Stress: The confusion caused by your conscience overriding the urge to strangle the living daylights out of some jerk who desperately deserves it!
Wow, I feel that way about Bush, w.r.t. the wiretapping furor going on right now. We all know that the Puzzle Palace does SIGINT, and we all know it's supposed to only do its work abroad, not domestically. So, when Bush is criticized because of the wiretaps on international phone calls originating in the U.S., does he say "hey, once a call crosses national borders it's fair game"? No, because that would be sensible, and would shut down the whole controversy. Everyone would shrug & go on about their business. Instead of that, he has to come out with a justification out of a Vaclav Havel play: "that congress authorized me to use all necessary [military] force supersedes all other law and means I have carte-blanche to do whatever I think's needed".
Has he lost his mind?
Is he trying to put that hyena from New York in office in 2008?
Has he simply decided that he isn't accountable to anyone but himself?
Has he completely stopped listening to Cheney?
Does Rove think by playing into the hands of the "Bush is trying to eliminate democracy in America" camp that they'll be distracted from our massive trade & budget defecits in 2006?
Is he really a marionette being manipulated by space-aliens?
WTF ?!
