Click here for a John Amato article at Crooks & Liars entitled "Jeb Bush Hires Same Foreign Policy Experts That Lied US Into The Iraq War."
His campaign announced a list of 21 foreign policy advisers; 20 of them served in the administrations of Reagan, Bush I, and W. He's surrounded himself with the same neocon hawks who got the U.S. into this horrible foreign policy mess in the first place.
I was unable to copy the Venn Diagram originally published in the Washington Post showing the overlap of this crowd, so click here for a link to the WaPo article, including a more easily read copy of the diagram.

February 5 - Happy Birthday, Adlai Stevenson!
[Lifted from Bill in Portland Maine of Crooks & Liars, Cheers and Jeers -- as was the previous post, the PuppyCam.] Some quotes:
"A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation. " "I have been thinking that I would make a proposition to my Republican friends... that if they will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop telling the truth about them."And I love this:
We travel together, passengers on a little space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft. We cannot maintain it half fortunate, half miserable, half confident, half despairing, half slave to the ancient enemies of man, half free in a liberation of resources undreamed of until this day. No craft, no crew can travel with such vast contradictions. On their resolution depends the survival of us all.
