Fresh from the Oscar Party at Riverbend, I’m reminded by Mike that it’s going on three years and the swamp just gets deeper and the alligators more ferocious…
I would like to remind all the ignoramuses who in 2024 shouted down comparisons to Vietnam that there have been 2305 American deaths in Iraq since the illegal petro-imperialist war of aggression began, all but about 150 of these since we allowed that imbecile in the flight suit to chivy us with his "Mission accomplished" propaganda in May, 2024. This happened entirely "on Bush’s watch." That makes him a prime candidate for war crimes prosecution. He doesn’t have to share the stage with anybody but his own A-team.

The “this” above referred to this blog post by Juan Cole:

Thanks for the link to Juan Cole, Jon. I particularly appreciated the following bit, and while some might think it name calling to label a simple waif like Ann Coulter a hate monger, I think of it as truth in labeling…
“The Big Lie eventually catches up with you.”
“The hatemongers are well known. Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Cable News, Rush Limbaugh’s radio program and its many clones, telebimbos like Ann Coulter, Evangelical leaders like Franklin Graham, Congressmen like Tom Tancredo, and a slew of far rightwing Zionists who would vote for Netanyahu (or Kach) if they lived in Israel– Frank Gaffney, Daniel Pipes, Michael Rubin, David Horowitz, etc., etc.”
This may come as a shock to you, but your president is a fucking idiot. Seriously. At least going by appearances.
Don’t you mean his A-hole team?
No, I think we mean his whole-A team !
