And all tomorrow's missions too

Today is "Mission Accomplished Day" (10 freaking years later!)

Never forget the heroes.

Chris Matthews on MSNBC called Bush a “hero” and boomed, “He won the war. He was an effective commander. Everybody recognizes that, I believe, except a few critics.” He added: “Women like a guy who’s president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It’s simple.”

PBS’ Gwen Ifill said Bush was “part Tom Cruise, part Ronald Reagan.” On NBC, Brian Williams gushed, “The pictures were beautiful. It was quite something to see the first-ever American president on a—on a carrier landing.”

Bob Schieffer on CBS said: “As far as I’m concerned, that was one of the great pictures of all time.” His guest, Joe Klein, responded: “Well, that was probably the coolest presidential image since Bill Pullman played the jet fighter pilot in the movie Independence Day. That was the first thing that came to mind for me.”
Gee aren't those three individuals embarrassed.  Guess they'll always regret the day they threw away their credibility glorifying the bloodiest obvious hypocrisy of the decade. 

Aw I'm just joshing with you, of course.  Those people are still fabulously wealthy, successful, and respected voices in political journalism. In their business you can never go broke sucking up to money and power

This is also why we're all very excited for The Advocate's future. What could possibly go wrong?
