Dopey Woman Giggles Her Analysis

Hey Folks -

Recently Duhbya visited Latin America and was rudely received by the people there.

NPR reported on this, interviewing Jennifer Sieg from The Council on Foreign Relations, which is billed by Wikipedia as "an influential and independent, nonpartisan foreign policy membership organization."

But what did I say in an ealier posting about everything coming from the perspective of the people on top? Yeah, "independent, nonpartisan"; what does THAT mean? Look who's a member:

Alcoa
American International Group
Bank of America
Bloomberg
Boeing
BP
Chevron
Citigroup
ExxonMobil
Ford Motor
General Electric
Goldman Sachs
Halliburton
IBM
JP Morgan Chase
Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.
Lehman Brothers
Lockheed Martin
McGraw-Hill
McKinsey
Merck
Merrill Lynch
News Corporation
Shell Oil
Time Warner
Toyota

AND

Dick Cheney
Condoleezza Rice
Paul Wolfowitz
Robert M. Gates
John D. Negroponte
Richard Perle
Leslie Gelb
Colin Powell
Alice Rivlin
Madeleine Albright
Zbigniew Brzezinski
Henry Kissinger
Jack Welch
Alan Greenspan
Paul Volcker
Vernon Jordan
John C. Whitehead
George Soros
Brent Scowcroft
George Shultz
James Woolsey
Jimmy Carter
Warren Christopher
James D. Wolfensohn
Steven Weinberg
Edgar Bronfman
Lawrence Eagleburger
David Rockefeller, Jr.
John D. Rockefeller, IV


Now, do you think these corporations and politicians aren't "partisan"??

Yeah, right. They care about Americans' interests - rich Americans' interests !!

So listen to Ms. Seig giggle about how Boy George knows so much better than Chavez concerning what's good for Latin America: "When Washington today says [it is promoting] 'trade and democracy,' Latin Americans hear 'oligarchy and imperialism,' and he's - I think - trying to show that we're about more than that. [good luck!!]"

She says, because of Chavez's efforts within Latin America, Bush wants to show that he "gets" it. The interviewer asks, " So, is Chavez right? Does he understand the economics of Latin America better than the Americans?"

She laughs like a monkey. Check out her "deep" analysis of the situation. Then as the interview progresses, listen as she compares Latin America to countries on a Risk gameboard and points out which ones "we" still "have." She points out the "good news" that the leadership and the elites of the countries where the masses don't like the U.S.A. are still on "our" side.

Surprise, surprise!!! (they don't want to have to move to Miami).

I'm accustomed to the regular distortion of reality in the media, but even so, the naive, childish behavior of this young woman blathering on, ignorant that her comments were so deeply revealing, was striking.

Give a listen.
