And the point is....

Well, I saw a bunch of breathlessly gushing emails on the Desicritics email list, here is a sample of reactions - “stunning indictment of American policy after 9/11” - “I got goosebumps after reading this” - “I might start watching TV again” - “It cured my blindness and ED” - “I saw a lame man walk after reading this” - “All Muslims are not terrorists, don’t paint with such a broad brush - it is all Americans that are dumb, ignorant and arrogant”….and so on, I had to find Keith Olbermann’s rant so my readers can feel the awesomeness that was his rant.

Crooks and Liars � Keith Olbermann’s Special Comment on Bush: Who has left this hole in the ground? We have not forgotten, Mr. President. You have. May this country forgive you

Ok, so what was Keith’s point again? He is pissed that there is no memorial built yet? It is somehow Bush’s fault? This gives people goosebumps? Please, please, please tell me that DC is not simply another echo chamber where a bunch of desi elitists can gather around and break their arms patting themselves on the backs while pontificating on the awesomeness that is America-bashing! I knew there was a reason why I don’t post there anymore - it was after all a place where the Muhammad cartoon-bashing was enthusiastically defended, while anything any country remotely resembling a democracy does is automatically condemned (the more democratic and free you are, the more you suck and we will curse you while we live among you), so I guess I don’t need no reinforcements for my beliefs. It is pretty sad, but predictable all the same.
