"Well . . . you know, if you find a person that you've never seen before getting in a crop duster that doesn't belong to them, report it. If you see suspicious people lurking around petrochemical plants, report it."
George W. Bush, October 13, 2001, commenting on reports that terrorists might be planning to use the Crop Dusters of Doom strategy to commit murder and mayhem at a farm or refinery near you.
And yet, this complete imbecile is still a hero to about 30 percent of the population, and somber-looking news readers still manage to keep from laughing out loud as they report this stuff. And worst of all from my perspective, the Democratic Congressional majority still seems to be afraid of him, or at least has respect for him. How can this be? How is it possible to sit across the table from this delusional fool and act as if you're negotiating with a normally functional human being?
And Kucinich is ridiculed or ignored by his own party because, at long last, he wants to demonstrate to all the world that, in fact, the vice-emperor has no clothes. I really don't get it.
