Y'all are so mean to him. He's a multi-star general! A superstar general in my mind! A rock-star. Saying all those mean things to him is making me cry again!

Laura! Barney! Whaaaaaaaaaaa!

I am getting physically ill listening to this hypocritical piece of SHIT speaking to this esteemed organization. I don't have a long editorial about it - I know you all have similar feeling as I.

I don't have the means or expertise, but will someone transpose his bullshit speechwriter's words about slavery and civil rights and equality and opportunity with shots of residents of New Orleans dead in the streets and stranded on their roofs? That might make a decent political spot to run on the eve of the '06 elections...

It gets worse by the day... we must make it stop!

I guess I'm what's known as a lurker. I have been reading Daily Kos daily since well before the '04 election, and have posted a few comments and no diaries, until today.

This site has truly helped get me through this painful and turbulent time in our nation's history, and for that, I would like to thank Markos, Armando, and EVERY SINGLE KOSSACK who has contributed their intelligent and insightful thoughts to this site. I have learned so much here - much more than I could ever learn from angrily reading the NY Times or watching the crappy nightly network newscasts.

With the (hopefully) forthcoming indictments of some of the criminal element currently running our country into the ground, I am - for the first time in many years - optimistic. And much of my optimism comes from reading the thoughtful comments of like-minded people like you.
