I don't often blog about bloggers

but i'm going to make an exception with a front-page post by markos today...
Remember all the Chicken Littles that said Rove would steal the election? Gilliard gives them a smackdown. Same goes for everyone who was SOOOO convinced Bush would bomb Iran before the election.

i resent that... deeply resent it... i, for one, am damn sick and tired of all the noises and implications that, now that the dems have won congress, we've somehow gained a reprieve, and that those who have been continuing to sound the alarms are "chicken littles..."

i think there was every effort made to steal the elections, and it would have succeeded had it not been for the unexpectedly large turnout of disillusioned voters... yes, many of those voters turned out BECAUSE of dogged work by dems on the ground all over the country, and that's very good news indeed... BUT, goddamit, rove is STILL a very dangerous man...

i also think that bush would have absolutely bombed iran some time ago had it not been for the dogged work of bloggers and other outraged citizens who were not going to be duped again like we were on iraq... even now, bush would order bombers into iran in a heartbeat if he thought there was any way he could pull it off without the joint chiefs of staff collectively tendering their resignations... in fact, the joint chiefs are the principal reason rumsfeld is gone...

when i read someone i respect as much as i do glenn greenwald, who says the kind of things that he is saying (see previous post), i know i am not crazy... we don't have our country back, markos moulitsas zuniga... not yet... not as long as bush is president and cheney is vice president... not as long as karl rove and david addington are still in the white house...
