Got work to do, so I call on more industrious DUers to do a little Googling to find photos of Republican, tea bag, and other such pols posing proudly with the Qadhafi. It will mean nothing, of course, to the slathering sycophants, as we saw in connection with the photos of a young Rumsfeld heaping praise on Saddam Hussein (remember him?). But it might make us all feel a little better continuing to heap contempt and disdain on the hypocrites on the right. (Of course, there are likely to be photos of Dems with Qadhafi as well, so, what the hell, post them also, and we'll be equal opportunity disdainers.)

You do realize, of course, that the US government will almost certainly screw up its relations with the new Libyan government and thereby enable the Chinese to get all the oil, contracts, etc. Mark my words. We are congenitally unable to manage these transitions to our advantage.
