The Poor Man Cafe » Phase II is where you go fuck yourself: "Yeah. Um, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there’s not going to be a Phase II report. There was no Earthly reason not to handle all the intel issues in one report, but you agreed, for reasons that remain unclear to me, to give Bush the political cover he wanted and not force any questions about just what the fuck was up with all that aluminum tube bullshit. There were too many issues to deal with? Give me a break. There appeared to be ample time for endless, pointless panty-sniffing around Joseph Wilson - for some reason, the issue of whether some guy who wrote a critical editorial is a bad person could get addressed right away. Were we lied into war? That question can wait forever, apparently. Bullshit.

Democrats, clue in: ‘I’ll gladly pay you Thursday for a hamburger today’ is not a good deal. Hamburger stands don’t work that way, because it’s not a good deal. So stop agreeing to it. Fucking figure it out. If the Republicans wanted two reports, let Phase I deal with the issues of substance, and let Phase II be an in-depth Congressional Intelligence report exclusively devoted to concerns that Joseph Wilson is a bad man who squeezes the toothpaste tube from the middle or whatever. You got chumped, chumps. They chumped you chumps again."
