luckily not a politician
Wow, this just in, from the New York Times:
“I’m worried that too many people, both in politics and out, don’t appreciate the seriousness of the threat to American security and the evil of the enemy that faces us - more evil, or as evil, as Nazism and probably more dangerous than the Soviet Communists we fought during the long Cold War,” Mr. Lieberman said.
Reread that so you can appreciate the seriousness of our enemy. WORSE THAN NAZIS! Look out world! The... who... the terrorists? the Iraqis? Fuck man, I dunno, but somebody's coming, they're probably Muslim, and they're gonna fuck us up!
If every politician that made completely ridiculous and misleading comparisons was as close to having their political career ended as Lieberman, I would sleep a lot better. Seriously. If I want to hear someone try to influence my actions using fear, I'll just call up my dad and tell him I'm going to drive into DC.
