Truth Hurts

Somehow, the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals are still in charge of this country. Somehow, this is tolerated. Somehow, nobody is accountable for this.
--Kevin Tillman, brother of Pat Tillman
Kevin Tillman understood that the world changed after 9/11. He and his brother joined the Army in spite of jobs and lives. He sounds a lot like those crazy unpatriotic folks who have had the audacity to question this administration.

ESPN's "Outside The Lines" did a great program on the events leading up the Pat Tillman's death. It was an impressive show for a sports show; be sure and keep an eye out for it.

I appreciate how he feels. My anguished, disgusted reaction following the '04 election was very much the same.

Sometimes, you take two steps back,grab a deep breath and marvel at how so many of our fellow Americans trusted these goons not once, but twice. It just boggles the mind.

I just read Frank Rich's excellent The Greatest Story Ever Sold and, among other bits, he has a nice take on the BS stories about Tillman. Definitely worth a read.
