Lamar Smith is an Idiot


By Baxter

George W. Bush as Jesus Christ? That's apparently what Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) would have us believe.

Congressman Smith, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, pushed back against the testimony of Scott McClellan today with this most extraordinary statement: “Scott McClellan alone will have to wrestle with whether it was worth selling out the President and his friends for a few pieces of silver.”

Pardon us while we hack up a giant hairball. Never mind the fact that Bush, Cheney, Rove, Libby, et. al. outed a covert CIA agent for political reasons. Even over and above that, George W. Bush — with his illegal, unprovoked war based on lies and his status around the world as Torturer-in-Chief — doesn't strike us as the modern equivalent of a first-century rabbi who died on a cross.

We HISS at Congressman Smith, and dump our dirty litter box in the driver's seat of his car.
