Repentant Conservatives and Neo-Cons

I listened to this guy on the NPR local affiliate today.

He is one of a slew of former Bush White House employees coming out saying that Bush is in the red zone, the "that is illegal, unconstitutional, and bad for the country" zone.

Ex-White House Lawyer Targets Spy Tactic
A former top lawyer for the Bush administration on Tuesday said that parts of the President Bush's controversial eavesdropping program were illegal.

There were certain aspects of the Terrorist Surveillance Program "that I could not find the legal support for," Jack Goldsmith, the former head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, told the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Will this affect anything? Not really. It will cement the certainty among Bush detractors, the vast majority of American people, that our mired in illusions president is indeed over the top and over the cliff, so out of touch with reality that it has become a thing to behold.

Like most conservatives though, this guy is still in extreme denial. Conservatives will talk endlessly about Iraq and the need to go after the terrorists. They are seemingly lacking the gene that will allow them to understand, or even contemplate for a moment, the neo-conservatives, the extremism that the neo-conservatives have foisted on the American people and the world, and how their neo-conservative agenda came into being way before 9-11. Now that is also a thing to behold.
