Familiarity breeds contempt, is that what they say?


Once again, into the Glenn Greenwald goodie bag for this gem (emphasis added):

It really is striking that whenever one is convinced that Bush's unpopularity ratings have reached their nadir, the one thing that can always drive them even further downward is Bush's appearance on national television to explain himself to the country (or, to use Jules Crittenden's classic formulation: for the President to "address us . . . and show us the way forward"). Even after six years, the more Americans see and hear from George Bush, the more they dislike him.

Suddenly, PM Stephen Harper's reclusiveness makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?

Greenwald argues that the bush II regime is at its most dangerous when feeling threatened, but the alternative shouldn't be to therefore give him everything he wants.

The legislative branch must impeach this man, this regime, and then put him on trial for treason and nullify every single one of his Supreme Court appointments.
