Civility Myass
O Ye of Little Memory!Do we recall any American shock when the Guardian published Charles Booker's lament "John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr. -- where are you now that we need you?" And I don't recall anyone felt that language was getting too heated when, Howard Dean, head of the Democratic party, fumed, "I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for." And was it not The New Republic that highlighted Jonathan Chaitâs infamous "Why I Hate George W. Bush" article? Of course, there was that thoroughly civil New York play, "I'm Gonna Kill the President." -- Works and Days ｻ An Age of UntruthSeriously, fuck them and the president they rode in on.
