The End of THIS ASSHOLE!

Criminality & Failure Chronicled

And it must be said that while Blago will probably spend a few years in prison, Bush will walk away scot-free despite his many, many worse crimes... because, apparently, if the President does it, it isn't illegal.

Countdown: Keith Olbermann Looks At Bush's REAL Legacy

President Bush tells interviewers he does not care how history will portray him.

But in our third story tonight, the Los Angeles Times has obtained an internal White House memo giving cabinet members talking points for painting history a rosy portrait of Mr. Bush even though his image will only get worse, as new, damning facts emerge.

What does the memo say? And how are we obliged to correct its bizarre claims?

To start, it says Mr. Bush, quote, "...promised to raise standards and accountability in public schools -- and delivered the No Child Left Behind Act," an act so poorly received, that the Times points out it became a standard applause line this year... for Democrats.

Also from the memo: he curbed AIDS in Africa.

Its spread has slowed, and Mr. Bush has won praise for this but he has not won any praise for withholding funds from groups that promote condom use, a proven life-saver in favor of abstinence-only programs, which have also failed in this country.

Also, Mr. Bush's foreign-aid puritan, Randall Tobias quit last year after patronizing an escort service linked to prostitution.

Also from the memo: Mr. Bush lifted the economy with his tax cuts and, quote, "responded with bold measures to prevent an economic meltdown."

In 2005, Mr. Bush told a 57-year-old single mother of three, one of them mentally challenged, that it was "fantastic", "uniquely American" that she had to work three jobs unlike half a million people who have no job as of November... in the first presidency for decades during which family earning power fell, and income disparity continued to rise.

The "meltdown" he "prevented" now having claimed several Wall Street institutions which had weathered 1929, and 9/11... but not 43.

And, of course, the old standby, quote, he "kept the American people safe"...

Not counting twenty percent of his first term, January 20th, 2001, until September 11th, 2001. On 9/11, he sat reading "My Pet Goat" for seven minutes after learning America was under attack. Then covered up environmental dangers at Ground Zero, and failed to provide for the health of rescue workers. Helped bin Laden's family flee the country. Opposed the 9/11 Commission, the Department of Homeland Security. Tried to outsource America's port security to Dubai. Did not keep us safe from the shoe-bomber... alert passengers and crew did that...

Did not keep five Americans safe from anthrax... and never caught their killer.

Still hasn't caught the killer of 17 sailors aboard the USS Cole.

Still hasn't caught the killer of 3,000 on 9/11... outsourcing that to Afghans... turning that country into a narco-state, giving bin Laden a safe haven in the region of Waziristan by literally endorsing a truce that Pakistan signed with the Taliban there.

And most of all, not keeping safe 4,200 Americans dead in his war, a war that made us less safe, invading a country that posed no grave or gathering threat, provided a check on Iran... then igniting insurrection by disbanding the Baathist Party, creating a Muslim theocracy purged of its moderate intelligentsia. One in which freedom has marched backward for women.

And Lebanon, too, elected a Muslim theocracy... run by Hamas, no less.

Keeping us safe?

Terrorism is rising worldwide.

The still-thriving enemy has claimed Pakistan's Benazir Bhutto...

And thousands of people in India... including 200 in Mumbai last month.

Russia can now invade U-S allies without fear of retribution.

And Mr. Bush failed to prevent Kim Jong Il from joining the ranks of nuclear powers.

Despite even more ample warning than he received prior to 9/11, he lifted not a finger to keep a major American city safe from wind and water.

And what, finally, of the claim in the talking points... that Mr. Bush has always upheld, quote, "the honor and the dignity of his office"?

You must define dignity downward to find it in a lie.

The lie of "Mission Accomplished."

Of upholding the Constitution... or protecting habeas corpus.

That we do not eavesdrop without warrants... do not eavesdrop on Americans.

The lie that we do not torture.

That we do not play politics with justice... that we do not use the wheels of justice... to crush dissent.

That we do not betray those who serve us in secret.

That we uphold, rather than commute, the penalties for those who do.

That we do not stage fake news conferences, do not censor science... do not plant propaganda in Iraqi newspapers... nor pay US columnists to write it in American newspapers.

Or push respected Americans to vaporize their honor and dignity with lies to the world.

Or lie about the causes of the credit crisis, high gas prices, or even that he watched the first plane hit the North Tower on TV.

Where is the honor in vowing a crusade? Of daring those who would kill American troops to "bring it on?"

Of promising to care for the troops after you put them in harm's way, without body armor or up-armored vehicles?

