George W. Bush is DRIVEN by the prospect of HANDING-OFF HIS IRAQ DISASTER to the NEXT PRESIDENT...

John McCain: Four More Years of Bush/Cheney's IRAQ Occupation Without End... With NO Other MISSION!

Anonymous BUSH ADMINISTRATION Official, on the U.S. ECONOMY: "It's not as bad as Rwanda."

Oh, how far we have come...

Dick Cheney, EVIL BASTARD!

More from the GREASY NETHERWORLD OF LIES, DEATH, and OIL PROFITS(!), otherwise known as Vice President Dick Cheney:

Across the country today, memorial services will be held to honor the 4,000 U.S. troops killed in Iraq, a tragic milestone in President Bush’s “surge” effort.

But the White House is trying to gloss over the troop death marker. President Bush held no public events on the issue today, although he briefly thanked the “courageous people willing to serve” while at the State Department today.

In an interview with ABC News today, Vice President Cheney expressed gross callousness about the 4,000 dead troops, implying that the troops volunteered for duty. (w/ EDITS)Who, in Cheney’s eyes, is hurting even more than the troops and their families? George W. Bush:

The president carries the biggest burden, obviously. (OBVIOUSLY... DUH!) He’s the one who has to make the decision to commit young Americans, but we are fortunate to have a group of men and women, the all-volunteer force, who voluntarily put on the uniform and go in harm’s way for the rest of us... (THE ALL-VOLUNTEER MILITARY WORKED WELL, UP UNTIL BUSH/CHENEY INVADED IRAQ... RECRUITMENT IS WAY, WAY DOWN.)

Our brave soldiers didn't sign-up to sacrifice everything for Dick Cheney's halliburton/neocon-dream and mismanaged clusterf**k that Iraq was, and is. The Bush administration, remember, had to lie to the public and Congress to weasel enough support to invade Iraq... And: that's why Our "volunteer military" that Dick Cheney seems to covet, is not gonna be very-big or any-good, pretty soon. That paragraph makes sense! It's you...

FIVE YEARS LATER: Bush/Cheney's Ill-Advised Invasion & OCCUPATION OF IRAQ... Based on LIES; w/ No Mission!

Invading + occupying IRAQ,
Without a mission has cost
4,000 DEAD AMERICANS...
Bush/Cheney - FAILED LEADERS!
That's: four-thousand dead, in Iraq.

Scooter Libby DISBARRED, Cannot Practice Law. That's a start...

From Think Progress...

Former vice presidential chief of staff Scooter Libby has been disbarred, according to Washington, D.C. radio station WTOP. “A three-judge panel on the DC Court of Appeals stripped Libby of his ability to practice law after he was found guilty last year of obstructing the investigation in the CIA leak investigation,” according to the station. President Bush commuted Libby’s sentence in July 2007.

The TRAITOR still gets off easy...
But DISBARMENT by his fellow lawyers is appropriate, since he LIED TO THE COURTS UNDER OATH;p OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE. Now, even if Georgie, as anticipated, pardons him when leaving office, Scooter Libby can't be a lawyer... ["token?"] Good, Herb.

DELUSIONAL is a word which aptly describes Vice President DICK CHENEY. (Severely clinically delusional)

DICK CHENEY IS INSANE:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday declared the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq a "successful endeavor" in a visit to Iraq that was overshadowed by a suicide bombing that killed at least 25 people...

He should live his life out, what's left of it, destitute; with his otherwise "compensation" going to the soldiers, families, and Iraqi civilians whose lives he has so joyfully RUINED!

Bush and Cheney should NOT ne allowed, after they leave office, to earn Dollar one from any investment, employment, or other endeavor which profits/profited from the STUPID OCCUPATION-WAR OF CHOICE THAT BUSH/CHENEY SO SHAMELESSLY LIED US, OUR TROOPS, AND THE WORLD INTO. [Serenity NOW, SERENITY NOW.]

Someone paid TRAITOR Karl Rove $40,000.00 to give a (worthless) SPEECH? WHY? What were they thinking?

KARL ROVE, IN A SPEECH TO UNIVERSITY OF IOWA GRADUATES, WAS BOOED, HECKLED, AND CHASED OUT-OF-TOWN BY IRATE TOWNFOLK WIELDING TORCHES & PITCHFORKS:

Karl Rove, former senior aide to President Bush, spoke to a hostile crowd at the University of Iowa yesterday evening. Students and local citizens protested his appearance at the university and “staged a mock trial” for Rove inside the student union before the speech.

During the lecture, Rove lashed out at hostile questioners, telling one man his comment showed “a simple, stupid mind” and chastised what he said were “stupid statements” from the audience. Rove also said that former Amb. Joseph Wilson “lied” about his 2002 trip to Niger and accused an audience member of “perpetuating libel” on the U.S. military for asking about the real number of deaths in the Iraq war:

After Rove said most Western intelligence agencies agreed that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction prior to the war, Durham said, “When I had dinner with Joe Wilson, that’s not what he said.”

“With all do respect, Joe Wilson lied about his [intelligence gathering] trip to Africa,” Rove responded, drawing more boos. […]

When an audience member asked him about the “true” body count in Iraq, Rove accused the individual of “perpetuating libel on the military of the United States by accusing them of killing innocent Iraqis.”

Responding to a question about CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson’s outing, Rove, seemingly joking, added:

I haven’t been indicted yet, but I fully expect to be by the end of the year.

