Which was actually the perfect intro to Webb's speech. <i>Mr. President, if you don't do it, the Congress will do it for you.</i> A plan to avoid failure: take the toys out of the stupid, destructive little brat's hands.

I know there's acknowledgments every year, but that part of the speech took on more of a "since y'all are sick o' me, here's some people you'll probably like" flavor this time around. Can't go wrong with the NY subway guy from there. New rule: Bush has to talk about defending ourselves from evil instead of from more tangible things every time he speaks in public from now on. The population seems to be tuning in to how weird of a notion that is for a president to repeatedly advocate in public with a straight face. Did i hear right that he explained to the voters they did not vote for defeat? I definitely hope he gets in the habit of telling the voters themselves what he has decided they voted for in the midterm elections, as specifically as possible.

Here. Not only does he make those labels irrelevant, he hints at a moment when ideology is spotted for the ugly, destructive pathology it's become. Those labels have become a refuge for the intellectually lazy, the simple minded, and the craptastic punditocracy we have to suffer. Jim Webb is a conservative; Jim Webb is a liberal. Here.

He eloquently articulates my feeling as a veteran on how Bush has broken the bonds of trust with America's servicemen and women. I've posted many comments on this blog crying that the soldiers in Iraq are dying in vain, not to take the worthiness of their sacrifice from them, but to express the disregard for the worthiness of their lives that Bush has shown. I know in my heart that when Bush says, " we weep and we mourn"...those words are hollow to him. If you love and respect someone, you won't decieve them.

Maybe Monica Lewinsky's back?
