Actually it did.
Must have some seriously deep convictions to pull something like that off.
I'm not saying it's admirable, and please don't try and paint me as
sympathetic to their "cause", but it does take balls, conviction, and plenty
of courage to do something like that.

That's a given.

>What on earth does this have to with "left" and "right"? 

Just pointing out that it seems to be all the folks on the "right" who are
generating this latest discussion regarding politics.  Hey, I'm not the one
who said "left-wing idiots".
Also was wondering to myself why the only few times you post are regarding
political topics.
It had been suggested that some of us "idiots" were responsible for starting
political debates in the past.  A contention that I vehemently disagree
with.

>So what? 

"So what"????? You're kidding, right???  This is the most blatant form of
distortion of the facts that I've ever seen!  Ever!  I usually don't get too
riled about political stuff, but hell, you can't go changing the historical
record just because your boss can't speak and think for himself.
I found the defense a while back on this list of Bush's speaking ability to
be absolutely ludi-crisp (not to be confused with Super Sugar Crisp).  My
recent "Bush Quotes" in my signature have been a subtle yet deliberate way
of showing that Bush is simply (very simply) just not intelligent enough to
be able to talk on his feet.  Talking "on the go" or "on your feet" is one
of the purest ways of determining a person's mental capacity.  Bush has
little.  His administration knows it and that's why they want to hide it
from the official HISTORICAL RECORD.

At least you acknowledge "it's" something.

Ohhhhhhh yes it does, and in an equally slimy way.  Actually it's worse.
What the Bush Administration is doing equates to a *conspiracy* to lie to
not only this generation of Americans, but more importantly all *future*
generations of American's as well.
Thank god for The Press, the only organization that will keep accurate
records of what is said.
Please don't ask me to defend Clinton and the whole Monica-scank debacle.
That was a sad, sad thing.

>But what does all this

Not a thing.  I didn't even know who Maher is, and have never watched his
show.  The above about censorship was part of my signature, and you felt
compelled to comment on it.
*Sound familiar* ?????????

Now, can anyone argue with *that* statement?
I can't.
But you see, when the man talks about something he knows about and believes
in, he can actually speak just fine, with no speech impediment in sight.
