Donuts*

Good Old Digby follows up on a point I tried to make here about the war-mongering neocons being the fringe players and in the minority, whereas anti-war sentiment has now become the mainstream opinion. The GOP talking point that anyone who is "agin the gommint" is a member of the radical fringe is just bogus. The facts just don't bear out that contention. Having written that, I can just hear Stephen Colbert saying: But Bill, the facts are biased!

Digby:

It would appear that the people stated their desires quite clearly --- both in polls and in elections. I suppose they [the GOP] can keep claiming that 60% of the country is "extreme left" but I don't think anyone will believe them.

[Press Secretary, Tony] Snow was virtually incoherent this morning. If I didn't know better, I'd say the white house is rattled. As well they should be.

Here's my favorite Snow line:

In the totalitarian states the despot alone has the opportunity to declare what he or she wants to do. And frankly, they are much more warlike.

Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

* Donuts, because in a donut, the fringe is in the majority :-)
