Bush's Enron Lies
  by Robert Parry  as seen on  consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
Four years ago, when the taboo against calling George W. Bush a liar was even stronger than it is today, 
the media bought into Bush's spin that he did nothing to bail out Enron and Kenneth Lay.

Bush supposedly refused to intervene, despite the fortune that Enron had poured into his political coffers. 
That refusal purportedly showed the high ethical standards that set Bush apart from lesser politicians. 

Bush's defenders will probably reprise that storyline now that former Lay and Skilling stand convicted 
of conspiracy and fraud. But the reality is that the Bush-can't-be-bought spin was never true.

Why I Hate Her - Chapter Nine
   by Arianna Huffington

 Link

 Excerpt:
It doesn't take a dashing Harvard symbologist and a sexy French cryptographer to figure this one out.
You-know-who is determined to single-handedly remove every last vestige of authenticity from American politics.

She's being aided by the Knights Templar over at the DLC. And, of course, the Holy Father of triangulation himself,
William Jefferson Clinton -- the self-styled Pope of the Global Village (or at least the Global Initiative).

her relentless, unabashed pandering,

her inauthenticity are legend and legion.

phonier than Alberto Gonzales' testimony on domestic spying,

her dreary, shape-shifting slog.

another shameless, trying-to-be-all-things-to-all-people politician,

a faith stealer,

a head-pounding, soul-sapping killer.

My advice to Dems: reject the candidate.
 

Can't Arianna find anything else to write about?

Hastert was developed from lobbyists who have already pleaded guilty and are co-operating with the government.
Following the report, the a spokesman for Mr Hastert called for the truth bell to be un-rung.

Subject: she whose name we dare not speak

Dear Bart:

My question is when is she going to fight back?
If not now, when?

Best Regards,
Norm
 

I'm not on the team, so all I can do is guess 
and my guess is after she wins a second term.

She's a freshman senator doing her first elected job.
If she came out against the war tomorrow and called Bush a bunch of names like people want,
I would expect every other Democrat to give her the Murtha treatment and she'd be all alone.

"She doesn't speak for me, I love this president and she's just showing her true colors 
  which is Code Pink, Jane Fonda and everyone knows Hanoi Hillary can't get elected."

Why would she volunteer for that today?

And before 100 people write to say, "It's about leadership," I disagree.
It's about winning and that means doing things when the timing is right.

Could somebody explain again why backing the Democrat 
in the 2008 presidential election is an awful thing to do?

Bart, you wrote:

Its simple.  After butchering democracy here in America, they would be remiss in their totalitarian duties 
if they didn't inflict upon this country the same kind of ideology that they carpet-bombed onto the Middle East.

Thanks for fighting, Bart.  Keep up the good fight!

Bush: "bring 'em on" was big mistake

 Link

 Excerpt:
Bush admitted that his bellicose "bring 'em on" taunt to Iraqi insurgents was a big mistake, as he and Blair
did their damndest to try to avoid histroy's inevitable condemnation of their greedy asses as giggling murderers.
Bush and Blair reflected on their grievous mistakes that intensified anti-American sentiment in the Middle East.

Back in July 2003, the tough-talking, never-been-in-a-fair-fight-coward responded to a question
about the emerging Iraqi insurgency by smirking like a serial douchebag and saying "bring 'em on."
That's easy for his deserting-during-wartime yellow-ass to say.

After three years of war that has killed more than 2,400 Americans and thousands of Iraqis,
Bush said that insane prattle was "kind of tough talk, you know, that sent the wrong message to people."

Yeah, that's right.
Any other president would have to pay a price for personal greed that killed 2500 soldiers.

Playing the Impeachment Card
  by William Rivers Pitt

 Link

 Excerpt:
Approval ratings for the Bush administration are at historic lows, and approval ratings for the Republican 
Congressional majority currently languish in a root-cellar beneath those historic lows. There are 159 days 
until the November 7th midterm elections, and the Republican majority has absolutely nothing to run on. 
The economy? They say it is strong but no one believes them, and rising gas prices don't do their arguments 
any favors. Immigration? This is a self-inflicted brawl that has ripped a wide rift down the middle of the 
Republican coalition. National security? Iraq.

On top of this big three, the White House and the Republican Congressional majority are also walking around 
with NSA domestic spying, the investigation into the outing of Valerie Plame, the now-axiomatic belief that Bush 
left New Orleans to die, and a half-dozen other millstones hanging around their necks.

