Freedom Fries No Longer Taste So Good

The regrets this week of Walter Jones, the man who named "Freedom Fries", is particularly telling for the future of the Bush Administration. It's one more weight on the scale tilting ever downwards for George and company.

Asked by a reporter for the North Carolina News and Observer about the name-change campaign - an idea Mr Jones said at the time came to him by a combination of God's hand and a constituent's request - he replied: "I wish it had never happened."

Although he voted for the war, he has since become one of its most vociferous opponents on Capitol Hill, where the hallway outside his office is lined with photographs of the "faces of the fallen".

"If we were given misinformation intentionally by people in this administration, to commit the authority to send boys, and in some instances girls, to go into Iraq, that is wrong," he told the newspaper. "Congress must be told the truth."

The consistant denials to reality by Scotty and other about the abuses published by Amnesty Int'l are sounding hollow and almost comical if it wasn't all so damn un-funny. How long can they hold their heads up on the way to work each day. I'm not the first to postulate that Scotty will be on his way soon. I think it all is weighing heavy on his shoulders lately.

I made the prediction just before the election to one of the company wingers that Bush would go down in history as one of the worst ever. The look on his face was complete astonishment.... "how could anyone think the way?" the look said. I don't think he would be so astonished or surprised at my words now.
