Here is what is wrong with former cokeheads who pose as tough guys. President Bush is the biggest pussy I can think of at the moment. He goes to a foreign country, Israel, and talks shit about people that are about to run this country.
He goes before the Israeli parliament and goes full douche bag and states that Sen. Barack Obama and Democrats favor a policy of appeasement toward terrorists. On the same day he is comparing Obama, and Democrats in general, to Nazi sympathizers for wanting to deal realistically with Iran, his Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, said the U.S. should engage Iran with “a combination of incentives and pressure.” Adding, "We need to figure out a way to develop some leverage . . . and then sit down and talk with them.” Read it here.
So the military guys say we should engage Iran. Bush the non-military guy talks complete shit and thinks he's some kind of diplomat for ignoring Iran. What would have happened if Obama went to Israel or Pakistan and talked shit about Bush? Such a double standard.
Lastly, what has Bush's policy done in the past 8 years? As far as Israel is concerned he ignored the Palestinian situation for the first 7 years and he has created more chaos and terrorism in that region than any other person. All while driving the US dollar into the ground. What a dick.

Ambassador Crocker Is A Dick
Today, the Democratic Policy Committee held a hearing on the U.S. reconstruction effort in Iraq and corruption in the Iraqi government. Here's what Judge Arthur Brennan, the former director of the Office of Accountability and Transparency (OAT) in Iraq, had to say about Ambassador Crocker when asked by Senator McCaskill:
MCCASKILL: "And so, what we’re learning today is that SIGIR, the information we’re getting from SIGIR is not, in fact, always factual, that sometimes it is being spun by Ambassador Crocker and that it is your testimony today that Ambassador Crocker knows the level of corruption in the Iraqi government and has failed to be honest with the American people about it."
BRENNAN: "If he doesn’t know, then he’s negligent. If he does know, then he’s intentionally misleading Congress and the American public."
Complete story here.
Additionally, James Mattil, who worked with Brennan, agreed with Brennan’s assessment, blaming the Bush administration for failing to demand greater action on corruption: “It seems reasonable to conclude that the reasons are either, gross incompetence, willful negligence or political intent on the part of the Bush administration and more specifically, the Department of State,” he said.
So Condi Rice has been lying to us. She was a disaster as National Security Advisor and she is a disaster as Secretary of State.
Would love to hear what Karl Rove/Brit Hume/Bill O’s take on this is.

Domestic Wiretapping Has Little Effect
Via ThinkProgress
While “the number of Americans being secretly wiretapped” or having their records reviewed by the government continues to increase, “the number of terrorism prosecutions ending up in court” has continued to decline. Experts say that the trends are evidence that “the government has compromised the privacy rights of ordinary citizens without much to show for it.”
Where is the oversight on these programs? The junta running the US has can put these things into place because they have the fear factor behind them. But when they are not finely re-tuned and constantly reviewed, they have no value. Add the "no warrants needed" element that Bush loves and it's just ridiculous what we give up as Americans in the name of freedom. Double speak a la 1984 at its' best.
LA Times article on it.

Faith In Next Generation
Can honestly say I did not expect to see a brotha at the Jenna Bush wedding, let alone the guy that is marrying them. I'm used to expecting the unexpected from the First Family, usually on the negative "sign your soul over to the devil" side. Give it up to Bush's kids for keepin' it real. A little back story to warm your heart. The Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell of Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston is the man pictured who officiated at the ceremony. To keep it really real, Mr. Caldwell, a longtime religious adviser to Mr. Bush, has endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President.
Right on!

Who Knew? OJ Killed Her
Not to take up anymore time on this subject than needs to be, but I find it funny that this is news. OJ Simpson killed ex-wife Nicole with a knife she had in her hand when she answered the door. He confessed to a friend, his ex-manager, while high on marijuana.
Newsflash!
Other Newsflashes ad infinitum that continue to shock those in denial with reality: there were no WMD in Iraq and Bush did cocaine and booze his whole life.

Weekly Standard Is For Assholes
Got this gem from ThinkProgress:
Writing on the Weekly Standard’s blog yesterday, Michael Goldfarb said that he doesn’t “care” if President Bush’s policies have been a “recruiting tool for terrorists“:
"As to whether Bush is a recruiting tool for terrorists–who cares? Al Qaeda was recruiting before Bush was in office and they will continue to do so after he’s gone. The important thing is that we keep killing those recruits. Eventually, one side will give up."
Justin Logan at Cato-at-Liberty points out Goldfarb’s flawed logic, noting that it justifies doing anything that is counterproductive because “after all, al Qaeda will continue recruiting whether we do it or not.”
Michael Goldfarb is a dick
The best they can do is "who cares". The one thing they can't say is "no, it was not helpful in recruiting." So conversely it was very helpful in recruiting. Therefore, Bush was helpful in recruiting terrorists.
Does the "who cares" apply to tax cuts for rich people? Well I know it applied to New Orleans.

