That’s the problem: too many people waste their time and energy with American Karioki, when we have an incompetent, corrupt, and diabolical regime in power. And let’s not forget Desperate Housewives, Gray’s Anatomy, and Judge Judy(I hear it all day long at work).

Why is impeachment of the entire criminal Bush Administration off the table?  George W. Bush is an incorrigible liar,alcohgolic war criminal who likes to torture people and says that God talks to him. Dick ("Go F**k Yourself") Cheney is another alcoholic and minipulative criminal, Condoleeza ("Not my husband!") is a pathetic woman drooling over a criminal and isa worthless in any poosition whereshe is installed, Alberto ("I don’t remember") Gonzales is a liar, like his boss.  Now tell me again why impeachment is off the table?  His war is killing multiple human beings, both Iraqi, American and anyone else who is stupid enough to volunteer.

The President thinks YOUR USA is HIS USA, INC. But you hired him and you can fire him.

Bush’s CEO severance package shall equal his grant to shareholders: a bill for his Iraq War and his distended, fumbling administration. About $1.50 trillion should suffice.

And yes, USA, INC. may garnish any future earnings, seek damages from extended family’s improper parenting, and pursue incursive lobbyists for damages. Any dissenting entity, including foreign country, corporation representing said CEO or lobbyist, administration, or family member will promptly cease business within USA, INC. and responsively exit stage left.

The Honorable,

Of course he is still around because Bush told him what to say, even if he appeared dense, the thing he was to say so as to not incriminate himself was to use the phrase “ I do not recall” or “I don’t remember than incident”. 

It is a wonder how he became a lawyer, what test did he take did he forget all the teachings or did someone let him become a lawyer when even a clerk could have done a better job.

The man has to go, he is not competent to do his job, he was hired because he was a “Loyal Bushie”, and now all of the people who watch the news knows that the whole administration cannot do their job and that politics is the whole of this administration.

The thing about “voter fraud” and these other statements which boils down to lets just try to bring in something even if it is not true, just bringing in something means this administration can send out misinformation, just like the Swift Boat people, some people can be bought and this administration has a lot of people who will roll over.

This is a very tasteless comic. The use of Sanjaya is not fitting at all. You should use Bush, Gore, or someone else.

This is so indicative of our American society. Millions of Americans scream about a contestant still being on talent show when he has little talent --but what do Americans do about an incompetant, corrupt, and dangerous man still occupying a seat of power in Washington? Nothing. Silence.
