politricks and other distractions

Thanks for the Birthday Present, Bob!

On this, the 40-something anniversary of the day my father dropped my very pregnant mother off at Bethesda Naval and said, "Call me when it's over," I must salute Bob Woodward for the best present I've ever received. A book about how the Bush Administration is lying to us about the war. Thanks, Bobby!! It's almost nice enough for me to forget the other two books where you kissed their feet, then gave them pedicures!!

And below, an appropriate cartoon by Anne Talnaes that displays this Administration's attitude toward all our human sacrifice for Bush's Supreme Folly. In case you didn't hear the comma story, Bush was asked at a press conference about how history will treat this war and he said the quote she used as a caption: "When the final history is written about Iraq, it'll look like just a comma."


So, Bob, how do you deal with all the dead soldiers and dead innocent civilians in Iraq who've suffered unspeakable deaths since you first started making money off supporting the Bush Administration on this war? Maybe they'll get lucky and you'll go on Celebrity Jeopardy again, like you did a few years ago, and win - and then send the $20,000 to an Iraqi charity instead of to your child's posh high school in DC like you did then?

You're really an inspiration. Ahhh, journalism. It's not just for the intrepid anymore. It's for the rich.
