\t\t\t\tI watched three cable news shows today to soak in the circus atmosphere in Florida and wasn’t disappointed. Sean Hannity is broadcasting live from the Schiavo hospice, Joe Scarborough is a megaphone for the American Taliban, and only Hardball has any perspective.<\/p>\n
Pat Buchanan has flip-flopped so hard that he’s even criticizing Hitler for euthanizing retards. This is the guy who said the US had the wrong allies in WW II, doncha know. An extremely angry Christopher Hitchens tore the American Taliban a new asshole in a great display of perspective.<\/p>\n
