Bush's legacy is that of a man who crafted American foreign policy entirely out of the idea that the unilateral application of violence to the world is the only way to grow American influence and security.
Any diplomatic effort that involves Dick Cheney will result in one thing and one thing only: more violence, more failure, more death.
In his press "availability," Cheney let it be known that there are rules he sets that the press must follow. In other words, he believes in freedom of the press, so long as they do what he says.
This weekend, HBO's Real Time was the venue for a scam being run coast-to-coast by the grand master grifter of American Politics: Flim Flam Frank, who runs this scam under the name "Frank Luntz."
I find myself at odds with much of what I have seen on the blogs in the past 24 hours--those pieces that argue Dems in Congress have "collapsed" or become "weak" by putting forward a bill without a "timetable."
