Let me get this<\/a> straight. According to Ted Rall, George Bush may be behind Paul Wellstone’s death, even though Rall admits there’s no reason to think that he was, and even though Rall admits that the GOP thought he was vulnerable to defeat, certainly more vulnerable than any successor candidate. <\/p>\n

It’s also obviously suspicious to Rall that so many politicians die in plane crashes, even though it’s also understandable that it happens more frequently to politicians who rely so much on our Rall-admitted awful civil aviation system. And clearly the lack of black boxes (at least as reported) is suspicious, even though under other lights the Rall would be railing against shoddy regulation of the air industry.<\/p>\n

And, of course, the only reason we’re having this conversation, according to Rall, is because the Dubyans have created such an environment of divisiveness, of cruel, unfounded accusations and villification, nay, demonization of their opponents.<\/p>\n

Yeesh.<\/p>\n
