturbed by Obama's promise to find out "whose ass to kick." "I'll move past the obvious problem with the appropriateness of the comment to just say this: Look in the mirror Mr. President," Paul said in a statement. "This ...

So classic, where it prompted reports to retract the news just like Friday with Politico releasing the fake Democratic memo. AIPAC got punked, and punked well. It seems someone was able to somehow disguise themselves as the top spokesperson of the organization and send out an email signing that Israel stop settlement building in East Journalism. So funny : FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Josh Block March 22, 2010 AIPAC CALLS ON THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT TO IMMEDIATELY DEFUSE TENSIONS WITH UNITED STATES URGES ISRAEL TO FREEZE ALL SETTLEMENTS With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveling to the United States to speak at the AIPAC 2010 Policy Conference and meet with President Barack Obama, AIPAC reaffirms the U.S-Israel relationship rooted in mutual strategic interest, shared democratic values, and a commitment to peace in the region. To further solidify this relationship, AIPAC calls on the Netanyahu government to make a conscious effort to move away from actions that create ...

Everybody in the rational online community doesn't need to be reminded of how awesome Anthony Weiner is. And the fact that he represents Brooklyn (though not my district, as Ed Towns represents it) is further admiration for the Congressman. Until further notice, he will remain one of the few public officials that I can confidently call "a public official" instead of a politician. In short, more people like Anthony Weiner would certainly be a benefit to our government, no question about that. But there comes a time when that usually terrific Congressional figure you respect and appreciate a lot is so wrong on an issue that you can't let favoritism block you from criticizing him or her. And that is the moment I'm presented with here in regards to Congressmen Weiner. He said this earlier today, with full conviction : New York Rep. Anthony Weiner is adding his voice to the criticism of the White House's response to an ill-timed Israeli construction decisio...
