My favorite comment from the Post article...
“Jesus Christ, a REPUBLICAN denouncing ‘mob rule’? How ridiculous is that? You scumbags used mob rule to get elected ...”
Darn those mobs voting in elections!
“... to get us into Iraq ...”
I seem to remember the street mobs were anti-war, not pro-war.
“... pass the Patriot act ...”
The Democrat caucus in the Senate voted to pass the original Patriot Act by a margin of 48-1. The Democrat caucus in the House voted to pass the Patriot Act by a margin of 145-62. In 2006, none other than Barack Obama voted to renew the Patriot Act.
“... and legalize torture.”
Yes, George Bush and Snidely Whiplash gleefully concocted the legalization of torture over big cigars while twirling their dastardly mustachios and adjusting their monacles, sipping vintage brandy made from the blood of minority babies. (I heard they even cackled maniacally while doing so.)
Sheesh.
Look, this may be A+ quality commentary on campus, but really, is not the vaunted Washinton Post’s readership supposed to consist of actual adults?

Unless I'm mistaken the Patriot Act was written during the Clinton administration by Clintonoids.
