March 14, 2003
As we watched the ridiculous farce of a much lauded "Press Conference," I wonder if the Washington Press Corps realize they appeared as ridiculous as the man they were supposed to be interviewing? Only an idiot would have exposed the truth of this satire - how they must feel knowing this jerk told the whole world that the press cannot do their job! Scripted! A scripted press conference. The sedation was not limited to the guy standing at the podium!

American mainstream media has become an extension of the Bush administration's Office of Disinformation. Any news we hear or see on the airwaves and in the once-revered daily edition papers is censored by the White House. So much for the fallacy of freedom of the press in these United States. Atrocities have come in many forms since the thugs were allowed to take over the government. The people of America and Democracy are the real losers here.

Excuses, excuses, excuses -- it's all a bunch of bull! The White House Press Corps are afraid they will be banned from the White House if they ask tough questions or don't tow the Bush line and pre-submit questions. Just imagine if this were the Clinton White House, with a real elected President. Do you think, for one minute, they'd let him get away with this bull? Reporters would be all over the airwaves with every derogatory statement they could make. We'd never hear the end of this sham. There is only one brave soul willing to ask the tough questions: Helen Thomas! If the rest of them had the spunk she has, then maybe America wouldn't be in the chaos we find it in. The majority of the White House Press Corps lack the backbone, the spine, and the integrity that is required to serve the American people. It's time to call them on it.

In case you thought the integrity, honesty, and change the tone rhetoric would change the way things are done in Washington, think again. The recent revelations regarding Supreme Court Chief Justice Rehnquist's daughter Janet favoring Jeb's request to postpone the Pension Fund audit, prior to his election, just goes to show the public that it's business as usual for the Repuglicans -- dirty rotten politics!
* * *
How long are the Democrats going to cave in to smears and scandal? How long before they begin to fight back? If we are to believe the people are being represented in Washington, we need to hear some rebuttal to the ridiculous, hate mongering, accusations coming from the Repuglicans. We need to know there are Democrats in Washington. We need to know they aren't Repugs posing as Dems, like Zell Miller.

One thing the Bush administration has learned in the past months is that while we may have the military might to threaten any nation we choose and win wars with our weapons, we cannot accomplish ill conceived plans to dominate the world. There are men with ideals and values who will not roll over to the threats, bribes, and bullying perpetrated by an inexperienced bunch of boobs. Something this administration does not have, and thank God the leaders of other nations do possess, is moral integrity and reverence for innocent human lives.

The Alabama AWOLer is up to his old tricks -- abandon ship and dump your friends whenever it looks as though you may not get what you want! Tony Blair should not be surprised if this lame excuse for a cowboy leaves him high and dry in the dust. Dumbya's motto is not what he proclaims -- compassionate conservative -- rather, it's "dump 'em when the going gets tough," "every man for himself," and " my way or the highway." Dumbya can't spell loyalty, much less practice the concept -- it's too deep for his shallow brain!

Afghanistan is a prime example of just how Repuglicans talk the big talk and don't do a damn thing. They left the Afghan nation in the lurch before and they are leaving them again. If Afghanistan is an example of how they plan to rebuild Iraq, then we are in big trouble. Compassionate conservatism, "HA!," the Bushes are all fluff and no stuff.
* * *
If ever you thought the Repuglican party was a conglomerate of immature, childish, irresponsible, unfettered, bunch of boobs, you were right! The recent renaming of "french fries" only shows the whole world that these guys should still be wearing knickers. They have become a coalition of the worst aspects of America. Lawmakers who stoop to such ridiculous behavior are deplorable. It certainly must be the trickle down effect -- as goes the leader, so goes the rest!

If you really want to stop this war, look into the legalities of attacking another nation without UN approval. If indeed it is illegal, then we will see the bold man from Texas back away so fast it will equal a Texas two-step. Any hint of peril to himself will ultimately end his blow hard brash bravado. A hero he is not. As history has shown us, Bush is not a brave man of action, he is merely a cheerleader.

Somewhere in the dark recesses of 1998, the men with a diabolical plan were convinced they needed a BOLD bumbling blunderer to effect their desires to dominate the world. Using a fathers love for his son, as well as knowing the son could be manipulated, they set out to "elect" this man to high office. Using great sums of money and influence and playing on the emotions of the zealots, as well as a Supreme Court in Poppy's pocket, they accomplished their goal. If you think Iraq will end the current conflict, think again, because this is just the beginning of the roadmap to hell.

If you are looking for deception and fabrication, you don't have to look all the way to Iraq, you can find it right here at home -- just listen to Dumbya and "his" administration. If you listen to the mainstream media, the ditto talking heads, and those seeking fame and fortune while claiming the moral high ground, you will find lies and deception created for the purpose of waging war. If you really want to know sleaze and corruption, then you don't have to travel any further than the Repuglican party.

Do you really believe that #2 is going to heed the advice of #1? Dumbya has always stamped his foot and threatened everyone around him to get what he wants. He rebelled against his father for years and his current actions just prove he will not take Poppy's advice over his selfish desires. Dumbya is still trying to prove he's a man and will attain his selfish goals by defying both Poppy and the whole world. Dumbya is in sad need of counsel -- professional and personal.

First they ignored intelligence warnings regarding terrorist attacks pre-9-11, then they didn't share intelligence with the UN inspectors, and now they are providing forged and fabricated intelligence to those same inspectors. Hmmm, could it be they want the inspections to fail? If you think the decision to wage war in Iraq had not been made, then think again. The intent has always been to march on Iraq, then Syria, then Iran, then North Korea and all other nations who don't happen to want Dumbya for a leader.
