Perfect ad. Those who would say otherwise are probably on the payroll of one of those outfits that pay people to muddy up the comments.

Good job. Ballsiness is next to Godliness with most voters these days. Obama just showed that he isn't gonna let them piss on his leg while trying to convince him it's raining.

One can only hope that this means they've finally run out of money to fund wingnut welfare cases.

There IS apparently a limit to the amount of incompetent flotsam and jetsam that can be supported in the rightwing biosphere.

On the other hand, we've got self professed yet un-indicted war criminals in the White House, so Gonzales' replacement is clearly doing his a good job.

Why did they go to Cuba? Don't buy into the TPM misdirection.

They were acting as extras in the next Hostel release. Hostel 6 I think it is. Working title: Cuban Vacation. Rich rightwing congressmen and their lawyers pay big money to see innocent
Germans, Canadians and Arabs tortured and killed. It's gonna be the biggest hit in the Hostel series.

In the war crimes trials we should only hold Mr. Woo responsible for the torture and deaths in Cuba. He has distanced himself from the larger field of torturers, but he is not without sin. This mea culpa may be enough to save him from the death penalty at the war crimes trials.

I wasn't willing to sit quietly while the radical five percent of hardcore Christian Reconstructionists tried to add their faith based science to our public schools.

I even more outraged that their neocon brothers-in-arms are now advocating faith based interviews (TORTURE) of military prisoners. One would presuppose that real religious people would be the first to stand up against the very practices that among other things, caused them to flee for America in the first place.

That there has been no public outcry against TORTURE by the vast religious community PROVES that religion in America really is dead. The trumped up statistics on church attendance belie the truth that I can barely get a tee-time at a golf course on Sunday mornings even in a Baptist stonghold (Jackson, MS).

What's really going on is that the rather smallish number of Americans who still believe in the whole inerrant scripture (literal translation) hogwash are more powerful because of the politics of cronyism and payoffs. It helps that they have a dry drunk President who thinks he's on a mission from God.

Wasn't it David Cho who turned state's evidence on the rightwing religionists? Bad thing about him is that his complaint was originally that the Government wasn't coming thru with as much ChristCASH as originally promised. He was mad that the mixing of state and religion promised didn't fully come to pass.

I have more respect for the meth dealing male whore whose conscious led him to out gay bashing Pastor Ted Haggard.

Government money directed at ANY religious entity is AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION. Like spying on innocent Americans and torturing prisoners. Once you decide to start abridging the Bill of Rights, it gets easier to do and harder to stop.

I see exactly what you're saying. We're going to bomb Iran because we've got cellphone envy. China appears to be consuming cell phones at a rate that might cause them to recycle the solder out of the old phones for use in paints for our children's toys, and we'll all soon be getting instant messages on our Iphones from Nigerians asking for financial "assistance". Insightful.

The Republican Noise machine is driven top down while the Democratic version is bottom up. Look to the polls regarding Iraq to see which works better before feeling too despondent.

In response to Josh's 'I don't take these fully formed British Reports with much acclaim.

One of the best of the web’s new media is Talking Points Memo by Josh Marshall. I’m loathe to criticize Josh, as his talents, access to Beltway insiders and ability to read the political winds are legend.

Here though, I believe he’s either trying to be overly optimistic, or ignoring the many precedents that have gone before. I won’t do a link by link smackdown of British articles in relation to their timeliness or accuracy, because I’m sure there are many stories that didn’t turn out to be true. On the other hand, and the reason I’m taking the time to gently smite Josh is the biggest story I personally remember reading from the UK, and the one upon which (among many other things) is a cornerstone of my belief that Bush and his entire cabal should be impeached (for starters)

It was in the British press that I read about the falsified Niger documents. I remember commenting at the time that any plausible deniability that the White House thought they might have on that document was shattered by the British press, and LONG BEFORE the President used it in his State of the Union fiasco.

Amanda asks "How did it get to this?"

Partial answer:

Because the news media falls for it every time.

Do they really? Are they or anybody at that high a functioning human level THAT STUPID ALL THE TIME? Don't believe it for a minute. We may still have a semblance of a free society, but in terms of mainstream press it's all bought and paid for. The hardest part of watching the news today (Olberman excepted) is watching them and wondering who they think they're fooling. Faux is the tour de force, but others are just as bad.

I'll bet that more people already know Brittany is bald than know we didn't find WMD's in Iraq even after all these years.
