>> Looting the Treasury to pay off their oil constituents. Torture. Tricking the country into going to war in Iraq. Except none of this happened. You can't answer the question. Just admit it. Your statement was off-the-wall, repeating the liberal ABB, BDS talking points, and you were wrong.

Fantasies. You really weren't very rational in that post. Do you really think the oil companies and Cheney schemed to steal money from the Treasury? How much and how? And as for torture, why would the oil companies want to torture anyone? Are they just evil monsters? Ditto for the war in Iraq? Why would they want it? Evil oil barons are your fantasy villain, I recall from past posts. The Nazis believed in an evil Jewish conspiracy, you believe in an evil oil baron conspiracy. One's as rational as the other.

This is the ridiculous stuff that preoccupies Rs, their leaders and pundits these days: BRIT HUME SAID WHAT?.... As regular readers know, I've made no mention of Tiger Woods on this blog. I don't care about golf; I don't care about golfers' private lives; I don't care about any aspect of this "story" at any level. But I was taken aback when I saw that Fox News' Brit Hume, reflecting on Woods' career on the air this morning, talked about whether the golfer may return to his chosen profession. "The extent to which he can recover seems to me depends on his faith," Hume said. "He is said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger is, 'Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world." Hume was not, as the video shows, kidding. It's hard to even know where to start with something like this. How many high-profile Christians have had damaging sex scandals of late? Why is Buddhism deemed inadequate for those with family problems? Why is a senior political analyst for a so-called "news" network proselytizing, on the air, during one of the network's "news" programs? Jamison Foser added, "If this wasn't Fox News, I'd take 'Tomorrow, 2 pm' in the when-will-Hume-apologize pool. But it is Fox, so 'the Fifth of Never' seems like a safer choice." washingtonmonthly.com
