Bob Barr The Voice Of Reason?????

"Yes — the not-so-bright, would-be terrorist from Nigeria got though international and domestic security mechanisms supposed to have stopped him long before the jerk lit his underwear afire before landing in Detroit. And yes — the incident happened during the administration of President Barack Obama. But the sniping at the president by Republicans, including former Vice President Cheney, and by conservative radio and TV commentators, borders on — if not passing into — asinine.
The criticism has included such childishness as blasting Obama for waiting a few days before making a national speech on the incident. For heaven’s sake, the president was briefed on the incident from the moment it occured; he made statements almost immediately indicating his concern and that he was being regularly briefed; he took time to gather the facts and meet with his national security team; and then he appeared publicly to give a rational, measured, but hard-hitting response. And for this, a former vice president criticizes him.
Partisanship truly has pervasively infected our political system when a reasonable, measured, factual, timely and substantive response by a president to a single security incident — the roots of which clearly indicate long-simmering problems that predated his tenure in office — is publicly blasted as irresponsible. In point of fact, those levelling such counterproductive attacks are the ones engaging in irresponsible behavior."

This is Bob Barr's post from his blog in the AJC. Bob Barr is about as far Right as they come, when he says Cheney et.al. are being asinine that tells me that the Never-Right are just being assholes.

Bob Barr was one of the ones that pushed the impeachment of Clinton, so he isn't one to cut a Democrat any slack.

Jesse Ventura On Waterboarding And Cheney

Tried for the last couple of days to embed this video from CNN.com with no success. Got this from YouTube.

One of the things I like about Jesse is he isn't afraid to express his opinion. While I don't agree with everything he has to say, I agree with what he has to say on this video. I especially like the line about, "Give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour and I'll have him to confess to the Sharon Tate murders" Does that mean Charlie Manson was framed??

Notice how Larry King tries to keep Jesse from talking about how bad aWol was!! Something tells me Jesse does not care for either aWol or Cheney!!
