The next time someone says Bush was "elected," you may want to refer them to the recently released GAO report that tells of voting irregularities that annulled the most important right of every American---the right to vote! "The United States is the only major democracy that allows private partisan corporations to secretly count and tabulate the votes with proprietary non-transparent software. … Some electronic voting machines ‘did not encrypt cast ballots or system audit logs, and it was possible to alter both without being detected.' In other words, the GAO now confirms that electronic voting machines provided an open door to flip an entire vote count. More than 800,000 votes were cast in Ohio on electronic voting machines, some seven times Bush's official margin of victory. 'It was possible to alter the files ... so that the votes for one candidate could be recorded for a different candidate.' Numerous sworn statements and affidavits assert that this did happen in Ohio 2004. ... Falsifying election results without leaving any evidence of such an action by using altered memory cards can easily be done, according to the GAO." And, of course, when the conservative judges on the Supreme Court handed Bush the presidency in 2000 - you remember, the election in which Gore received the most popular votes - one could hardly say Bush was elected then, either!!!

"In citing a reason for withdrawing Ms. Miers's nomination, Mr. Bush said he could not comply with the Senate Democrats' request for her work as his White House counsel ... " ERR, EXCUSE ME, YOU MORON, BROWNBACK IS A REPUGLICAN, A MEMBER OF YOUR PARTY!!! AND HE'S THE ONE WHO SAID THEY NEEDED THE "DOCUMENTS"! "BROWNBACK: … at the end of day we were not getting the documents that we believed we need to give good advice and consent on this nominee. I said a week ago this is the sort of risk you assume with the nominee that's in a current White House, and yet they couldn't provide this sort of information. ... SEN. SAM BROWNBACK (R), KANSAS: … But still, at the end of the day, it was about the documents. SEN. SAM BROWNBACK (R), KANSAS: …We were at an impasse on documents."

CNN's Wolf Blitzer is the equivalent of Seinfeld's "Yada, Yada, Yada." In Blitzer's efforts "to make the news," it becomes boring repetition of nothing over and over and over again!

David Brooks has now shown the whole world that he and the rest of like-minded conservative Repuglicans are MALE CHAUVINIST PIGS! On Jim Lehrer's News Hour last night, the pig had this to say about the next Supreme Court nomination: "It no longer has to be a woman" ... when asked by Lehrer "why?" the pig said, "because they've already demonstrated their gesture." Women nation wide were denigrated to "gesture"! Brooks should be hog-tied and nailed to the wall for this, his despicable interpretation of women! It would be hilarious coming from this mealy-mouthed self-inflated egotestical, wind-blowing poor excuse for a man, if it weren't so insulting to women worldwide!

A bit of friendly advice to Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald---if you don't indict Karl Rove now, you better get yourself a cadre of bodyguards you can trust! I stress, bodyguards you can trust, because accidents have been known to happen to those who oppose the Bush family!

"Regular Guy" - I don't think so---MORON is more like it, and you can add to that; spoiled brat, vengeful, greedy, arrogant, bully!! And just in case anyone is still wondering what it's like to have a moron for a president, take a gander at the world today!!! Not only was the war in Iraq "the greatest strategic blunder in the history of the United States," but the conservative judges on the Supreme Court of the United States wear the gold striped mantle of committing the greatest most idiotic partisan gaffe ever made by the American courts, the fateful day they installed George Bush as president!!! It is my considered opinion George Bush and Karl Rove were right up to their ears in lying to the American people in order to wage this preemptive unnecessary war in Iraq! They were as responsible as the rest of the "cabal" for taking America to War using intentionally premeditated, fabricated events. We the people, are now having to bear the responsibility for the deaths of thousands of innocent people and more than 2000 American soldiers, thanks to the likes of George Bush, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby, Donald Rumsfeld, the Repuglican Party, and the CONSERVATIVE JUDGES ON THE SUPREME COURT. Just say NO to any suggestions or nominations of any more Scalias, Thomases, Rehnquists, O'Connors, and Kennedys!
