Joe, I was bit concerned that the your K key was stuck.

Having said that, I would certainly agree with the appellation of the Kennedy Klan. I say would they are THE Klan.

Andrew McCarthy is not entirely correct. Yes, the pool is smaller but not all remaining are the “hardest cases”. In some of the cases release poses no problems for us at all, and never has…they’ve been trying to find out what to do with those inmates because their release would cause problems FOR THEM. And since we can’t return, for instance, the Uighurs to China where they would be killed for certain, or the Uzbeks to Uzbekistan where they would be boiled to death, the process of finding a place takes time. Two Uzbeks recently went to Ireland, and some of the Uighurs went to a remote Island I’ve never heard of and the name escapes me…

So, per the topic, there’s no reason to conclude that Obama is releasing the “worst of the worst” back out to reek havoc. There has been an annual review process at Gitmo in place for years. The purpose of the review process is to evaluate whether or not the suspects pose a threat. If there were no absolutely question, there would be no need for annual review boards.

The thought occurred to me when Obama announced his intention to close Gitmo, that the property, with harbor, buildings and airfield, would make a wonderful gift to Fidel, just to “extend a hand of friendship instead of a closed fist.” Lokks like that will take a little longer than planned.

A clever… but ultimately mal use of the Marine Corps Hymn. Best

There should be lots of room for them. I’m sure the Kennedy Klan Kompound kould (I kouldn’t resist that) should be able to take a few hundred. Pelosi can turn over some of her rental property (spreading the wealth, don’t you know) to house a few dozen more – and maybe pick up some cheap labor to work her vineyards too.

I think both Babs “Don’t call me Ma’am I’m more important than that” Boxer and The Divine Ms. Di can house a dozen in their mansions.

And the former junior senator from IL can find a few empty rooms in the White House, I’m sure. See how easy it is to solve these things?

An aside.

I was browsing around and found this:

THE OBAMA PC CLOWN CORPS HYMN

(sung to the tune of the “Marine Corps Hymn”)

From the Halls of Academia
To the Shores of Hope and Change;
We wont’t fight our country’s battles
Cause war is so deranged;
But we’ll fight for social justice
And to spread the wealth around;
We are proud to claim the title of
An Obama PC Clown.

Our progressive cause is all the rage
From dawn to setting sun;
And the dilly-dally dithering
Hides the barrel of our gun;
In the snow of far-off northern states
And in sunny southern towns;
You will find us always on the job–
Obama’s PC Clowns.

Here’s a toast to our great CIC
Who we are proud to serve!
And we’d stand up for our way of life
If we only had the nerve;
If Pelosi and the Democrats
Ever doffed their little crowns;
They would find their back are covered by
Obama’s PC Clowns.

I say this in jest of course…

We didn’t get the Olympics in IL either.
