Evil on my iPod
Last night I walked back to my office after dinner (yeah, welcome to my life) while listening to Democracy Now! on my iPod.
During the news portion of the podcast, they played a brief recording of a press conference with Scott McClellan, official talking head of the White House.
Responding to a reporter's questions about the existence of U.S.-run clandestine detention centers around the world, Scotty said:
"When it comes to human rights, there is no greater leader than the United States of America, and we show that by holding people accountable when they break the law or they violate human rights... No one has done more when it comes to human rights than the United States of America."
And then he suddenly exploded in a sulfur-scented cloud of infernal fire, and his suffering soul was sucked into the eighth circle of hell.
(OK, OK... so that last part didn't really happen. But all that proves is that even Satan has his standards.)
Needless to say that upon reaching the office, I quickly rummaged through my desk in search of a Q-tip... I needed to scoop that toxic lie out of my ears, before the venom spread to my brain!
If you can stand it -- or if you just want to frighten your progressive friends -- here is a link to the entire transcript.
