Quoted from Molly Ivins in the Star Telegram:


"According to a poll conducted by The New York Times and CBS, 42 percent of Americans believe that Saddam Hussein of Iraq was personally responsible for the attacks on the World Trade Center, something that has never even been claimed by the Bush administration.

According to a poll conducted by ABC, 55 percent believe that Saddam gives direct support to al Qaeda, a claim that has been made by the administration but for which no evidence has ever been presented. President Bush has lately modified the claim to "al Qaeda-type" organizations.

This is how well journalism has done its job in the months leading up to this war. A disgraceful performance.

Ambrose Bierce, the 19th-century cynic, once observed that war is God's way of teaching Americans geography. Going to war with the people in such a state, not of ignorance but of misinformation, is truly terrifying."

It would behoove us to remember this quote when we listen and watch such advertising outlets as Fox News Channel, Rush Limbaugh and other un-American representatives of big money, like that old Shock Jock Nazi lying weasel, Don Imus. We must care enough about our dear country and even those dumb sum' bitches who are too lazy, or scared, to raise their voice in the defense of liberty. We must, by all legal means, work for regime change in Washington. Our White House is occupied by an appointed political hack who cares not for anyone other than himself and like most dry-drunks, he is susceptible to preachers who tell him his God has plans for him.
