Whoa! BUZZFLASH really hits hard
This is a snip from the Buzzflash editorial Weekly Standard vs Buzzflash and Sidney Bluementhal

This is the toughest rhetoric yet.

"It’s like having a blind, brain-damaged parakeet as president. All the Chickenhawk Neo-Con "endless war" advisors sit around the parakeet and recommend war, deregulation, rollback of environmental protections, government contracts for campaign contributors, making America into an official Christian state, and so forth. Because the parakeet is mentally deficient, he keeps nodding his head all the time. The advisers interpret his nodding head as approval for their destructive plans. The Bush corporate media shills prop up the parakeet by insisting that his head nods are proof of his decisiveness and wisdom. This is what passes for good government with the Republicans and their media enablers!

Anybody else see this?

1. What a brutal assessment, but who could
refute the gist of this devastating depiction.

3. Blumenthal is part of Buzzflash???
If so that is impressive for them. It gives them a lot of credibility with the mainstream press.

4. I wish Buzzflash had the reach of the Washington Post
People would wake up to Captain Unelected's lies and incompetence in a big hurry.

5. Kick
Buzzflash is pretty good. So here's a kick for this damning assessment.
