Joan Baez

The quote from Joan Baez on Bush is a classic of breathtaking fatuousness (link via Peter Briffa).

I think he’s a sociopath. He doesn’t care. He has no empathy. Nothing registers with him. He doesn’t understand the world’s disapproval – he just unplugs the TV. Now I understand, for the first time in my life, what the answer is when people ask, ‘Why didn’t people stop Hitler?’. It’s a reign of fear.

Good timing for the release of the new Christopher Guest film, “A Mighty Wind“.
