(82,849 posts)Some of us still recall when Mr. Matthews' pleated skirt and pom-poms didn't smell of mothballs, and he still has a wee drop of atonement to imbibe.

(21,925 posts)along with Amy Goodman. I know that he started licking the Chimp's butthole after the war began and when things started looking like Iraq would stabilize, for which I fart in his general direction.

Oppose this war because it will create a millennium of hatred and the suicidal terrorism that comes with it. You talk about Bush trying to avenge his father. What about the tens of millions of Arab sons who will want to finish a fight we start next spring in Baghdad?
Well, that's it for now. You know where I stand. ..."
