Future Cialis spokesmodel Richard Perle took to the pages of The National Interest to assure us that it was most certainly not his fault. What wasn't his fault, you ask? It, that's what wasn't, none of it. Typically when a rat leaves a sinking ship, it attempts to make the escape while the fucker's still partly above water at least, but to each rodent his own pace, I suppose. The intellectual acumen on display is proof--if you needed any more of it--that the Lord Baby Jesus loves mediocrities most among us: he fucks the poor and helpless, he makes geniuses mad, poor, or syphilitic, but Richard Perle has the ear of presidents and potentates, plus a cushy gig writing exculpatory fantasies in various subsidized publications.
It's all done in a tone of mock reasonableness mixed with aggrieved resignation, suggesting a man who's come home from a tough day at work to tell the wifea honey-you-won't-believe story, even as he forgets to tell her that in fact he was fired. Skim it and see what I mean. Of all its revisionisms, one strikes me as the most compellingly retarded:
OUR PRE-9/11 concept of security assumed that terrorists wished to survive their attacks.Richard Perle, meet October 23, 1983.

I saw Richard Perle when he gave a talk at the, get this, divinity school I attended. It was about a year and a half ago, so I don't remember the specifics of his lies, but his talk was peppered with them.
He's been unemployed for four months now. His wife doesn't suspect anything.

Or, you know, the fucking Tamil Tigers.
Talk about mediocrities. Jesus.
I feel for you, wading through Kissinger AND the Dickster in a single day. But as far as that last remark about suicidal enemies goes, give the asshole a little credit for a fairly succinct version of, "Aw shit, the fucking obvious just clubbed me in the face!" I mean, think of Greenspan's description of the same, er, epiphany.

The thing that always impressed me about Perle was that he was such obvious sleezebag, a walking sneer straight out of central casting, and yet people seemed to take the bulljive that came out of his mouth seriously. Christ.

Good times!
OT but I've always been curious; When a rat leaves a sinking ship, where does it go?
I guess there's always the AEI.
Hmm, the link doesn't work and even finding it in the "Latest Issue" section yields a broken link. You must've made them see the error of their ways!
It's amazing the lessons these guys learn from things, years after everyone else has already learned them from something else, only to completely miss the latest lesson and continually blame it all on "unforeseeable" consequences.
I mean, I don't think anyone envisioned the levees breaking, man.
I thought you were kidding with the 'National Interest' publication.
IT really does exist...I suppose the name 'Conservative Resting Home Quarterly' was already taken.
