#1 I railed against the Bush-Cheney war on the Bill of Rights without blinking.

Sorry, Nat, I don't have any interest in hearing your alien-abduction testimonies ....

I'm asking, after 7 years of asking, just WTF these people are talking about when they spout crap like this. It's one of the most ridiculous, pervasive, unchallenged false claims of the Bush years - and that's saying something, obviously.

Or perhaps I'm just lucky that, almost alone, I have miraculously escaped the evil war on the Bill of Rights. Sheesh.

#2 Verlaine, we heard innumerable times that Bush had "abolished the writ of habeas corpus!" (which always cracked me up because at any given the time federal court system is swamped with habeas petitions from jailhouse laywers.) If that were true, where's the legislation or executive order restoring habeas corpus? Must not be very high on the new administration's agenda.

#3 Ah, the boy who cried wolf when he saw the sheep dogs now meets a REAL wolf.
