It really amazes me a person can say something like this and avoid having their head explode:
“There is no polite way to put this: Obama’s incompetence is getting people killed,” – Liz Cheney, daughter of a vice-president who presided over the deaths of more than 3,000 people in New York City after being warned explicitly that al Qaeda was preparing a major attack on the United States.You can say a lot about Obama but — in the context of the recent Presidency that defined and expanded the notion of Epic FAIL and blistering incompetence to unprecedented heights — using “incompetence” to describe him is more than a little rich coming from someone who helped Bush wreck our country through the stratospherically inept mismanagement of everything from Iraq to the Department of the Interior.

It’s amazing to me that Mitt Romney brings up France as a scary comparison point to himself so often when he spent years there and speaks the language. It’s such a minor point, but telling. Of all the people running for president, Mitt Romney has to be the most aware that the rightwing caricature of ... (0 comments)Mother Teresa Doesn't Deserve Sainthood

Until our country/Obama/Holder/Congress choose to prosecute those responsible for the ILLEGAL TORTURE and WAR CRIMES perpetrated during the Bush administration, many of whom have openly and arrogantly admitted to such Geneva Convention violations (CHENEY), this line of neocon blathering will roll without resistance. For instance, we could say that abusing a child is wrong, and define specifically what child abuse connotes in the law, but unless we prosecute those who abuse children and violate the law, the abusers roll on. Thankfully we prosecute child abusers. When do we hold TORTURERS responsible??? Even Tiger Woods today admitted that privilege and power gave him a sense of entitlement, existing above the laws and norms of good society, and he now sees this as a grave and serious error to be corrected. Cheney? Only arrogant justifications of aggregious illegality and immorality. Makes my skin crawl. Prosecute that criminal and his mob, or our country's reputation will not recover, nor should it.
