Giving Bush's Retreads the Byrd

In the article "Giving Bush's Retreads the Byrd" Molly Ivins noted "In the magical upside-down world of right-wing blogs, it is now an accepted article of faith that Sen. Robert Byrd compared George W. Bush to Hitler last week."

Sen. Byrd's speeches on the "nuclear option" of cutting off Senate debate on judicial nominees have been very informative, and history lessons to us all. They are compelling and well worth the time spent reading them. We seem to have forgotten many of the lessons of history as we complacently watch the sanitized news on TV, and plug into the pap of reality TV, never spending much time reflecting upon the machinations of the Bush administration and the neocons. We ignore this at our peril. Sen. Byrd gives us history lessons not to be ignored.
