happy anniversary again, driftglass

* its been a year since driftglass' first post - happy anniversary! (or is it birthday?) - apparently he's thinkin' about a book. woohoo!

* and now some comin-down-with-drifty:

"Wallace: Why do America haters like you wanna tanglefoot the Preznit while he’s killin’ evildoers?

Senator Russ: He broke the law. He can’t do that.

Wallace: Why do you want the terrorists to win? Huh?

Senator Russ: I love this country…especially that Constitution thingie.

Wallace: Is it the Christian babies, jewboy? Huh? Is that it? You just want to see the terrorists come and kill innocent Christian babies?

Senator Russ: What message does it sent to our kids that we let the President just make up whatever law he wants, break whatever law he wants, and the GOP’s solution is to change the rules after the fact?

Wallace: But we won! You Liberals can’t stand that, can you? Huh? Huh? We won, which means we get to do whatever we want, including us the Constitution as ass-floss. Why do you hate America, Feingold?

Senator Russ: He broke the law. He can’t do that.

Wallace: That’s all the time we have. Thanks for joining us. Christ-killer.

Like that.

The Word must have gone out from the Imperial HQ of Jesusland that it was time to tighten up the testicle-cinches that keeps the Republican oxen plowing furrows straight and true towards Armageddon, because in addition to John McCain loaning his mouth out as Mullah Jerry’s bidet, Lindsay Graham was called forth to atone and take a redemptive dip in the Blood of the Fox."

and

"That comparisons to the “ghost of Watergate” are absurd, ‘cause Nixon went after domestic enemies…and Bush is going after furriners.

And a new talking point is born.

Watch for the GOP rebranding Watergate as tawdry, mid-70s, third-rate, 16mm burglary-porn with a scant plot about using enemies lists to kneecap domestic opponents."

and

"McCain now believe that the Christian Right has “a major part to play” in the Republican party.

That the “extremes” of the Right and Left are somehow both magically equidistant from the “Center” where McCain (and Tom Friedman) dwell. That the proper stance of this Fearless Maverick is to cut a puling, cowardly rug down the midline between theocracy and democracy.

Between Creationism and Science.

Between the 11th Century and the 21st.

Between Fear and Freedom.

Between Ignorance and Knowledge.

Between Hate and Hope.

Between Torquemada and Galileo."
