Republicans Ate My Baby!

Acknowledgements to August Pollak here:

First, listen to Paul Begala's remarks on the administration's terror policies, or read on below:

BEGALA: ...we sit back and allow George W. Bush and our Republican friends to pull out 9/11 like a cheap handgun in a bar fight. Okay? "9/11." There's a drought in the Midwest. "9/11." The deficit's up. "9/11" You know? But, I think we need to fight them on that. I think, frankly they did a piss-poor job of defending us, and their strategy was always "we'll fight them over there so we don't fight them here." Well guess what, bin Laden didn't get the memo. He wants to fight us here as well as we saw in London last week. And so, the- their theory is, "we can't really do everything to protect our country because we have to cut taxes for the rich." And so, it... they want to kill us- particularly this city and New York and some other places. I was driving past the pentagon when that plane hit. I had friends on that plane, this is deadly serious to me- they want to kill me and my children if they can. But if they just kill me and not my children, they want my children to be comforted that while they didn't protect me because they cut my taxes, my children won't have to pay any money on the money they inherit. You know, that is bullshit national defense and we should say that.

Now, hearing that, naturally, the braindead media decides - why, he must be saying that Republicans are hiring assassins to kill his children!

Have we put the final nail in the coffin of the 'Liberal media' myth, yet?

Say what?
Democratic strategist Paul Begala says Republicans want to kill him and his children to preserve tax cuts for the rich.
Mr. Begala was featured last week at the first-ever Campus Progress National Student Conference, which was designed to provide liberal students with the tools necessary to fight the conservative movement. The event in Washington also drew former President Bill Clinton, for whom Mr. Begala once worked as an adviser.
Mr. Begala, who was participating in a panel discussion, created a stir when he declared that Republicans had done a "poor job of defending" the United States, CNSNews.com reports.
Republicans, he added, "want to kill us."
He continued, "I was driving past the Pentagon when that plane hit" on September 11. "I had friends on that plane. This is deadly serious to me.
"They want to kill me and my children if they can. But if they just kill me and not my children, they want my children to be comforted -- that while they didn't protect me because they cut my taxes, my children won't have to pay any money on the money they inherit," Mr. Begala said.
