Some recent stories to chat about:
Bush thinks Frist is running for re-election to the Senate (he’s not).
David Safavian, former Bush administration official, is convicted on four counts of a five count indictment for obstruction of justice and lying to investigators.
The two soldiers kidnapped in Iraq are found dead.
RFK Jr. is planning a litigation strategy with his lawyers with regards to the 2004 election.
Gary Hart calls out Democrats in Congress (with a few notable exceptions) for their lack of vision, integrity and courage on Iraq.
A Dubai company still controls US ports despite Republican promises to the contrary.
Or pick your own topic.
Everyone knows Bush is clueless. More newsworthy is that these seem to have been prepared remarks to supporters, which means his speechwriters don’t pay attention to politics either. Is anyone in the White House competent?
I predicted this in a comment here months ago, though I’m guessing several hundred other posters were equally cynical. We should have a contest to try to find at least one thing the administration has actually told the truth about.
Bush when he said: “If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier – just so long I’m the dictator.”
Wasn’t that from December of 2000, after the Supreme Court gave him the election? If so, the Clinton administration was still in office then.
I think you’re headed in the right direction though. Cheney in particular seems to enjoy being brutally honest about their quest for unlimited executive power.
Ok
How bout Bush saying US isn’t leaving Iraq so long as he is President.
Sounds like a winner, especially since no one else seems to have any interest in playing.
“I’m the Decider”
Well, I guess he is the decider since that word is useless.
Good stuff.
The rap sheets just keep on growing with this Adminstration. Whether it’s lying about reasons to go to war, illegal outing of CIA operatives, unconstitutional wiretapping, illegally attacking phone system of Dem’s in New England on election day and doing it out of the White House, etc., etc., etc. There aren’t enough e’s, t’s, and c’s to catalog the sheer villainy of this crowd.
RFK, Jr. might be channeling his Dad: I hope he “bulldogs” this issue like his Papa did Jimmy Hoffa. All progressives should support him openly and vociferously to expose election theft and innoculate against it in the future.
Gary Hart is stating the obvious, and hasn’t he pretty much demonstrated that he’s a fucking idiot back in the ’84 election? (Was it ’84?)
Now Tony (it’s a number) Snow doesn’t have to worry about too much focus on the missing GIs.
The US (as represented by this administration) doesn’t care at all about the Iraqis and only cares about the troops to the extent it’s politically required.
Expect more deaths, more crimes committed by an army without a purpose and more billions (trillions) down the toilet that is US policy in the middle east.
No one knows better that Robert Kennedy how dangerous it is to stick one’s head up on important issues. I am constantly amazed and inspired by his devotion to us. I only wish more people got that, and returned it in kind. He, Al Gore, Russ Feingold, and John Conyers, are the kind of people I’d follow into the fire. Most don’t even recognize that kind of integrity and leadership.
