arrogance exceeded by incompetence

* there's a new gay rights law in washington state. sweet. republicans are all atwitter because poor downtrodden bible-humpers are no longer allowed to hate people. "The bill would trample religious freedom for those who believe homosexuality is wrong," (link)

* speaking of The Gay: "Maj. Todd Vician, a Defense Department spokesman in Washington, said the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy states that "homosexual orientation alone is not a bar to service, but homosexual conduct is incompatible with military service."
"We define homosexual conduct as homosexual acts or verbal or nonverbal communication that a member is homosexual," Vician said." (link)
non-gay folks looking to get their ass outta iraq had better start polishing up on their non-verbal communication skills.

* the frey/oprah/larryking/redemption thing is so absurd. apparently truthiness is important or something.

* bob herbert picks up the incompetence meme: "This guy is something. Remember his "Top Gun" moment aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln? And his famous taunt — "Bring 'em on" — to the insurgents in Iraq? His breathtaking arrogance is exceeded only by his incompetence. And that's the real problem. That's where you'll find the mind-boggling destructiveness of this regime, in its incompetence... But the plain truth is that he is the worst president in memory, and one of the worst of all time. " (link)

* ""The State of the Union address will be directional for our party and our country, and visionary. That is not code for it lacking substance." (said Nicolle Wallace, the White House communications director)" (link)
lol. is that a pre-emptive strike? karl rove will have her in chains for saying that - deservedly so.
