"If you set aside Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, the safety record of nuclear is really very good." Outgoing Treasury secretary Paul O'Neill, as quoted in The New York Times. Impeccable logic for our times.

That's like saying, "If you set aside support for the Taliban, the intelligence failures of 9/11/01, the anthrax attacks on Democratic senators, the casino-toilet economy, job loss for millions, the disappearance of billions of citizens' 401(k) and IRA dollars, the non-prosecution of accounting and corporate deviants, the Leave-No-CEO-Behind fundraising, untold damage to America's reputation internationally, the Pharmaceutical Homeland Security legislation, oil exploration in Alaska and the redrock Southwest, the incessant erosion of civil liberties, the parallel legal system for 'terrorists,' the continued existence and influence of Al Qaeda, and the Cheney-led secret energy cabal, the record of the Bush administration is really very good."

It's fun to watch corporate toadies fighting. However, no doubt the replacement robot will be worse than the original.
