"Lord, thank you for me..."
-I think he's talking about Aries-
Bush to the Republican Governors Association. Subject: Iraq:
I believe 50 years from now, people will look back at this period of time, and say, thank God the United States of America did not lose its faith in the transformative power of liberty to bring the peace we want for our children and our grandchildren.
This joins things that other dumbass presidents think we should thank their dumbass gods for.
I'm not for women, frankly, in any job. I don't want any of them around. Thank God we don't have any in the Cabinet. -- Richard Nixon
Thank God we don't have to put up with this idiot for another term. (Think Progress)
-Headline of the day-
"Beck: 'Rick Santorum Is A Winston Churchill'."
Glenn Beck continues to be a freakin' idiot in an NPR interview. He also called former GOP Senator Santorum -- who got his ass handed to him in '06 -- a "rising star" in the conservative movement. I'd try to explain the difference between occident and orient for Glenn, but there's no way he could possibly understand it. So let me put it simply:
"Rising" means coming up, Glenn -- Santorum's sunk below the horizon. (Think Progress)
-Why Molly Ivins called him "Good Hair"-
Texas Governor Rick Perry proves that he's more hair than brains. In a discussion about the Boy Scouts and gays, Rick dropped this bombshell, explaining why gays won't teach kids to be good Boy Scouts:
"The argument that gets made is that homosexuality is about sex."
When the suggestion is made that this might be a little simplistic, he answers, "Well, then why don’t they call it something else?"
Brilliant! I guess heterosexuality is about sex, too -- otherwise, they'd call it something else. From now on, only the celibate should be allowed to be Scout Leaders, since celibacy's not about sex.
Worked out great for the Catholic Church, after all... (NYT)
