Cliff LyonFor Bush’s Amusement?
h/t Crooks and Liars
88% of Americans polled by CNN* said, Rep Stark should NOT apologize the his recent remark:
“Where are you going to get that money? You’re going to tell us lies like you’re telling us today? Is that how you’re going to fund the war? You don’t have money to fund the war or children.
“But you’re going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the President’s amusement. Full transcript
* No surprise, CNN took down the poll. Very American.

I couldn’t believe my ears this morning. On Joe Scarborough’s MSNBC show, Rush Limbaugh confidently stated that the 2008 election won’t be about Iraq, because Iraq is “off the radar.” He must be on something stronger than OxyContin these days.
Bush has asked Congress for an additional $46 billion in war-related spending– just for his own amusement, making the Democrats look bad for going on vacation without taking action on an unnecessary demand for more money. S-CHIP would have cost $30 billion, the equivalent of three months of the Iraq occupation.

Well, I could be like the snobs in my office, who claim not to even own a TV. But I know they’re lying.

And snobbery it is.
I fully admit to watching the O’Reilly Factor regularly from 2003-05 (until I canceled cable). Call it social research or voyeurism. I just couldn’t stop.

UPDATE: Rep. Pete Stark abjectly apologizes for his remarks after the House vote to censure him fails.
