Scarborough is aghast in horror that Bush is trying to throw Meirs under the bus

[CatWoman]

Chivalry is indeed dead in the Bush White House.

Damn - even Buchanan is down on them.

1. "flat out lies"

[waiting for hope]

2. Aghast?!?.......

and I thought Scarborough was finally getting the message - It's Bush's way or the highway and no one, and I mean no one is safe from being thrown under the bus as long as it can protect The Decider. I'm sticking to Nero as the closet historical despot comparison:

In 62 Nero's adviser, Burrus, died. Additionally, Seneca was again faced with embezzlement charges.Seneca asked Nero for permission to retire from public affairs. Nero divorced and banished Octavia on grounds of infertility, leaving him free to marry Poppaea. After public protests, Nero was forced to allow Octavia to return from exile, but she was executed shortly upon her return.

Accusations of treason against Nero and the Senate first appeared in 62.The Senate ruled that Antistius, a praetor, should be put to death for speaking ill of Nero at a party. Later, Nero ordered the exile of Fabricius Veiento who slandered the Senate in a book. Tacitus writes that the roots of the conspiracy led by Gaius Calpurnius Piso began in this year. To consolidate power, Nero executed a number of people in 62 and 63 including Pallas, Gaius Rubellius Plautus, Faustus Sulla and Doryphorus. According to Suetonius, Nero "showed neither discrimination nor moderation in putting to death whomsoever he pleased" during this period.

Nero's consolidation of power also included a slow usurping of authority from the Senate. In 54, Nero promised to give the Senate powers equivalent to those under Republican rule. By 65, senators complained that they had no power left and this led to the Pisonian conspiracy.

5. Bush would drop his own sainted mama in the grease if he needed to.

6. Before you throw around phrases like "sainted mama,"

you might want to reflect on who the mama in question actually is... :rofl:

8. However, Buchanan's last words were for bush:

Take Rove's subpoena and throw it back in their faces. Don't let Rove testify.

Yes, Pat. Avoid the truth at all costs.
