1. Good stuff - thanks
You may want to clip a couple paragraphs so people can get a gist of it

2. That's true... I guess some people don't do links..
Parts of it...

< snip >

.."Rove is the most vile, despicable, duplicitous, power-addicted, war-mongering, lying neo-fascist in the administration, save Dick Cheney and the man who lets them run the government for him.

Rove's cynicism is a perfect reflection of Bush's jaded mind and willingness to say and do anything to grab and preserve power. If that means sending young men and women to die in an illegal, unnecessary war against the wrong enemy, Rove figures, so what?

His only political dimension dwells on hate, distrust and division, and using those raw emotions to manipulate and control the masses."

< snip >

Rove used the war to sell Bush as a determined and courageous leader protecting our freedom at home and planting it in Iraq. What we have instead is unending violence and turmoil and a schoolyard for terrorists who flock to Iraq "to learn how to carry out assassinations, kidnapping, car bombings and other kinds of attacks," as the Times reports.

< snip >

4. Let's see if this guy has any spine....
Or if he'll just drop it in favor of money, like a "propagandaist"...

6. Bullseye!
"..."Editor and Publisher's" Greg Mitchell has a trenchant read on the vice president's behavior. "Is it just me, or is Vice President Cheney, who repeated Thursday that the Iraq insurgency is in its final throes, starting to sound liked former Saddam spokesman, 'Baghdad Bob'? Is it time to start calling him 'D.C. Dick'? ..."

D.C. Dick, it is for me, from now on. The fun part will be explaining what it means.

8. Great rant!
A REAL Peabody Award or an O'Reilly Peabody Award? Serious question.
