Politics stops at the water’s edge.
Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels.
Bush’s opponents are rats deserting a sinking ship.
Bush’s supporters are lemmings rushing off a cliff.
Pick any platitude from any era, and somebody in Congress is uttering some variation of it right now while evading the hard work of figuring out how to stop the bloodshed in Iraq.
As Mike Nichols and Elaine May used to say in their nightclub act: “It’s really a moral problem.” “Yes, and moral problems are so much more interesting than real problems.”
But they weren't being paid to solve real problems. These jokers are.
