I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
MoDo gets it right, at least this time. The Re-Thuglican train is seriously off the tracks. The ones to watch will be the Republican Senators. They are always the first to smell trouble and act accordingly. If these guys realize they don't want to hold the stinky bag of shit handed to them by the Drunk Monkey, all hell will break loose in Washington...Lets hope...
Fruitcakes. Great idea.
I still like Neal Pollack's idea to send Yellow Cake Mix, though.
how about some humble pie?
Hmmm. Yellow cake mix is cheaper than fruitcakes.
Still, considering how antsy they still are on the Hill about anthrax, fruitcakes might be less likely to get you visits from the FBI...
Unless, Scooter, you have a fruitcake sitting around from three Christmases ago, as Leah suggested earlier. Still have to pay the postal costs, but maybe just a slice would do.
Yellowcake refers to the particular scandal.
Fruitcake, however, refers to the diminished mental capacity of wingers generally.
I like to generalize where possible.
10, 20, 50 years from now history will most likely record that this "administration" was the simultaneously the most inept and the most corrupt on American history.
The question for Republican legislators at both the state and the federal levels is, do they really want to continue to support such a bad and losing outfit or would it be better to just cut their losses and begin to stand up for the kind of moral values they've professed all along that they advocate? What would be better in the long run, to go down with the ship or to speak up now and define yourselves.
It's getting ugly out there, folks.. Once folks understand why Bush lied about WMD and WHY Cheney was discussing Iraq oilfeilds in his energy task force...well...
And yet Bush is too embarrassed to go back to he UN and BEG for help...Althought I's sure some mother of some poor military trooper stuck back in Iraq would drag Bush by his balls all the way back to the UN, embarrassement or not. "My son is risking his life and your embarrassed, Bush".
Even though Bush along realizes that American are dying because Bush already dole out the oil contracts in Iraq and oil companies tell Bush NOT to go back to UN. "We don't want to share they say".
That little insanity plea Bush has been working on won’t save his sorry ass any more that it would have saved Timothy McVeigh's once the mob gets blood in their eye...once they realize Bush sold out the son/daughter to his fucking oil campaign contributors....
Too bad junior had to lie...
What the hell, Maureen Dowd is talking sense?!? I quit reading anything she wrote a few months back after the continual crap she was churning out - what happened?
ah oh, US senators talking impeachment.
Democrat Eyes Potential Grounds for Bush Impeachment
By John Milne
Reuters
Thursday 17 July 2003
CONCORD, N.H. (Reuters) - U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Bob Graham said on Thursday there were grounds to impeach President Bush if he was found to have led America to war under false pretenses.
While Graham did not call for Bush's impeachment, he said if the president lied about the reasons for going to war with Iraq it would be "more serious" than former President Bill Clinton's lie under oath about his sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
"If in fact we went to war under false pretenses that is a very serious charge," Graham, the senior U.S. senator from Florida, told reporters in New Hampshire.
"If the standard of impeachment is the one the House Republicans used against Bill Clinton, this clearly comes within that standard," he said.
Democrats and some Republicans have raised questions about the unsubstantiated claim Bush made in his January State of the Union speech that Iraq was seeking uranium from Africa in its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
Graham's comments came as reporters followed up on his remarks earlier this week that any deception by Bush over Iraq might rise to the standard of an impeachable offense -- as defined by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives when it voted to impeach Clinton.
I often wonder if politics fails due to simple science. In this case the " for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" or " order tends to chaos" type laws finally have come into effect.
"U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Bob Graham said on Thursday there were grounds to impeach President Bush if he was found to have led America to war under false pretenses."
Well after Al Sharpton made the same claim on Fox.
This makes news, Rev Al doesn't.
What crap.
"10, 20, 50 years from now history will most likely record that this "administration" was the simultaneously the most inept and the most corrupt on American history."
I'm ready to record it right now.
Anon - Rev. Al isn't a Senator. It's real easy for someone like Sharpton or Nader, who hold no office and have a zero chance of winning the presidency, to raise the specter impeachment - because neither of them has any way of making it happen. When an elected member of Congress says the same thing, it becomes a lot more newsworthy.
Graham has already refudiated these comments, which were taken out of context. The comments were in response to a question put to him, and he was speaking in academical terms only.
And now you have...the rest of the story.
The Cheney-Rove administration has been quite consistent. They released cherry-picked portions of the October National Intelligence Estimate to prove that they didn't cherry-pick national intelligence data to take the country to war.
Arrogant, greedy, corrupt, incompetant. That's my summation on the Cheney, Rove, Rumsfield malAdministration. History will not forgive them.

Iraq Nuke Evidence Was Thin, Experts Say
Sat Jul 19, 9:16 PM ET
By JOHN J. LUMPKIN and DAFNA LINZER, Associated Press Writers
"WASHINGTON - Even as the Bush administration concluded Iraq (news - web sites) was reviving its nuclear weapons program, key signs — such as scientific data of weapons work and evidence of research by Iraq's nuclear experts — were missing, according to several former intelligence officials.
The public case that Iraq was pursuing nuclear weapons was built primarily on several suspicious items Iraq reportedly tried to import, such as uranium, aluminum tubes and precision machinery. But the uranium story is now in dispute, and many of the other items had possible uses unrelated to nuclear weapons."

