WTF Is It Now?!?

Cynical, Pissy Edition


I'm not saying anything about tinfoil hats. In today's America, it's become pretty damn easy to believe that something like this could be arranged. Hey, if they could look the other way when the 9/11 attacks were going down, why the hell not? They'll do anything to stay in power.

From The Possible Assassination of Paul Wellstone, by Ted Rall:
George W. Bush's Legacy of Cynicism and Contempt

George W. Bush and his henchmen stole the presidency. They threw thousands of innocent people into prison without even charging them with a crime. They're gearing up to invade Iraq without bothering to come up with a substantial justification. Now some Democrats and progressive Americans are asking the unthinkable about an administration they increasingly believe to be ruled by thugs and renegades. Did government gangsters murder the United States' most liberal legislator?



Hypocrisy Meter Explodes as Repugs throw Tantrum Over Memorial Service
Compassionate conservatives show us what honor and dignity truly mean. Republicans decry Wellstone service as partisan, demand 'equal time' on TV, allege deaths were used 'for political gain.' Poor Trent Lott - his panties were in such a twist that he walked out of the service. Oh - when asked what KSTP-TV might do to address complaints, the news director said the station probably wouldn't worry as much about over-covering a reported visit from Dumbya on Sunday to garner support for Coleman.
