The Audience Votes With Their Feet
It’s all about knowing your audience, I guess.
Bush again defended the invasion of Iraq today. This is news that I’m sure no one reading this blog is that surprised about. Given that he knows there is absolutely no way he will be confronted by a reporter who might actually press the issue, he’s free to insist that:
Iraq was a threat to us
and
9/11 had anything to do with his decision to go to war.
But still, I do find myself wondering, from time to time, just what kind of retarded fools he thinks we are.
Then I saw in which state he was speaking.
I belive you can guess.
ETA: And speaking of the Elvis state, guess who’s an outspoken supporter of the Senate “marriage” vote? Why it’s Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn, who said:
“If the vote were today, it probably would not get two-thirds…the reason for bringing it up is to elevate an issue which defines us as a society. The institution of marriage constitutes the fabric of our society. … That fabric is being torn apart by activist judges.”
In the words of funny gay man Bob Smith, what do straight men know about fabric? We won’t even get into the already belabored point that Republicans seem to like activist judges just fine when it comes to picking a president.
We will, however, point out that this administration also seems to oppose states rights when it comes to marriage, but support them when it comes to logging.
