More extensive child abuse than any committed by Polanski is the child abuse committed by Madeleine Albright:

“Did Maddow ask about Albright’s help in the starvation of a million Iraqis because of Saddam Hussein’s “WMDs”? Nope. Her statement that the killing of 400,000 Iraqi children through murderous Bush I-Clinton I sanctions was “worth it”? Nope. Meanwhile, Albright hopes to help kill Iranian children and adults because of Iranian “WMDs,” and Maddow is helping her. Can you believe I was dumb enough, when I listened to her old radio show, to think Maddow was pro-peace? Is she a neocon like Albright? No. Like virtually all progressives, she is a bloodthirsty warmonger when the Democrats do the murder.”

My Comment

I’d correct the “all progressives” part. I think many progressives were unhappy with the sanctions, but didn’t know where else to go but the Democrat party. They’re just not convinced that the right is sufficiently critical of the corporate part of the corporate-state. I’ve always thought Rachel Maddow was smart. But she’s too much a part of the academic-government complex to criticize it effectively.
