American Airlines' executive team

Donald Rumsfeld and the looting

Bush, for lying to Tony Blair...promising the United Nations would have a major role in rebuilding

Fundamentalist Christian missionaries...going to Iraq to convert the hapless heathen.

As my buddy, Kevin, says, "It's funny that Ivins was not seen in the Chronicle for the duration of the war. She's back today slamming 'em down and takin' names!"
