Today's News

The truth hurts and the apologists are cranking up again..from this weekends correspondents dinner:

DOOCY: He was playing a good sport as his body double was there. But shortly after that, the paid performer, Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report, took the stage and did about 15 minutes and it was very uncomfortable. Personally I felt like he went over the line. Today in Lloyd Grove's column, he says that Colbert bombed badly. It was not very funny.

I guess humor is a matter of taste cuz I thought it was pretty good. Bush needs to be very uncomfortable everytime he shows his face. Then he could "feel our pain". As one of the commenters on the above post said. I remember Bush making a joke about not finding weapons of mass destruction. I didn't think that was very funny. These people are so uncomfortable with reality because it serves them poorly. Here's the video.

Marching in the wrong streets.
Hundreds of thousands of mostly Hispanic immigrants skipped work and took to the streets Monday, flexing their economic muscle in a nationwide boycott .
These people are willing to put their freedom on the line. Why don't they do it in their homeland. Do they really have the pride in Mexico and the Mexican people that they profess? They need you in Mexico to save your country! March there. It will benefit you and us far more than what you are doing.

The march they forgot to cover:
A day after the U.S. military announced that April was the deadliest month for American forces in Iraq this year, hundreds of thousands of anti-war protesters converged on Manhattan Saturday to call for an immediate withdrawal of troops from that country.
Do you find it unusual that there is little coverage of this....oh those goofy war protesters again. You know, the ones who were correct and the ones to be listening to if your decider was working correctly. By the way. Today is the anniversary of Mission Accomplished. Apparently a flight suit and codpiece does not a military genius make.

Here's another story about our biggest problem. At least if the Constitution is a vital part of America for you.
WASHINGTON -- President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws enacted since he took office, asserting that he has the power to set aside any statute passed by Congress when it conflicts with his interpretation of the Constitution.
What can I say that hasn't already been said. This is flat out, blatant powermongering. No one should have the power he claims. Especially someone who has proved to be a very poor decider. This cabal is destroying this country and the so called "patriots" who support him are laughable for even thinking what they are doing is remotely close to patriotic. It will be a sad day for America if he is not stopped. Thank You Russ Feingold for making the attempt.

Sean Hannity loves to say that Clinton turned down Bin Laden. Of course the story is far more complicated but that is all Seans' fans can or want to cram in their reactionary brains. Now we find that Bush could have had Al Zarqawi. Turned it down Sean...flat turned it down.
A former top CIA spy says the United States deliberately turned down several opportunities to kill terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in the lead-up to the Iraq war....... He has told the ABC's Four Corners program the Bush administration had Zarqawi in its sights almost every day for a year. "The reasons the intelligence service got for not shooting Zarqawi was simply that the President and the National Security Council decided it was more important not to give the Europeans the impression we were gunslingers," he said.
Opps, bad decider. The actions taken made us out as gunslingers anyway. I'm sure wingnuttia will defile and defame this guy for messing up their illusions. That and/or find some apologist wackitatia to reinforce the "rightness" of George and wrongness of Bill.

Well more proof of a defective decider. Colin Powell urged more troops. As a matter of fact I think the Powell Doctrine supports overwhelming force.
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell urged President Bush before the Iraq war to send more troops to the country, but the administration did not follow his recommendation.
They decided not to take the advice of someone who had actually won a war. ... Bad decision to go in, bdecisionson on combat, bad decision on aftermath. Decider needs new batteries. More here.

Wingnuttia continues to insist that Ms. Wilson(Plame) was not undercover. Those with the ability to read the facts know better. Those with the ability to read also know that she was working Iran'sans weapons of mass destruction program.
On Chris Matthews' Hardball Monday evening...MSNBC correspondent David Shuster confirmed what RAW STORY first reported in February: that outed CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson was working on Iran at the time she was outed.
RAW STORY's Larisa Alexandrovna broke the story earlier this year, which went unnoticed by the mainstream media.
Geez every thing this cabal touches turns to S*it. It's almost like they are jinxed. Or they are just horrible deciders. Their idea of Gods way seems to be frought with pitfalls.

There goes our money for rebuilding the Gulf Coast.
A US congressional inspection team set up to monitor reconstruction in Iraq today publishes a scathing report of failures by contractors, mainly from the US, to carry out projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
In one case, the inspection team found that three years after the invasion only six of 150 health centres proposed for Iraq had been completed by a US contractor, in spite of 75% of the $186m (£100m) allocated having been spent.
Why are we trying to rebuild a country that is in the midst of a civil war? Lets save America first.

Will he be "saved by zero"?

Rush settlement
Before his own problems became public, Limbaugh had decried drug use and abuse, often making the case that drug crimes deserve punishment.
The apologist argumentment is that he was under intense pain. Perhaps those "street" people he wants to see go to jail are in intense pain of another kind. Face it, he's a hypocriticalital drug addict, among other things.

A couple of notes. Seems no one, including wingnuttia is to thrilled with the Republican 100 dollar rebate idea as a solution to the gas crisis. They will keep pushing for more drilling. Hopefully the opposition will stand up for a fullthroated drive toward alternatives and conservation. Oil..it's so 20th century and the people that push it have a seriously pre 9/11 mindset.

Mad yet?
