For me, it justifies the intervention. What eventually ensued was unfortunate. The AP article was followed by a CBS “60 Minutes” piece featuring an interview with Agent Piro.

I think that's when I gagged. He gets the twin prizes for Chutzpah and Hypocrisy. Josh – I heard that part of Bush’s speech.

I think that’s when I gagged.

He gets the twin prizes for Chutzpah and Hypocrisy.

Of course, he had no problem with them when Republicans were in the majority in Congress. I guess selective good governance is better than none at all. Steve,

Bush did call for more disclosure and a reduction of earmarks in his State of the Union. Of course, he had no problem with them when Republicans were in the majority in Congress. I guess selective good governance is better than none at all.

In the meantime: when was the last time that the current administration was right about ANYTHING? “In the mind of American ultra-liberals – you know, those individuals who can’t stand their homeland, but who spend most of their time reaping the benefits the U.S. has to offer, while making daily stops at Starbucks, eating granola and sporting corduroy jackets – the U.S. is always the culprit.”

Extremists from both sides of the ideological spectrum are dangerous for both our democracy and survival as a nation. Just because you disagree with the administration's decisions, does not make you un-American. Freedom to dissent our elected officials is what separates us from other powers around the globe and is a very uniquely, American right.

Which is where they'd have to go after reading this run-on masterpiece in fallacies of logic. Billy's aim is not to persuade us liberals to come around to his way of thinking, but rather to excoriate us and try to browbeat us into submission. I got the impression when he was done that he wanted us to shout hosannas that blessed Billy has delivered the 'truth at last'. The Bush-Cheney cartel is the most crooked administration we've had since Nixon's, and is far more of a threat to our Constitutionally guaranteed liberties than it ever was. When I read the first version of this screed, I thought surely Billy had been drinking. When he cleaned it up, it was more user-friendly, but I was left scratching my head in wonderment why someone who talks about "the winning over of the hearts and minds of radical Islamic fascists" seems so determined to earn their enmity, and ours.
