Asshat Quote of the Day

I am very certain that this military engagement will not be very difficult. It may entail the risk of American lives and treasure, but Saddam Hussein is vastly weaker than he was in 1991. He does not have the support of his people.

And I'd ask one question: What member of the Iraqi army is willing to die for Saddam Hussein when they know he's going to be taken out? So I don't think it's going to be nearly as difficult as some assume. St. John McCain

Greenwald wonders why McCain is always assumed to be "experienced", "tough", and "Serious", when he's been completely wrong about the most important foreign policy decisions in my lifetime.

Thousands and thousands of people are dead - and the disconnect of the reality of that in the American psyche is just disturbing as fuck.

Over and over, John McCain has displayed an ignorance of the difference between Shia and Sunni Muslims.. but he was a POW in Vietnam, so that's not supposed to matter.

The press will give McCain a pass on it all. After all, he throws nice BBQ's at his ranch in Sedona for them.

Meanwhile.. plastered all over the news - Hillary Clinton was in the Whitehouse when Bill got a blow job.

Really.. what the fuck is going on here? Is it a concerted effort from the entire media? Is it the vapid American public that demands it?

It's rather depressing.
