This feels so wrong. I’m dreadfully anxious as Rachel Maddow’s
big reveal grows closer. If my interpretation of common perception is correct,
I should be feeling smug – gloating even – about this huge opportunity to say, “I
told you so.”
But this isn’t like being the one who correctly identified
the lead singer in an old song, or guessing the exact number of miles before the
next exit. This is about something that matters greatly and I’m fairly certain that
anyone to whom I could smugly say, “I told you so,” will never believe the
truth. This is not fun.
I plan to watch MSNBC’s film, Hubris, hosted by Rachel
Maddow and based on Michael Isikoff and David
Corn's book, tonight (February 18, 2013, 9 p.m.) although I will be shocked if I learn
anything that I didn’t already know years ago. Scars will break open as I
remember the many times and many ways I tried to convince others to pay
attention because the Bush Administration lied and cost us lives, money, and
reputation. And I will know that those people will not see this documentary or
believe anyone who tries to tell them about it. They will continue to live in
the dark, pulling their heads out of their sorry asses only long enough to
ridicule others for caring about facts and to share more fear-mongering bushit that they
learned from the Brietbart lie machine - since even Republican
politicians admit that's where they are getting their lies these days.
If anyone else still communicates with people
who call themselves Republicans, I hope you will invite them to watch the Rachel Maddow show tonight, on MSNBC, at 9 central time.
UPDATE: As expected, I learned nothing new. This information was available to all who were paying attention at the time. I'm still glad I watched because this film was nice to see all if this information collected and presented so nicely, some from the mouths of people involved. Today, I wonder why no action was taken against the people who lied us into this costly (on many levels) mistake.
