"They all look the same to me"

The torture bill, the war, the donut hole, the corporate scandals - it never ends with this administration and their lackeys in the Republican house and senate. And then you get a nugget like this from Senator Hair Piece:

Lott: Bush barely mentioned Iraq in meeting with Senate Republicans From CNN's Ted Barrett

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush barely mentioned the war in Iraq when he met with Republican senators behind closed doors in the Capitol Thursday morning and was not asked about the course of the war, Sen. Trent Lott, R-Mississippi, said.

"No, none of that," Lott told reporters after the session when asked if the Iraq war was discussed. "You're the only ones who obsess on that. We don't and the real people out in the real world don't for the most part."

Lott went on to say he has difficulty understanding the motivations behind the violence in Iraq.

"It's hard for Americans, all of us, including me, to understand what's wrong with these people," he said. "Why do they kill people of other religions because of religion? Why do they hate the Israeli's and despise their right to exist? Why do they hate each other? Why do Sunnis kill Shiites? How do they tell the difference? They all look the same to me."

This is the best and brightest we have? "real people out in the real world don't for the most part" don't think about the war? The most important struggle in the history of mankind? The "central front in the war on terror"?

I am out in the "real world". I am not in the fake, protected world of the senate chamber, working out in the house gym, hanging out at the country club, and going to have my hair piece adjusted. I think about the war every day. I can't take much more...

(Editor's note: Senator Lott's hand gesture was his attempt to describe the size of his brain.)
