Baby Face Finster Cries for Democracy
Tony Snow, that is. You can watch it here. The quote doesn't do his theatrics justice, but here you go:Are you saying that detaining people who are plucked off the battlefields is an assault on democracy? Are you kidding me? You're talking about the people who were responsible for supporting the Taliban, somehow detaining them is an assault on democracy?This phony indignation has now become normal fare. What else would you expect from a Fox News-sponsored shitmouth flak like Tony Snow?
What amazes me is how well this strategy works. The networks go ooh and ahh over some perceived confrontation, the White House Press Secretary provides a gross misinterpretation of the facts, and then clouds the whole issue with his little childish outbursts.
This is classic Anti-Intellectualism at its finest. Get indignant when people raise questions, and then crush them when they actually ask them.
