Thank you for growing a spine!

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) has apparently redeemed herself somewhat after her hilariously sad interview with Anderson Cooper a few days ago. She has actually called Bush to task for using a tragedy as a photo op.


Right now I'm watching Silver City, a very good political mystery, comedy about a fictitious candidate, Dickie Pilager. But don't be fooled, it's about George Bush. From the political handler modeled after Karl Rove to the speaking affectations that are a spitting image of W, this is a Bush indictment. In a case of life imitating art imitating life, the movie begins with a hastily staged photo op on a lake front that begins the slow unraveling of a candidate.

I'm also watching The Fog of War, a documentary about Robert S. McNamara. I'll give a review of it and a more in-depth review of Silver City at a later time. But suffice to say, both are very relevant about today's political climate.
