Rachel Maddow did a terrific segment on her show this evening noting the sixth anniversary of the Iraq War and all the attempts by its instigators to rewrite history. You know, that whole thing about "weapons of mass destruction" was a minor error that anyone could have made…and of course, no one suggested there was any link between Saddam Hussein and the 9/11 attacks…
I'll embed the segment if and when it becomes available. On the other hand, Ms. Maddow made a big deal about the 87 Republican Congressfolks who voted against today's move to tax the AIG bonuses at 90%, interpreting that as the G.O.P. siding with the greedy fat cats. I don't think that's quite fair. For one thing, half of the Republican reps voted for the bill…and some of those who voted against it may have simply felt it was the wrong, probably unconstitutional way to go about nullifying those bonuses.
Okay, I'm gonna go watch Obama on the Leno show…
