Vulgarian at the Post


This morning's WaPo brought another dropping from former Bush speechwriter Michael "Mushroom Cloud" Gerson, an op/ed entitled "Vulgarian at the Gate." Gerson, who earned his nickname by inserting the misleading and highly emotional image into the Assministration's lexicon on the non-existent nuclear threat from Saddam Hussein, has his panties in a knot that Al Franken is someone who uses vulgar language on occasion (and, more significantly, is in danger of beating Rethug Norm Coleman's butt in the Senate race in Minnesota). Gerson, whose exquisite sensibilities about morality apparently don't extend as far as having the intellectual courage/ ability to stop condoning the lies and killing his patron Dumbya (and to some extent flunkies like he) is responsible for in the run-up and execution of the unnecessary war in Iraq. We'll take Franken's vulgarities over Gerson's any day.
