Shameless

Given the choice, last night, between jamming with some jazz men or listening to the president offer his latest rationale for why we're in Iraq, your blogstress chose the jam. Which doesn't mean she has nothing to say about the president's speech, if only to remark on the utter shamelessness of the man. While president spun out his latest half-truths about why Americans are dying in the fertile crescent, he was no less craven in his exploitation of 9-11 than was Karl Rove in his slander against Democrats last week.

Yo, prez, the reason we're fighting terrorists in Iraq is because you virtually invited them there. But you know that.

One can only hope that the American people will show themselves to be something better than than the dolts their president apparently thinks them to be.
