The Sound of the Crowd

At least they have the courage of their convictions…not

As Media Matters reports here, Dick “toe sucking” Morris has joined the fleet of backpedalers trying to minimize President Bush’s role in the Schiavo case.

What fascinates me more than Bush and his ilk’s zealotry, homophobia and that kind of thing is the lengths they will go to to deny it. I can’t say I respect people like Fred Phelps and Jerry Fallwell, but at least they come out and say they hate gays and that they believe they are god’s mouthpiece on this earth.

If only I could believe that the Schiavo case was going to expose Bush conservatives as the weasely little rationalizers they are. But as I said a couple of days ago, few people have ever gone broke betting on the public’s short memory and/or stupidity.
