Chevron, it seems, paid "security forces" who killed villagers in Africa.
Fourteen marines and their Iraqi interpreter were just killed in a bombing in Iraq.
Bush said that Intelligent Design should be taught alongside the theory of evolution in school. (He also said he has "complete confidence in Karl Rove.")
Oy.
Edited to add: Political Animal's Kevin Drum isn't quite as outraged as I am, because, as he points out, there's nothing new about that last story. He does go on to say...
Actually, what bugged me most about this whole affair was reading the faux outrage from Bush's conservative supporters in the blogosphere, as if they had no idea he felt this way before this week. Give it a rest, guys. Bush thinks creationism sounds great, Tom DeLay thinks the teaching of evolution was responsible for the Columbine shootings, and Bill Frist — a medical doctor! — is so scared of the Christian right that last December on "This Week" he hemmed and hawed and fidgeted like a naughty schoolchild while repeatedly declining to say whether he thought HIV-AIDS could be transmitted through tears or sweat.
Note to Bush supporters: You all knew what you were voting for when you put these guys in power. I'm happy to see you on the side of the angels here, but it's a little late to pretend to be shocked that the Republican leadership feels this way.
