The "F" Word

Not that "F" word, silly. I'm talking about Fascist.

Fascist gets used so much these days that it is losing its shock value just like that other notorious "F" word.

Still, President Bush's intention to veto a defense spending bill that contains banning the "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" of prisoners will tempt some people into using it.

I'll defer using either "F" word myself, but merely wonder about the continued isolation of President Bush since the ban has received overwhelming support in the Senate and outside by military leaders.