Cali Energy Ripoff was Terrorism

 Link

 Excerpt:
The Kenny Boy Potato Chip and Jeff Skilling conviction was gratifying, but neither lowlife should ever see the 
light of day again. In the Great 2000-2001 California Energy Robbery, a group of 6 power companies, led by Enron, 
through manipulating power production, raised rates up to 90 fold. California people and firms were paying as much in 
a day for electricity as they had in 3 months, threatening to shutdown the world's 6th largest economy. Then in a 
breathlessly audacious scam, the Republicans (who had probably engineered it to punish California for voting 12% 
more for Gore) managed to use the 3-fold higher power contracts Gray Davis signed with a gun to his and the state's 
temple... to depose him and replace him with the Terminator. Ahnold quickly agreed to almost cancel the $9 billion 
refund of the theft, getting only 10-20% in a devils bargain with the power companies.

Enron jury finds Lay, Skilling guilty
 You can bet they won't let him get away now

 Link

 Excerpt:
Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling were convicted Thursday of conspiracy and securities and wire fraud.
Enron's demise alone took with it more than $60 billion in market value, almost $2.1 billion in pension plans

Skilling's $5 million bond remains in effect. Lay's children and family have to help put up a $5 million cash bond.
The judge ordered Lay to surrender his passport.
 

We all know you can't buy a fake passwort with, say, one million dolars in cash.
Kennyboy's not going to die in prison.  He's going to an island in the South Pacific.

I'm glad you're supporting her unconditionally;
would be that John Kerry had got the same support.
 Wal
 

Dude, are you trying to set a new record for Most Mistakes Made with the Fewest Words?

Kerry had my support, that's why I kept screaming for him to wake the hell up during the campaign.
   It's all there in the back issues - searchable by date.

I am not "supporting her unconditionally." 
   She's the Democratic front-runner, like it or not.
   Forgive me if I'm not screaming personal insults at our front-runner.

I, unlike many (most?) detractors, am committed to supporting the Demo ticket in 2008.
   Can you list 5 Democratic bloggers who will make that same pledge?

   Why is it so hard to get a "yes-no" on that question?

Lay - Guilty, Bush - Guilty

 Link

 Excerpt:
As Waxman explained in a 2001 interview, "The fact of the matter is that Enron and Ken Lay had an 
extraordinary amount of influence and access to Bush. Lay was called a close friend by both Bush and Cheney. 
When Cheney chaired an Energy Task Force, Ken Lay had an opportunity to meet privately with him and to have 
a great deal of influence in their recommendations." Bush and his aides have worked hard since the Enron scandal 
broke to suggest that Lay was just another generous Texan. But the attempts to deny linkages to the now-convicted 
corporate criminal never cut water with Craig McDonald, the director of Texans for Public Justice. "Bush's explanation 
of his relationship with Enron is at best a half truth," McDonald said after Bush first tried to distance himself from Lay 
and other Enron executives. 'He was in bed with Enron before he ever held a political office.'"
 

We should also remember that before 9-11, Cheney had his oil buddies over and he showed them
a map of the Iraq oil fields and they decided who would get what - before 9-11.

Hillary rips climbers

 Link

 Excerpt:
Mount Everest pioneer Sir Edmund Hillary said Wednesday he was shocked that 
dozens of climbers left a British mountaineer to die during their own attempts on the 
world's tallest peak.  David Sharp, 34, died apparently of oxygen deficiency while
descending from the summit during a solo climb last week.

More than 40 climbers are thought to have seen him as he lay dying, and almost all 
continued to the summit without offering assistance. "Human life is far more important
than just getting to the top of a mountain," Hillary was quoted as saying.

Subject: Kennyboy

1. Kennyboy was good friends with Clinton and
2. committed his crimes during Clintons presidency.

 ha ha - did you really say that?

1. Kennyboy was Der Monkey's biggest contributor
    and you're saying he was better friends with Bill Clinton?
2. If Clinton is responsible for Enron, cause it happened on his watch,
    then Der Monkey is responsible for 9-11 and you've got no way out of that trap.
 

His crimes could have only taken place after accounting standards were altered drastically
which they were, by liberals such as Dodd.

Wait, you're saying the Democrats are the party of big business?
The Republicans had nothing to do with greater energy business profits?
 

You say you have a smart mouth and the truth
but do you still stop writing occasionally and learn some facts?

Do I still stop?
 

For instance -- Clinton didn't react to terrorism so our enemies increased their attacks
including the attack that was planned and put in place while Clinton was president -- 911.

So, if Clinton never had sex, then Bush would've taken the August 6, 2001 bin Laden PDB seriously?
Dude, how many moons do you have on your planet?
 

That was the second time they attacked the WTC.
The first time Clinton did nothing.
He didn't even visit New York City.
You knew that right?

