Mussolini's Twin

I thought this was particularly amusing: "[Mussolini] was sort of a buffoon in that sense; he was constantly changing his definitions of fascism and talking out of one side of the mouth, then out of the other side of his mouth." And this: "I think the problem is you get into one of these sort of overly doctrinal, "let's go to the text" approaches where words get confused for things." No kidding. What a ragged attempt to shift the focus from the Bush Administration's murderousness, utter immorality and impeachable illegality. It's clear even to Goldberg who the fascists among truly are. Too bad he penned this stuff instead of just admitting it.
