Maybe we should drive home this: Clinton gave Bush everything
that was collected about terrorists, WMDs, etc.

Bush believed, like any other idiot, that everything Clinton touches is a lie, and ignored every bit of it.

Since he apparently hadn't personally hired the people who were telling his administration about probable terrorist activities, he didn't believe them, thinking that they were setting him up.

After 9/11, when his ass was on fire, Bush(it) tried to make it look like Clinton's fault by saying that "Clinton knew this too!" and pointing out the intel that Bush refused to acknowledge.

I have a great comeback for those who say that Bush is a religious man. "With his attention span, do you think that Bush has even read the Bible????? Or even the Readers' Digest Condensed Version?"

1. Great comment in Franken book
Franken to Wolfowitz at White House Press Corps dinner:

"Clinton's military did a great job in Iraq, didn't they?"

Wolfowitz:

"Fuck you."

8. No kidding! Bush spent more time worring about his Saudi Bin Laden cronies
than he did using the information Clinton had given him to do something about terrorism. Instead of following the leads into the top levels of Saudi power, Bush derailed the investigations to protect his business interests with the Saudi royal family and the Bin Laden business. 911 was the result, Bush's worst miserable failure.

Franken was exactly right.

3. I think some of them do
like Madeleine Albright. But with the RW media, they don't get much coverage.

4. With his retention span ...
do you think that, even if Dubya has read the Bible, he remembers anything?

5. I don't believe
that Bush has read the entire Bible. He just skipped ahead to the ending.

6. Franken said...
... that Bush's "study buddy" couldn't accurately report what they'd supposedly studied in the Bible all those times.

He couldn't explain the subject of the book he was reading during the 2000 primary debates, either.

If he can read, he sure doesn't.
