Conyers: Less than 4 in 10 Americans Support the War (plus other goodies)

The Honorable Congressman Conyers updates his blog with some REAL GOOD STUFF.

We Must be Getting Through
Right Wing Reacts to DSM

After ignoring the plain facts for some time, the far right has been forced to respond to the reality of the DSM. If you do a google search, you will see that various right wing blogs and publications, including none other than Rush Limbaugh, have decided to not only acknowledge the issue, but to go on the offesensive against the DSM. Some on the right are even trying to assert the DSM were forged, after previously saying there was nothing new in the DSM. To me, this is an overt sign of the sucess we are having in bringing this critical issue to the attention of the American people.

The hearing we had last Thursday was just another step in the process of getting to the bottom of how President Bush led us into war. I expect the steady drip-drip of stories and revelations to continue. As a matter of fact, today's Guardian has a story on a UK diplomat admitting that claims about WMD were "totally implausible."

BTW, CNN has a new poll showing that less than 4 in 10 Americans support the Iraq War

4. "After living in La-La Land for some time, the far right ...

"... has been forced to respond to the reality of the DSM."

I like the way that acronym DSM just kind of rolls off the tongue, don't you? Thank goodness it isn't the MJW or something like that. In this substanceless society inundated with trash like Pox News and CNN and crybaby journalists like Dana Milbank, it's the little things that keep the *magpie people focused.

* "Oooh, look! Something shiny."

6. Mr. Conyers is a class act with guts

We owe him a big thank you.

7. He, and not the imperial Clintonites, should be running this party.

Quite impressive to see one person galvanize a spineless party.

It's an interlude--and the party will be back to greasing the axles of America uber alles in short measure--but here's thanks for small mercies.
