Really, you have to admire it in a sick sort of way.

Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » The Eggman Says Kids Were “Egging the Congressman On” :
And if anything, these kids are less innocent — these 16 and 17 year-old beasts…and I've seen what they're doing on YouTube and I've seen what they're doing all over the internet — oh yeah — you just have to tune into any part of their pop culture. You're not going to tell me these are innocent babies. Have you read the transcripts that ABC posted going into the weekend of these instant messages, back and forth? The kids are egging the Congressman on!
The way these Rs can spin. Spin. As in turn around real fast. I mean, only yesterday it was protect the darling kiddies from the mean old men on the internets. Today it's protect the poor old men from 17 year-old beasts on YouTube.

Beasts?

Ah. Well. Whenever there's a juicy story out of D.C. the first thing to do is ask yourself what else is going on they'd rather you not think about (look! over here! something shiny! shiny! look!). There've been several candidates suggested in this case - the recent national security report on the Iraq war is one. But here at YAME we go with Jon Stewart's take - we say it's the outlandish and outrageous "detainee bill" that trashes the Geneva Conventions and strips non-citizens of habeas corpus rights (we believe in the "rule of law," but only for ourselves).

But, hey, what the hell. "Habeas corpus" is Latin and who speaks Latin any more? It's the 21st Century, dude. R u wearing boxers?
