WHAT WOULD IT HAVE LOOKED LIKE AT THE SENATE HEARING IF GEN. BETRAUS HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH GEORGE C. SCOTT….I WONDER…

I have one thing to say about impeachment.
Because the congress ( including the dems ) voted to fund bush’s activities they in essence became accomplice to bush activities. Therefore I wonder if they could legally “judge” bush in a trail in congress

Driving Bear, I know a person who had that surgery about 5 years ago,to bad we didn’t know then that there might be a use for them, otherwise he could have put them in a cryogenic chamber until they were needed,and boy do we need them now!

By taking impeachment “off the table”, I think that it is pretty obvious that Nancy Pelosi (and by implication, the entire DLC) are as much saboteurs as anyone on the other side of the aisle.  I had hoped that when Howard Dean, who drew much ire for his comment calling the DLC “the Republican arm of the Democratic Party” was named head of the DNC, that this would allow real democrats (small “d” intentional here) to take the Democratic Party back, alas, with the Pro-War, Anti-Gay Rights, Corporate Crony Hillary being the frontrunner of this pseudo-opposition party, it seems my hopes were in vain.

I think I will start at new charity. I want to start a program where male to female trans genders can donate their used testicles to a democratic member of congress. God knows the dems of the hill need them

“...Stop blaming the moron and put the blame where it belongs….”

Not the people; they are nearly as dumb as Bush. Who ARE the manipulators? who delivers the orders to Cheney at his undisclosed location? where do those orders come from, where do they originate?

I guess there are no investigative reporters left on the political beat, what with them being so busy finding homosexuals and whoremongers, frozen money and fighting dogs.

Dysfunctional thy name is Bush. Never has anyone in leadership been so incompetent in whatever he has cone. If he hadn’t had a family and contacts to fall back on, he would be in ruins like most of his endeavors in government.

Paul Krugman of the NY Times relates the mercenary mess Bush continues to promote at taxpayer and our military’s expense:

“And the danger out-of-control military contractors pose to American forces has been obvious at least since March 2004, when four armed Blackwater employees blundered into Fallujah in the middle of a delicate military operation, getting themselves killed and precipitating a crisis that probably ended any chance of an acceptable outcome in Iraq.

Yet Blackwater is still there. In fact, last year the State Department gave Blackwater the lead role in diplomatic security in Iraq.

Mr. Singer argues that reliance on private military contractors has let the administration avoid making hard political choices, such as admitting that it didn’t send enough troops in the first place. Contractors, he writes, “offered the potential backstop of additional forces, but with no one having to lose any political capital.” That’s undoubtedly part of the story.

But it’s also worth noting that the Bush administration has tried to privatize every aspect of the U.S. government it can, using taxpayers’ money to give lucrative contracts to its friends — people like Erik Prince, the owner of Blackwater, who has strong Republican connections. You might think that national security would take precedence over the fetish for privatization — but remember, President Bush tried to keep airport security in private hands, even after 9/11.

So the privatization of war — no matter how badly it works — is just part of the pattern.”

it won’t take another 4 years,the election in 2008 is just over a year away and it won’t take the bush bunch that long.
why the “dimmo” won’t do anything to contain this insanity and continue to carry him is maybe he promised not to hurt the dimmos and their families when he declares Martial Law in America. but then again he lies.

GWB was never successful at anything but politics and manipulation.  Once he manipulated his way into the White House, he had no idea how, or desire, to run our Country. When Cheney proposed the idea of a war presidency, he was hooked.  What I still don’t understand is why we allowed this to go on for so long.  After the ‘04 election, he knew there would never be accountablity for him or his crew no matter who held the Congress.  You got to know Rove is plotting the next takeover.  Another 4 years of this and we can kiss our Country goodbuy.  I still can’t understand the 30% who don’t see the truth about this Admin.  But even more confusing, those Senators who continue to carry for this guy.  You got to wonder what kind of threats they must be under. It can’t just be their political careers, it’s got to be something pretty awful to be willing to sell out your Country for this guy.  That’s what it amounts to…...

If Bush is trying to win the “reprehensible” contest, he already won. Why is he pushing it farther? I would guess it is because he knows no other game but politics. That has been evident for most or all of his tiresome career, whether in politics or out.

saboteur? You’re far too charitable Marie.

The core disgrace that is George Bush is only rendered more contemptable by the coverage the NYTimes/WSJrl./LATimes and all conventional mediums afforded the criminals.

The Media NPR/PBS have so profoundly compromised the truth of America’s condition - that if they, the publishers/owners were professionals malpractice would follow suit, but given Murdoch/Viacom/GE/Disney’s toxic touch they’ve turned integrity into an Adult 24hr Peep Show, a cheap and shallow showcase of the rich & ugly .

Well said Marie. This clumsy shift by Bush to make the public believe he has our economy as a fiduciary responsibility is a farce. This Texas Turd has not an iota of a clue what social harm he is doing to the American citizen, not that the dimmos are smarter, but maybe they are more vulnerable to voter’s outrage. Those states that continually vote for a repug seem oblivious to the harm Bush is doing to them and there off-spring.
2% out of a budget for domestic priorities is not enough, most economist’s I have read say 7% is more in keeping with reality, and yet he balks at 2%... what a sap he really is.
