    King Rat

    Fine and timely work, Salon -- but I'm not ready to forgive Joe for the shabby way he and his ilk treated President Clinton. They moved heaven and earth to try to destroy a popular and successful president over a trivial private matter. They then forced an upper class twit on us (despite the fact that Al Gore got more votes), and for the next five years labeled as a traitor anyone who dared question Their Way. The result has been their phony "war on terror", and their failed war in Iraq. Sorry, Joe, but with half of the American public still so deliberately misinformed as to think that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 and that WMD were found in Iraq, and with the so-called republicans already busy gearing up for their next war, We the People (or at least, We the Audience) desperately need to see and hear something more pertinent than the frantic squealing of another right-wing rat jumping ship.

    In any event, "Bush Is an Idiot?" would be better with the question mark removed.
