The Last Refuge
New York Times - By Paul Krugman
In 1944, millions of Americans were engaged in desperate battles across
the world. Nonetheless, a normal presidential election was held, and the
opposition didn't pull its punches: Thomas Dewey, the Republican candidate,
campaigned on the theme that Franklin Roosevelt was a "tired old man." As
far as I've been able to ascertain, the Roosevelt administration didn't
accuse Dewey of hurting morale by questioning the president's competence.
After all, democracy — including the right to criticize — was what we were
fighting for.

Kerry Accuses GOP of 'Fake Patriotism' in Flap
Common Dreams - Apr 6, 2003
The Massachusetts lawmaker, in turn, accused GOP leaders Friday of purposely
distorting a tongue-in-cheek remark and vowed "not to be silenced by their
fake-patriotism argument." |
Kerry: Democracy Means He Can Criticize
WCVB-TV, MA
UPDATED: 6:58 a.m. EDT April 8, 2003
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- Presidential candidate John Kerry said Monday that
democracy affords rival Democrats the right to criticize President George
Bush, even with the nation at war. |
|
 Today's cartoon was inspired by the continuing republican attacks on our war
veterans. Senator Kerry is the latest of a long list of republican
smear attempts. At least the GOP doesn't limit criticism to Democrats --
remember Senator John McCain POW's status during Vietnam being attacked by
the George W. Bush supporters. The most despicable attack of all was done to
Max Cleland of Georgia -- the triple amputee Vietnam veteran's patriotism
was attacked. It worked, Cleland lost to chickenhawk Saxby Chambliss
last November. Can anyone name a Democrat who questioned any veteran's
patriotism? I'd like to know.

WASHINGTON - The Washington lawyer helping defend Richard Scrushy is a
former White House insider so prominent he's had to deny he was the mysterious
Watergate scandal source Deep Throat.

Another Bomb Saddam
Song- Calypso beat http://www.snickerplanet.com/
'Bomb Saddam' song makes waves online
LAS VEGAS (AP) — A radio station is making waves again on the Internet (
www.snickerplanet.com )with a tune
mocking Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. The calypso-rhythmed Bomb Saddam Song was
produced by the same Las Vegas radio hosts whose Bin Laden Bomb Song drew
international attention after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. The new
two-minute cartoon has Saddam sunning himself in a desert, when explosions start
and tanks move in while U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell sings, "Hey,
Saddam, your tyranny is done."
QUOTES OF THE DAY
"Tonight again, Baghdad is
without power and this has the Iraqi military very worried. They say without
TV and phone service, how are they going to get the enemy position from
Geraldo?" —Bill Maher |
"The big debate right now is if Saddam is
alive or dead. He's dead, then he's alive, then dead, then alive. It's just
confusing. Today they showed videotape, and Saddam was speaking at his own
funeral." —David Letterman |
"It is dangerous to be right
when the government is wrong." Voltaire |
