On the war, just about everyone. Except, of course the Republican half the Senate and Joe Lieberman, who for some reason are completely oblivious to the will of the American people.
The Right, at least in respect to George Bush's war, is gone. And I can say this with some degree of certainty because of something I read today in the Rightest of Right Wing newspapers, the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.
Scaife-Owned Newspaper Calls for Iraq Troop Withdrawal -- Questions Bush's 'Mental Stability'The Pittsburgh newspaper owned by conservative billionaire Richard Mellon Scaife yesterday called the Bush administration's plans to stay the course in Iraq a "prescription for American suicide."
The editorial in the Tribune-Review added, "And quite frankly, during last Thursday's news conference, when George Bush started blathering about 'sometimes the decisions you make and the consequences don't enable you to be loved,' we had to question his mental stability."
It continued: "President Bush warns that U.S. withdrawal would risk 'mass killings on a horrific scale.' What do we have today, sir?
"If the president won't do the right thing and end this war, the people must. The House has voted to withdraw combat troops from Iraq by April. The Senate must follow suit.
"Our brave troops should take great pride that they rid Iraq of Saddam Hussein. And they should have no shame in leaving Iraq. For it will not be, in any way, an exercise in tail-tucking and running.
"America has done its job.
"It's time for the Iraqis to do theirs."
If you're not familiar with Mr. Scaife's flagship rag, The Trib is the paper that made a name for itself by attacking our THK. So typically, I would just tell Mr. Scaife to "shove it".
But not today. Either someone from the competition snuck in an editorial, or even the fishwrapper otherwise known as the Trib wants to end this war.
OK, I have no video of Richard Mellon Scaife, and I can't find any. Something about cameras and mirrors not capturing his image. I offer no apology.
BUT, as this is a video blog, and I feel obligated to give you something to watch, I do have a video of a great cross section of America marching against Bush's war, set to some incredible music performed by my friend Cisco of mcworm. And because it's a video blog about John Kerry, well, watch the video. What anti-war march would be complete without the Senator's famous 1971 quote?

Are we calling Scaife a malevolent spirit, a vampire, the Devil? I should have known the reason for never having seen him, beyond reclusive.
They realize the politics are not behind them, and I wish they felt having to change policy, and some remorse, for other reasons.
Maybe just tired of all that failure. Always other countries and continents to plunder. Africa next?
This site is making me reconsider my dial-up. Good work, KV.
