Internal Monologue

Digby wonders : I can hardly believe that this isn't either a national joke or a scandal. The Attorney General of the United States should not have rehearse for five hours a day to truthfully answer questions from the US congress. It's ludicrous. Just how stupid is this guy, anyway?

Remember when I posted about how no one wanted the job of Bush's "War Czar"? It looks like Stephen Colbert has found a perfect candidate for the job...

...according to the Westboro Baptist Church (proprieters of various hate websites to which I decline to link). "God Hates the World" sung to the tune of the 80's famine relief hit " We are the World " is something Internal Monologue could hardly pass up.

But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course." Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned Titanic . I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out! You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore. The Pre

...an invitation to Cheney from Bringham Young University triggers student protests (yes, that's the Latter Day Saints school). When Republicans are being protested in Utah, you know something is afoot. (HT: Sullivan )
