Where did you get that hat? That isn't foil, it's 1/2" plate stock.

Wonderful response. Really showed DeCoster wrong didn't you

Literary critique would be wasted on this tripe. Go post it over at DU where someone will appreciate it other than you.

What de Coster did was what cheap lawyers do. By rewriting Bush's words, she put words in his mouth that he did not say, words chosen to have some rhetorical repugnance to her audience, and then she beats us over the head with them.

We do find the words repugnant - all of them - and the author repugnant as well. Those who repeat them are slanderers in 1/2" aluminum plate body suits.

If she wants to write an article about how Bush has taken actions to increase the size of the government at the expense of civil liberties, she should do so. But she has to argue from Bush's words as he spoke them, or the government actions that have followed- not some twisted things she dreamed up in her own head.

She did get one thing correct. I hope this piece of schmaltzy pap induces the expected emotions from those of you that hear it. It did.
