Woa, excuse me! I spoke too soon about there being three celebrity deaths in this month of December. Now they've hung Saddam, that makes four.
Nice to know that his execution is such an important step towards establishing democracy in Iraq, according to Mr. Bush's handlers. Yeah right.
I heard some think tank wonk holding forth on NPR, telling us that some people oppose capital punishment on principle, but it is appropriate in "extraordinary circumstances" such as these. You know, like when there is incontrovertible proof that you're responsible for the death of thousands of innocents. If that's so, it would be only fitting to apply that same logic here at home. I oppose the death penalty, but I have to admit it might be kind of cool to watch the hangings of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush on Fox. Over and over again.
