I'll take that back

from - smijer

I have more than one thing to say. I just got finished reading the Nuze, and I just can't hold back a couple of brief comments.


  • I find myself in one of those rare moments of agreement with theGator mouth. Hillary is basically right - election day is worth some national recognition. She's right that people who have done their time should be restored the right to vote. But Neal is right that the best way to make sure election day is a success is to keep the polls open 24 hours.
  • But, he continues to play stupid about Social Security. I know he's smarter than that, so this has just got to be rank dishonesty.
  • Ditto on Gannon-gate.
  • Bush should have known that you can't trust a friend of the Bush's. I think it's funny how, recently after Bush hiked his leg and pissed all over the gay community in a cheap and effective bid to use bigotry as a campaign strategy, this tape is released from five years ago where he worries out loud about the reprocussions from his friends in the radical religious right for his unwillingness to piss on the gays. Am I the first to think "flip flop"? Any way...
  • What, shallow platitudes will not earn us back the respect of the European community? Shock. What, we breed anti-American sentiment when we piss on our allies and start aggressive wars? Awe... Aw shucks, that its.
  • What, unprincipled Republicans who are only "conservative" when it suits their elitist agenda? Horrors! Who would have thought, in George Bush's America?
  • In the reading assignments, more efforts to paint Howard Dean as a liberal who will chase the moderates out of the Party. I guess they are hoping that's going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Personally, I think they are worried that someone's at the helm who won't turn and run at the first sign of the GOP Wurlitzer. I think they have heard the shout of "damn the torpedoes!" and they're starting to get a little bit worried. Good.

I'll shut up now.
