Thanks Dick!
:cry:

You really helped us now! Not!

Why the HELL did Durbin apologize. He told the truth! And to think that I wanted him as the Democratic Senate Leader! :eyes:
When do the Republicans apologize for anything? When do DAS Southern Rethugs apologize for opposing the anti-lynching amendment? When does Trent Lott apologize for supporting segregation?

:argh:

It's John Kerry 04' (campaign) all over again.

1. I don't get it.
I SO DO NOT GET IT.

I just left this in another thread - it holds here, too:

But, you know, right now, I just give the hell up. I give up. There's nothing that's ever going to hold for the Democrats, and for whatever reason, this fuck in the White House is always going to get his way.

So, we might as well just all bend over like every goddamned Democrat in the House and Senate, grab our ankles, and learn to love it. Because that's all we're going to get, and now, with this latest apostasy, perhaps that's all we deserve.

I've gone beyond enraged. I just fucking give up.

Right now, I'm just glad we live not very far from the Pentagon and White House. When the Big One hits us, we'll never even know it, but at least it'll take out these ratbastards of this so-called administration. That's worth my dying for.

Pass the popcorn.

6. These guys have insider morans advising them
The Bob Shrums and Donna Braziles of the world that don't know a damn thing about anything except their perceived notion of "how the game is played" in Washington. And how appropriate since they get "played" by the right wing every time. Durbin said nothing that wasn't true. It was twisted into something that it wasn't and (of course) spun into an attack on "the troops". Seems ridiculous that the torturers can make us apologize. Harry Truman wouldn't have apologized. Howard Dean wouldn't either. Not for this. One more news cycle of the dems looking out of the mainstream and weak weak weak. Didn't they learn from the "damage control" these clowns did for Kerry? How about taking advise from someone with vision, who understands history just as well as they understand washington politics and media relations? Durbin should have said "I am sorry.. that you fucks are torturing people" and whipped out a few more Abu Graib photos. You torturers want to debate whether you are fascists or not? Bring it on!

Manufactured distraction. Durbin is a shill.

11. Now it's going to be spun as a complete cave-in.
Hannity, Limpbutt et al are going to strutting and crowing like bantam roosters.
They're going to claim that the whole statement is retracted (FBI agent? What FBI agent?)

CLANG! Another point for the GOP warmachine. Sorry, Democrats, thanks for playing!
