You read things like this, and you think “Satire is dead.”

Three Oregon schoolteachers were ejected froma Bush rally and threatened with arrest for wearing t-shirts that said “Protect our Civil Liberties.” How much clearer can this administration’s contempt for the Constitution be?

I mean, just think about this for a minute: wearing a T-shirt that paraphrases part of the oath Bush took four years ago is grounds for ejection, presumably based on the assumption that anyone who lobbies for civil liberties MUST be anti-Bush. That assumption is incredibly telling.
