I Was Already Feeling Ashamed Enough, Thank You

...about Abu Ghraib. Now I have to read (on Michael Moore's website under "Latest News") that some fucking joker who calls himself a "lawyer" has argued that the naked Iraqi prisoner pyramid cannot possibly be considered abusive because "cheerleaders form pyramids all the time."

Um...yeah, except that they usually have their clothes on and are not being forced to do it at gunpoint.

Our bright shining light has also argued that the leashes are okay too, because after all, parents put tethers on their toddlers at the mall.

I'll leave it at that, except to say that I desperately wish I was making this up.
