Coming Together. Not.
by tristero
My cynicism about Republicans runs so deep that it really borders on paranoia, my friends said when I claimed, several weeks after the 9/11 attacks, that if Gore had been in the White House, he would have been impeached and forced to resign.
“No!” My friends said, “that’s crazy talk.” Of course the country would have come together around whomever was president in the face of an attack on our shores. Republicans, too, would have rallied around Gore for sure.
Adding: As I’ve mentioned before, I was astounded then, and remain astounded, that Bush wasn’t forced to resign within hours of 9/11. So it makes sense to talk about the level of responsibility Obama and his administration should take for this recent incident. But I’ll be goddammed if I’ll do so as long as Michael Huckabee’s greasy, corrupt, opportunistic thumb is a’tippin’ the scales.
