Stranger than fiction

By Owen Paine on Wednesday April 19, 2006 09:51 AM

Just a link to a fine article at Counterpunch -- a tale of two members of Congress, Lantos and McKinney. It's a must read, as if torn from the pages of Dickens. Perfect supporting cast of villains and oafs -- the harpies of AIPAC, the fat-necked capitol hill police.

And its also a tale of two caucuses -- one black and spineless, and the other mislabeled human, when it's only self-righteous.

In the episode of the run over foot reality commits a direct plagiarism from Tale of Two Cities. Watch Lantos morph from Pecksniffian fraud to noble vampire of the ancient regime -- amazing stuff.

Lantos is a scumbag. He also has been among the loudest opponents of Hugo Chavez. I had not heard the story of the run over foot before, but it does make for an intesting study in contrast, comparing that to what happened with Cynthia McKinney.

Note also that comments with three or more links may be held for "moderation" -- a strange term to apply to the ghost in this blog's machine. Seems to be a hard-coded limitation of the blog software, unfortunately.
