From the Department of Ironic Ironies

Up is down, black is white, war is peace and tyranny is democracy in Dictatortot's Bizarro World:

President Bush yesterday offered his strongest support of embattled Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, saying the general "hasn't crossed the line" and "truly is somebody who believes in democracy."
Bush spoke nearly three weeks after Musharraf declared emergency rule, sacked members of the Supreme Court and began a roundup of journalists, lawyers and human rights activists. Musharraf's government yesterday released about 3,000 political prisoners, although 2,000 remain in custody, according to the Interior Ministry.

Pretty much in the same way that Bush "believes in democracy". Is there more than one definition of democracy? Or is it that I was really stoned looking up girls' skirts and wasn't paying attention in school that day? Just what WOULD it take to cross the line?

"What exactly would it take for the president to conclude Musharraf has crossed the line? Suspend the constitution? Impose emergency law? Beat and jail his political opponents and human rights activists?" asked Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a presidential candidate. "He's already done all that. If the president sees Musharraf as a democrat, he must be wearing the same glasses he had on when he looked in Vladimir Putin's soul."

The Chimperor's comments show his own contempt for democratic principles. Now is the time thatwe should really be asking "Are our President takes drugs?" Or has he crossed the line into acute delusional psychosis?
They hate us because of our freedoms! Yesirree, THAT'S the ticket.
