siestadrive Commented on Gonzo: I'm A Casualty Of The War On Terror by Zachary Roth

If only I believed in an afterlife, because for this statement alone, Gonzales should suffer the eternal fires of damnation: "I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror."

Can someone please send him a link to photos of some of the ACTUAL casualties of the war on terror? And then explain the causal relationship between his choices and their suffering?

Hi Chris- Thanks for the link.

About my link: I hadn't intended to include any link, and have no idea how Barack Obama's name became one. (I'm new to this whole blogging thing, and undoubtedly hit some button I shouldn't have...)

Exactly, CVille Dem: "It is worthy of a thesis, because it is the most absurd spin ever."

Obviously, they're going to try to spin it. We all do when we foul up. Even more so in politics. I get that. But how were they allowed to spin it successfully?

My answer: complete and total abdication of responsibility on the part of a media elite that feared for their continued access.

(I know, I know, I'm as tired as anyone of hearing people blame the media for every known ill, but when it comes to their behavior over the last decade plus, I think it needs to be repeated over and over and over.)

That's kind of a weird hypothetical, anew08. All of the events during the general election remained the same, but the outcome was different? The outcome was of course determined by those events.
