Post Of The Day From The Democratic Underground — I Wish Queasy And Duh-day Were Still Alive: Although there was a mixed (mostly negative) reaction to this statement on DU, I really wonder if this was a relatively common reaction among the hardcore anti-Bushies that they’re too embarassed to admit in public… thermodynamic: Doesn’t a […]
