"It’s hard for me to listen to President Bush invoking my father’s memory to attack John Kerry. Senator Kerry has demonstrated his courage and commitment to a stronger America throughout his entire career. President Kennedy inspired and united the country and so will John Kerry. President Bush is doing just the opposite. All of us who revere the strength and … Read More
Movie Villain of the Year
Total Film magazine’s annual poll of the "Movie Villain of the Year" had an interesting outcome. Was it Dr. Octopus from Spiderman 2? Or the bad guy from Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Or the Alien? Or the Predator? Nope. It was George Bush (star of "Fahrenheit 9/11"). (Source) Heh.
White House Stops Airing Its Dirty Linens
A little late, in my opinion, but the White House realized it is probably not a good idea to have Bush’s bloopers and flip-flops on the official White House website. So they have been slowly and quietly removing them. Not to worry. This guy is on top of it. Gone now are Bush’s "I’m not that concerned about Bin Laden" … Read More
God Sent Mixed Messages
We all know He speaks to Bush, and we all know He speaks to Pat Robertson. So why was He telling Bush one thing about the War in Iraq, and telling Pat Robertson something else: "I mean, the Lord told me it was going to be A, a disaster, and B, messy," Robertson said. "I warned [President Bush] about casualties." … Read More
If Bush Is So Good About Homeland Security . . .
. . . why did the U.S. Cybersecurity Chief just suddenly resign today from the Office of Homeland Security, because of "what he considers the department’s lack of attention paid to computer security issues"? (Source) Can’t be good news for Bush on the day following the debates.
Undercutting Allies?
JANESVILLE, Wis. – Democrat John Kerry wrongly questioned the credibility of the interim Iraqi leader [Ayad Allawi], and "you can’t lead this country" while undercutting an ally, President Bush said Friday. From here. President Bush then ate some "freedom fries", dissed "old Europe", and talked about how ineffective the U.N. is. Seriously, this is the scariest thing about Bush, in … Read More

A Little Law

A person subject to this chapter shall be punished as a court-martial directs if the person: (1) strikes his superior commissioned officer or draws or lifts up a weapon or offers any violence against him while in the execution of his office; or (2) wilfully disobeys a lawful command of his … Read More
Unbelievable Liars
How many times has the Bush White House said that all the documents pertaining to Bush’s military record have been released? Seriously, how many times? "The White House says, `We’ve released all of [the documents]. You should take our word for it and this is the evidence.’" – CNN Really? So . . . how come THIS happened following last … Read More
Two Veterans Support Bush
In the latest meme polluting a site I often contribute to, we read this: Veterans Like Bush Or, well, at least he got two endorsements from major veterans groups, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Except, well, that’s not true. Instead, if you actually come across the news story (tellingly, the prior post has no link), it … Read More
The RNC Damage Control Machine Loses a Gear
Despite the high and — in retrospect — undeserved praise here, the 60 Minutes bombshell wasn’t Ben Barnes (who repeated his allegation that he got Bush the cushy National Guard post). This was the part of the story that hurts Bush (Click "New Bush Service Questions" for the video). It’s about how Bush’s commander was getting pressure to give Bush … Read More
Bush Spat on Vietnam Vets
Not literally. He just suggested that they did a shitty job. This is reportedly what George Bush said to Connie Chung in 1988 when he was interviewed at the RNC in New Orleans: CONNIE CHUNG: The problem, though, would be is if, indeed, [Dan Quayle] made several phone calls or some people made phone calls on his behalf to get … Read More
The Alcoholic Stoned Presidency
Digby is asking some pretty blunt questions about Bush’s drinking and cocaine problem. Like . . . why is Bush, who supposedly kicked his alcohol problem in the 1980’s, drinking a beer here at the G-8 Summit? (Yes, it’s his glass. Count the participants and match them with the booze). And why was Bush so drunk here (Quicktime video) in … Read More
Why They Don’t Like To Let Bush Talk
George Bush on the Swift Boat ads: “I can understand why Senator Kerry is upset with us. I wasn’t so pleased with the ads that were run about me. And my call is get rid of them all, now.” Upset with “us“? I thought y’all had nothing to do with those ads, George. Total credit for this catch goes to … Read More
Bush Flip-Flop Number . . . oh, Who-Can-Keep-Count?
MEET THE PRESS, March 5, 2000: Gov. BUSH: Bob, there are people spending ads that say nice things about me. There are people spending money on ads that say ugly things about me. BORGER: Should… Gov. BUSH: That’s part of the American–let me finish. That’s part of the American process. There have been ads, independent expenditures, that are saying bad … Read More
