I do agree, Ustwo. I think it's valuable to see one's follies and laugh at them. However, to go on making the same follies or supporting the ones in the past, after seeing them for what they are... that's being even more of a self-important ass, I'd say. Having the ability to laugh at oneself is fine, but it is worthless if it doesn't push you to change those faults.
If I had to choose, I'd rather be a liberal with ethics than a conservative with a sense of humor. But that's just me.
Meanwhile, from host's transcript of the Helen Thomas inquisition:

If you read along up to that point, he justifies the war using 9/11 and going into Afghanistan. He keeps talking about Afghanistan, the Taliban, etc. Helen Thomas reminds him that's not what she's asking about. So then all of a sudden: "I also saw a threat in Iraq." There is no real connection between Afghanistan and Iraq... he makes this total jump. The threat he saw had nothing to do with 9/11 or Afghanistan. What logic.
/lingers in Politics... this is kinda fun.
