Matt Taibbi: Never bow, especially not to a politician."

"Common Sense told us to stand up straight, never bow, especially not to a politician because as Payne explained, and I want you all to think of John Kerry and Michael Hayden and Dick Cheney here, men who look upon themselves as born to reign and others to obey are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the Dominions.
And by the way, propaganda is the same trick. It's always someone else trying to make you feel bad for their mistakes, for their weakness. Don't go for it. Don't be ground down by it. Our traditions does stand up and give it back, which is why I say that Kerry, Hayden, Cheney, Adam Schiff, Craig Newmark, Reid Hoffman, Pierre Midy, and especially that time editor turned self-appointed censor, Rick Stengel, should be packed into a rocket and launched into the fucking sun."
