Amazing Feats of Republican Logic

Newly-elected Arkansas GOP chairman Dennis Milligan:

“At the end of the day, I believe fully the president is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001], and the naysayers will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by men and women to protect this country.”

So, let's see, another catastrophic attack on U.S. soil will show us all how well Bush is protecting us from another catastrophic attack on U.S. soil.... Fucking brilliant. (Full interview here.)
