Because We’re So Good, Part XXIV

Last week I mentioned the insane James Inhofe’s drooling rant on the Chris Matthews show. Today, he showed the whole world that the President of the United States is not the only powerful American politician who has a brain the size of a walnut:

Sen. Inhofe (R-OK): First of all, I regret I wasn’t here on Friday. I was unable to be here. But maybe it’s better that I wasn’t because as I watch this outrage that everyone seems to have about the treatment of these prisoners I have to say and I’m probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment.

The idea that these prisoners, they’re not there for traffic violations. If they’re in cell block 1A or 1B, these prisoners, they’re murderers, they’re terrorists, they’re insurgents, and many of them probably have American blood probably on their hands and here we’re so concerned about the treatment of those individuals.

John McCain walked out of the room when Inhofe put on his little show. According to CNN, asked if he agreed with Inhofe’s statement McCain said “No way.”

FoxNews however is celebrating Inhofe’s statement of “outrage at the outrage.” The “journalist” Asman, is now screaming at Laurence Korb telling him that his own son guarded “very bad people” who were trying to kill Americans.

Keep it up boys. I don’t think it’s likely that more than 40% of Americans — tops — are sadistic scumbags like the very religious Inhofe and the fair and balanced Asman. And even a large number of them don’t like to think of themselves that way.

Over on CNN, Blitzer just announced that Inhofe will be his guest today. He’s a new GOP Super Star. Gosh, except for the whole fomenting of rage against Americans all around the planet and making the prospect of Americans being taken captive an invitation to torture thing, I’d say it was a good day.

On the other hand, I’m not looking forward to spending the rest of my life and watching every other American spend the rest of his or her life paying the price for Mr Inhofe’s macho posturing. He has the right to free speech, for sure. But, maybe John McCain should give him a little taste of what it’s like to be a “guilty” POW.
