(He didn't do it on purpose, of course.)
According to Bill-O, the world would be a scary, scary, scary place if Edwards is elected president:
Remember, no coerced interrogation, civilian lawyers in courts for captured overseas terrorists, no branding the Iranian guards terrorists, and no phone surveillance without a specific warrant.
That sounds suspiciously like the vision of a world where the President of the United States actually preserves, protects, and defends the Constitution of the United States. And we all know that's the last thing that we can afford, right?

You really gotta love Billo. The last time I heard from him he had a segment on the efficacy of "coerced interrogation" (read: torture) is getting reliable information from detainees. As guests he has Michael "human rights is a flexible concept" Scheuer, architect of the extraordinary rendition program, and George Tenet. Predictably, they both told him that torture was totally effective and necessary for victory in the "War on Terror". I guess in Billo-Land it is somehow hard hitting journalism to take two known advocates of torture at their word on the results of a non-transparent and probably illegal activity.
Mr. Falafel is afraid of everyone and everything.
With all my love,
