2. Conservatives are going to watch this and totally misunderstand the message

"The Iraq War is a noble justified cause, because of something that we did 62 years ago"

"Bush=Churchill; Democrats are the appeasers and Neville Chamberlain; Saddam is Hitler (and so is Osama)"

[OzarkDem]

4. Probably so

but hope Burns will make that difficult for them to do. He did a pretty good job with the Civil War, treating the south fairly but not glamorizing their reasons for seceding from the union.

3. LOL ... I'm sure they didn't mean it that way but that was funny.

They just had the lead-in and the announcer said ...

Corporate funding for *the war* provided by ...{pause} General Motors.

The Halliburton of that generation.

5. Is the FCC going to allow the salty language?

This was at issue several weeks ago. I wonder what the resolution was.

7. I hope Malkin watches the part about internment

but she won't understand it.
