OK, I agree with AL Franken, completely!!!!!!!!!

I used to believe Georgie Boy was a nitwit surrounded by evil doers but now I truly believe he is just as guilty, if not more so.
Franken wrote, "I think we are all too ready to blame Karl Rove, or Dick Cheney, or Ari Fleischer, or Gale Norton, or Donald Rumsfeld, or John Ashcroft when this administration does something despicable. When South Carolinians get push polls saying John McCain fathered an illegitimate black child, you know Karl Rove had something to do with it. But it's really Bush."

I've been dissecting speeches of Georgie et al, the truth, only Cheney has made the links everyone is talking about, not Junior, Rummy, or Rice. They have magnificently played a word association game with the public. Georgie knows exactly what he's doing.

However, I still believe the cards need to fall in the proper order.
I would have liked to see Rummy go first but I'll settle for Cheney.
Rummy's next.

"...Barbara Bush's son. And I'm through with him."

"Another motherfucker in a motorcade!"

Ignorance/stupidity been their greatest defense. The "liberal" media has been making excuses for pretzel-dunce all along. Same as they did for Reagan.

Anything that gang of thugs has done has been done with the approval, before or after the fact, of that douchebag.


The buck stops only one place.

Although, I'm listening to The Smiths at the moment!

We've got their number!

I'm sick of all the Republicans and their backward bullshit. I don't want this country to return to the 1950s. In fact, I think we need to redesign our entire society. It's time to move on. The world is in trouble, and nothing lasts forever. Let's try something else.

Republicans are not patriotic Americans. They don't respect the Constitution except as a convenient method of getting what they want because they know everyone else is honor bound to do so. I think they are a rogue institution that needs to be investigated for treason.

are corrupt and guilty of circumventing our Constitution and Geneva Conventions.

I'm sure he's vaguely involved in the politics, and probably a participant in policy moves, but I still think his advisors are really the ones running the show.

The real test of it will be whether or not he disappears from public view after his presidency, as Reagan did. People with actual involvement seem to hang around on the public scene, like Carter, Clinton, even Bush Sr.

Props disappear. I think Dubya will disappear.

I'll see if I can find it. I'll reply to it to bring to 1st page.

I'm sorry- I'm tired this evening, so if I've misunderstood your point, I apologize.

One thing about Bush that's always been pretty clear to me is that he is not a good speaker. He's absolutely horrible at it. He can barely string a sentence together.

I think real rhetorical subtlety is beyond his grasp. Don't you think these statements were written for him?

(well should I be nice) more than lacking, that somehow they don't understand what they read! Remember Georgie's business failures weren't necessarily failures for him.

All those other scumbuckets are there for one reason: BECAUSE BUSHIE PUT 'EM THERE!!! HE had to assemble his cabinet and all those folks around him, advising him up one side of the room and down the other. Why would he surround himself with people who don't agree with him (except of course, the "pitiable Colin Powell," as Greg Palast calls him)? Those people are there because HE invited them to the table. They would not be there if Gore were in the White House. They would probably not be there if McCain were in the White House. They're there because of bush.

He's stupid, alright, but he knows what he likes.

His advisors are more closely linked to his father than to him, really. I mean- Rumsfeld in the Reaga/Bush administration, Colin Powell... Bush Sr... Cheney, of course...

I guess he could've picked them, too. Hmm. I dunno. It's always smelled more like a Reagan Administration, Mk. II to me. A s talking head that acts as a public spokesman for a greater collection of influential people.

There's Cheney and Rumsfeld but also Rove, Ashcroft and a host of second tier people with background such as Iran contra and anti-Clinton conspiracies.

He's playing along.

stupid.
