Can anyone say TREASON??? "I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, testified to a federal grand jury that he had been 'authorized' by Cheney and other White House 'superiors' in the summer of 2003 to disclose classified information to journalists to defend the Bush administration's use of prewar intelligence in making the case to go to war with Iraq, according to attorneys familiar with the matter, and to court records."  No one in America is above the law, and it’s time the law gets busy, otherwise we’ll all be far worse off than we are right now.  There it is, out there, and last I heard releasing “classified information” was a treasonous act punishable by the laws of the land!  Remember, in America NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, and that would include all the “White House superiors”!

Alberto Gonzales at the Senate Judiciary Hearings had this to say---"Our enemy is listening, and I cannot help but wonder if they aren't shaking their heads in amazement at the thought that anyone would imperil such a sensitive program."  How typical of those radical Repuglican bigots who honestly believe no one else in this world is as smart as they are, to think for one minute Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda members don’t take into consideration their conversations are under surveillance and that they’ve been unaware of that surveillance is ludicrous!  Why in the world do you think the terrorists have been about the business of buying disposable cell phones to elude surveillance and capture (something I might add we’ve been told before, as evidenced by John Ashcroft’s warnings shortly after 9-11).  Besides, the bulk of this information involving NSA has been out there for a long time, it is not a recent revelation!  This administration wants it both ways---they want to reassure the American people they, George Bush and his administration, are the only ones to insure our safety and security, but then in an attempt to cover up the fact that laws have been broken, they’re out there spinning and lying along the twisted road out of getting caught.

If the Repuglicans think they are saving their jobs by endorsing Bush’s ill conceived policies, and covering up all his intentional incompetence they better think again---the tentacles of ineptitude and corruption have a way of wrapping around even the most benign and will eventually encompass the entire group in one way or another!  If they think they are saving their party, again better think about it---for the truth will eventually come out and without one Repuglican to stand for America and the American people, the party has no hope of enduring. The cover-ups and the corruption in Washington, D.C. by the Bush administration and the Repuglicans will be the death of the conservative movement and any hope they may have had for political survival!  So if there are any patriots left on the radical side of the aisle, now is the time to come forward and denounce the criminals in office, it’s time to stand up for truth, justice, and what has at one time been the American way!

The latest flack over “the funeral” coming from mainstream corporate media radicals, just goes to show the entire world, they can dish it out, but they can’t take it, even when IT is the truth!!!  “Inappropriate” to talk about peace and non-violence at Coretta Scott King’s Celebration of Life??  I hardly think so, it would have been inappropriate not to speak of Peace and Non-violence at Mrs. King’s Celebration of Life, because you see, Peace and Non-violence is her life!  So to the tired, boring, same old bobble heads that have absolutely nothing but innuendo, hatred, scandal, and spin to offer this world, I say, go crawl in a hole somewhere to smolder with your meaningless drivel where you can do no harm! I prefer to listen to those with conviction and stature, those who chose the truth over lies, those who had the courage to speak truth to power at Mrs. King's Celebration of Life!

As with the first George Bush, this nation will again find out when it’s too late after he’s long gone, George W. Bush does not care one iota for the soldiers he sent to fight his unnecessary preemptive war!  If their mothers and fathers are still alive when the effects of having been exposed to Depleted Uranium manifest in the most horrific diseases, I just wonder how much they’ll support this lunatic then?  When the horror of dying a slow but painful death has someone you love in its grip, because they were unnecessarily exposed to Depleted Uranium will you mom and dad be so willing to sing George Bush’s praises then?  America needs to wake up, our sons and daughters are not only having to endure the horrors of this war, but they will in the future suffer the appalling effects of a slow but very painful death due to diseases caused by Depleted Uranium exposure!

“The ultimate irony is that the Administration may now be depending on journalists' rectitude. In the prelude to and particularly in the aftermath of the war, Bush's aides at times questioned the patriotism of the press; that some of those officials may now be depending on the silence of the media in the face of a national-security investigation made some Bush allies uncomfortable.”  Hmm, was this a shot across the bow? Was this a “we’ve got you by the cajones” warning?  Was this the media’s way of telling George they can make or break him?  Was this a “veiled” threat, warning him his position of power is completely dependent on mainstream corporate media?  Was this a hint to be nice or else?

There are those who still believe mainstream corporate media is bringing us the news!  They still don’t believe MSCM is aiding and abetting everything Bush does to America!  Don’t make no never mind if it’s criminal or not, MSCM will go to any lengths including telling outright lies to cover up for their boy wondering!  And if you ever thought MSCM was giving us “the news you can trust,” here’s the proof they aren’t!!!  We have gone down the hole through the labyrinth of spin and outright lies via corporate print and the boob tube looking glass into the land of insanity!!!

“Greenfield: “Do you really do this at a funeral?”  I didn’t know Jeff Greenfield of CNN was also an expert on funerals, or that he had the experience of having attended so many funerals as to be considered a qualified analyst!  As usual the Bush suck ups were busy at work!  It’s quite obvious Jeff Greenfield and Wolf Blitzer must have been having a contest over at CNN to see who could suck the longest and the loudest, because what we heard was one big loud whoosh, certainly not anything close to an objective news presentation or analysis!

The very fact that the Bush White House knew about the levee breach substantiates everything Jimmy Carter had to say at Coretta Scott King’s Celebration of Life.  Until this country wakes up and comes to terms with the fact that there is intentional incompetence perched in the White House, we will see more of the same!
