90. Dayum - you make me think back to the hapless, pathetic April Ryan after the Iraq War started.

Aug 2015

She was in the White House Press Corpse at the news conference the next morning. Amidst the protests and the lobbying WE all did on this side of that miserable mess, and the controversy about it, what does she ask bush when he calls on her? "Mr. President, how does your faith serve you?" And this hideously most godless of all Presidents in American history began to pontificate about all kinds of vague religion-based bullshit. Our kids are being sent over there to get their legs blown off, and April Ryan asks that dry-drunk jerk how his faith serves him. UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE. What a disgrace. Of all questions...

I cannot see her to this very day and not remember that. What a bullshit. What absolute horse-hockey. Pathetic and utterly disgraceful!
