The Column that brought Billmon Back

Chris Sullentrop's column in Slate opens with his transcription of a bizarre cultlike chant known as "the Bush Pledge:"

I care about freedom and liberty. I care about my family. I care about my country. Because I care, I promise to work hard to re-elect, re-elect George W. Bush as president of the United States.

I guess it's too much to ask some Rethuglican out there to end the Bush Pledge with the Steve Martin line, "I promise not to repeat things other people say." (I think Martin's line was part of something called the "Non-Conformist Pledge").

Anyway, here's Billmon's take. Thanks to Swopa at Needlenose for pointing it out.
