In regard to key foreign [...]
What’s stupefying to me is that Mr. Bush failed to understand the symbolism of having a shoe thrown at him in Arab culture, stating (afterward) that the attacker was exercising the equivalent of “1st Amendment Rights” — there in war-torn Iraq… That’s about as realistic an assessment as believing that the “mission was accomplished” after Saddam [...]

Outstanding. In addition to being a self-confessed universalist, Mr. Bush now has come out of the closet and admitted that he has “played” the Christian Right all this time. Nevertheless, God “told him to invade Iraq” and function as a crusader of Western corporate fascism, didn’t you know?

Note: The word “shill” comes from the Yiddish shillaber. The word originally denoted a carnival worker who pretends to be a member of the audience in an attempt to elicit interest in an attraction.
