E.J. Dionne: Having Dished It Out

[kskiska]

Isn't the hatred shown our president just awful, especially when we face such serious challenges to our national security?

One major politician called the administration's policies an "abject national embarrassment."

A former national security official said the president "has squandered American credibility and undermined our preeminence around the world." Another highly respected foreign policy expert said the administration "has not been able to distinguish between professorial concepts and foreign policy."

A key House leader insisted that "the president does not have the divine right of a king." He accused the administration of providing the public with "the spin, the whole spin, and nothing but the spin."

4. I heard Brooks make those comments of the Lehrer Show, Friday! I had to be

restrained from throwing the spaghetti pot through the television screen! (I was cooking dinner and it ruined my whole night).

This is good what Dionne has written. If we can start fighting back like this.....we have a chance of winning over people who are disgusted with the hypocracy of these right wingers.
