Meltdown? - Bush's free ride is over

It’s not just the CIA scandal. The latest data on jobs, poverty and the uninsured are all combining to paint a picture of a Bush administration in disarray.

The zeitgeist is shifting. Liberal books are moving up the best-seller list. Rush Limbaugh is getting disparaged for racial insensitivity and allegedly buying illegal drugs. And the controversy over administration officials leaking the identity of an undercover CIA operative has put conservatives in the indefensible position of condoning treason.

THE SPY STORY engulfing the White House is the catalyst for the Bush meltdown. But we wouldn’t be obsessing over who sanctioned and spread political dirt if the Bush team had found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. The ballooning scandal is a symptom and not the cause of Bush’s problems.
Bush staged the most elaborate and expensive coup d’etat in history. All he did was remove Saddam Hussein from power. With no WMD uncovered and American soldiers dying daily in Iraq, the president’s policies—along with his credibility—are in tatters.

Good one, thanks!!

" Instead of landing on the USS Lincoln, he should have landed in the well of Congress and said this was only the beginning of a long, hard struggle. In addition to worrying about civil war in Iraq between the Sunnis and the Shiites, the dam has broken here at home. The career intelligence professionals at the CIA, closing ranks around one of their own, are openly warring against the administration ideologues. Caught in the cross-fire, Bush's free ride is over."

Let's hope Eleanor Cliff is right about this.

A Senate GOP backer of the Iraq war says the Justice Department probe is eroding voter confidence in the president. “Bush promised to restore honor and integrity to the Oval Office. This is diminishing him. He looks smaller, less commanding.” The GOP source says he is disgusted by White House efforts to tar Wilson as an antiwar partisan. “The administration moves from honor and integrity to slime and defend,” says this Republican.

you freakin' believe it? :kick:

"Bush staged the most elaborate and expensive coup d’etat in history."

Also true that Bush staged the most elaborate and expensive coup d’etat of the Presidency in history.

The coup in Washington in 2000 and the overthrow of Evildoer Saddam were both staged by the PNAC puppet masters pulling the Puppet-in-Chief's puppet strings from behind the curtains. Shrub has a hard enough time finding his ass in the dark wtih both hands. Not bloody likely he'd have the wherewithall to stage coups.

Thanks for posting that.
Ya made my day!

There goes the pendulum.

you turn the radio dial on the AM dial, and cruise from one conservative hate-radio station to the next, and all you hear is screeching and lambasting. It seems that they're all very upset that the Democrats are 'attacking their man' for no reason, and they're 'tearing this country apart', and those awful 'liberals'.

I can't remember when I've heard them quite this upset, so you can be guaranteed we're causing a stir.

Scroll down all the way to the bottom and give it a '7'! Right now, it's not even showing in the top 10 -- let's change that!
