But, GWB, I really don't like you!
On 10/10/2006, Keith Olberman did a wonderfully revealing piece (in his normally psuedo-irreverent-but-serious way) outlining how the misadministration has, under cover of scandal and "truthiness", neutered the Writ of Habeus Corpus as it pertains to it's reference in the U.S. "Constitution".
I feel as though I've been punched in the gut...I have no air to breath, no energy to muster. Nothing. Just a void where my civil liberties used to be, right next to my heart.
Our Chimpanzee-In-Chief has mumblefucked his way to another milestone of stupidity, bravado and ultimately has guaranteed our failure as a civil and righteous nation. While the media's been whipped into a frenzy over FoleyBate (a true crime in many ways, and worthy of the attention it's receiving), the SimiAdministration's has geeked us yet again: He signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which, among it's many provisions, suspends the Writ of Habeus Corpus at the discretion of the Prezdent.
I concede that I am far from expert in the ways of government, who does what and all such nonesense, and in truth, I am probably just knowledgeable enough to ignore with prejudice. However, the manner with which our "leader" conducted himself in order to forward this legislation should be a huge eyeopener, even to those who have voted for him, that he's simply not to be trusted.
Hate is surely a strong word...and I'm not sure it doesn't apply here, Dubya.

Check out yesterday's comment by Olbermann. 10/23/6. He's really putting himself out there in his absolute criticisms. It was amazing.
