Joe Scarborough to Congress: "SAVE YOURSELF! BLAME BUSH!"
But this is Dubya's Washington, where the White House has pushed around, bullied and betrayed GOP lawmakers for years.

I can't help but feel sorry for my old Republican friends in Congress who are fighting for their political lives. After all, it must be tough explaining to voters at their local Baptist church's Keep Congress Conservative Day that it was their party that took a $155 billion surplus and turned it into a record-setting $400 billion deficit.

How exactly does one convince the teeming masses that Republicans deserve to stay in power despite botching a war, doubling the national debt, keeping company with Jack Abramoff, fumbling the response to Hurricane Katrina, expanding the government at record rates, raising cronyism to an art form, playing poker with Duke Cunningham, isolating America and repeatedly electing Tom DeLay as their House majority leader?

How does a God-fearing Reagan Republican explain all that away?

Easy. Blame George W. Bush....

2. His 'old Republican friends'? Does that mean ole flip-flopper
Joe is distancing himself from them - this week?
Though it's nice he provided a laundry list of all the repug efforts to turn this country upside down.

5. Joe missed the part about defending and promoting torture
along with trashing our home world (God's Creation)as if there were no tomorrow. How do they explain that their voters in church? Do they even try or just ignore these issues?

8. I agree Bluebear, it does make for a nice Saturday.
:) As a side note, I think David Letterman should incorporate Bush defending torture yesterday in to his Greatest Presidential Speeches routine, as a nice contrast to FDR and JFK's. Maybe that will wake a few more people up. Have a good weekend.:hi:

the GITGO and have revealed they cannot pick a good Leader much less recognize one..

They squeal with anguish at the prospect of losing Power...the same Power they have misused and wasted.

Its too late, their basic philosophy is one of Selfishness and Ignorance...

14. Repugs have supported in near lockstep fashion, no matter how
wrong-headed, how disastrous.

9. The thing is, Hoe-er Joe...Congress doesn't have to explain themselves.
Hell, they can simply lie about the deficit and get away with it. Bush just did that without batting an eye:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060915/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_text2_4

"It's been a strong economy. And I strongly believe the reason it is, is because we cut taxes, and at the same time showed fiscal responsibility here in Washington with the people's money."

Fiscal responsibility with the people's money? Are. You. Shitting. Me???

See how easy that was? Just pretend like it doesn't exist and watch those poll numbers rise. Some of the American people really are idiots...

10. Too late, Joe. Every vote supporting *'s policies and oppressive
governance will hang around their necks and the weight of them will drag them down. They deserve what they get. It will be remembered.

11. After all this, Scarborough STILL says it would take a
"crazy Democratic chairman" to launch impeachment hearings against GW Bush. He still sees nothing wrong with impeaching a president for a blowjob, but impeaching GW Bush for the crimes Scarborough ADMITS he's committed is beyond the realm of sanity.

16. Busholini's staunchest supporters turning on The
Glorious Leader will look like betrayal. Those Repugs will be viewed as untrustworthy to the Independents and traitors to the RW Cult.
