I’d like to comment a moment on C Wilson’s post Honoring Our Heroes by CJW. Specifically,

Or, perhaps Bush thinks all mommies are like his -- they don't want to be bothered with wasting their beautiful minds...
Usually, I don’t bother the spouses and families of political figures. But both the presidential bush women have inserted themselves into the political arena. So for me, they are fair game.
That quote got me to thinking about the barbara bush. The woman has no heart, and I wonder about her mental abilities. No matter how good a mother is, sometimes a kid will grow up to be sociopathic. But when at least three of your children, the boys, georgie, jeb, and neil, grow up to be sociopaths, I think one must look to the parents to find out why.
We already know georgie the elder was so out of touch by 1992, that he didn’t know what a supermarket scanner was. And we know that georgie the younger so addled his brain with alcohol and drugs, that he hears voices, and thinks it’s God talking to him. In Florida, little jebbie is still on his privatization binge, even though they’ve all been failures and a waste of the state’s money. Another boy who has trouble with reality. And then, there’s neilsy. You remember him. He ripped off the taxpayer for millions in the Silverado Savings & Loan debacle. I’ll just mention in passing his Thailand sex romps with 14 year old girls. If three of your kids turn out this way, one might say that both parents are just as dysfunctional.
The War for American Constitutional Democracy

For many years, the radical right has defined anyone who is secular or doesn't believe that a few self-appointed religious fanatics should control the government as enemies of the state. That is the message of Jerry Falwell, Pat Robinson, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Rick Santorum, Bill Frist, Tom DeLay, Karl Rove, Grover Norquist and their "colleagues."
George W. Bush is their front man, a guy who believes that God, instead of Opus Dei fanatic Antonin Scalia, appointed him president in 2000.
Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Condi Rice, John Bolton and their crew of "Dr. Strangelove" Neo-Con "Masters of the Universe" found that the flourishing of a profitable arms industry -- justified by a permanent state of war against anyone possessing a natural resource coveted by the U.S. who is "uncooperative" -- meshed seamlessly with the Armageddon vision of the "Rapture" theology crowd.

How many people has the US killed lately bringing “democracy” to Iraq? Or the Middle East, as the laura bush said yesterday?
My connection went down last night. Which worked for the best, I guess. It gave me a chance to change this post. I was going to talk about frist pulling the trigger today. Things have changed. 14 Senators, 7 from each party reached a compromise last night that avoids that.
Three of bush’s appointments (Brown, Owen, and Pryor) will be going to the Senate for a vote, and the filibuster option stays.
I’m not sure yet how I feel about this. A part of me wishes that the dems had stood eye to eye with the frist, and called his hand. I’m not that certain that the frist and the president bush would have been successful. I also think that the repugs are going to renege when it comes time for another appointment. The president bush has shown no inclination to compromise, and with the chief justice wheeling around town in a wheelchair, I don’t think it’ll be long before we see another weasel toad put up for appointment to the Supreme Court. It may have been better to go ahead and see where the chips fell. It reminds me of a line from a Leonard Cohen song, “learning to shoot at someone who outdrew you.” After the past 5 years, I don’t know why anyone would trust the republicans.
But, on to other things. Sheila Samples has an excellent article at the Dissident Voice.
John Bolton: The Wrong Man

It's no secret that Bolton hates the United Nations, and he would much prefer continuing to run Foggy Bottom from behind the scenes by cuddling up to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as her second-in-command. It's also no secret that Rice wants Bolton out of town and out of her hair. She has spent the months since her own confirmation roaming the universe lecturing world leaders on democracy -- threatening those who have the audacity to think their "internal deliberations" are of sufficient merit to escape her steely gaze and ultimate judgment. In order to rid herself of Bolton, Rice cannot release documents that might derail his appointment. She brushed the document matter aside with a terse statement that amounted to admitting if the public finds out what she, George Bush, and goons like Bolton, his mentor Richard Perle, and his mentor Dick Cheney, have been up to behind the scenes of democracy -- it would have a "chilling effect."

Even though the Foreign Relations committee, voted the nomination out without recommendation, doesn’t mean it won’t pass. Putting bolton’s name up for nomination, the president bush insults both the American people, and the world’s peoples. And the whackos think Newsweek’s article is why the world hates us. These people have a dangerous agenda, and unfortunately, they don’t have a clue about reality. And their delusions have real life consequences for real people.
Besides the article, Sheila gives us a list of the Senators who are up for election in 2006. Those are the people to start putting the spotlight, and the pressure on. If you see your Senator on the list let him/her know you’ve got your eye on them. I already see a bunch that more than my eye is going to be on, if you know what I mean. Bill Frist (TN), Orrin Hatch (UT), Kay Hutchison (TX), Trent Lott (MS), Richard Lugar (IN), Rick Santorum (PA). All of them republicans by the way. Corrupt, craven, anti-American, the lot of them.
