Shut up shut up shut up

Den Beste speaks:

"At a certain point, I think there's a tendency in any discussion on any issue to begin to feel like screaming, "SHUT UP, ALREADY!" at the other side. In the case of punishment for certain crimes, listening to endless demands for appeals and new trials, you'd scream "SHUT UP!" zorch!! and let Old Sparky have the last word.

"I would hope that good people would try to avoid giving in to that, but it's a natural impulse, and right now I'm feeling the same thing about Iraq. One reason I wish we'd start the war there is so that all of the world's whiners leaders would stick a fucking sock in it." [more]

I take heart that he only says it's one reason, and I know that he's intelligent enough to not take it as an overriding reason. But there is an amusing image of him in the presidential role going "la la la la la can't hear you, shut up shut up shut up" with his finger hovering over the Big Red Button.
