Ladies And Gentlemen, Our Vice President

Asshole.

I'd love to say I was shocked and surprised, but after eight years, I'm not.

On a semi-related note, here's a post that I tried (and failed) to write last week.

I will add: since we entered Iraq on March 20, 2003, 4,000 American soldiers have been killed there. 43 days later, President Bush declared "major combat" to be over on May 1, 2003.

3861 of those deaths have occurred after that date in May.

That's over 96% of all American casualties in Iraq. All dead after our leader told the world "Mission accomplished." And that doesn't even begin to factor in the two orders of magnitude difference in Iraqi casualties.

Some accomplishment.
