Writing for Wonkette is bascially working the political-comedy assembly line eight fucking hours a day, and I rarely have any memory of anything because by 5 o'clock I'm just disgusted and exhausted and head for the hills with the dog so I can hike around for an hour and listen to music and look down at the clogged freeway with hatred and despair. But some blog mentioned the goofy little Alan Greenspan thing I typed the other day, and this part made me laugh, in retrospect:
Anyway, Al’s new book says all the democracy/weapons bullshit was just bullshit so we could go seize the Iraqi oil fields and make sure Saddam didn’t suddenly start a Powerful Navy and somehow take control of the Gulf and make oil cost $120 a barrel, which is a whole $40 more than it costs, er, today, which itself is quadruple the cost per barrel in, uh, 2003, when they invaded Iraq to control the oil supply.
