God Bless Argentina

From The Guardian, former soccer player Diego Maradona:
"
I'm proud as an Argentine to repudiate the presence of this human trash, George Bush."

Beats the hell out of our celebrity statement of the fall, "Bush don't care 'bout black people." Bush doesn't care about anybody, so shut up with the conspiracy theories. Take notes, Donkey Party, and start flailing those hind legs in the face of the party whose ethical system aligns itself only with that of . . . Anton LaVey is the closest comparison. That's the sort of language you should have been using this time last year.

It's right there in your lap, fellas. From a PIPA survey:
A new poll finds that a majority of Americans reject the idea of using military force to promote democracy. Only 35% favored using military force to overthrow dictators. Less than one in five favored the US threatening to use military force if countries do not institute democratic reforms.
-snip-
Seventy-four percent (including 60% of Republicans) said that the goal of overthrowing Iraq’s authoritarian government and establishing a democracy was not a good enough reason to go to war.
Yeah, that's why Bush et al didn't use that as their reason, but instead chose to spew forth putrid lies from their gaping maws. Way past time for frank speech, as Cornel West would say. This administration is full of liars, criminals, murderous war-mongers and incompetents. The only way they could win another election would be through election fraud . . .
