"It's just a number"
Asked about today's milestone of the 2,500th victim of Bush's war, White House spokesman Tony Snow replied "It's just a number".
Well, no, actually, that's 2,500 lives snuffed out over a lie , a grudge and some fever dreams of empire.
And there's your 'party of moral values' right there, mocking the deaths of other people's children; because the wealthy, fat and arrogant Beltway elite that rules us these days definitely isn't going to get its Guccis dirty in a hellhole like Iraq, or take its kids out of their legacy admissions to Andover, Yale and Harvard to do poor people's work.
