I just got an email noting that Fox News' Tony Snow had the quote of the day. After a bit of digging, I found that it wasn't Tony Snow but rather Tony Blankley in his Town Hall column.
He is trying to rally support for Bush with a lot of sticky sophism. He clearly needs some time off:
Now the Watergate babies have grown old -- and age has not improved them. They plan to finish their careers as they started them -- in defeatism, betrayal and national dishonor. Oh, that America might see the last of these fish-eyed sacks of loathsome bile and infamy: Unwholesome in their birth; repugnant and stench-forming in their decline.
More soon.
-- Steve Clemons

Tony's getting rather poetic in his last paragraph. Old age, setimentality...? Carrying water for Bush too long? Whatever. He must have drained his brain on that one.
It's just more of that "poor man's poetry" he's so proud of.
Send more troops. Does Tony have any personal stake in more fighting?
Great---a political column that reads like a cross between a poorly-written imitation of a Lovecraft poem and a 16-year-old girl's livejournal entry.
Gee the names he is calling BabyBooner-in-Chief the Beloved Leader. Not to mention Bill Kristol Chief Baby Boome strategist
Strike the word "defeatism" from that quote and you have MY opinon of the current Adminstration and Republican Leaders in Congress. It's PERFECT.
The quote is funny - especially the fish eyes part.
That was unwise of him - take a look at Tony's eyes - Those are not your mothers carbuncles.
This is sadly what is to be expected. These people including many in the White House look through a filtered reality. They simply can't see that roughly 2/3rds of the population are deeply concerned, to them it's a plot by the satanic, traitor Democratic, liberal Illuminati which secretly controls this nation and which can only be defeated by ritual invocations on Limbaugh and elsewhere.
Yes there are Bush haters, but many who are bothered supported the war, a number voted for Bush; but in this view of reality they don't exist.
Nor can there positions be seen, these don't exist:
This is exactly the same sort of edited reality that led to Iraq and other problems. It's the kind of thinking that led these people to attack Democrats who started to call for more troops more than 2 years as underminers of the war and to ignore Republicans who made the same call.
It's Brownie doing a heck of a job.
They literally can't see where the threatening discontent is coming from. They believe that if they repeat the charges of treason that they've been spewing for years they will win. Even the president seems to have bought in this time.
All reality is percieved as a partisan battle between 2 extremes. It's scary.
Can you imagine Tony camping, much less fighting in a war?
Nothing personal - he seems like a nice guy and he is very funny and erudite, but .....
I expect more from the di Maestra of the cul-de-sacs.
Earth to Tony--- Get over your sorry self. You have dire case of pomposity, nothing a colonic wouldn't cure.
And while good ol' Tony veers from his usual pompous self towards the rather inharmonious shrillness of a crack-up, Bill O'Reilly has been pulling a let's-take-ten-stories-off-the-UN John Bolton on us.
No doubt, the wheels are coming off what I prefer to call the death train...
Tony has got to stop his sporadic reading of Tacitius for inspiration.
He keeps mixing it up with with his nightly bedtime reading of The Pokey Puppy.
(They caught the puppy in the end, too....)
Flagrante delicto from one more kiss-up flutist...
It's obvious that last buffet gave him a lot of gas.
Sounds to me like an excerpt from an H.P. Lovecraft story.
