Russ Feingold (whom I just watched on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart,) makes having integrity, courage and conviction look effortless. Too bad there aren't more of him in the United States Senate. Update: here's the video clip. here's a clip-clip (ht CrooksandLiars):
Feingold: I was taught that the congress makes the laws and the president is supposed to sign them and enforce them. He's not supposed to make them up.---How many times are we going to let George Bush and Dick Cheney say you guys don't support the troops, you're not patriotic and let them push us around? ...And here's the GOP's overwrought response to Feingold.
...why aren't right wing bloggers, who have been so enamored of the Danish cartoons, up in arms and demanding that every media outlet rebroadcast the South Park "Bloody Mary" episode being apologized for by broadcasters everywhere? Isn't it supposed to be bloody surrender (no pun intended) to give in to religious extremism by censoring artistic expression? Hm??? Or is it just that the Catholics managed to squash the episode (as did the Scientologists in the case of "Trapped in a Closet") without rioting?
BTW, did the South Park creators triumph or sell out by defying all the speculation by killing of Chef after turning him into a pedophile...?
Are biased, unquestioning advocates for the president (hello, Powerline!) really the right people to call out press bias?
Good news: one of the fighting Dems has won her primary (go Chicago!)
