Josh Marshall has a great take on the neocons....this is funny!
Edited on Tue May-04-04 12:35 AM by section321
In his latest post discussing the new Salon article on Ahmed Chalabi, Josh Marshall lays out this masterful take on the neocons after being taken by Chalabi...

"...In the popular political imagination we're familiar with the neocons as conniving militarists, masters of intrigue and cabals, graspers for the oil supplies of the world, and all the rest. But here we have them in what I suspect is the truest light: as college kid rubes who head out for a weekend in Vegas, get scammed out of their money by a two-bit hustler on the first night and then get played for fools by a couple hookers who leave them naked and handcuffed to their hotel beds.

And just think, it's on your dime and with your nation's honor -- what an added benefit. "


It takes a gifted writer to be hilarious, thought provoking, and tragic all at the same time.

Thanks Josh!

2. Ain't that the truth.
Every day the realization is dawning on more and more American people that this administration and the neo-con braintrust behind it, couldn't collectively think their way out of a paperbag.

We should have gotten a clue after Reagan/Bush and the 180 degree turnaround under Clinton. But I guess we are a little slow on the uptake.
