Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, January 09, 2010

The debate over full body security scans just got a lot more graphic, thanks to Democratic political strategist and frequent flyer James Carville. Speaking on The Tony Kornheiser Show Friday, Carville laid out his vision for airport security. "Let me buy a [security] card, then go and measure my penis, and let me get on the airplane," he said.

What a dickhead.

He and Coulter could have a debate over this issue...

Maybe now he will get some respect.

Or get even less respect.

it's not a magnifier.

First scrotums, now penises. What is it with Republicans and dangley bits?

Axe's ignorance, "First scrotums, now penises. What is it with Republicans and dangley bits?"

Carville is a flaming, yellow-dog-democrat!

Where are you from - France?

Axe is gay, obssesively gay

But Carville isn't worried about his privacy: "I don't care. I'm up in the air all the time, like George Clooney," he said,

That sure makes the 'measuring his penis' part a lot easier.

Doesn't it just seem like there would be some kind of poetic justice if Carville had a really huge penis?

If you go by the 'Randy Big Unit Johnson Physical Attractiveness Compared to Penis Length Scale', it would certainly make sense.

That Carville guy again! Hey, he made a funny! What movie was he in years back, Billy Madison or something like that? Anything to keep in the news to let us know he exists. Not that I have anything wrong with making funnies.

one of the REAL mysteries of the universe is his marriage to mary matlin....
she must have been REALLY drunk..........

I was not prepared to think about James Carville's penis.

"To be or not to be, that is the question." Is he circumcised or not circumcised, that is the question.

An understatement---lot of helium (or hot air) in those balloons.

Carville's face, especially his eyes, always sort of reminded me of a snake.

I have no interest in looking at his other one -- nor do I care about its measurements.

How do you know this Vermin? Does his dick taste like shit?

Does privacy exist in the US anymore?
Why are Americans so happy to relinquish their personal privacy?

It used to exist, although in those times, men were actually "men."

Of course not Chris because you are getting all you can handle with those illegal Mexican milk snakes you are so fond of.

Do I agree with that statement---the first time I saw the guy I felt he could be the lead character in a horror movie or a great "Hannibal Lector."

Maybe now he will get some respect.

Why would he get respect for being 'needle dick the bug fucker'?

so they have powerful telescopes hooked up to these machines?

Carville: Airport Scanners Can 'Measure My Penis'

Not mine.

Forget the scanners just make everyone strip naked and put their clothes through a scanner. Flying is a privilege not a right!

"Flying is a privilege not a right!"

You don't want to be scanned? Then don't fly. If I'm flying, I'll be a lot happier knowing everyone's been given as thorough a search as possible. When they start putting the rubber gloves on, though, I'm taking the train.

Actually a friend was just on a flight that was waiting over an hour for take off and the glorified waitress (stewardess) said exactly the same thing to put the passengers in their place. It is real scary when the government empowers peasants like flight attendants, security scanners, police, immigration officers etc to have anyone locked up just because of their word alone regardless of any real cause.

Wow Doc you are joining the rest of the monkeys following along blindly to the populist security theater.

Maybe you should expect the security agencies to perform competently rather than have all law abiding travalers accept being treated like dangerous animals.

Seriously, what's your objection to been scanned, Furio? I used to travel to Northern Ireland quite often back during The Troubles and the Brit security people ran a much tighter ship -- given the technology the available -- than anything I've ever encountered in the US. And I most definitely didn't mind. Was it a bit intrusive? Sure. But so are terrorists. (Except for one time in Miami, I think it was, when my wife entered some sort of glass chamber and kept setting off the gunpowder-explosives alert; she started getting pretty mouthy with the security folks as I stood over to one side, mouthing, "Shut the fuck up!")

Drunk when?

When she married Carville or when she, like Dana Perino and Trudy Giuliani, claimed that no domestic attacks ever happened on Bush's watch?

She does sound like quite the lush.

I'll give you one thing, Furio, it won't be long -- if scanners go into wide use -- that some borderline moron working for TSA sells the "National Enquirer" or a comparable rag the body scan of some Hollywood hottie.

Because most of it is for show not for real protection. I asked a number of flight crews what they felt about the liquids ban. They said it was a joke and only to help airport store sales. Think about it. Heavy glass bottles of up to 60% alcohol content. They can make great knives and come full of accellerants. and people are allowed to bring lighters on board the plane. WTF?

Terrorists require organization and money to operate. They should be stopped long before they come to the airport. Also as has been shown on a number of occassions civilians are the best protection against terrorism on board planes.

