does anybody ever associated with this administration have a clue?

Bush "respects liberty so profoundly that he has protected it and has safeguarded civil liberties more than any other president in wartime that I know of,'' Ashcroft said.

Obviously not! To compare the Iraq war to the World Wars is ridiculous. A better comparison would be the conflict in Viet Nam. Since I was a wee sprout through most of that (and non-existent for the earliest years) I don't really recall what sort of liberties were infringed upon, from my history classes, I don't recall that there were near the restrictions during Viet Nam as there were during the World Wars.

I'm wondering whom Ashcroft is using as grounds for comparison. Vlad the Impaler, perhaps?

He hasn't put all the japanese people in internment camps, no one at kent state was shot by national guardsmen. So, George Bush deserves a medal, and at least another three years in office.

Oh, and no one was massacred at little big horn. He gets cookies for that.

Yeah ... but the day is still young.

Has there ever been an administration more out-of-touch with reality than the Bush Administration?
