All you need to know about the geniuses behind the Iraq War is in this incident: Barber writes an email about "softball" interviews in order to warn someone about the dangers of writing emails about "softball" interviews.

One note: The letter from from Jefferson to Adams is referring to the virgin birth as a "fable," NOT Immaculate Conception, i.e., the birth of Mary without original sin (which wasn't officially established by the R.C. Church until 30 years after this letter was written). This is a mistake that you also make on beliefnet.

Oh, don't sell us so short. Isn't it possible that we're all both capitalist tyrants AND white supremacists?

If Beck doesn't "notice that he is black" why is he having this conversation? Until pundits start talking about Clinton or Biden as "colorless" then Obama is being treated differently because he is black.

And don't ignore the beautiful symmetry of Rohrabacher's argument: since they are illegal immigrants, we can arrest them all and turn them into prisoner labor. For prisoners arbeit macht frei, and for employers arbeit ist frei. Everybody wins!

I think Chavannes misses the point of what Letterman did. It is very similar to what happened ten years ago (yikes) when he had Rush Limbaugh on. After letting Limbaugh talk for a while, Letterman says, "Don't you ever feel that you're just full of hot air?" Only after the huge reaction from the audience did Letterman add, "I know I feel that way all the time."
This is the genius of Letterman. He takes the disarming attitude that "we're both idiots who have no idea what we're talking about" leaving unsaid the obvious point that for Letterman being an idiot is part of his entertaining persona while for Limbaugh or O'Reilly it is an embarassing truth. The moment that the O'Reilly and Letterman are even compared, Letterman has already won.
