Good one, Roots. Unbelievable arrogance on the part of Alfred E. Bush, draftdodger and nitwit-in-charge.

I once met an ex-Marine at a vets' encampment in Boston Commons back in the 80s, protesting the US's terrorist campaigns in Central America. He was a survivor of the blast that destroyed the Marine barracks in Beirut back then, which killed hundreds. Eventually, the survivors were all hauled to the White House for a full-dress ceremony of being decorated by the president, Reagan at the time. When it came time for Reagan to pin his decoration on, Reagan told him how proud his country was of him and asked him how he was doing. He replied that he wasn't interested in being decorated and what he wanted to know, really, was what in the fucking world they'd been doing there in the first place.

Of course, he was marched off so quickly that he nearly didn't register on Reagan's damaged radar.

End of Marines career, hut!

I have the feeling that faux tough guy Cheney will keep his distance from Senator-elect Webb.

[Gary Sisco]

It's a count down now til he's a private citizen again. I'd smack Cheney up and down and be more than willing to stand for an assault charge for it. If anyone ever deserved a beat down ....

He'd certainly find out that executive power has its limits.

Not so far that he can't fill his face full of birdshot, though.

I found this more interesting, further down on RD's link,

Wal-Mart, GOP forsake God, groups say

Some Christian conservative groups say both Wal-Mart and the Republican Party have “forsaken God.” And just as the GOP took a hit in the elections earlier this month, the groups say the retail giant’s lower-than-expected November sales figures are the wages of that sin.

Why are sales below estimates? “It is for the same reason things went south for the Republican Party this past election cycle,” read a statement by the Rev. Flip Benham and Pat McEwan, with Operation Save America and Operation Save Wal-Mart. “Wal-Mart has forsaken God and it has forsaken the people who love Him.”

The groups led protesters on Nov. 24 to picket the “gates of hell” — that is, Wal-Mart stores around the country. They say Wal-Mart, like the GOP, has strayed from its founding principles, set by founder Sam Walton, citing Wal-Mart’s dispensing of “Plan B” contraception and the fact that the retailer is a corporate member of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.

Save his son?

Pssh.

He must be a traitor to his country.




Either that or just another f'king Liberal Democrat.
