Looney Tunes America

Lots of us remember when Ronald Reagon added a political meaning to the famous Hollywood cartoon nomenclature that included Daffy Duck, Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd. I think Looney Tunes is a pretty good way to describe the present mindset of that one third of Americans who still support Bush's disastrous Iraq war.

If 2,814 American deaths and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi deaths do not stifle their support for The Decider, if $8 billion a month (i.e., $367 million a day, $11 million an hour) beng spent on this senseless war does not shock them out of their stupor, then we may be dealing with incurable looniness.

It is simply nuts when anybody believes Dick Cheney when he says that the "war is going remarkably well" or White House spokesman Tony Snow when he proclaims "we don't torture."

Unfortunately, Bushworld is not a world of fantasy. It is a world of very blatant lies and very deadly results. A pity the electorate didn't vote for Elmer for president.
