George Bush:The Unabridged Edition
I'm speechless...
"As Mo Udall once put it, the people have spoken, goddamn them.
They showed up. The Republican base, that is. The people who believe that their marriages are threatened by those of gay people, the people who believe there were WMD in Iraq and that Saddam waved a hankie at Mohammed Atta, the people who believe His eye is on every embryo. They all showed up, and there are more of them than there are of us. This was a faith-based electorate and, for whatever reason, their belief was stronger than our reality. This is a country I do not recognize any more.
I don't know this country's mind any more, let alone its heart...
You wanted this guy. Now you have him, unleashed."

"Disgusted by the drab old buildings and narrow, winding streets of Rome, Nero brazenly set fire to the City and though a group of ex-consuls caught his attendants, armed with oakum and blazing torches, trespassing on their property, they dared not interfere.
Nero watched the conflagration from the Tower, enraptured by what he called 'the beauty of the flames'; then pulled out a fiddle and played many a song from beginning to end."

Heh. Keep up the arrogance, guys. It plays so well.
