It's
all Bill Clinton's fault
by Gene Lyons
Excerpt:
Not to put to fine a point upon it, but
this is a barefaced lie. Or would be if you didn't suspect that
Bush's overweening sense of entitlement
is such that he honestly can't recall which of Daddy's friends
bought him what when.
With its online advantage, the mediawhoresonline.com
website began correcting the record on Friday.
By Saturday, the Dallas Morning News and
Houston Chronicle weighed in. Then Salon. True, Lay did
donate $12,500 to Ann Richards' campaign
in 1994. Except that he, his wife, and Enron execs gave Bush
more than $146,000. Last year, Lay told
PBS's "Frontline" that he supported Bush in 1994, unanimously
confirmed by Texas political operatives.
Quotes
"One would like to hear from President Bush,
regarding Enron's executives, the sort of anger
he expressed over the possibility that
the crybaby Secret Service agent whose behavior caused
an American Airlines pilot to bar him
from a flight might have been a victim of illegitimate profiling.
Instead, we have heard Bush's slippery
-- Clintonian, actually -- assertion that Enron's CEO,
Ken Lay, 'was a supporter of Ann Richards
in my run in 1994' for governor. Well, yes, but no.
Lay contributed to Richards. And he
contributed much more to Bush."
-- George Will, yes, the smarmy George Will has
finally gotten one right.
Good God, who ever thought they'd live to hear George Will say something true?
Kmart's Board Meets, Bankruptcy an Option
Excerpt:
Kmart Corp. board of directors met on Tuesday
to discuss financial options,
possibly even bankruptcy, as the stock
of the discount retailer again fell sharply today.
During the Clinton Miracle, Kmart stock
broke the $20 barrier.
Within a year of the Failure in Thief driving
the boat, their stock is less than $2.50
Kmart isn't the only one.
Rating agencies see more pain for retailers
Excerpt
"We lowered an awful a lot of ratings in 2001,
and I would expect
that we will have more downgrades than
upgrades this year as well,''
says Jerry Hirschberg, director of Standard
& Poor's corporate credit ratings.
Just like his daddy, he drags us into war
and recession,
but the Bush Family Evil Empire
is poised to make billions from it.
Remember what Al Gore said:
"Prosperity itself is on the ballot in November."
...but Scalia had other plans for America's
future.

Subject: yesterday's "A slut named Laura"
While I was reading your story of the woman who
called the panty dropper for help,
I couldn't help thinking that if you substituted
politics in place of playing in a band,
you would be telling the Bush story.
If I recall the stories they were telling on the
campaign trail right, Laura didn't want Georgie
to get back into politics. The twins didn't either.
Georgie convinced them that he felt like he needed to.
Do you think that panty dropping Laura would give
the same kind of advice to Laura Bush?
Tim
Great point!
For President Monkey in a Man Suit, first comes the Evil Empire, then
Enron,
then the GOP, then his wife and children if there's any left to go
around.
Quotes
"Zell Miller (D-it figures) praised President
Bush's war-time performance as "magnificent"
and declared Clinton's reaction to a
1998 attack on U.S. embassies in Africa by Muslim
terrorists as "wimpy. The only
response we made was firing a few missiles on an empty
terrorist camp. It was a wimpy response
so totally inadequate I was ashamed."
-- Atlanta Journal Constitution, January 15, 2002
Excuse me, Senator, but I have a question: Could
you list for me the "magnificent" response
President Bush took against terrorism before September
11th?
You're very proud of a unelected oil man who did nothing but strong-arm
The Taliban for a pipeline,
and that seems to have been the primary catalyst for the September
11th attacks.
Media Whores Online continues to lead the way.
They are more reliable and more honest than any dead
trees newspaper.

The Annals of Enron
Excerpt:
If anybody at Andersen is in hot water
over the Enron affair, it would appear to be Goddard.
Presumably, he worked closely with Enron
and Kenneth Lay.
Goddard is also (surprise!) a key financial
backer of George W. Bush, one of the elite group of "Pioneers"
(along with his and Bush's good friend,
"Kenny Boy" Lay) who raised $100,000 or more for the Bush 2000
presidential campaign.
And not just that. According to records
obtained by Texans for Public Justice, Goddard contributed over
$250,000 in soft money contributions from
his employer, the vast bulk of it ($238,908) going to Republicans.
Did Goddard in any way facilitate the destruction
of Arthur Andersen files in connection with Enron?
If so, whom or what was he attempting to
shield from investigators?
If not, how can he explain what happened
on his watch?
And why, everywhere you look, is practically
everyone caught up in the Enron scandal also a big Bush supporter?
The Bush Family Evil Empire is so rich and so corrupt,
they can say,
"Here's $50 million, you're taking the
blame for all this."
After nine years of chasing Clinton's cock over imaginary crimes,
we see a real-life missing billion dollars and Ari Fliesher warns
us to "Watch what we say,"
and "Make this a political issue at
your own risk?"
Of course, the toady press and the quaking boots Democrats will
follow their marching orders.
Bush will skate - again - he always does.
Bush
to Lay: What Was Your Name Again?
by Robert Scheer
Excerpt:
In March 1993, Enron hired Bush's Commerce
secretary, Robert A. Mosbacher, and James A. Baker III,
to line up contracts for Enron around the
world. As Enron's representative, Baker even went on a trip
accompanying the ex-president to Kuwait
to do big business in the nation Bush had fought the Gulf War to save.
The trip was criticized by Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf,
who said that he had turned down millions in proffered
deals to do business in Kuwait after the
war.
"I represent 540,000 American men and women, not
some private company," said Schwarzkopf.
"They were willing to die in Kuwait. Why should
I profit from their sacrifice?"
But Norm, that how the Bush Family Evil Empire does business.
They break laws to get into power, then they drag America into
a war where the rules change and secrecy
becomes the patriotic duty of everyone. Then
the Bush Family Evil Empire gets richer than hell.
...and the press and the lobotomy Democrats cheerfully go along for the ride.
A Second Winner

Dear

Excerpt:
Dear Attorney General Ashcroft,
I never thought I would be writing to you,
but as you've said, these are unusual times.
I've wanted to talk to you, but you haven't
been very good about returning my calls,
so I'm writing you this letter. I hope
you can make the time to read it.
I know how busy you are, what with rewriting
the Constitution and all.

Subject: WTC Memorial controversy
Bart,
I think that the memorial doesn't necessarily
have to accurately represent the guys who raised the flag
because it isn't their memorial. The memorial
is for the firefighters who died and representing them is
more important than matching the picture.
Please withhold address, I have enough stalkers.
Alex, I'm OK with that, but they need to pick a different moment or
event.
Changing history at the sacrifice of accuracy seems pointless.
Clueless
In Afghanistan… The Sequel
by Al Martin
Excerpt:
You may have heard about the new US campaign
in Afghanistan -- dropping propaganda canisters
full of propaganda leaflets. They're supposed
to be WANTED posters for Osama bin Laden,
written in the local dialect. It's supposed
to be a picture of him with a caption that says,
"Have you seen this man?"
The picture, though, is a doctored photo
showing him, clean-shaven and dressed in a Western-style
business suit. The Afghani peasants are
having a hell of a time with these leaflets because every time
they see an American soldier, they laugh,
they point to the picture and they say,
"Oh no, we haven't seen any clean shaven
Arabs dressed in JC Penney business suits
that look like this, wandering around
the hinterlands of Afghanistan - but we're still looking."

contact John Cole