"Before the war, U.N. nuclear inspectors at the International Atomic Energy Agency interviewed Iraq's nuclear scientists and found no indication that they were working on a weapons program.
"The whole thing was antiquated," said IAEA spokeswoman Melissa Fleming. "These guys were aging, they weren't working collectively and the facilities and infrastructure was dilapidated."
[skip]
"Senior Iraqi nuclear scientists interviewed by The Associated Press in Baghdad said their efforts to build a weapon remained dismantled after the 1991 Gulf War (news - web sites). Shakher Hameed, a physicist who was one of Iraq's top nuclear officials in recent years, said there was no program.
"This whole American story of an Iraqi nuclear program is a lie," said Hameed, a frequent interviewee of both U.N. inspectors and U.S. intelligence officers. "The IAEA knew exactly what was going on here and they made it clear there was no program."
[skip]
"The suspected nuclear program in North Korea (news - web sites) may show more compelling signs of having been revived: The North Koreans, unlike the Iraqis, claim they have a nuclear program. U.S. intelligence has learned of imports of materials useful in nuclear programs, tracked loading and offloading of trucks and other activity at known nuclear sites. U.S. and U.N. officials are now watching for signs that Pyongyang has begun reprocessing plutonium, a process that emits a kind of krypton that U.S. sensors can detect.
"Saddam's well-established, pre-1991 pursuit of nuclear weapons led most intelligence analysts to assume he was still after them in recent years, said a defense official familiar with intelligence information. Reports of the Iraqis attempting to import suspicious items reinforced that thinking, the official said, on condition of anonymity.
"A report that Iraq tried to import uranium from Africa was primarily based on documents, later determined to be forgeries, that alleged Iraq had sought uranium in Niger. President Bush's repetition of the allegation in his State of th
The ones to watch will be the Republican Senators. They are always the first to smell trouble and act accordingly. If these guys realize they don't want to hold the stinky bag of shit handed to them by the Drunk Monkey, all hell will break loose in Washington...Lets hope..
Hagel's vocal displeasure might have given false hope that the "independent" Republican Senators (Snowe? Chafee? McCain?) might start to come out of the woodwork. But then every single Republican Senator voted to reject Corrzine and Stabenow's amendment for a full investigation. When push came to shove, they made sure to hide behind the Party.
"A report that Iraq tried to import uranium from Africa was primarily based on documents, later determined to be forgeries, that alleged Iraq had sought uranium in Niger. President Bush's repetition of the allegation in his State of the Union address has led to a political firestorm, with critics accusing him of exaggerating intelligence to push for the U.S. invasion.
[skip]
The U.S. intelligence estimate also notes "activities at several suspect nuclear sites." U.N. nuclear inspectors found no signs of new weapons programs at the scores of sites they checked out and neither did U.S. weapons hunters.
"We investigated every single intelligence claim that was provided alleging Iraq was pursuing nuclear weapons and did not find any evidence of the revival of a nuclear weapons program," the U.N.'s Fleming said.
Some kinds of uranium-enrichment programs require vast amounts of electricity; many need large, secure industrial sites, U.S. government scientists say. The soil around sites that are home to uranium weapons work also has greater traces of the substance than regular soil.
Andrew Wilkie, a senior Australian intelligence analyst who resigned in protest of his government's handling of prewar intelligence, said intelligence services did not pick up on telltale emissions and other signs that would point to a large-scale nuclear program.
"Every stage of the weapons cycle was missing," he said.
Memo to Bushies: This Won't Go Away!!!!
It's real easy for someone like Sharpton or Nader, who hold no office and have a zero chance of winning the presidency, to raise the specter impeachment - because neither of them has any way of making it happen.
True. When those guys mention impeachment, it carries about as much weight as . . . well, us mentioning impeachment.
"such as scientific data of weapons work and evidence of research by Iraq's nuclear experts — were missing,"
You Bush-whackers need to go back to your holes. The only thing our leader was missing in his proof that Iraq had nuclear weapons was "scientific data" & "evidence".
I'd like to be more impressed by Dowd's column, but it's pretty feeble stuff, after all: Gosh, I hope all the Coulter fans don't give in to her one teeny little bad habit of character assassination; gosh, I hope Rove realizes how icky control freaks can be; the Bush Administration leaks stories and acts outraged? Mercy me! Gee whiz, if they'd just act nicer they could cash in on the 9/11 sympathy do anything they want (and that would be GOOD for all of us, right?).
and the marble metaphor? oof!
And two more soldiers die....doesn't even make the headlines anymore...except on the bbc.
Dowd is what she is, but it is to be hoped that she's a leading indicator of a change in the CW
Why don't we just BAN both the Democratic and Republican parties?
Disband them. Make their members coalesce into new parties, new factions. Shake it up a little.
Malcolm X downfall started when he said "the chickens have come home to roost" the same could have been said after 9/11.
Too late to think straight - I think you're on to something. And don't forget "what goes up must come down".
I think it's a lame column by a world class hypocrite. Interesting how MoDo the Ho only gets riled up by reporter's underwear drawer being sniffed in and not former presidents named Clinton. And she loves Poppy and did everything she could to trash Al Gore. She's a useless tool!
http://dumbya.blogspot.com/
She's a tool for sure, but right now she isn't useless.
The most astute comment Dowd ever made was to refer to the Bush family as the "Wasp Corleones". In fact this is a high-end mob family, and the actions of the current government seem like those of international gangsters.
"Even when conservatives have all the marbles, they still act as if they're under siege. Now that they are under siege, it is no time for them to act as if they're losing their marbles."
- Love Dowd or hate her, this is one helluva quote!

The period during which a developing fetus is carried within the uterus. In humans, pregnancy
averages 266 days (38 weeks) from conception to childbirth. Traditionally, pregnancy duration
is counted from the woman's last menstrual period, which adds roughly 2 weeks to gestational
age. This is how physicians arrive at a pregnancy length of 40 weeks (280 days).
