Scoring Low
In preparation for the State of the Union Address tomorrow. I took "The Republican Loyalty Quiz -- 10 Questions to Test Your Allegiance to the GOP".
Here's my score, and, honestly, I was trying NOT to choose inflammatory answers.
"Your score is 0 on a scale of 1 to 10. You are a pure, unabashed, die-hard Democratic loyalist. You are appalled by the way Republicans are transforming America into a theocratic, corpo-fascist police state, and you'd walk through a furnace in a gasoline suit if it meant casting a deciding vote for a Democratic president. In your view, there is no higher form of patriotism than defending America against the Republican Party and every intolerant, puritanical, imperialistic greed-mongering, Constitution-shredding ideal for which it stands."
Guess they have my number.
If you too scored 5 or below, you might be interested in following the Scooter Libby trial. So far they've had a terrible time selecting the jury. They can't find anyone in DC who scores 5 or below.
The best place to follow the blow by blow is at Firedoglake -- scroll down to find the entries. Thanks to Arianna Huffington, the Firedoglakers secured one of the limited press passes. Sadly, Jane Hamsher, a key contributor to the blog, had cancer surgery last week, and will miss some of the proceedings.
And finally, in the takes-one-to-know-one department, when asked about passing problems on to future Presidents by USA Today's David Jackson Bush said:
The war on terror will be a problem for the next president. Presidents after me will be confronting with this, with an enemy that would like to strike the United States again, an enemy that is interested in spreading their vision -- I call it a totalitarian vision of governance -- an enemy that will kill innocent people to achieve their objectives and an enemy that would like to acquire weapons that could do serious damage. . . .
Projection at its finest.