The Carson Monkey holding mirror
 

Dude, you so crazy they'll think I wrote your parts.
Longtime readers will recognize your crazy ass, but newbies might be confused.

Here are the facts, you poor boy.

The handjobs who blew up the WTC a few months into The Clinton Miracle were caught 
and tried and sentenced (legally, under the Constitution) and are currently in prison.

Those are facts.

You can't handle facts, so you retreat into FoxWorld.
Since you get your "facts" from FOX News and Rush, you don't know what the facts are.

Bottom Line:
Clinton prevented every attack on US soil except for the one plotted under Poppy Bush.
(Using your argument against you)  ...and those bastards are rotting in prison today.

And you say Bill avoided New York as president?
Is that how his pushy wife got on the good side of the majority of New York voters?

I'm a commercial artist and when the Tahlequah Daily Press called me for an interview

 Excerpt:
Tahlequah artist Terry Osburn makes no secret about his opposition to Bush (notice the T-shirt) 
but he said that, when it comes to caricature fodder, Bush is really no different than any other president.

"The thing about caricatures is you exaggerate features that are most pronounced, and they're probably 
the features the person hates the most," he said. "Like George Bush - he's got big ears, a down-pointed nose, 
his eyes are too close together. He kinda looks like an ape."

Even She didn't Deserve That
 But the NYW Times ran it anyway

 Link

 Excerpt:
So what does this article teach us about the Clintons after 30 years of marriage? Well, virtually nothing, actually. 

There's a lot of idle speculation by friends and political allies, some of it admiring of the relationship, some of it 
concerned about the baggage Bill might present for her presidential bid. Yet the overall tone is somehow 
negative and lurid, as when author Patrick Healy (think Judith Miller without the uterus) notes that "Mr. Clinton 
is rarely without company in public, yet the company he keeps rarely includes his wife. Nights out find him zipping 
around Los Angeles with his bachelor buddy, Ron Burkle, or hitting parties and fund-raisers in Manhattan; she is 
yoked to work in Washington or New York -- her Senate career and political ambitions consuming her time." 

The implication is that "Mr. Clinton" and his bachelor buddy are out having a wild and crazy (wink, wink) time
-- and why, exactly, was the phrase "bachelor buddy" included at all?"
 

The mainstream media is doing everything they can to stop her from becoming president and some 
Democrats are falling for it.  They want you to forget how good things were when a Clinton was in charge.

They want you to think today's Amerikkka is as good as it ever was and deep down, 
we know that's false, but it's so much fun to pile on while they beat up a lady.

If she's everything Arianna Huffington says she is,
why are the big corporations investing so much to stop her?

Bart, are you old enough to remember the days when all gas was pumped for you?

When I was a kid, Goober always filled the tank.
But when we went on vacation, to a place like Texas, they had "Pump your own" gas
and I felt like a fighter pilot, gassing up the station wagon in Texarkana.
 

They say making gas self-serve was to cut down on costs.

You know BIG OIL, they're all about getting us the lowest price possible.
 

Also, I heard that OR (and/or NJ) made the they-pump law to help the states' economy (by adding jobs).
Is this completely false?

Sounds like a typical, Republican crappy enocomy if the state is trying to promote minimum wage jobs.

The press corps is very polite.
They have better manners than to mention the president's biggest donor just got 20 years.
Their job is to be sure nothing embarrassing comes up.

The Burial of the 9/11 Story
 The truth makes Bush look bad, so they cover it up

 Link

 Excerpt:
Last week, William Scott Malone and I broke the story of how a still anonymous, senior White House official 
leaked top-secret NSA intelligence in 2001 to then-New York Times reporter Judith Miller. The intelligence 
indicated that Al Qaeda was planning a major attack on the United States. But the "The 9/11 Story That Got Away" 
never made it into the paper.

It never made it to the attention of top Times executive Bill Keller either. Keller, now executive editor of the paper, 
was managing editor in July 2001. But he was kept in the dark when Miller's "impeccable" source first revealed details 
of intelligence concerning an impending Al Qaeda attack, perhaps to be visited on the continental United States. The NSA 
had been listening in on a conversation between two members of Osama bin Laden's terror network. One was overheard 
saying to the other, "Don't worry, we're planning something so big now that the U.S. will have to respond."

Subject: Howie Kurtz

The corporate media at their worst. 
Here's Howie, pretending to not know that the Times article was about a specific
part of the Clinton's relationship-their sex life, which has no news value. 

These are opening salvos in the war on she-whose-name-dare-not-be-mentioned, 
and prove my point:  Cozying up to the right is not going to pre-empt personal attacks against her. 
They've made her a permanent target, and no one's going to spoil their fun.