There is way too much bullshit and hypocracy when it comes to air security which is why the common term now is security theater.

I wonder what Carville was drinking when he got with her..Matalin is one of the nastiest looking, mean spirited women I have ever seen on TV. I wouldn't want to be in the same room with that witch not to even think of bedding her without a few burlap bags over the face. Only one I know that would be worse would be mAnn Coulter with Michelle Malkin a close second. Yuck.

Doc there is always risks in life. I prefer not to be treated like a dangerous animal to reduce my risk by a miniscule amount. It is far more dangerous to drive to the airport than to fly with the threat of terrorism. Terror is an emotion, the risk associated with an attack is pretty much zero.

The security is a waste of money it is only to placate monkeys.

fur, I'll have to agree with you about airport security. It is to keep the sheep calm.

Fact is, our buractic government isn't able to pull the visa of someone that has been reported by a family member. I still wonder what the 'watch' list is fore if they arn't going to watch the people on the list.

They are already working hard at stopping terrorists:

"Man Charged in Newark Airport Security Breach"

"The man, Haisong Jiang, 28, was taken into custody at 7:30 p.m. at his home in Piscataway, N.J., according a statement from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The agency said he would be charged with defiant trespass.

Mr. Jiang was held at the authority's administration building at the airport until about midnight, when he was released on his own recognizance"

Yeah, I'm disappointed too. Obama and company should be viewing Newark airport's security personnel on a daily basis. Actually why can't Obama give up his vacation to personally oversee the security for all airports, ports and shopping malls?

What a dickhead.

If that is your opinion of Matalin, you must be one twisted loser. But that is obvious from your posts.

'Then I can squirt some Chems into it and blow the hell out of it!' Make a stupid statement about a serious situation! Oh, I'm sorry - it's just Carville! Should be secondary screening anyway, and by all means profile!

The only thing My seventy year old mother could carry on board concealed would be a FART (pretty deadly too)!

"Carville: Airport Scanners Can 'Measure My Penis'"

Yes but they still can't measure the depths of your "Depravity" can they Mr.Car_Vile!!!!

haven't flown in year's and plan's to in the future

and no plan's in the future

Is this because you are tired of all the bullshit associated with travel nowadays or because you are a typical conservative coward who pees in your diaper when you think of terrorists?

My bet is on coward.

Furio you would last two seconds in the deep south. They would tar and feather you and hang you up over the bar in the Boar's Nest

Can both sides at least agree that these body scanners are a disgrace and strip you of your dignity? I even saw a story that children in the UK cannot go through them because it violates child porn laws. If its child porn, then its adult porn as well. Its sick. And just because "they say" theyll delete the images doesnt make it ok. (because you know someone will find a way to keep them)

Actually,
I think you get much better pictures for free at various porn/nude celeb sites. I'm thinking that the blue/black/white images of the scanner will become old news quickly.

It really is just a "doing SOMETHING" thing, since the other acts of war on American soil were done without airplanes.

----------------

I agree 100%. It seems we have gone from the "present your papers please" stage to "we must see you undressed" in order to travel by public conveyance. A fundamental right delineated and protected in the US Constitution is to be free of unreasonable search without probable cause (see the 4th amendment). A machine that scans me and provides undressed images of me violates my privacy and my dignity and is uncalled for UNLESS there is probable cause to believe that I am committing a crime. It matters not whether the images are viewed in a private room or erased, it is still my right to maintain my privacy. Metal detectors, explosives sniffers and the like are fine. Further investigation of someone who fails one of these tests or who otherwise raises reasonable suspicion is fine. Otherwise it's just wrong and a violation of a fundamental right.

The real reason for pushing these is money, pure and simple. Chertoff and the like who are promoting these devices for general use stand to personally profit from their sales. They are not neccesary and they are one more incursion of big brother into our lives.

Standard security measures should be sufficient. Even catching the 9/11 hijackers shouldn't have required this kind of search. They were allegedly using box cutters that should have been caught by the metal detectors and, according to the calls from flight 93, at least one was wearing a bomb attached to his chest. That should have been caught and could have been by a metal detector without subjecting everyone to invasive searches, not to mention that most of those guys were known to the FBI anyhow.

Sorry Timbcil, I'll leave the hard-core gay bars to conservatives like you and cookfish.

You too much of a coward to board a plane and come out of the closet?

He and Coulter could have a debate over this issue...

A battle of wits or a contest of length?
