Impeachment!

Impeachment, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Im-peach-ment.

Zogby's got the goods!

My apologies to Nabokov.

The Loyalty President?

So, President George W. "Ass Monkey" Bush is the Loyalty President. Georgie prides himself on being the kind of straight shooting guy who gives undeviating loyalty and expects nothing less in return.

Not so fast, punk! That maybe half true... He expects total loyalty, but in return... Well, he'll have to see what's in it for him.

Case in point, this humorous little gem from The Hill:

Frustrated with the White House and a key Republican, supporters of Rep. Katherine Harris' (R-Fla.) 2006 Senate campaign lashed out at the administration yesterday for seeking to convince another prominent GOP official to enter the race.

"It's unimaginable that the White House folks and the National Republican Senatorial Committee would be so disloyal to Katherine Harris, especially after all she has done for the Bush family and the Republican Party," a Florida political operative who supports Harris said. "It's unconscionable and a stab in the back."

Well well well...

"after all she has done for the Bush family and the Republican Party" - I wonder what that refers to? Anyone remember something called the 2000 Election? The story goes on:

Harris backers are irritated that State House Speaker Allan Bense met with White House chief of staff Karl Rove and NRSC Chairwoman Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) this week to discuss challenging Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) next year.

The operative added, "If it is true, they should be ashamed and embarrassed, considering she stepped aside at their request for the president and Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.) in 2004. It's her turn."

It's her turn? Boo fucking hoo.

Harris certainly has it coming.

At any rate, the whole thing is just more proof that the president is nothing but a shit-eating opportunist. A dishonest creep. A snively little fat-faced punk... (fill in the rest, I need a drink!)

Jesus Fucking Christ Almighty!

George W. Bush is our president.

I've been repeating this to myself every night for 5 years, but it never looses that new car stink.

George W. Fucking-Ass-Wipe-Shit-for-Brains-Motherfucking-Criminal-Liar Bush is our president!!!

Reading the president's speech tonight was like one of those dreams where your running and running and running, but never get to where you want to go (where was that, anyway?).

Yes, I read the text, couldn't bring myself to watch... can't stand to hear the thing's voice, so the wife and I settled in for Six Feet Under during tonight's speech - a speech that Scott "Are We Done with the Briefing Yet" McClellan characterized as a speech where the President would "talk about the strategy we have for succeeding in Iraq, the strategy we have for victory, and where we are in terms of implementing that strategy." Right Scott, blah blah blah.

The village idiot, this guy who sits in the Oval Office once in a while (when he's not clearing brush off his ranch... must be a Brush Ranch for all the hours he spends there picking up sticks), actually got up and gave the same speech he's been giving since 2003! This is after a month of public opinion polls showing that the US citizenry is eager for him to get real and level with them!

Tonight W showed not only his stubbornness and myopia (resoluteness and focus according to the GOP) but he also showed us all just how much contempt he has for the American people.

Shit, his captive audience didn't even want to applaud at the designated lines.

What a scum-sucker

Chilling Bullshit | Waiting for Apocalypse

I suggest everyone take a look at this Guardian article:

McNamara tells a chilling tale of something that is not much discussed in the MSM, and completely ignored by Bush Rummy and Dick - as far as what we don't hear from the administration through the preening mouthpiece of White House press stooges. Check out this stunning few lines

In New York, little noticed and little covered in the media, delegates from around the world sat down to try to strengthen the 1970 Non Proliferation Treaty...

The conference was a disaster. It took a fortnight to agree an agenda. By the time McNamara arrived in New York last week to appeal to the delegates and suggest paths out of the impasse, it was already too late. Failure was guaranteed. "I felt they'd accomplished nothing," he says...

Meanwhile, US strategic policy is still built on the cold war foundations of constant nuclear readiness. "While we are speaking, we, the United States, have 6,000 strategic warheads deployed, each one on average the destructive power of the nuclear bomb that killed 100,000 human beings at Hiroshima," he says. Two thousand of those warheads are ready to launch on 15-minute warning - a state of affairs McNamara describes as "so bizarre as to be beyond belief".

This really should be Foreign Affairs policy #1. Why is the press not jumping down Bush's throat on this? When the coming shit storm does hit, will W have the balls to stand on the twisted, smoldering ruins of whichever American city buys it, clad in his presidential radiation suit, his arm around a brave yet horribly burned emergency worker, bullhorn raised to his respirator, and announce, "Oops! Guess I fucked up. Sorry."

[or will he collapse into the fetal position on Air Force One, sucking his thumb and wetting his pants all the way to NORAD? I suspect something like the latter.]
