Golly, ya think?

Like him or not, Blago is the sitting governor of Illinois. He has not been convicted of any crime. He has not even been indicted. He is following the letter of the law in appointing a senator to Obama's empty seat. Case closed.

Do you really want 99 senators telling the one black senator he can't be seated. Oh yeah -- that would be great for the Democratic Party, don't you think, Joan?

PS: I find it amusing that those opposing Burris say he's "tainted." After Bill Clinton lied under oath and was impeached, he continued to make appointments with no fuss whatsoever. If anyone was "tainted" it was he. Burris is clean. Sorry you don't like him. But you need to get over it.

You're right, Joe! How could cheating EVER happen in politics!

PS: Shush... Conason still believes in the Easter Bunny.

You know, Joan, the CIA has waterboarded just three people -- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah and Abd al-Rahim al-NashiriJoan. The most notorious of the three -- Khalid Shaikh Mohammed – was the mastermind of the horrific 911 attack that took almost 3,000 innocent American lives. As a result of his waterboarding, he cracked -- and Operation Bojinka was foiled. This cold-blooded terrorist plot would have simultaneously blown 12 commercial airliners out of the sky while flying their routes between Asia and the United States. So I ask you, Joan, how many thousands of lives did that waterboarding save? Was it worth it? If your daughter had been on one of those planes would it have been worth it then?

But alas, in your neat and clean, politically correct little bubble, it’s far more important to be able to say what you've said before -- “Torture is wrong under any circumstances.” And yet, if we were to suffer another horrendous attack, I’m sure you’d be the first to demand to know why our government didn’t connect the dots. Pathetic.

BTW, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed also gave the order to cut Daniel Pearl’s head off. Not to mention the Bali bombing that killed or maimed over 400 people. The man should be executed. Torture is too good for him.

P.S. Thank you, President Bush, for keeping this country safe for the last seven years. I truly hope President Obama can make the hard choices it will take to do the same.

"How the hell do you know he 'cracked' and 'Operation Bojinka' was foiled? You hear that from Rush or O'Reilly? Or was it Jack Bauer?"

Actually, it was from former CIA Director Michael V. Hayden, when he testified on Capital Hill that these three terrorists were waterboarded and "cracked" -- and that we were able to gather valuable intelligence as a result. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed's confession on the Bojinka plot is a matter of record.

So much for creating "my own reality" -- as you say.

You poor, pathetic little boy. Such anger isn't healthy. Will you be moving out of your mother's basement any time soon? Cheers.
