Shape of earth....views differ
Do you guys remember when Paul Krugman wrote that article that said if the Republicans claimed the earth was flat that the next day you would read in the paper "Shape of earth... view differ"?

Well today it finally happnened!

MSNBC reporting this morning (as I'm sure you all know):

"WASHINGTON - Coming a month before the presidential elections, the final U.S. report on Iraq's weapons capability quickly became a political tool as both the Bush and Kerry campaigns used it to buttress their positions."

You know, every time I think the *Bushies can't amaze me more, they do. This report is devestating for them, yet they say it "bolsters" thier decision to go to war? Does this not just top everything when it comes to lying, distorting, and denying reality? And is there any total BS the press won't advance on their behalf?

Unbelievable! Will the public go for it (I mean other than the freeptards)?

4. They can always count on mediawhores to be "balanced" which
means to abandon their responsibility to report facts, only inform us who holds what opinion. You can take all the journalists on cable news and fit them in the front seat of mini cooper.

6. As Bill hicks said about Bush the first's audacity,
they must have to carry their balls in a wheelbarrow...

They try to fake and bluster their way through their setbacks. you can sense the panicky bugs crawling just underneath the surface of their skins. From gloaty and puffed up arrogance to shrill paranoid accusations, they have basicly two speeds. A cheap 2-speed koolaid daquiri blender, spinning away. Whrrrrr.

They can "buttress' all they want. How appropriate a term!
Like a crumbling gothic cathedral of cards, each card a lie; and the lies piled too high for the laws of physics. "Our ideology is more powerful than nature's puny laws!" Babel On, PNACers....

7. Kerry needs to bust him on this

When *Boosh starts into his famous "he wasn't disarming" meme, Kerry needs to ask him just what the hell arms he was supposed to be disarming? If the shrub* camp starts the "Mr Kerry saw the same intelligence I did", Kerry needs to hammer on Unkie Dick browbeating the CIA into making the "intelligence" point to Saddam.

buttressed their chances to make it to the World Series

laughable
