The shit has really hit the fan.
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 11:09 PM by originalpckelly
We now know from two very highly credible sources, one pro-Administration and one neutral, that Wilson was a covert agent. Any doubt about that should be gone, though the helpless ass-kissing right-wingers may still say otherwise, when the CIA's director says she was covert, that's enough for a fair analyst to concede she was covert.

Gonzo doing Vader and the Emperor's bidding on shutting down the DOJ internal NSA spy probe is a big fucking deal, and it's yet another example of obstruction of justice, whether in a practical or legal sense. People are finally starting to talk about it.

Then we have the details of the US Attorney for the district of Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands being fired, right about the time he was investigating the well-known crook Jack Abramoff. (The US Attorney was appointed by Bush's father, so it's not like he's a flaming liberal or something.)

Then we have those new e-mails that showed up yesterday showing Gonzo was in on the US Attorney firing right at the beginning when he was still White House Counsel.

Then, although it seems like an eternity ago, Scooter Libby was just convicted.

And then there is Walter Reed, though that's just such a tragedy it just sucks.

This has been a pretty damn interesting month to be living in America. I have a feeling this is a "I lived through" story for grandchildren (for those folks who don't already have them. :P)

1. Don't forget the ongoing Walter Reed Debacle.
And the oil deal in Iraq coming to light.

12. yes!
i'm getting tired of the MSM pushing the "now the democrats are out to 'get' bush". "the dems will 'use' this to undermine the president". "the dems 'need' this for the campaign trail to 'take' the white house".

bush has undermined his own presidency. this is just governemt acting the way it's supposed to. these are REAL LAWS that were broken, violated, disregarded and ignored. serious laws. our national security. our judicial system. our privacy rights. the safety of our food and water.

the dems won't 'take' the white house. they will be elected to it. bush 'took' the white house.

ok. rant over.

6. Yes, there should definitely be some type of de-Bushification in our government...
Once he's impeached/resigned.

:rofl:

Maybe we should start building a statue of him to pull down when he leaves office.

8. We need a constitutional ammendment to limit pardons!
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 11:16 PM by calipendence
Certainly limit any pardons of those that are in the employ of the executive branch, and perhaps others that are found to be a part of ultimate investigations into Bush's or Cheney's high crimes and misdemeanors too!

That's the big mistake that is the holdover from Watergate and Iran/Contra. This time around we have to make sure that we don't recycle this criminal trash like Abrams, Negroponte, etc. We just need to make sure we recycle the trash that recycles into something USEFUL instead!

24. Maybe if you could burn that crap up quick enough!
it might be useful for something. But still it would produce too much toxic waste into our already CO2 laden air to not be harmful!

23. How about a statue of * with an archer aiming at him with an apple tied in front of his throat!
Edited on Sat Mar-17-07 02:02 AM by calipendence
And some text coming from him saying, "Well you said to put the apple where's supposed to go. That's whar Adam's apple goes!" And have a nice shite eating grin on the archer's face as he releases the arrow from his bow!

Folks this is ALL in jest! Don't want someone to take my comments the wrong way here!

31. "Maybe we should start building a statue of him to pull down when he leaves office."
LOL!

:rofl:

That we should, but I get the sneaking suspicion that someone would pull it down long before then.

5. Or Sibel Edmonds and whistleblowers saying they have Watergate evidence
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 11:12 PM by calipendence
... in their hands again with evidence on domestic spying of government officials like the Watergate breakin, but that seems to get lost in the shuffle too!

Waxman may be busy now, but make sure he has a call in to Sibel to testify soon! We need her to speak!

7. And I thought people who didn't know the difference between shit and Shinola were stupid.
Edited on Fri Mar-16-07 11:18 PM by TahitiNut
It seems that's about 28% of the population. (Even their shoes stink.)

Victoria Toensing was a high school English teacher in the 60s. All her students hang out at FreeRepublic, LittleGreenFootballs, TownHall, and the site that shall not be mentioned.

10. Evidently, you missed Ms Toensing
Thoroughly destructuring Ms Plame's claims.

I saw it on Countdown.

I was hollering "she's a c##t" at the teevee when Larry Johnson came on and called her a "twit".

Personally, I think my term was a better fit.

22. yes, it is going to be an "I lived through" story for your kids and grandkids.
Having to think about the story we will have to tell, I don't want to do it.

We appear to be failing rather miserably with not much momentum to stop the downward slide down the slippery slope.

I read a piece in Readers Digest many years ago. It was a fable, it was available for reprint at the time.

A grandfather was sitting talking with a grandson talking with him about the state of affairs and how it used to be in the US. I'm still looking for the article. It was about the dumbing down of us all and how we came to be a slave state.

It has now been upgraded to a large trickle. I am hoping for major damage soon!
