Olympics

Bush must have been bored Presidenting at the Olympics, so he had to start fidgeting with the American flag:

Sam Brownback is furious over China eavesdropping on internet communications. Here he is expressing his outrage to Wolf Blitzer:

Yes - how dare they eavesdrop on people! That should only be allowed here in the U.S., where Brownback supports it. This is another shining example of Republican hypocrisy, and another reason why America is frowned upon by so many in the world. We act like the superior nation, and this "practice as I preach, not as I do" attitude is going to cost us.

Think Progress has much more.
