Is John Kerry right about greed being the overarching philosophy of the 1600 Crew? After 9-11, when President Megaphone had all the male and female journalists/commentators/congresscritters and anyone else with a swoon left in them, just behaving all giddily on account of his new-found bold manhood. But then a curious thing happened, we all remember what it was. It wasn't a call to national service (except as American Gestapo under the TIPS program). It wasn't a call to the shared and common sacrifices here at home that a war would impose, both by it's nature and structure. I was a call to the mall. And as our eyes have moved off the ball onto the target du jour of the 1600 Spin Team, there seems to be a lot of a ramped-up culture of greed quietly taking place.

Consider, no-bid contracts for companies that either fostered current administration officials (you could not mean the VP, right Jo?), or were significant donors to the GOP. Amazing.

If John Kerry is even 50% right about this, and the security of our nations is being compromised in any way for a greedy few, there's no hole deep enough to toss them in, no winter too cold for them to endure naked and no thirst too great for them to ever know. I would hope that no Americans would behave as Senator Kerry suggests; but then I've always been accused of being naive.
