If there is a 'R' after their name, they are a hypocrite.


Oh, (sob) it's my (sob) legacy. The world (sob) thinks I (sob) I'm a (sob) war monger.

Bush has admitted to that his gun-slinging rhetoric made the world believe that he was a 'guy really anxious for war' in Iraq. He said that his aim now was to leave his successor a legacy of international diplomacy for tackling Iran.

Bush expressed regret at the bitter divisions over the war and said that he was troubled about how his country had been misunderstood. “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, a different rhetoric.”

No, Mr. George Walker Bush, the world didn't misunderstand you, your policies nor you intent. Mr. "bring it on" doesn't mention his regret of invading another country for it's oil either.

How does venal, self-entitled, idiot sound? Curt was simply representative of the Republican/American business model for behavior.

If it enriches me, it's good! If it frustrates the slightest of my most selfish, unemcumbered by the thought process, puerile whims, DESTROY IT! Gilded Age thinking at its finest.

The "founding fathers" must be whirling in their graves like dynamos. "A republic, if you can keep it" indeed!

And the hate speech goes on:

The Obamas' affectionate "fist bump" is no "terrorist fist jab"

Fox News' America's Pulse, host E.D. Hill teased an upcoming discussion on a gesture Sen. Barack Obama shared with his wife, Michelle, saying, "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? The gesture everyone seems to interpret differently."

A "terrorist fist jab"? Seriously?


I bet O'Lielly isn't happy about this development:

"Countdown with Keith Olbermann" beat Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" in the key Adults 25-54 demographic for the first time ever last week.

"Countdown" averaged 477,000 viewers (A25-54) vs. O'Reilly's 472,000 (excluding Tuesday's primary coverage). This marks the first time that MSNBC has beaten Fox News in O'Reilly's 8pm time slot since June 2001.

He's more likely a "traitor" or a "criminal" than merely a "hypocrite"---that goes without saying for a Repub.

The Repub party must be smashed into oblivion or there is simply no hope for this country. It's really that simple. They are not working for the greater good and hardly even claim to be.

And after smashing this criminal party, its leaders should be forced to defend their crimes in court. We cannot survive as a vital nation unless the criminal Repubs are exposed.

Wasn't June of 01 when NCLB was passed? Took a long time for someone to best that entertainer on Fox, and just barely at that.

Ditto what euzoius said.
