Flamboyantly masquerading as defenders of America

glenn greenwald, writing in his blog, unclaimed territory, shares some thoughts on senator russ feingold's intent to introduce a measure to censure president bush... it's well worth the read but this short paragraph says it all...

Of all the dishonest and corrupt steps taken by this Administration, the worst, in my view, is that they have flamboyantly masqueraded as defenders of America while they have simultaneously sought to dismantle every political attribute and core principle that has defined who we are as a country for the last 225 years.

and they would be doing this because...? because they have no intention of giving up the power they've accrued... none... the country we thought we lived in has, for all practical purposes, ceased to exist... joe over at americablog was marveling this morning that "your president is clueless and ever so stubborn in the face of huge disasters he has both precipitated and overseen..."

[S]enior staff members insist that Mr. Bush is in good spirits, that calls from his party to inject new blood into the White House make him ever more stubborn to keep the old, and that he has become so inured to outside criticism that he increasingly tunes it out. There is no sense of crisis, they say, even over rebellious Republicans in Congress, because the White House has been in almost constant crisis since Sept. 11, 2001, and Mr. Bush has never had much regard for Congress anyway.

what's he got to worry about...? seriously... he presides over a government of unprecedented power, not only in the u.s. but in the history of the world... do you really think they're going to go quietly into that good night...? i don't think so...
