Bush picked Alito for one reason, and one reason only---he needed a fight to divert the attention from his involvement in outing a covert CIA agent!  His was the desire to deflect media attention from Karl and ultimately from himself.  And while all the radical right-wing extremists are gooing and gawing over this nomination, George and Karl are congratulating themselves on a job well done!  Sooner or later though, it will all come home to roost, and, as we’ve seen, religious zealots can turn on a dime when and if they believe they’ve been had!  In the end, God will get them for what they’ve done to those of the least of them!

Of late, every time I turn on the tube, there’s Wolf Blitzer yet again---from morning to night, it’s Wolf Blitzer all day, all night, all the time!  Isn’t there anyone else at CNN who can “report” the trivia?  Don’t they have anyone other than Blitzer capable of reading the monitors?  Care should be taken, by the channel that claims to be “the news you can trust,” because Blitzer fatigue is blitzing the country and we all know the only thing we can trust from Blitzer is Bush make-up, back-up, and cover-up!

Doesn’t anyone suspect the convenience of the “coincidences” of 9-11, Saddam’s WMD (that weren’t there), and now the “problems” with Syria?  Doesn’t anyone realize that once the Bush administration was installed, these catalyzing events began and the PNAC plan for world domination was set?  How many must die, before America wakes up?

After listening to the pundits over the last few days rant on the “boob tube” about how Karl Rove escaped indictment, and with the real kicker, the news that Syria is now in the cross-hairs of the Bush administration, the question becomes---have the mainstream media and the neo-cons returned to supporting George Bush’s folly? Is the plan to “redesign the Middle-East” so important that they’re willing to risk everything America stands for in order to forge ahead?  The world is a more dangerous place, and the men and women who desire power and greed, above all else, are responsible!

Hmm, some things, they never change---perhaps the names and faces, but the deeds will always be the same!  “President Bush named Appeals Court Judge Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court on Monday, hoping to usher in a historic new era.”  Seems to me that history tells us this is just the revival of an old era, most commonly known as “The Inquisition,” a time that the modern Church would like the masses to forget so the hierarchy, with the help of George Bush, can usher it back in!  Watch out for a zealot in Judge’s robes, no one is safe when he makes the laws!

"… columnist John Tierney … suggested that the administration leaks about Plame were not deliberate, nothing but an ‘accident’."  And I say, if you believe that whopper, he’ll most certainly feed you another! "He said journalists will suffer: … 'the biggest losers so far in this case--aside from Scooter Libby--are journalists. We’ve spent our careers assuring sources that we’ll protect them ...'" Last I knew, protecting a criminal and/or a criminal act was actually aiding and abetting the crime. This is nothing but spin designed to confuse the masses.  Any reporter who would participate in a criminal act to protect the criminals are not champions of the people’s right to know, rather they are part of the criminal cover-up! Something more than a few so called “journalists” have been willing to do for the Bush administration!

Over the last 5 years we can now be certain that if it had been left up to Bob Woodward alone, Richard M. Nixon would have served his full term in office.  The public now knows that had it not been for Carl Bernstein, Watergate would have been a mere bump in the road!  An expose of Plame-Gate should be first and foremost in the mind of any patriotic journalist, and Bob Woodward’s total support of George Bush is an indication of his utter lack of concern for this country and his complete and total absorption with his bank account!

Anyone who would question whether George Bush was in on smearing Joe Wilson by outing his wife Valerie Plame Wilson, should read this quote from a former Professor at Harvard Business School---“Students who challenged and embarrassed Bush in class would then become the subject of a whispering campaign by him, Tsurumi said. "In class, he couldn't challenge them. But after class, he sometimes came up to me in the hallway and started bad-mouthing those students who had challenged him. He would complain that someone was drinking too much. It was innuendo and lies. So that's how I knew, behind his smile and his smirk, that he was a very insecure, cunning and vengeful guy."

If history has any lessons to be learned, one can be sure, Karl Rove ain’t about to get caught again! It’s pretty damned reasonable to believe he had someone in his back pocket to blame.  Besides, without Karl to whisper into his ear, George wouldn’t know what to say, so firing Karl is out of the question for Bush!  And you have to know they’ll sacrifice anyone to ultimately save George!  And if you think the “elections” in 2006 will save America, better think again---as long as there’s black-box voting and Repuglicans in charge of our votes, REPUGLICANS WILL MAINTAIN THEIR MAJORITY!
