From Norman Rockwell to Abu Ghraib
To understand how Bush justifies a torture policy that is the bane of our nation, consider the sentimental cowboy art that decks his Oval Office walls.
By Sidney Blumenthal [2007-04-26]

  • Not just Bush...

    I do not think that it is only Bush and his cronies who would identify with these paintings and the sentiments they represent but maybe a majority of Americans. After the 2004 presidential election, it should have dawned on all of us urban/coastline dwellers that there is a vast number of Americans in between the two oceans that feel and believe and behave as Bush does. That is why they voted him into office. That is often the reason why any president wins an election -- because the majority identify with him. That is also why Barack Obama, the best candidate we have, will never be president.

    -- Baloo.
