Brokeback Nation (Steve Horowitz, Counterbias)
Brokeback Nation

Observe the president closely when he gives his State of the Union speech next week.

1. Horrible wordsmithing.
"Not that this hour is all that perilous. To be sure, we lost 3,000 people on 9/11, and saw the lives of many husbands, wives, parents, children, brothers and sisters ruined. But that was one day in a 230-year-long history. And because of that one day, we've shown ourselves willing to accept Bush's lies and ineptitude, willing to give up hard-won personal freedoms, in the hope that this proven incompetent will protect us from the monsters under the bed -- our chief reason for believing he will being that he tells us so.

That is so gay."

Gay people are probably the least apt to be fooled by this criminal of a President.
