The STUPIDEST Newspaper ARTICLE Ever?

Of all time. Okay, maybe, simply the dumbest FRONT-PAGE(!) article since the INVENTION of the PRINTING PRESS.
The New York Times; no surprise there.
It's a long article about SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON'S MARRIAGE; Titled:

"For Clintons, Delicate Dance
Of Married and Public Lives"

Chris Matthews talked about the article on Hardball, endlessly. [?] BO-RING! [!]

I'll say it: "Who cares?" SERIOUSLY.
(World melts, everything's ruined, Baghdad-burns and people die.)
THE END, Herb.

6/4 UPDATE: From the recently-added MEDIA MATTERS BANNER, somewhere to the right...
The stupid-stupid-stupid (Clinton-marriage-gossip) "news" article seems to be all some people care about, apparently. See these headlines, 6/4/06 articles from the banner:

Broder again defended his Clinton marriage speculation: "the Clintons have presented themselves to the public as a couple"

Marriage mania: Since New York Times ran article on the Clintons' marriage, Matthews has asked at least 90 questions on the subject...

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

SCIENCE FRIDAY: Invisibility Cloak? "Yes," they say...

Just Like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak...
But not-quite Hollow Man, to stick with the fictional-character/movie theme.
'A lot of i's in "invisibility," Herb.

Cheney Under Oath? (In Rove-CIA-Leak case / Libby treason-trial)

Cheney may be called as witness AGAINST Scooter Libby in the Rove-CIA-Leak case, a.k.a. the Libby Treason Trial.That means: Big Time Dick under oath! Do you think placing his hand on the Bible and swearing to tell the whole-truth, means the same thing to Dick Cheney that it does to the rest of us. [Bible-oaths? DICK? C'mon, he'll shoot you in the face, bitch!]
Liars, lyin', Herb.

WILL KARL ROVE TAKE BEING ARRESTED LIKE A MAN?

DICK, Earl; My Name's "Herbert Walker."

ENRON's Lay & Skilling: GUILTY on ALL COUNTS

Enron fraudster Ken Lay, a.k.a. "Kenny Boy," Bush's biggest 2000 Pres. campaign contributor, GUILTY on ALL COUNTS! Fraud, conspiracy, etc., + bank-fraud!

And Jeffery Skilling also, GUILTY, on 19 of 28 counts. Fraud, conspiracy, insider-trading, etc.ENRON, under these guys' leadership, was like a small, corporate microcosm of the Republican party and the Bush administration... LIES, FRAUD, GREED, LIES, FRAUD, GREED, LIES, FRAUD, GREED... & LIES! Bankrupted their respective charges!Yeah damnit! Amen, Herb.

"How Bush Destroyed the CIA," by Sidney Blumenthal

How Bush Destroyed the CIA
AlterNet, May 19, 2006
By Sidney Blumenthal

The moment that the destruction of the Central Intelligence Agency began can be pinpointed to a time, a place and even a memo. On Aug. 6, 2001, CIA director George Tenet presented to President Bush his presidential daily briefing, a startling document titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." Bush did nothing, asked for no further briefings on the issue, and returned to cutting brush at his Crawford, Texas, compound...

Read the story (link) about how Bush vacationed at his ranch in Texas -- despite an endless stream of warnings about terrorism and hijackings that summer -- and did nothing to prevent 9-11. Our "president" was unwilling to accept the blame for HIS FAILURES, and scapegoated the CIA.

Ditto, when Bush & Cheney & Rumsfeld
were DEAD-WRONG about Iraq WMDs.
Damned weasels, Herb.

BUSHLANDIA SHRINKS

Only residents of Utah, Wyoming and Idaho view the president favorably. [Billmon.org]'Used to be known as "Bushistan." I believe our friend Cheney hails from there (Wyomin'). Crazies from the Nixon era, all, I guess, Herb.

[NOTE: Land of "Reality" includes
Alaska and Hawaii, not pictured.]

SELF-RIGHTEOUS LYING BASTARD? NO CONTEST!

WHERE'S ELMO? (Karl?)

Whatever happened to Ebonics?

KRUGMAN... (I thought "D" was for "disaster." Oh well.)

KRUGMAN SAYS:

May 15, 2006 -- Today is the last day to sign up for Medicare Part D, the prescription drug benefit...
:::
Part D's bad start isn't just another illustration of the administration's trademark incompetence. It's also an object lesson in what happens when the government is run by people who aren't interested in the business of governing.
:::
So what we got was a drug program set up to serve the administration's friends and its political agenda, not the alleged beneficiaries. Instead of providing drug coverage directly, Part D is a complex system of subsidies to private insurance companies. The administration's insistence on running the program through these companies, which provide little if any additional value beyond what Medicare could easily have provided directly, is what makes the whole thing so complicated. And that complication, combined with an obvious lack of interest in making the system work, is what led to the disastrous start-up.

All of this is, alas, terribly familiar. As John DiIulio, the former head of Mr. Bush's faith-based initiative, told Esquire, "What you've got is everything — and I mean everything — being run by the political arm." Ideology and cronyism take complete precedence over the business of governing.And that's why when it comes to actual policy as opposed to politics, the Bush administration has turned out to have the reverse Midas touch. Everything it gets its hands on, from the reconstruction of Iraq to the rescue of New Orleans, from the drug benefit to the reform of the C.I.A., turns to crud.
THE END

"Crud," indeed, Herb.

