This week it seems like the wheels came off for a number of the right wing stars. (The wheels have been off for the left-wingers for some time, no news there.) Bill O'Reilly jumped all over Geraldo Rivera about the immigration issue and got has good as he gave from Geraldo, who I'm guessing still has a lot of pent up emotion over that old Al Capone thing. Great theatre and I'm sure it will improve both of their ratings.
The Veep, in talking to Rush Limbaugh, managed to savage just about everyone who has uttered the word Democrat, and still insists that there was a Saddam-Al Qaeda link. He's saying that because we chased Zarqawi out of Afghanistan into Iraq, before we launched Shock and Awe, that proves it. I guess the Defense Department didn't tell him the news that all of the questioning of Saddam yielded a different response.
And of course the right wing chorus keeps trying to crucify Nancy Pelosi for her trip to Syria, even though we've apparently been sending Republicans over there, making Syria look like the hot junket spot for members of Congress lately.
More bad actors in dealing with the release of the British sailors and marines. I'm just asking here, but is anyone really shocked that any of the players in this little play acted the way they did? The captors? The captives? The pundits? The politicians? What a farce. The entire thing could have been scripted from the beginning, but we insist on treating it like every new revelation is some big news.
