WHERE'S THE FIRE, DUMBYA?
Well, there seems to be one under Senator Byrd's ass, thank God!

Sen. Robert Byrd, D-BigBrassOnes, said the Menace of Midland's plans to invade Iraq are a conscious effort to distract public attention from growing problems at home.

“This administration, all of a sudden, wants to go to war with Iraq,” Byrd said. “The [political] polls are dropping, the domestic situation has problems.... So all of a sudden we have this war talk, war fervor, the bugles of war, drums of war, clouds of war.

“Don’t tell me that things suddenly went wrong. Back in August, the president had no plans.... Then all of a sudden this country is going to war,” Byrd told the Senate on Friday. “Are politicians talking about the domestic situation, the stock market, weaknesses in the economy, jobs that are being lost, housing problems? No.”

Actually, back in August, the only plans Bunnypants had were playin' golf and fundraisin' during his month-long vacation. But even so, propaganda ministers Karl 'n' Andy had already decided that August was a bad month for marketing war.

Byrd said his belief in the Constitution will prevent him from voting for Bush’s war resolution. “But I am finding that the Constitution is irrelevant to people of this administration.”
