As If "No Child Left Behind" Wasn't Bad Enough....

Education Secretary Rod Paige called the nation's largest teachers union a "terrorist organization" during a private White House meeting with governors on Monday. I don't know about you, but hearing that the Secretary of Education has such a poor grasp of reality that he would call the NEA a terrorist organization gets my blood at the boiling level. Excuse me Mr "cook the books" Paige, you have NO RIGHT to smear teachers like that when the administration you belong to still hasn't brought the real terrorists behind 9/11 to justice. You can disagree with the NEA all you want, but you went way over the line by putting them in the same category as people who murder thousands of innocents. I think this joker needs to resign, now.

Resign, Rod Paige. You've proven that you have no business being part of the government.

This shocking development in our pathetic excuse for a government was brought to my attention by the ever watching Atrios. I thought that nothing Bush's administration could pull would surprise me anymore, but this insult just proves that there are no depths to which Bush and co won't stoop.
