Airline workers...
[Read the article: At her majesty's pleasure]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The response of the airline workers who feel that he got what he deserved is laughable. I have never encountered as many incompetent, rude, lazy jerks in one place as you can find in any US airport. If 2 months in prison is acceptable to them for bad behavior by paying customers, how about 6 months for bad behavior by airline & TSA workers who are being paid.
God, yes welcome to bush league America.

shrub invaded a sovereign country causing ethnic cleansing, mass movement of refugees and the slaughter of innocent civilians. i guess we await the world's conclusion...

The real idiots...
[Read the article: Quote of the day]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]as pointed out by had_enough are the reporters who fall for this drivel and never ask pertinent follow up questions. my 11 year old could come up with any number of responses had i said something that dumb in answer to one of his questions.

Liars or Fools
[Read the article: "A null set"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]after 12 years of sanctions and massive monument building where was the money coming from to develope these WMD's? i'm certainly no mid-east expert, but i knew there was no way, it couldn't be done. this was borne out immediately when saddam's "elite" troops were seen carrying 30 year old weapons and gym bags to make the quick switch from soldier to civilian.
any of these candidates who say "we couldn't know" are liars or fools and unfit to serve as dogcatchers.

Is it too much to ask...
[Read the article: America without makeup]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...for the Times" Jim Rutenberg to raise an eyebrow when Evans tells a big Texas whopper? Jim Rutenberg is nothing but a Bush ass kisser, maybe the worst journalist in the country when you consider his level of access and what he does with it.
Almost makes me yearn for Elisabeth Bumiller...

Joe Lieberman
[Read the article: Various items]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I sure do feel for the good folks from the nutmeg state, having such an embarrassing asshole represent you in the US Senate. Someone should start recall efforts immediately, before he decides to bomb Rhode Island.

Right wing humor...
[Read the article: Bashing Elizabeth Edwards]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...is non existant for exactly the reason Garry Owen points out, they are to small minded, and I would add ego-centric to be able to tell a joke. Remember Earl Butz? His attempt at humor could only make fun of a group of people.
Can you imagine Ann Coulter telling a joke?

This is not suprising...
[Read the article: Senate panel votes to strip $4.8 million from Cheney's office]

[Read the article: His stethoscope is loaded]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Right? Our response to any threat is so lame it is a wonder nothing more has happened. I guess we should all just be glad that Richard Reid used his shoe...

run out the clock
[Read the article: Bush and Cheney's tortured secrecy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]that is the agenda...it's pretty obvious that the bases are meant to be permanent and the details can be be worked out later.
"it's hard work" is the mantra of this administration, yet few even grasp the concept.
dubya ain't never had a real job....

[Read the article: The Weekly Standard's "9/11 Generation"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...reading through this thread, got very little work done, and feel a better person for it. To all, even the trolls, a spendid exchange.

Trolls
[Read the article: Who are you, Anonymous?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Many posters have indicated that removing anonymous would limit trolls acess to Salon. Why would you want to do that? Do we all have to think alike? This would be very different forum without them, so come on in, even if you must post "anonymously".

Nickel, Dime, Quarter
[Read the article: Requiem for a poker game]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I've played this dealer calls game bi-weekely with the same bunch since 1980-yeah we are old, so what?- and none of us would watch someone else play. Which isn't to say the old days are gone oh woe, but that like many other things, poker can be enjoyed in many different, if not necessarily mass appealing, ways.
So, play on-line or watch on the tube...or cook up a mess of chili, pop a few beers, tell a few lies...

No Hero Resides Here
[Read the article: Will the real Colin Powell stand up?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Long before Powell assummed the role of Stepin' Fetchit with a Power Point presentation, he sold his soul to the US Army during the My Lai (supposed) investigation. Then took part in Iran Contra...don't hold your breath for any honorable behavior at this point, it ain't there to give.
Can we watch him squirm at the War Crimes trial?

elephantman redux
[Read the article: The poisonous rhetorical legacy of Karl Rove]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]you object to the "nasty invective" hurled by "salonistas" at poor karl. let me point out that none of this is just to pick on turdblossom. his brand of politics, from using totally unqualified political appointees in key government positions, using the justice department as a political tool, starting a war to win an election to lying to congress has been disastrous at best.
if you are from the same neck of the woods as mr. cole (and myself), I should think simply the level of incompetence rove has brought to washington would open your eyes.
