Did you see Bob Graham on Colbert last night? Some very valid and realistic points about Pakistan and how the Bush policies have have made us less safe.
But then...
COLBERT: "How scared should I be on scale of nine to ten?"
GRAHAM: "I would say that you better get out your duct tape."
COLBERT: "Really."
GRAHAM: "Lots of it."
Wrong! You don't say things like that on television if you're a very serious politician. Because then the American people get all, you know, hysterical. And if Graham was joking, then that's even worse. Let Stephen do the jokes. There's no reason whatsoever for talk like that from one of the authors of this report.
How about this: no more fear-mongering for a while. Hunt down the evildoers and be smart about tracking down loose nukes and WMD, sure. But enough with the duct tape!