WAKE ME UP IN 2008...

KARL ROVE AND DICK CHENEY MAY GO TO JAIL IN CIA-LEAK CASE!

LAW-BREKERS, THEY ARE. AND APPARENTLY:Doesn't look good for the spite-leakers. No sir!
We MUST ENFORCE ALL them LAWS.
So sayeth the King, so be it, Herb.

IRONIC Quote in Bush's SPEECH Tonight

President Bush, in his prime-time immigration speech tonight, said the following (speaking about illegal immigrants):

"WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS, &
WE MUST ENFORCE OUR LAWS"

Ironic, coming from the president, who doesn't seem to think the law(s) apply to him...

He doesn't think he's bound by the laws regarding the ILLEGAL DOMESTIC SPYING.

He ignores his Constitutional duty, as President, to "faithfully execute the laws" passed by Congress. Bush adds, like, post-it note "SIGNING STATEMENTS," to the bills he doesn't like, excluding himself from the very law he signs, after it's passed by Congress.

He's been harboring a suspected TRAITOR* IN THE WHITE HOUSE, Karl Rove (Rove-CIA-Leak case). Rove also still retains his SECURITY CLEARANCE(S), even though he's being investigated currently for TREASON. Apparently, he puts his sick friends, like Karl, above national security.
* "the most insidious" type,
per George H.W. Bush (Bush Sr.).

SEE ALSO: Geneva Conventions; International Law; Treaty Obligations; et.al.Bush was talkin' bout Mexicans, damnit! Not HIMSELF or HIS friends... [nor Karl, Dick, Don, or his father].
Jeez, Herb.

DON'T FORGET, KIDS!

WHY TRUST THIS PRESIDENT? A PROVEN CHRONIC LIAR, & INEPT!

Why trust these guys? On anything? Really.

These are the guys that corrupted DC & bankrupted America!

Stole the election(s); They ignore the Constitution, believe they're above-the-law, and have CONSISTENTLY LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING.

Everything! They lied 'bout Nine-eleven...
warnings-galore, and EVERYTHING since...

So, BUSH TODAY, FROM WEEKLY RADIO-ADRESS:

"The privacy of all Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities," Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address. "The government does not listen to domestic phone calls without court approval. We are not trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans.

I believe the President! I trust him and his "team" of competent-professionals to protect us... Do you trust'em?Puh-lease!!! Bwah-hahahaha! They make the Keystone Cops look like the friggin Manhattan Project... They've proven incompetent, and intentionally-deceptive & dishonest in their statements.

They've: Squandered, wasted, stole, ruined, lied, killed, misjudged, deceived, and LOST! Pretty much everything. Ever'thin'!
These are the guys who can't handle criticism, deny (reality--) their failures, abuse power & authority at every step, lie and cheat, and don't tolerate any dissent (pussies!) ...whatsoever!

Why trust THEM? Egg-zactly!
Don't, Herb.

Rumsfeld Sent 200,000 AK-47s to Iraq. The entire shipment got intercepted/stolen by ALQEDA!

HOLY SHYITE!-----------

SECRET U.S. ARMS SHIPMENTS... of
200,000 (That's: two-hundred-thousand!)
"AK-47" automatic assault-rifles,
which the US sent to Iraqi security forces,
may have been smuggled to terrorists...

Orders for the deal to go ahead were given by the US Department of Defense. But the work was contracted out via a complex web of private arms traders. [Sounds legit', right?]
:::
(Hundreds of) thousands of guns meant for Iraq's police and army instead went to al-Qaeda...[!]

Unbelievable! No joke... see the above-link to the Mirror UK story.Sounds like a black-market deal that everyone makes a little pocket-money on. Right? RIGHT! Everybody in PNAC, that is.
DICK probably set up the whole thing; He's still got his connections from the Halliburton days.

I just hope, for the love of God, that someone in Rumsfeld's office makes sure those guys have enough ammunition for the rifles!

Jeez-Louise, Herb.

Bush Moved A Few "Deck Chairs"

PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF BUSH. APPROVAL RATING SINKS FURTHER... INTO THE 20s!

*HARRIS-POLL: BAD & WORSE NEWS FOR BUSH & REPUBLICANS...

29% Moron-Americans? Jeez, Herb.

"Nixon Redux?" OH, IT'S WORSE THAN THAT! ['be funny if...]

Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones -- Brain Surgery (seriously, in Bali.)

NO LINK, Top-of-me-head:

Keith Richards, touring the far-east with The Rolling Stones, on a day off: "Relaxing" on the beach with a "lady friend," determined he must have a coconut! A fresh coconut. So he proceeded to climb a palm tree to the top... Then fell flat-backwards onto his melon. After continuing with a couple tour dates, I think(?), he found out his brain was swelled and bleeding, then had some Thai doctors, I think (?), operate ON HIS BRAIN(!) to relieve the problem...

TO RECAP: The Rolling Stones's Keith Richards, relaxing, beach, girl, coconut, brain surgery!

Well, GOOD! That sounds about right, Herb.

Sh!t!

Dateline, September 2003:
But inconclusive evidence of intent, know-how and the capacity to build weapons of mass destruction does not quite measure up to President Bush's claim, in his final ultimatum to Iraq on March 19, that "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." Nor to Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld's claim, on March 30 that,
"We know where the WMDs are..."

Yepp, Herb.
