Meanwhile, Back At The Worst. Presidency. Ever.

Now that the weeklong media Reagasm seems to have spent itself, we can turn our attention back to the ongoing war crimes coverup, where I predict Bush has got a reeeely bad week ahead of him: Revelations both that the torture was so much worse than we've seen so far (women and children, now) AND documentation that it all was approved at the highest levels.

Think about it for a minute, folks: A legal memo just surfaced arguing that these acts WOULD be war crimes EXCEPT if the president expressly approved them, and suddenly -- who'da thunk? -- these savage practices started being imposed everywhere -- in Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, the federal detention center for illegal immigrants in NY . . .

. . . I guess someone should have explained that part to Chimpy: When you take the gloves off -- you leave your fingerprints all over everything.
