Garrison Keillor on George Bush

When will the Bush-haters stop spewing their vile hatred of our beloved leader? Like some sort of George Romero zombie, Garrison Keillor has turned into one of THEM. Check it out:

This liberal kook begins with this:
These are troubling times for all of us who love this country, as surely we all do, even the satirists. You may poke fun at your mother, but if she is belittled by others it burns your bacon. A blowhard French journalist writes a book about America that is full of arrogant stupidity, and you want to let the air out of him and mail him home flat. You hear young people talk about America as if it's all over, and you trust that this is only them talking tough. And then you read the paper and realize the country is led by a man who isn't paying attention, and you hope that somebody will poke him. Or put a sign on his desk that says, "Try Much Harder."
I question whether Garrison Keillor actually "loves this country." He's a Democrat Kerry-supporter and as Ann Coulter says:
The idea that the Democrats have any meaningful interest in America's national security is a joke...
So that settles that, I guess.

And then there's this:
The Feb. 27 issue of the New Yorker carries an article by Jane Mayer about a loyal conservative Republican and U.S. Navy lawyer, Albert Mora, and his resistance to the torture of prisoners at Guantánamo Bay. From within the Pentagon bureaucracy, he did battle against Donald Rumsfeld and John Yoo at the Justice Department and shadowy figures taking orders from Dick (Gunner) Cheney, arguing America had ratified the Geneva Convention that forbids cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment of prisoners, and so it has the force of law. They seemed to be arguing that the president has the right to order prisoners to be tortured.

One such prisoner, Mohammed al-Qahtani, was held naked in isolation under bright lights for months, threatened by dogs, subjected to unbearable noise volumes, and otherwise abused, so that he begged to be allowed to kill himself. When the Senate approved the Torture Convention in 1994, it defined torture as an act "specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering." Is the law a law or is it a piece of toast?
Why can't Keillor see that he's only helping The Enemy? He'll be sorry when another 9/11 happens, won't he? Only then will he realize that by spewing such lies, he was aiding and abetting The Enemy - a treasonous act as all right-thinking people know.

But this anti-American hypocrite's greatest sin occurs at the end:
The peaceful lagoon that is the White House is designed for the comfort of a vulnerable man. Perfectly understandable, but not what is needed now. The U.S. Constitution provides a simple ultimate way to hold him to account for war crimes and the failure to attend to the country's defense. Impeach him and let the Senate hear the evidence.
Impeach him? Yea right!

We all know that impeachment was only meant for unfaithful Democrat hypocrite presidents, don't we? Not for a God-fearing conservative republican president who's decided that what's best for us is for him to take the reigns of government back from the ACLU and all the other terrorist-enablers who hide behind the Bill of Rights!

You are one naive sick puppy.
Uneducated and totally tranced with
some crazy idea Bush has any clue about running this country. He is the greatest threat we face.