McCain Very Liberal About His Own Campaign Financing
Just like most conservatives who are liberal about what torture is, what global warming is, what an insurgency is, you can now add obeying your own campaign finance reform to the list. McCain was for reform, then against it. Allowing $70,000 in individual contributions by channeling the money into different McCain-centric funds vs the $2300 limit set by campaign finance laws sounds like a liberal approach to integrity by McSame. And I'm not saying it’s illegal, just that the man who claimed to champion campaign finance reform is subverting the goals of his own legislation, thus, proving to be a hypocrite.

With a legacy like the Keating Five Saving and Loan scandal [google it], is it any wonder that scared white elitist Grampy will do or say anything for money.

Net Neutrality I Can Deal With
As a user of the internet, net neutrality is a big issue for me. I do not want big companies deciding what is best for me. Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee John Conyers agrees with me and has introduced a new bill protecting the basic concept that would require U.S. broadband providers to operate their networks "in a reasonable and nondiscriminatory manner so that all content, applications and services are treated the same and have an equal opportunity to reach consumers."
Furthermore, "If we allow companies with monopoly or duopoly power to control how the Internet operates, network providers could have the power to choose what content is available," Conyers said in a statement.
The main difference between parties is that Democrats are for neutrality, Republicans are against it and want big business to shit on us and makes tons of loot.

Grampy McCain Forgets His Voting Record
Wouldn't the Maverick be better off just admitting he did not vote for Bush in 2000? I mean Bush kicked him in the balls with push polling in the South that cost him the nomination. And McSame has said he is the biggest critic of Bush's baby, the Iraq War. It would make sense that he does not like him.
Now McSame is being called out for lying about denying. What to do? In classic Republican form, "deny, deny, deny" is the M.O. and for the most part his people will not see that this is an example of his revisionist "old-timers disease". It's quaint to them. He forgets who he voted for. He forgets who Sunnis and Shias are. He craps his pants. All in a day for the 71 year old future of the GOP.
The Maverick is a dick.
"I'm poking cotton, W, gritting my teeth seems to be helping"

Letterman Zings Hillary
David Letterman uses the classic 51st State of Denial gag.
LETTERMAN: That is a true story. You can look that up. You can — [sic]bblllpphh. So here is what happened on Tuesday. Hillary Clinton barely won my home state of Indiana. And she lost in the State of North Carolina. But here is the good news. She has a substantial lead in the state of denial. Thank you so much.
LETTERMAN: I was thinking about this. And I’m no political genius. I’m no pundit but it occurred to me that Hillary Clinton has one thing in common with President Bush. Neither of them has an exit strategy. There you go.From CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman, broadcast May 8, 2008

Olbermann: The point of the war in Iraq is to make sure there is war
Keith Olbermann hits at the heart of the flawed reasoning for staying in Iraq.
“And there it is, in all its beautiful, elliptical, symmetrical, asinine Bushian glory,” Olbermann concluded.
“If fewer Americans die in Iraq, that’s because the surge is working. If more Americans die in Iraq, that’s also because the surge is working. And if the surge is working, the troops have to stay longer to solidify its gains. And if the surge isn’t working, the troops have to stay longer to make sure it starts working.”
“And the point of the war in Iraq is to make sure there is a war in Iraq.”
And the reason that there was never an exit strategy is becuase they never want to leave. We have 26 bases being built throughout Iraq. It's what the US does so well. Did that ever come up in a debate?

Put A Fork In Her
Hil, it's 3am and your nomination is toast. The pundits are chiming in:
Tim "Pumkinhead" Russert of NBC News: “We now know who the Democratic nominee’s going to be, and no one’s going to dispute it.”
Bob Schieffer on the CBS News program “Early Show”: “Basically, Maggie, this race is over.”
Bob Franken, the political analyst, told the MSNBC host Dan Abrams shortly after 2 a.m. Eastern time, “Let’s put it right on the table: It’s over. It’s over.”
Small People Big World star George Stephanopoulos on the ABC program “Good Morning America”: “This nomination fight is over.”

Now it's time to crush Grampy McCain.

McSame Challenge
See if you can tell the difference between Grandpa John McCain and George Bush over the years. It's not that they are the same, both try to out duel each other on key issues, seeing who could be the worst. And with the benefit of hindsight, it's troubling that McCain would want to cary on so many failed ideals. Ah, senility.
Take the test here.

Condi Must Go
http://condimustgo.com/
Lying under oath regarding US torture policies is a crime. Watch the video and feel your patriotic, "the military is fighting to defend our way of life" nuts being smashed by Condi's unrelenting lies. Don't trust people with bucked teeth!
My way of life does not include torture, so how can the military use it to protect me? Would you use racism to protect my non-racist lifestyle?
I know it's too late in the game and the damage is done, but sign the petition for her resignation in the above link.
