Sam Donaldson: George W. Bush "is not an evil man" - WTF?!? |
|
He just said this on This Week with George Stephanopoulis. This is the same guy who authorized torture and browbeat Congress into approving an illegal invasion of Iraq. Oh yeah, and how's habeas corpus working for you right now?

The only difference between crazy king george and Nixon as that the crazy king doesn't have the courage to deny the truth himself. He gets others to say it.

Donaldson is but a shadow of the courageous reporter he once was.

3. In a way, it's good. They're actually discussing the *topic* of gw being evil... |
|
... Rather than, for example, how "optimistic" he is.

16. That was my reaction, too. The fact that they're acknowledging this |
|
as even a possibility is quite significiant.
Jimmy Carter was unpopular -- but no one anywhere on the political spectrum ever had to say, "Jimmy Carter is not an evil man."

20. It's like that old political joke... |
|
The candidate tells his chief-of-staff that he's going to start spreading the rumor that his opponent not only frequents the local house of ill-repute, but has also been seen fraternizing in a sexual way with barnyard animals.
"But that's not true!" his chief-of-staff says.
"I know it's not," says the candidate. "I just want to watch the sonofabitch DENY it!"
Much the same dynamic is at work here. Maybe ol' Sam is pulling a double-reverse on Emperor Chucklenutz (who, I have on good authority, does NOT really prowl the streets of D.C. at night looking for infants to sacrifice on DICK Cheney's alter under the Observatory in their nightly Blood Feast -- so stop saying that).

4. Is this a Colbert question? |
|
Colbert-b**h: evil or most evil? Donaldson-not evil Colbert-ah, so he's most evil?

5. Sneaky, dishonest, unethical, irresponsible, arrogant, ignorant... |
|
... not necessarily "evil" in the sense of a Dracula or Hitler. So no problem.

9. I can live with 'criminally incompetent' |
|
stubborn, nepotistic, egotistical.
I don't think he's smart enough to qualify as evil. Not in the Lex Luthor sense.
Although his actions have certainly *led* to a whole lot more evil in the world.

13. You don't think it was EVIL to say to a Gold Star mother, "Don't sell this medal on e-Bay"?? |
|
Or nonchalantly say, "Oh, maybe 30,000", when asked years ago how many Iraqi civilians we had killed?
Or IGNORE New Orleans?

21. in his case, no I think it was boorish, ignorant, rude, stupid, |
|
He is the IDIOT SON. I just think it takes more intelligence and ability to function to actually BE evil. He is the supreme MORAN.

He's a stupid fuck, ass-puppet, with Rove and Cheney's hands both up his clown suit. Aaarrrgggg, I hate him sooooo bad. May he over dose on tranquilizers and booze, soon.

28. Yes, you're really expecting prominent journalists to refer to Bush as "evil"? |
|
Even The Nation hasn't gone quite that far. I'm not holding my breath on any media outfits calling him evil.
