Rall Sends Ronnie to Hell

So Rall gets off yesterday. Today, he defends his:

. . .'crispy brown' comment and said it was made 'to get people to understand that the right is attempting to canonize this guy, and it is ridiculous. If there is a hell, this guy is in it.'

Beautiful. Just beautiful. I should hope that not everybody wants to speak ill of the dead, but then again, there is Morrissey jonseying for some attention, Hitchens taking a few more pot shots, Palast working the Gipper over and the feminist left and gay factions likely popping campaign this week. Compassion, indeed.

Rall is the same guy who described Pat Tillman as a:

cog in a low-rent occupation army that shot more innocent civilians than terrorists to prop up puppet rulers and exploit gas and oil resources.

Nice. When I'm dead, if he's still around I'd like Rall to do my eulogy as well. Maybe he can say equally nice things about me. Maybe something along the lines of:

"Here lies a Carpetblogger who, turning from the truth towards the religious right extremists during college, probably means that he's working up a good tan down there in Hell, where he belongs. It's too bad he was duped by the military-industrial-religious-right-NRA complex into voting for Republicans and writing politically conservative blog entries that really meant nothing to anybody. In the end he was just a useful cog for the Halliburton-Raytheon-Mobil junta. Bush KNEW!

You see? I can be a leftie too!
