An Iraqi woman cries over the loss of her vegetable stand in last week's Sadr City market bombing.

I'm listening to dickhead give his Chicago press conference and looking at this picture simultaneously and it makes me really, really angry that we have a fucker for preznit who just doesn't get the amount of suffering he has caused around the world w/ his idiotic policies.

They hate us because we have free markets, while they do not.

Yeah. It two things that caught me. First, this old woman losing her means of support and what that means for her family.

And the look on the boy's face. He will never forgive America.

And, Reality Based, I caught the tail end of the press conf. It was very weird. Gonna post on it when I find the transcript. Looking now.

CNBC's post-conference analysis was: Bush hated being there, he hated taking questions on his failed North Korea, Iraq, and economic policies, and they're desperate to turn things around before November but as long as iraq keeps heading south, it ain't gonna happen.

In other words, same old same old.

I did like the Pat Fitzgerald questions they asked him: a) Was he planning to reappoint Fitz as special counsel (Bush says he hadn't thought about the question and would get back on it) and b) now that Fitz looked like he was heading up the food chain toward the "Honorable Richard M. Daley " in the Chicago patronage case, did Bush still respect Daley? (Bush did.)

Good stuff...
