A Memorandum of misinformation The Kansas City Star Posted on Sat, Apr. 05, 2008 Opinion by R. C. Lokeman The Kansas City Star.
"In case you doubt that we are subjects of an imperial presidency, a recently released Justice Department memo has confirmed it.
This administration has found no shortage of little men and women in high places willing to betray their country and what it stands for just to score political capital and a tenuous place in history.

"Since when do we give Congressmen the right to call foreign assistance "two bits" and demean their help? On one hand, the US Government wants us to believe that we are attempting to allow Iraqi forces to control themselves, but then they think we should allow them to call them "two bit"s and demean them on our shores? I don't think so: It doesn't work that way."

"...by not allowing him to enter the gym without “proper credentials,” according to McHenry’s own telling of the story to an audience of some 160 Republicans."
