Excuse me
while I laugh myself stupid over this:
That sound you hear is the world choking with laughter.
Bush lecturing Arab leaders on human rights, civil rights, political debate? Oh, please, This is the Decider who has decided the Constitution does not apply to him, his office or his minions. This is the party leader whose party is insinuating a Democratic candidate might not be a god enough patriot (Obama) and yet has approved a Patriot Act that would strip citizens of their citizenship if the White House sees fit.
Excuse me while I laugh myself stupid.
It's the only alternative I can think of to crawling off in shame, burning my passport, and weeping for what a pathetic mess we have become.
"America is deeply concerned about the plight of political prisoners in this region, as well as democratic activists who are intimidated or repressed, newspapers and civil society organizations that are shut down and dissidents whose voices are stifled," Bush said.
"I call on all nations in this region to release their prisoners of conscience, open up their political debate and trust their people to chart their future," Bush said. (ital. mine)
