The CIA, a Bush Family Fiefdom
  by Robert Parry as seen on  consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
What's wrong with the U.S. intelligence community is that over the past three decades its ethos of telling truth
to power has been corrupted by politics to such a degree that George W. Bush now sees the CIA as virtually
his family's fiefdom, with the Langley, Virginia, headquarters even named for his father, a former CIA director.

So, when analysts at the CIA were viewed as undercutting George W. Bush's case for war with Iraq,
the White House launched a counter-attack against these intelligence professionals for perceived disloyalty.

During the buildup to the Iraq War, Vice President Dick Cheney personally went to CIA headquarters to
bang heads with intelligence analysts who doubted White House claims about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
While some analysts resisted, many mid-level bureaucrats acquiesced to Cheney.

Paul Pillar, the CIA's senior intelligence analyst for the Middle East, said the Bush administration didn't
just play games with the principle of objective analysis, but "turned the entire model upside down."

Bush: We Don't Torture - Honest!

 Link

 Excerpt:
The BFEE lied thru their teeth when they told a U.N. watchdog Monday that Americans
are barred from using torture in interrogating terror suspects and other prisoners.

"U.S. officials are prohibited from engaging in torture at all times and in all places," John B. Bellinger III,
a State Department legal adviser and Bush toady told the U.N. Committee Against Torture.

Bellinger said the "regrettable incidents or allegations" of detainee mistreatment at Abu Ghraib and
elsewhere had occurred several years ago and that laws, training and monitoring have since improved.
 

The whole world knows they are straight-out lying.
They say they don't torture while seeking legal remedies to torture.
They say they don't torture while claiming the right to torture, ...but they don't torture.
They say they don't torture while kidnapping darkies to send to countries that torture.

America has no credibility left with any government.
All we have are bigger bombs and faster jets so other countries fear us.

Digital Lynch Mob

 Excerpt:
The anger festering on the Democratic left will be taken out on the Democratic middle. (Watch out, Hillary!)
I have seen this anger before -- back in the Vietnam War era. That's when the antiwar wing of the Democratic 
Party helped elect Richard Nixon. In this way, they managed to prolong the very war they so hated.  
The hatred is back. I know it's only words now appearing on my computer screen, but the words are so angry, 
so roiled with rage, that they are the functional equivalent of rocks once so furiously hurled during antiwar 
demonstrations. I can appreciate some of it. Institution after institution failed America -- the presidency, 
Congress and the press. They all endorsed a war to rid Iraq of what it did not have. Now, though, that gullibility 
is being matched by war critics who are so hyped on their own sanctimony that they will obliterate distinctions, 
punishing their friends for apostasy and, by so doing, aiding their enemies. If that's going to be the case, then Iraq 
is a war its critics will lose twice -- once because they couldn't stop it and once more at the polls.
 

Will the Hillary haters give the BFEE four more years?

Bush's best moment in office?

 Link

 Excerpt:
America's Monkey told a German newspaper his best moment in more than five years
in office was catching a big perch in his own lake.

"Tt's hard to name the best moment," Bush told weekly Bild am Sonntag when asked
about his high point since becoming president in January 2001.

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound perch in my lake."

Hey Bart, that quote from AP --

Doesn't that mean that the terra-ists will go after the unflagged bus, knowing that it's 'murican?

"Bush replacing Colin Powell with Condi Rice was confusing enough. Replacing John Ashcroft with 
  Al Gonzales was even stranger. His initial pick for head of the 9/11 commission was Henry Kissinger
  -- that didn't last too long, did it? And picking Harriet Miers to replace Sandra Day O'Connor was 
  simply funny. But the idea of replacing Porter Goss with Michael Hayden -- now that's vintage Bush. 
  Take the guy who oversaw the nsa's illegal wiretapping program and put him in charge of the cia. 
  If this isn't a vote of "no confidence" in congress, the intelligence community, and the american public, 
  then I don't know what the friggin' hell is."

 Excerpt:
Then to my horror, on the night of the "election", I saw how exit polls didnt reflect election results,
how Ohio was reft with voting problems. It felt like a repeat of what we had in Florida in 2000.
Then to my total shock, I saw John Kerry, the fighter, the champion of the democratic party,
roll over and concede with a whimper. Never have I felt so betrayed in my life by ANY politician.

Bush Approval Falls to 31

 Link

 Excerpt:
President Shit-for-Brains saw his approval rating fall to 31 percent in a USA Today/Gallup Poll,
the lowest recorded in the survey and a drop of three percentage points in a single week.

Bush, at 34 percent a week ago, tumbled on declining support from conservatives and Republicans.
The poll found only 52 percent of conservatives approved of Bush's performance.

