Mistake? What Mistake? Rove Sends B**h Back To Neverland



It's an episode in American History that's a wry take on Peter Pan: The Little President Who Refused to Grow Up and Admit He Was Wrong!

B**h has been called an idiot, a fool, a jerk, a liar, a contemptuous cretin. This latest refusal to acknowledge reality now adds to all the negativity: spoiled and impetuous brat. A memo has gone from the Office of Neverland: in effect, it tells the entire B**H cabinet to stick with certain talking points.

(From Think Progress):

Titled “Speech Topper on the Bush Record,” the talking points state that Bush “kept the American people safe” after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, lifted the economy after 2001 through tax cuts, curbed AIDS in Africa and maintained “the honor and the dignity of his office.” The document presents the Bush record as an unalloyed success.
Gone are Abu Graib, FEMA and Katrina, Mission Accomplished, Gitmo, Valerie Plame, the housing market crash, weapons of "mass distraction" or the legitimacy of his first four years.

The Washington Post’s Dan Froomkin writes, “The public has rejected him. The nation is in crisis — and eager for the massive course corrections promised by an Obama presidency. But none of this appears to have penetrated President Bush’s well-defended brainpan.”
In other words, B**h still doesn't have a clue.

Where's Captain Hook when we need him?

Just a thought.


















HOW TRUE!

Senator Nanny? Imagine THAT VOICE In A Filibuster??


"Her voice alone would spur me to action with the hopes that she'd shut up."

Overheard on the floor of the Senate:
"Hey! Ev'rybody in dis room shuddup! I wanna tawk!"


Yes, dear reader, Fran Dresser wants to take Hillary's vacant seat in the U.S. Senate. And rumor has it that she's prepping herself for a run later if she doesn't get it now. Wouldn't it be wonderful if, somehow, she ran for election (of anything) against Sarah Palin? Now THAT'S entertainment!

Intelligencer
Senator Nanny? Fran Wants It!
Appoint her, or she’ll run.
* By Diana Scholl * Published Dec 7, 2008
Fran Drescher wants to replace Hillary Clinton in the Senate. She says she’s qualified. “I’ve just been given the appointment of U.S. diplomat,” she said at a party for HBO's Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven at that restaurant on December 3. “My title is public diplomacy envoy for women’s health issues, and I just got back from a four-country European tour of duty. I believe next I’ll be sent to the Middle East.” Also an anti-cancer activist, Drescher has been considering a run for office. “I’ve been very successful in getting a bill passed in Washington,” she said. “I was thinking I’d take the next four years to lay some groundwork, but I’m throwing my hat in the ring.” What else makes her a good candidate? “I’m an authentic and honest person,” she said. “And I think Capitol Hill needs more of that.”

OMG The Nanny? Are you kidding? You damn skippy I'd vote for her.
And I'd take her over Sarah Palin any day.

The Annointing of the SUVs



(from Dan Savage, SLOG.com)

Pentecostal Bishop Charles H. Ellis III, who shared the sanctuary’s wide altar with three gleaming sport utility vehicles, closed his sermon by leading the choir and congregants in a boisterous rendition of the gospel singer Myrna Summers’s “We’re Gonna Make It” as hundreds of worshipers who work in the automotive industry—union assemblers, executives, car salesmen—gathered six deep around the altar to have their foreheads anointed with consecrated oil.

While Congress debated aid to the foundering Detroit automakers Sunday, many here whose future hinges on the decision turned to prayer.

Well, it's better than hundreds of autoworkers storming the CEOS' homes in the suburbs of Detroit. But if Hummers are wiped away from the roads because of people seeking cheaper, smaller, more maneuverable, less gas-guzzling or (heaven forbid) alternative fuel cars and the "concept men" run out of ,well, concepts... we'll see Detroit turn into a - what else? - museum of antique cars.


Bill O'Reilly Entertains Again: Going To War Against - Himself!

Merry Holidays!
Happy Christmas!
Merry Happy!


Oh, F**k! Just Have A Good One!



Taking potshots at Bill O'Reilly is, well, fun. There, I'll admit it! He's hypocritical, dogmatic and incredibly stupid. O.K., there I go again, having fun at someone else's expense. He, he! But I just can't help it. It's so damn...easy!

