Trick? Or Treat?

"Had Enough?" ...VOTE! November 7th...

Commentary on the CLOWNS in the Bush White House & Congress

Via talkingpointsmemo.com, here,
Joe Galloway:

The president declared himself confident that Republicans would sweep to victory and maintain their stranglehold on both houses of a Congress that's done nothing but rubberstamp Bush's war policies and Republican efforts to enrich their fat-cat donors and themselves, of course. If he's right and that's the result of the Nov. 7 elections, then the American people will finally have fulfilled H.L. Mencken's prophecy that we'd continue choosing the lowest common denominator until, in the end, we get precisely the government we deserve.

Meantime, Vice President Dick Cheney confirmed that some of the senior al-Qaeda terrorists in our custody have been subjected to "water-boarding," a torture that brings the victim within a hair of drowning and suffocation. Cheney declared that it was a "no-brainer." My thoughts exactly: Only people with no brains opt to torture a captive in violation of domestic and international law.

This unseemly circus and its clowns in Congress can't go away fast enough and with enough dishonor and disgrace to suit the circumstances. Their place in America's history is secure: They will go down as the worst administration and the worst Congress we've ever had. Period.

They deserve to lose both the House and the Senate on Nov. 7, and the White House in 2008. They bullied their way into a war that they thought would be a slam-dunk and then so bungled things that the only superpower left in the world has been humbled and hobbled in a world that they've made more dangerous for us.

Thanks, guys. You've done a heckuva job. We won't forget it.

GOOD... RIDDANCE, Herb.

BUSH, CHENEY, & RUMSFELD... A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES

"BUSH, CHENEY, & RUMSFELD... A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES" Excerpts: A Buzzflash Editorial.

...(Y)ears from now historians will try to fathom how a small cadre of such arrogant, bumbling fools – with no combat experience – managed to nearly drive this nation into the ground.

It is hard to imagine how we have arrived at a point where a triad of self-appointed "masters of the universe" could so ruinously mislead a nation and put the entire world order at risk.

Iraq is a deteriorating disaster. It was a mistaken misadventure that has costs thousands upon thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars.

Meanwhile, the Republicans dare to run ads with Osama bin Laden – who Bush vowed to get dead or alive years ago, then claimed he didn’t think about him much, now implying again that he threatens America as much as Hitler did – to terrify the masses. Well, if Bush can’t get his man in five years, isn’t that a sign of Bush’s incompetence, rather than bin Laden’s prowess?

Thank you! Yes. Like I've said: "'outwitted by cave-men."

Or to put it another way, if bin Laden is such an enormous man of omnipotent powers that Bush cannot, after all this time, loss of life and billions of dollars defeat him, then doesn’t that mean bin Laden has outgamed Bush? Doesn’t that mean, we have a problem with leadership here in America and need a fresh start with more competent statesmen and military and intelligence strategists?

"Outgamed," embarassed, taunted, and eluded Our tough-talking, shameless "leaders." Sheesh!!!

Bush continues to use his failure as a sign of the "enemy’s" prowess, when all it implies is Bush’s psychologically impaired inability to admit errors and his threadbare abilities to accomplish anything except demonizing the Democrats.

If Bush can’t beat a ragtag group of Islamic extremists funded by Bush’s pals the Saudis and educated for Jihad by the Saudi supported Wahhabbi sect of Islam, what the Hell is he doing occupying the White House?

SIX WORDS: Rehnquist, O'Connor, Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy * (2000); & Diebold (2004).

There is barely a major military, political, or state department figure who – if speaking off the record (and often now on the record) – aren’t in open rebellion against the arrested development "confidence" of Bush in a NeverLand world that is like a Disneyland vision of Iraq. Only Cheney and Rumsfeld, backed into a corner of their own humiliation, persist in claiming that you shouldn’t believe your lying eyes. Their egos supercede the continuing loss of American and Iraqi lives – and the expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars that could be used to improve our communities in America.

America is being held hostage to the need for three men who never knew war to prove their virility, and overcompensate for their earlier failures in the Nixon/Ford White Houses (Cheney and Rumsfeld) and – in the case of Bush – to overcompensate for a life of being a privileged coward and borderline sadist (remember the glee with which he executed people in Texas).

Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld... a confederacy of dunces who continue to threaten the national security of t he United States and the stability of the world.

They have had five years to make a dent in defeating a splinter group of Islamic terrorists – and all they have managed to do – according to the unanimous opinion of their own intelligence agencies – is to increase the number of terrorists and the threat of terrorism to the United States.

...The Confederacy of Dunces should be relieved of their offices. But in the absence of that being imminently practical, people with fresh ideas and a respect for the Constitution should take over the Congress and hold these dangerous men accountable...

*'Kanichiwa! That's all, folks, Herb.

"Stupidity & Arrogance" Diplomat Changes His Tune... QUESTION: Was He Tortured Overnight?

Saw it on CNN, now he says (paraphrasing):
...I misspoke. That's not really my position...
...Nor is it the position of the State Dept.
...Yadda, yadda, yeah...

The dude must've gotten a Rove-scolding (or a water-boarding?). Interesting. More here.

Thank You. Drive-thru, Herb.

Top US diplomat: "We have shown stupidity and arrogance in Iraq..."

When can we officially declare the Grand Neocon Experiment an "abject failure?" From it's conception (Dick!) to it's execution in Iraq (Don, friggin' clown!), to the disastrous effect it has had on our military, Herb.

The Republican Party Doesn't Know How To Handle Scandal: "The Circular Firing Squad"

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, flanked by Bush and Rove.

Good scandal-fallout summary here:

...in Washington, Republican strategists acknowledge privately that, even under their best-case scenario, Foley's sexually charged messages and allegations that House leaders were too passive in responding to them will remain an all-consuming distraction for GOP campaigns...

...(One) frustrated GOP strategist who spoke on the condition of anonymity essentially agreed, saying his party's mishandling of Foley "speaks to our inability to govern and do the right thing. It says everything about who we are as a party."

Inability-to-govern, indeed!
Gluttony, Herb.

Was Hastert Supporting Page-Program PROSTITUTION?

Here's a new Foley revelation, that clearly amounts to some-sort-of prostitution:

The former page also said Foley told him that if he happened to be in Washington, D.C., he could stay at Foley's home if he "would engage in oral sex" with Foley.

The age-old barter-system!
Republican lawmaker Mark Foley,

"One Small Step For A Man... One Giant Leap For Mankind." [or: Houston, We Have An "A"]

INTERESTING: (SCIENCE FRIDAY!)

HOUSTON (Sept. 30) - That's one small word for astronaut Neil Armstrong, one giant revision for grammar sticklers everywhere.

An Australian computer programmer says he found the missing "a" from Armstrong's famous first words from the moon in 1969, when the world heard the phrase, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

The story was reported in Saturday's editions of the Houston Chronicle...
