Hmm, Harriet Miers???  Bolten may be attempting to take a step that goes too far!  We still aren’t exactly sure as to who is whispering in Bush’s ear via that box on his back, and we all know that person, whomever it may be, will not, can not and definitely won’t go!  Now, I don’t presume to know that it’s Ms. Miers, but it is someone very close to Bush.  It will be very interesting indeed to see who stays and who goes!

The Bush administration fooled us once, i.e. Iraq and it is shame on them, but they’re attempting to fool us again, and this time it will really be shame on us, i.e. Iran.  This administration does not have what it takes to handle foreign policy!  How in the world can one expect two insane bullies to negotiate anything whatsoever?  And if Bush is threatening an insane bully with annihilation, don’t you think that bully will be looking for a bigger stick?  The Bush administration has managed to open up Pandora’s Box, with only one solution on how to close it, nuclear war!  We really do need some stronger, wiser men leading this country, because those chickenhawk bullies in the Bush administration certainly don’t have the first clue on how to handle the job.  And one last consideration, if George Bush drops a nuclear weapon on Iran, what do you think North Korea will do, sit back and wait for one that has their name on it???

It’s all just a stop-gap measure to try and keep Karl Rove out of jail the old fashioned, Repuglican way, sneaky dirty politics, so the public won’t know just how morally corrupt George Bush and his entire administration have been.  The kicker though is in the “pardon” details, when and if it comes down to it, one thing George has learned from George, if you see your ass in a bind, pardon ‘em all before they can sing their tune in court!

To any and all of those who would ever call mainstream corporate media “liberal”---The Washington Post is again aiding and abetting George Bush’s march on world dominance!  Nothing “liberal” about this most recent suck-up that in the end will turn out much the same as before, only worse and again with no plan for the aftermath! The nuclear war drums have started to beat, and all the president’s men including the Post are clanging the cymbals and marching to the Bush tune of disaster!

“As one outside adviser to the administration said, the danger of a Democratic takeover of at least one house of Congress looms large and would carry huge penalties for Bush. The administration fears 'investigations of everything' by congressional committees.” Look out, we are going to be invaded, not by foreign terrorists, but by home grown swift boat lackeys doing what they do best, smear and scandal, lies and tripe, because the Bush administration could not possibly survive Congressional oversight.  Look out for the dirtiest of dirty political warfare and then you can be sure wherever black box voting is entrenched, the fix is already in! The Repuglicans in general are fighting for survival and “nothing is off the table”!  Hmm, I wonder if the “warrantless” surveillance program over at NSA will play a vital part in aiding and abetting a successful upcoming election cycle for the Repuglican Party?

“HOWARD KURTZ,  WASHINGTON POST: The Bush administration seems to be taking its aggressive policy against the press one step further, now going after a dead journalist.”  Nice try Howard---but methinks this is one of your smoke and mirrors tricks to try and cover up the real reason they’re going after Jack Anderson’s papers, after all you’ve been sucking up to the Bush administration for the past 5 years!  Why would the FBI be sneaky about getting approval from a 79 year old lady to look at those files? Exactly what info is contained in classified papers that have been hidden away in decades old files?  Why did they wait until Mr. Jack Anderson was dead?  Did the FBI only make a move after he died because they knew he could nail an important someone with that information? Whose skeletons are really buried in these files?  There’s more to this story than meets the eye, and certainly more to it than the Bush administration “taking its aggressive policy against the press one step further”!