The University paid Rove $40,000 for the speech and had to agree to limit “recording equipment and flash photography” to “the first five minutes of the lecture.” At the end of the talk, an audience member shouted at Rove: “Can we have our $40,000 back?” Rove replied: “No, you can’t.”

Perhaps Rove needs to keep the $40,000 in expectation of substantial legal fees.

Former Speaker Dennis "Fatty" Hastert's House Seat Goes TO A DEMOCRAT!

THIS IS A BIG WIN -- FOR THE D's: DENNIS HASTERT'S UBER-CONSERVATIVE DISTRICT; HASTERT -- FAT PIG, KING-OF-PORK -- WHILE HOUSE SPEAKER, FATTENED-UP A LOT OF "PEOPLE" (Cronies, Contributors, Corporations; + His Fatass Self!) IN HIS DISTRICT. THE G.O.P. OWNS THAT DISTICT --Right?-- DOH!!
THEY JUST ELECTED A DEMOCRAT!!!

Bill Foster — a Democratic candidate who is a physicist — defeated Republican dairy owner Jim Oberweis in a special election to claim the Illinois congressional seat... (LONG-HELD BY) former House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R)...

*************************************************************
More, from The Chicago Tribune (w/ EDITS):
"Foster takes seat from GOP... Democrat to succeed Hastert in Republican stronghold"

In a stunning upset Saturday that could be a sign of trouble for Republicans this fall, a little-known Democratic physicist won the special election for a far west suburban congressional seat long held by former GOP House Speaker Dennis Hastert.

Rookie candidate Bill Foster scored a comfortable victory over Republican dairyman Jim Oberweis...
(IN "FATTY" HASTERT'S longstanding
G.O.P.-locked Congressional district!)

I have nothing to add, Herb.

BUSH is holding a BONG...

Bush lets-his-hair-down, and shoots the shyite w/ reporters...
Wait a minute! Is Bush doing the-weed on Air Force One?
Shame on him...FLASHBACK, January 2001: Judicial coup-de-tat ("Supreme Court Five") steals the 2000 Presidential election for Bush/Cheney...

As Richard Nixon said: "They stole the election, fair-and-square!"

Condoleeza Rice (is incompetent!) DID NOTHING, after being WARNED REPEATEDLY in 2001 of TERR'IST THREATS!

Condi Rice: NATIONAL SECURITY DISASTER!
CONDI RICE DID NOT ADVISE THE PRESIDENT before 9/11... She DID NOTHING after being WARNED repeatedly!

Richard Clarke, showed that he had bombarded Rice with messages about terrorist threats” before 9/11, Shenon writes. Some examples:

“Bin Ladin Public Profile
May Presage Attack”
(May 3)
“Terrorist Groups Said Co-operating
on US Hostage Plot”
(May 23)
“Bin Ladin’s Networks’
Plans Advancing”
(May 26)
“Bin Ladin Attacks
May Be Imminent”
(June 23)
“Bin Ladin and Associates
Making Near-Term Threats”
(June 25)
“Bin Ladin Planning High-
Profile Attacks”
(June 30)
“Planning for Bin Ladin Attacks
Continues, Despite Delays”
(July 2)...

The White House, as usual (obstructing), made sure the "9/11 Commission" didn't discuss the incompetent black-lady, who was "NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR," to President Bush... No wonder the White House refused to allow her to be questioned under-oath!

Condi Rice: "National..." "Security," "Advisor;" warnings... NOTHING!!!

RECORD HIGH OIL PRICES continue... Thanks BUSH/CHENEY!

COMMANDER BUNNYPANTS, STRIKES AGAIN...$4.00 a gallon gas, coming soon... Brought to you by Bush/Cheney... Their FAILED SCHEMES, SELLOFFS & CORRUPT-CRONY POLICIES (www.huffingtonpost.com:)
"Bush actually campaigned in 2000 criticizing Clinton's energy policy for "high oil prices" -- when we were at less than $30 a barrel..." [!!!]

"President" George W. Bush is a LYING-MORON, HYPOCRITE CRYBABY-FAILURE...

FROM 2000, When gas cost $1 a gallon...
Bush was quick to draw a connection between the rising cost of oil and what he said was the Clinton administration's lack of a comprehensive energy policy.

"Today America has no energy policy," he said (in 2000). "...fuel prices rose..."

Bush said he hopes his energy policy will strike a chord with Michigan voters. Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics, said yesterday that Michigan voters definitely have oil prices on their minds."It's important because of the automobile industry, because of gas prices. There's been a lot of concern about the rising cost of operating automobiles," Ballenger said.

Oi! ...Oy (vey)? Oh my goodness, Herb.

The Iraq Invoice: $3,000,000,000,000 (That's Three-Trillion Dollars*), for Bush/Cheney's IRAQ MISADVENTURE!

*That's: three-thousand trucks, each loaded w/ $1-Billion!**

**That's $500.00 for EVERY PERSON ALIVE ON EARTH... For Bush/Cheney's Occupation of Iraq -- Neocon friggin' DISASTER!

FROM THINKPROGRESS, THE BILL:

Matt Yglesias notes, “Few people seem to appreciate it, but it’s quite literally true that al-Qaeda’s strategy is to cripple the U.S. economy by dragging us into quagmires abroad.” Arianna Huffington writes, “The thing about $3,000,000,000,000 is that, at a certain point, it becomes hard to ignore.”

Bush and Cheney: WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!

And now we're SCRUDE!

In other news...
President Bush to "endorse"
Senator McCain (R-AZ), tomorrow...
POOR JOHN!!!
