List of the Bush nightmares come true in the last few days and weeks.
Edited on Sat Apr-08-06 11:25 AM by Zen Democrat
AG Alberto Gonzalez testifies to House Judiciary Committee that he can't rule out domestic spying on Americans without a warrant. Even that dirtbag Sensenbrenner is pissed at the secrecy these days.

George W. Bush identified by Scooter Libby as authorizing leak of NIE to Judy Miller. From Commander in Chief, he transfigures into the Hypocrite in Chief, the Leaker in Chief, and the Liar in Chief.

Domestic Advisor Claude Allen resigned in February after being caught shoplifting at Target in January. He was indicted in March for stealing over $5,000 in merchandise from Target and Hechts.

Brian Doyle, the Deputy Press Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, is arrested for being a pedophile predator.

Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face, after drinking.

Bush can’t find anybody to take the FEMA job.

There are increasing calls for Chertoff resignation after Katrina Commission finds him negligent and incompetent.

Gen. Zinni called on Rumsfeld to resign and blamed him for war blunders and lack of planning.

Another “Downing Street Memo” is uncovered wherein it is confirmed that Bush informed Blair at the White House on January 31, 2003, that the decision to go to war at been finalized with a tentative strike date in March 2003. This is BEFORE going to the United Nations.

Andy Card resigns in WH shake-up and is replaced by ...... another White House insider.

In Blackburn, England, Condi Rice says Pentagon made thousands of tactical errors in Iraq. In response, Rumsfeld says Condi “doesn’t know anything about warfare.”

Republican congress increased the debt limit to ….. what $9 trillion now?

Bush's “guest worker” immigration bill fell apart in the Senate.

Republican House of Representatives draconian immigration bill leads to an estimated million people protesting in the streets across the nation - with half a million in Los Angeles alone.

Bush's budget bill fell apart in the House this week.

Iraq War costs now at $400 billion +. And the place has devolved into chaos with a civil war now predicted by some to spread throughout the Middle East, which could put oil at over $125 a barrel.

Bush gets an earful from patriot citizen Harry Taylor in Charlotte, NC. (Karl Rove must be in the woodshed for letting Harry get through the filters.)

Tom DeLay is outtathere, baby! And likely facing federal indictment for Abramoff-related crimes, since two of his top staffers, and Jack Abramoff, have been singing to the prosecutors, as DeLay awaits trial in Texas for money laundering.

His buddy, and former top money man, Kenny-Boy Lay is standing trial in Houston … and while it was earlier predicted that Kenny Boy would walk, the prosecutors presented a stronger case than had been expected. Kenny Boy soon may be trading his Armani suits for prison whites.

Russ Feingold's censure resolution may be gaining strength, and increasingly it appears that impeachment is in Bush's future. The beat goes on.

Okay, that's my stream of consciousness on this matter. Additions are welcomed and encouraged. I want to send a comprehensive list to a wayward relative of mine in the "Christian Right".

2. Condi asserts "thousands of tactical mistakes" made in Iraq
Rummy lamely protests/counters.

Former Iraqi (provis. gov) leader Allawi claims that it looks like civil war in Iraq (Last throes Cheney's defense: Is not - cause I know better.)

Rumours for more than a year, that the WH wants to replace Sec. Snow - make a comeback with the firing of Card, and bringing in of Bolten - but "not yet" - as there is still difficulty finding anyone willing to take the job for Bush and his disasterous economic policies.

Bush campaigner Ralph Reed, tanking in Georgia due to his involvment with Abramoff, and the paper trail of emails indicating that he used his ability to get pastors to 'rally troops' and write letters for whatever cause he rallied for big money.

Bush election official and campaign chair in fla, Congresswoman Katherine Harris has a senate campaign that is running off the rails as her behavior becomes more and more erratic.

Along with the Attorney Generals admission before Congress (that domestic wiretapping with no judicial oversight is okie dokie with this administration) - comes the revelation of major data mining by ATT who have been sending records wholesale (as in not vetting for 'suspicious ones' but sending ALL communication) to the NSA, indicating that a much bigger domestic spying effort is already being conducted by the NSA.

3. Katherine Harris is the comic relief in all this hell!
That ... and hearing Tom DeLay talk about how he "fasted and prayed" before making his decision to leave the House!