Apology from a Bush Voter
  by Doug McIntyre, Talk Radio 790 KABC

 Link

 Excerpt:
I was wrong to have voted for George W. Bush. In historic terms, I believe George W. Bush is
the worst two-term President in the history of the country. Worse than Grant. I also believe a case
can be made that he's the worst President, period.I believed the President when he said we were
going to hunt down Bin Laden and all those responsible for the 9-11 murders. I believed Bush when
he said we would go after the terrorists and the nations that harbored them.

So, accept my apology for allowing partisanship to blind me to an obvious truth;
our President is incapable of the tasks he is charged with.
 

Note: KABC also hosts O'Reilly and Hannity.

That's O'Reilly on the left, McIntyre in red and Hannity on the right.

Random Thought

When Hillary wins, will  bartcop.com
be the only lefty web site to support our new president?

I don't know this for a fact,
but I've been told dailykos and Atrios are solidly against her.
I think the same could be said about Democratic Underground.

It's kinda creepy to think the left and the right will be after her.

Shrum and his firm ended up receiving roughly 6 percent of the money Kerry spent on TV ads

his partners made more than $6 million from their losing effort to oust Bush from the White House.

Shrum cared not if Kerry won or not. Shrum got his huge piece of the pie.

Oil companies have consistently made 8% profits. 

Then why did Fat Bastard get a $400M retirement package?
Because profits have been steady?
 

Oil companies didn't shut down refineries, the regulators and greens did. 

The GOP controls everything.
How many refineries have they built since Bush was elected?
 

There is no energy shortage but there is a refinery shortage. 

The GOP controls everything.
How many refineries have they built since Bush was elected?
 

Environmental regulators shut down the refineries not the companies.

Right - the greens overruled the Oil President and the Republican congress 
and the Republican Supreme Court and dictated "No more refineries."

Katherine Harris scandal
 Cruella caught in bribe

 Link

 Excerpt:
Former staff members for Katherine Harris say she directed staff members to submit a defense
contractor's ten million-dollar appropriation request after they rejected it. The request is being
challenged by a congressional watchdog group.

Today's edition of the Orlando Sentinel says Harris insisted the request be submitted although it
was late and hard to understand. The newspaper cites Harris' former chief political strategist Ed Rollins.
Rollins left the campaign in April.

Murdoch/FOX News fundraiser for Hillary?

 Excerpt:
Rupert Murdoch, the soulless tabloid whore, has agreed to host a political fundraiser for Hillary.
The decision underlines an incongruous thawing of relations between Murdoch and Hillary.
Murdoch will host the July fundraiser on behalf of News Corp.

Last month Hillary surprised Washington by attending the "Fox News Sunday" party,
where she chatted with Mr Murdoch.
 

I didn't see this one coming.
Maybe Murdoch doesn't need an enemy in the White House for eight years?

Wes Clark, that's who. Check this guy's resume. 
Poor boy makes it good. He was first in his class at West Point, a born leader.  
He is a Rhodes Scholar, and he won many military honors. 
He has and guts, brains. Not only that, but he looks and acts presidential.

I can't knock Hilary, but I like to pick my leaders on basis of ability and Wes remains my number 1 man.

I agree.
I'd support Clark-Clinton or Clinton-Clark.

But then, I'll support any Democrat not named Lieberman.

Bush's Perfect Storm

 Link

 Excerpt:
A perfect storm" occurs when several weather conditions - for example, a low pressure area,
a cold front, a diversion of the jet stream -- each significant by itself, converge and combine at
a particular time and place, with catastrophic results.

Analogously, a perfect political storm may now be gathering over the Bush Administration, with each element
intensifying the effects of the others. Heretofore, the Bush regime has been able to handle one element or two
at a time, put the emergency behind them, and then move on. Similarly, the problems facing the Busheviks today
might be dealt with successfully if they were to appear in sequence. Unfortunately for Bush and the Republicans,
they are arriving all at once, and this time they may well be overwhelmed and, come November, overthrown.

C-Span Asks Web Sites to Pull Colbert Clip 
 Mr Rove isn't happy about this clip being played so much

 Link

 Excerpt:
Political comedy often is intended to stir controversy, but this doesn't usually involve
broadcasting rights and the public affairs network C-SPAN. 

The cable network asked two Internet video providers, YouTube and IFILM, to pull clips 
of Stephen Colbert's April 29 performance at the WHCA dinner from their Web sites.
Both YouTube and IFILM complied with the request.

Subject: Democrats

Why do the fascists win? They pick a candidate and everyone supports them, 
then they make their bargains for payback AFTER they take power. 
Not us. 

We demand the perfect candidate for 12 different points of view, give the fascists ammo in the primaries, 
go off in a snit and vote for a Libertarian or some other sure loser, and ensure our own defeat. 
Not to mention simply ignoring the illegal vote-stealing antics on the Dark Side.
But we're pure and good, and they're not, so it's all worth it.
