Sea of troubles in a stormy month

[CatWoman]

My, my, my -- What will * dress up as on Halloween?

Maybe he'll pull out that flight suit, equipped with a bigger cod piece.

Yeah, that's the ticket. A bigger cod piece.

October 1 The justice department announces it has launched an inquiry into the White House leak identifying a CIA undercover agent

October 2 The Iraq survey group, under weapons expert David Kay admits that six months after Baghdad's fall no weapons of mass destruction have been found

October 4 The foundation run by the president's father announces it will bestow the George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service to Senator Edward Kennedy, arguably the president's sternest critic, who denounced the Iraq war as "a fraud"

October 6 The White House confirms that management of the Iraq occupation will be centralised in a new coordinating group run by the national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice

October 7 The defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, says he was not told about the restructuring and insists there have been no real changes

October 15 Senate votes against president and insists that half Iraq's $20bn reconstruction budget should be in the form of loans

1. Forgive My Cynicism, 200 Million Buys a Lot of Brainwashing

That is the amount that * is expected to have to begin his bid for reelection.

Add to that, we know the media will be in his pocket.

I don't believe that the drip, drip, drip will be enough to bring this man down any longer.

2. Look at it this way

Al Gore was outspent 2 - 1 in November 2000, and STILL got the most votes.

3. Maybe So, I just Don't See It Happening Anymore

The sheeple have been brainwashed completely.

There are not enough people left that can think for themselves.

12. mhr, why have an election then?

If we have no chance why even bother nominating someone?

Keep your pessimism to yourself please.

4. Let's add to Bush's troubles

I don't know the exact dates this occurred but we also have:

Senate Dems are calling for a damage assessment of the CIA leak.

Powell intelligence aid as well as other weapons experts claim Powell lied in his UN presentation.

Military analyst Gardener's report of 50 different lies the Bush administration told about the Iraq war.

White House's latest Deep Throat leaked Bush's order to stop the leaks. (LOLOL, this one just cracks me up)

The 911 Commission is getting testy with Bush administration and issued their first set of subpoenas for information.

What else? My head is swimming. :D

5. The Stories Sunk Like Stones

Unless the media is willing to participate, all is lost!

7. The Leak Investigation is still alive and kicking

8. Maybe So, Hanging by a Thread With a Failing Pulse

9. well fuck it -- let's just all slit our wrists right now.

10. Catwoman, I'll Vote To Eliminate This Man, Hopefully the Vote Will Count

I'd vote to eliminate this man as a war criminal, if we had such an option as citizens.

Sadly, we do not.

I want to believe just as much as you.

Sadly, I cannot.

I see nothing to give me hope short of some developing bombshell that will truly be a smoking gun.

I have now been unemployed for 39 months.

I trace that long stint directly back to *.

How would you like to put your life on hold for over three years?

I truly wish my suffering and the suffering of others could end today.

I have lost hope that political salvation or redemption is at hand.

[CatWoman]

11. I'm sorry about your suffering

truly I am.

* had all but destroyed this country.

But we have to maintain hope -- and spread the word far and wide to anyone who will listen.

He must be diminished in the eyes of his supporters.

By any means necessary.

6. Speaking of 9/11

we have the story of Bill Clinton's exit briefing to *, where he tried to get * to focus on Bin Laden.

* insisted that Saddam, not Bin Laden, was the bigger threat.
