Two Down, ? to Go!

Are these two rats leaving a sinking ship?

Who cares, as long as they are leaving.

George Bush Hates America

I heard on the radio this morning that a critic referred to George Bush as "brain-dead" in response to the Scooter Libby fiasco. Some of those on the panel thought this kind of language was a little too extreme to use for a sitting president. Well, I've gone way past that. I fully believe that George Bush hates the America that most of us love. You don't have to agree with me, but you do have to seriously consider the things he has done to try to undermine the whole system of government. All you really have to consider are his supreme court nominees. Specifically, if he cared about the way the court is supposed to operate why would he have ever considered nominating Harriet Myers. At least in that case there was enough public outcry to make him withdraw the nomination. His nominations for attorney general were, are, and will be a total disgrace. Ashcroft was an absolute failure, but at least he seemed to honest and knew that the wiretaps were illegal. Gonzales is not only a failure, but a liar. How sad it is when the man who is supposed to lead the "Justice" department has no concept of what justice means. His nominee to the UN was designed to undermine the US presence there. The few people of quality that he allowed into his cabinet have resigned in disgust. General after general has resigned from the military so they can openly comment on the fiasco in the defense department. Who can forget, "way to go, Brownie." I could go on but it's too depressing. I hope the country can survive another year and a half in the hands of a man who hates what it stands for.

The Pseudo-Justice Department

The disgrace of the so-called Justice Department just gets worse and worse everytime someone who worked there in the past few years opens his/her mouth. The outright lies that have been revealed in testimony before congress should be stirring the American people to run them out of town on a rail or tar and feather them or some other appropriate actions. But the shrub just keeps saying, they are doing a find job, just like brownie did in NO. The best commentary I have seen on this mess came from none other than John Stewart on The Daily Show last week. When, after showing a series of clips of the AG, AG contradicting himself over and over again, Stewart grabs his head and cries, "They're shitting in my head!"

He nailed it.