It's as natural as falling off a log!
He tries to act "fair and balanced" (like FOX News, uh huh!), but he comes across as unfair and slightly unbalanced. As we've stated many times, there are two types of Christofascists: the Elmer Gantrys and the Elmer Fudds. O'Reilly has not yet evolved from Fudd to Gantry. And it looks like he never will:


(From News Hounds):

What? Bill O'Reilly Doesn't Drink His Own Kool-Aid?
(Reported by Melanie - November 18, 2008)
Bill O'Reilly's annual frontal assault on the (ahem) legions of bomb-throwing liberals out there who are waging a "war on Christmas" is just around the corner. But looky here: an alert reader found this on the gas bag's own website: "Bill's holiday reading list."
Now check out Bill O'Reilly's

“Great American Holiday Quiz” up on the Parade Magazine website:
<span class=


That's the Great American HOLIDAY Quiz. I took the quiz and found out more about Hanukkah than Christmas. O'Reilly doesn't seem to get the fact that "Happy Holidays" was phrased so as not to offend Jews. It was, in fact, phrased to INCLUDE Jews, but Bill's covert anti-Semitism results in over-compensation.

His quiz also socks it to the ACLU. Apparently, knowing about nativity scenes in public places is as important as who was the first person to sing Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer (Gene Autry).

See what I mean? It's soooo easy to poke fun at this hypocrite!

Just a thought.

Warning: Pick Up Rove's New Book - But Have a Hernia Belt On!


If He's Going To Name "Bush Haters,"
It Might Be Very HEAVY Reading!

(From Think Progress)

Rove planning to ‘name names’ of Bush haters in his new book.
Karl Rove is reportedly one of the key architects overseeing the “Bush legacy project,” predicting that the President will be remembered as a “far-sighted leader.” In a new interview with Cox News, Rove rails against all the people in America who never “accepted the legitimacy of George W. Bush,” saying that he plans to call them out in his new book.

Simon & Schuster is publishing the book, and have been working on it for more than a year, but the title is not yet listed with Amazon and if you Google "Rove new book" you really don't get anything. Maybe "The Architect" is more difficult to work with than expected (or a worse writer than anticipated). Maybe his list of "Bush-haters" is too unwieldy.

How many pages would it take (in almost infinitesimal type) to list 300 million names?

We'll have to wait and see if Machiavelli's Guide To Presidential Advising ever comes out.

Bush's Appointees: Appointed By God!


I came across this clip of Bill Maher expounding on the large number of Regent University Law School graduates holding important posts in the B**h administration. It's still timely and very pertinent: Obama appointees have knowledge and experience on their side - besides God.


Bush's Cronies, Crimes, Choices vs. Barack Obama's Appointments



With every new appointment, Barack Obama seems to be scoring - big time. Why? Because very few of the appointees directly dealt with Obama before the election, because most of the appointees have direct experience and correlations to the offices selected, because of the diversity of Obama's choices and, well, because of the glaring lack of Skull and Bones people. Yes, there are some Chicago choices, but nothing on par with the choices B**h made before he became President in 2001. The Right Wingnuts are scrutinizing every appointment - and trying to detract from every one. They'll even denigrate the latest:

CBS/AP) President-elect Barack Obama has chosen retired Gen. Eric K. Shinseki to be the next Veterans Affairs secretary, turning to a former Army chief of staff once vilified by the Bush administration for questioning its Iraq war strategy. Mr. Obama will announce the selection of Shinseki, the first Army four-star general of Japanese-American ancestry, at a news conference Sunday in Chicago. He will be the first Asian-American to hold the post of Veterans Affairs secretary, adding to the growing diversity of Mr. Obama's cabinet.
Shinseki was also the bane of Donald Runsfeld and, when criticizing the small amount of troops Rumsfeld said was be needed after the war to stabilize the Iraqi nation, was fired. Shineki was proved right, of course, becoming the absolute pariah of Republicans everywhere.
"I think that General Shinseki is exactly the right person who is going to be able to make sure that we honor our troops when they come home," Mr. Obama said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" to be broadcast Sunday.
For a list of supposed "friends of Obama" go to Barackbook.com. Some of it may be true: Joe Biden is (hopefully) a friend of Obama's and Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley would certainly be a friend (if Obama wanted to get anything accomplished in Chicago). Of course, the "close" relationship between Obama and Bill Ayres is chronicled in detail, but only seems to accentuate that they served on similar boards and Ayres' present interests don't qualify as "terrorism". For a good chronicle of B**h's crony appointments as well as his lies and deceptions, go to Sourcewatch, a wikipedia-like site that helps you get to the sources of today's journalism.

It will be interesting to draw a comparison list, appointee to appointee 2001 compared to 2008. Wanna bet that B**h's appointee's have several things in common: B**h and ineptitude.
