I don’t like cranks, and I especially don’t like cranks who exaggerate their own importance.
I’ll resist joking about the self-hating aspect of this posture etc.

Plus, Rep Steve King (R-IA):
Let’s just say that, that, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of 9/11, is brought to the United States to be tried in a federal court in the United States, under a federal judge, and we know what some of those judges do, and on a technicality, such as, let’s just say he wasn’t read his Miranda rights. … He is released into the streets of America. Walks over and steps up into a US embassy and applies for asylum for fear that he can’t go back home cause he spilled the beans on al Qaeda. What happens then if another judge grants him asylum in the United States and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is on a path to citizenship.
Congressman, are you nuts?
Well, it’s wild to see The Atlantic’s Andrew Sullivan—who supported George W. Bush and the Iraq War with messianic fervour until coming to his senses and observing the whirlwind of destruction left behind by the Bush/Cheney/Rove cadre—working himself into a froth of support for Barack Obama, all the while lazily sniping at the Clintons.
Why is going from one paralyzed devotional epiphany to another so good for pundits’ careers? Just cause they can write interestingly about whomever they’re currently slavering about?
Maybe he needs to shut the fuck up about Senator Clinton, considering the acid fogs of surreality he’s convinced himself into believing previously. You were wrong the first time..
