Ex-Bushie Calls For The Waaambulances

February 24, 2010

The Reverend does not care for Michael Gerson, former speechwriter for G.W. Bush. I'm sure he's a fine man and all, but, when I read his columns at the Washington Post, or reprinted in the AB Journal (and they reprint them all), he always comes across as a sniveling weenie.

Conservatives are meeting this weekend. It's time again for the annual CPAC (conservative political action committee) convention.
If I'm not mistaken, last year's CPAC convention had Rush Limbaugh as it's keynote speaker.

It is said that even a blind pig stumbles onto the occasional acorn under a tree. Maybe…..however, the unknown author of that line probably couldn't have imagined the likes of the blind American power pigs we would be dealing with in the 21st century.
On December 12th, I blogged about how corporate-whore media propaganda works [...]
