This is so perfect---it's kind of emblemmatic of the way George co-opted democratic resistence on so many other issues.
george gets positive press through enabling the documentation of his campaign trails and interactions with the daughter of the leader of the house democrats, nancy pelosi.
I know, I know --- it's not personal! he's "such a nice
man. . ." What message is this? It's that he's really not a partisan guy--oh, he's an old-school, gentleman politician---as well as an old-school republican party discipline-enforcer, an abrogrator of the constitution and bill of rights, AS WELL AS a SEVERE right-wing ideologue, among other things. . .
But he WILL hold your hand while you cry because the other reporters were so mean to you.
Would that he would do the same for the hundreds of thousands of unemployed, slipping fast through the cracks with no net, the thousands to come, both Iraqi and non-Iraqi, who will lose their children to maiming and death in the "shock and awe" about to be delivered in what was once the cradle of civilization.
