I managed to get a pretty obscure Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference quoted on Instapundit:

Now, the only thing about the Hunter story that actually interests me is the inside baseball: The fact that it might have the beneficial side effect of preventing Edwards from being appointed to an Attorney General position for which he is supremely unqualified in an Obama Administration. . . . No, the reason I mention this ban is to point out that the Times was not hobbled by any such scruples when John McCain was accused — on much thinner evidence — of having possibly, maybe, sort of having had an inappropriate relationship with Vicki Iseman almost a decade earlier. In fact, a search of the Times website for her name brings up 101 results. Doubtless they'd argue that the Enquirer isn't a credible source. But the same could be (and was) said of the two anonymous and admittedly disgruntled former aides who were peddling the Iseman story. One needn't leap to any conclusions here; one need only take a small step and there conclusions are.

This gives me an inordinate amount of pleasure.

By the way, nice try attempting to get Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz, and Lucille LeSueur past me. Better luck next time!

What's a starch Republican?

Is that what you get called if you take PAC money from Archer-Daniels-Midland to promote counterproductive ethanol subsidies?

How To Fool A Left-wing Revolutionary

As we learn more about the Colombian military's daring hostage rescue last week, one detail stands out: In tricking FARC rebels into putting the hostages aboard a helicopter, undercover special forces simply told the comandantes that the aircraft was being loaned to them by a fictitious nongovernmental organization sympathetic to their cause called the International Humanitarian Mission.

It may have taken years for army intelligence to infiltrate the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, and it may have been tough to convincingly impersonate rebels. But what seems to have been a walk in the park was getting the FARC to believe that an NGO was providing resources to help it in the dirty work of ferrying captives to a new location.


The brilliance (and unintentional irony) doesn't end there: The rescuers fooled FARC by dressing in Che t-shirts.
