18 Months Ago

Atrios notes that we have 18 months to go in the national nightmare that has been the Bush Presidency. (And yes it does bring to mind the famous Onion headline.) He then reviews what he was writing about 18 months ago - silly Deborah Howell's awful performance on the Abramoff coverage, Joe Klein, of course, and one of many Iran scares we have been subjected to.

On the flip, I'll remember what I was writing about.

For me it was all ScAlito all the time:

    By the rhethugs playing by different rules. Alito and Roberts came after most of the right wing appointees had already been confirmed.

    Hard to understand how that happened.  The dems kept giving and giving based on dishonest promises, threats and outright lies.

    And 18 or more years undoing the damage.

    You think the wingnuts have been bad during 7 1/2 years of injecting  the koolaid, wait till you see them crazy dope sick in withdrawal.
