1. From his little chat with Wolf Blitzer yesterday

You can probably find the transcript on the CNN website, but apparently Bush isn't very impressed with his handiwork so far in bringing death and chaos to Iraq, reckoning that it wouldn't merit much more than a comma in the history books (whatever in hell that means). It sounded pretty dismissive of the suffering the Iraqi people have gone through at his hands, and it sounded downright derogatory of our troops' efforts there.

An actual human being would have proceeded to pound the living snot out of the overprivileged frat boy for saying something so heinous out loud. Mr. Blitzer, however, had no discernible reaction, merely combed out his beard, picked up his twenty off the dresser, and left the room.

2. You mean a comma, not a coma.

If there is any coma in current history, it involves our media. They are all in a coma and unable to report. Their reflexes work. For example, they can praise * and his works reflexively, while ignoring anything that requires thought or analysis. Our comatose corporate media.
