Bush administration takes six blows in a row

[Maestro]

I almost put this in the "Latest News and Editorials" section but this an opinion piece. The opinion though is based on pure fact. This administration is a trainwreck! Why isn't the entire US clamoring bring these idiots to justice or at the very least make them more responsible?

During a 24-hour news cycle last week there were these major stories:

# Six of the eight recently fired United States Attorneys told Congressional committees that they believed they lost their jobs because they wouldn't play partisan politics in their handling of high profile political corruption cases. Some also claimed they'd been threatened by the Justice Department not to go public with their complaints.

# Nine American servicemen were killed in action Iraq.

# More than 100 Iraqi Shiites making a religious pilgrimage were killed by suicide bombers. At least 200 were injured.

# Seriously wounded soldiers told Congress about the neglect, bad housing and bureaucratic nightmares they suffered as outpatients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington while two top army generals accepted responsibility and apologized to the soldiers and their families.

# According to a new USA Today/Gallup Poll, six in 10 Americans want Congress to set a time table to withdraw all American troops from Iraq by the end of 2008.

# And, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney and a national security aide to President George W. Bush, was found guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice in the case of the leak of the identity of a CIA operative in the summer of 2003.

GUATEMALA CITY • Mayan leaders will spiritually "cleanse" ancient ruins in Guatemala after a visit by US President George W Bush, unpopular here because of foreign policies going back to Central America's civil wars.

The leaders said they would hold a spiritual ceremony to restore "peace and harmony" at the Mayan ruins of Iximche after Bush tours the site tomorrow. "No, Mr. Bush, you cannot trample and degrade the memory of our ancestors," said indigenous leader Rodolfo Pocop during a press conference. "This is not your ranch in Texas."

5. Bush picked an excellent week to be out of the country. Too bad noone wants

him anywhere. Hey, W, how does it feel to be the most hated man (well, next to Cheney) in the world?

[MLFerrell]

6. And yet Impeachment is off the table again WHY, Congress?

Oy...

[Mugsy]

7. Any by Monica?

Six blows in a row.

Any by Ms. Lewinski so we can impeach this SOB?

8. The only reed holding up this shaky construction is now

the recumbent and complicit corporate media. They are now the last line of defense for this crime syndicate. Unfortunately, they are a very robust and wealthy firewall. (Not insurmountable, though)

[Maestro]

9. I completely agree with you there.

The corporate media is just keeping the population basically ignorant. But the media can confirm that Anna Nicole is still dead. :eyes:

11. When does one blow beat six?

When you have a D and not an R after your name! :drumroll:

[Maestro]

12. No kidding

Meanwhile hypocrites like Gingrich were having affairs while denouncing the Big Dawg as some sort of pervert. :eyes:

14. They broke the rules and now whine about how they want Dems

to break the rules, er not even consider talking about anything that has to do with Repuke corruption.

Hrupmh I say!

13. "Only 6 in 10" want a timetable

for a withdrawal from Iraq? I would think we'd gotten to 7 in 10 by now!
