Why I was cheering for Lamont

Thursday, 10 August 2006

btw, I'd like to confirm that I was rooting for Lamont over Lieberman not because of the latter's support for a war which has killed tens of thousands of innocents at a cost of hundreds of billions with the net effect of making us less safe while destroying our international reputation and destabilizing the entire mideast.

I mean, who in their right mind could oppose that?

No, precisely as the White House wants you to think, I was rooting against Lieberman only because I have a suicidal wish to die at the hands of fanatics, whose cause I may even secretly sympathize with, despite any liberal's deep antipathy toward fundmentalism of every stripe.

In fact, 60% of the American people now have no interest in our security and are willing, nay, eager to die at the hands of terrorists.

So once again, the White House is making perfect sense.
