For the past few days I have tried to write my thoughts on this situation and I end up erasing a diatribe.  This whole situation disgusts me.  so, I'll just point to a few folks who have been able to write coherently about it.

Brains and Eggs gives us a look at the floundering of the Republican Party regarding the scandal.

Pete shows us what Ben Stein has to say.

Talkleft gives an update here.


Blame it on alcohol.  blame it on being molested as a child.  Blame it on being gay.  (That's the one that really riles me.  Blame it on being gay??)  No, no, no.  Blame it on being a moral wasteland, sir.  You chaired the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children!!  You were tasked with stopping child predators!  What the ever loving fuck??!!

Sorry, I said I wouldn't go off like this.  I'll stop here and let you guys comment as you will.


I just have to add:
The fact that this is the story that will help the Dems oust a few more conservatives from Congress, and not the fact that Congress has given GW the power to decide which parts of the Geneva Convention he feels like following makes me sadder for this country than I have been in a long time.
