Triumph of the Puritans (GOP Style)

The War on Porn is “one of the top priorities” of Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales according to the Washington Post. Perhaps the Bush Administration thinks that if they keep trying they will find a war they can actually win. Many FBI agents are making fun of this:

“I guess this means we’ve won the war on terror,” said one exasperated FBI agent, speaking on the condition of anonymity because poking fun at headquarters is not regarded as career-enhancing. “We must not need any more resources for espionage.”

They shouldn’t be surprised. This comes from an administration which was reelected by convincing enough people that keeping two guys or girls from marrying each other is a higher priority than providing affordable health care, reducing the amount we owe to China and Japan, or working to reduce outsourcing of jobs.
