Groundhog Day

"Don't govern angry!...Don't govern angry!"












I wish I had thought of it, but i didn't. The experience of waking up to the same nightmarish scenario, day after day and hearing exactly the same words no matter what was noted by Philadelphia Inquirer political journalist Dick Polman. It's a damning indictment that should be read all the way through and can be found HERE.

Bush continues to lie and change his story. Two days ago he made this statement: "I don't think we ever said -- at least I didn't say -- that there was a direct connection between Sept. 11 and Saddam Hussein."

Now you were all there right?

Jon Stewart on The Daily Show made essentially the same point. Bush keeps to the same dead rhetoric. It worked at first because people were afraid after the attack. Now thatwe are in an epic debacle that was unnecessary and may cost $1 trillion dollars of your money and your children's money, the old rhetoric seems more and more to be what it is...empty rhetoric.

For Stewart's version (called "Rambling man" you can watch the video HERE.

Polman is a man worth noting. Today he deftly handled the paranoid whining "you're aiding the enemy by asking questions" drivel that neo-Cons trot out so there is no accountability for their actions.
