Sure...because if you don't like an article on a site that takes a particular editorial and stylistic approach to the commentary it provides, it's certainly reasonable and not at all juvenile or temper-tantrumy to demand that they change that style to suit your taste.

He seems to forget that foreign policy is NOT Congress's business. But they forget that many things are not their business, like my vag.

And yet, there you were, wading through it.

Upvote for use of the awesome word 'quisling,' which I had to look up. :D

Frankly, I missed it.

It's the classic conservative mindset--"There's only a finite amount, and I want the most I can get for me and mine, fuck you if you don't get anything, world without end until we're raptured, amen."

He tries to be affinage to his fellow wingnuts but ends up stepping in the limberger.

Geez, I hope so. Since I kicked in a few bucks to recall Walker a few years back, WIS DEMs have been sending me emails for campaign donations for every Tom, Dick and Harry they have running. Hopefully Russ won't need any of mine spare change against this tool.

Most people think Walker is the worst politician Wisconsin elected recently. Walker can do more damage, true, but this watery-eyed self-promoting motherfucker is by far the worst. Had all his money handed to him by his father-in-law, tried to get statute of limitations enacted so molesting priests could not be charged, and has done precisely nothing but spout on Fox or other conservative outlets since elected. Russ Feingold is coming to take care of him... And a state that just elected a lesbian senator will certainly see this puke to the door this time.

I'd wear a bag over my head too if I were you.

Of course he was trying to confuse the issue - that is not in dispute. :-) I'm just saying that, in confusing the issue, he managed to do so in a way that was technically correct, while still being useless. :-)

but of course. and I don't think he got even that completely right. he's famous, we all know his name, but for what? we're not talking about his prowess at governance, his savoir faire, the elegance of his speech. no. we're talking about his apparent willingness to be a bald faced traitor. as if we didn't have enough trouble already, all he's ever done is to pile on more. that's NOT his job.how did he ever get elected? oh, yeah........

I dunno. Seems to me a lot of people have made careers out of not knowing shit about Iran.