Where was the honor, the dignity in giving a dead soldier's mother a presidential coin and telling her "don't sell it on eBay."?

His memo, revealing yet another lie.

He does care how history will portray him.

And now... he knows.

"It's time for members of Congress to address the pain that high gas prices are causing our citizens," the president said, while his oil buddies make record profits... "Every extra dollar that American families spend because of high gas prices is one less dollar they can use to put food on the table or send a child to college.** The American people deserve better.*"

**What i really mean: let them eat their own kids.

Why does President Bush hate America?

President Bush: “Probably true” that next attack will come from neglected Afghanistan...and he's not going to do anything about it

Adm. Mullen says: “The Taliban is growing bolder. Suicide attacks are on the rise, and so is the trade in illegal narcotics. Requirements exist there that we simply can not fill, and won’t likely be able to fill, until conditions improve in Iraq.”

It’s simply stunning that the President can sit there and admit with a straight face that the next attack is “probably” brewing in Afghanistan, and that’s he’s unwilling to devote more resources there even though his top military commander says he needs them.

being president is hard work (cont'd)

"I thought it was important to welcome these champs here to the White House, you know, to encourage people to fish," Bush said. "There’s nothing better than fishing..."

in baseball terms: Dumbya has dropped below the Mendoza Line

Looks like a lot of voters have flip-flopped....what do you have to say for yourselves?

Worse than Watergate: Bush scores lowest presidential approval rating EVER!

George W. Bush is now the most unpopular president in recorded American history.

Overall, 19% of Americans say that they approve of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president, 77% disapprove, and 4% are undecided.

eternal vigilance, Bush style

News item: ...an unnamed CIA briefer flew to Bush's Texas ranch to call the president's attention personally to the now-famous Aug. 6, 2001, memo titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." According to Suskind, Bush heard the briefer out and replied: "All right. You've covered your ass, now."

The state of your brain is dead.

2002: "The state of our union has never been stronger."
2003: "Our union is strong."
2004: "The state of our union is confident and strong."
2005: "The state of our union is confident and strong."
2006: "The state of our union is strong - and together we will make it stronger."
2007: "The state of our union is strong."
2008: "The state of our union will remain strong."

How You Can Fight Terrorism

"People say, how can I help on this war against terror? How can I fight evil? You can do so by mentoring a child; by going into a shut-in's house and say I love you."--rezzziDUNCE, Washington, DC; 9/19/02

Also, go out and spend a lot of money this Christmas.

a mind is a terrible thing to waste

"But it's also a time of war for our country. I wish I did not have to report that, but it's the truth. It's the way it is in the world in which we live."--Dumbya, today

Yes, you're right, and do you know why? YOU STARTED THE WAR! YOU!! Uh, did you forget that? Is there ANYTHING in your head?

It's the way it is in the world in which we live (whew...) because of the idiot who contructed that sentence.

Also, go phokk yourself.

how idiots go to war

By listening to dimwit phokks like Curveball and believing them (or pretending to).

Joe Biden going after the Smiff vote?

from politifact.com:

"The president is brain-dead."--Joe Biden on July 4th, 2007 in Des Moines, Iowa

Irresponsible claim (and wrong medical diagnosis)

During a campaign stop in Iowa on July 4, the six-term senator declared, “This guy is brain-dead.”

It’s an extreme charge, since brain death is defined as “irreversible unconciousness with complete loss of brain function” (Encyclopedia of Death and Dying).

Needless to say, we find the charge ridiculous. There’s no evidence Biden performed the necessary medical tests to make such a diagnosis. We would have accepted the results of a cerebral blood flow study or proof that Biden had examined Bush to see if he had an oculocephalic reflex.

Indeed, even people who disagree with the president about Iraq and assorted other issues will acknowledge that the president has spontaneous respiration and is responding to stimuli.

George Bush thinks Nelson Mandela is dead and Saddam Hussein killed him?!?!

UPDATE: Apparently, Dumbya was just making a bad analogy here. Or was he? Hard to tell when you're dealing with an idiot as big as he is. I stand by it - Bush thinks that Mandela is an Iraqi and Saddam had him killed. And, of course, if we gave a shit about brutal tyrants we wouldn't have supported Saddam throught the 1980's. Funny sidebar: Dick "Dick" (Dick) Cheney considered Mandela a terrorist. Of course, so did most HYOOOGE amoral a$$holes who didn't find apartheid objectionable.

I mean, there have been hundreds, maybe thousands, of whoppers, but this one may ultimately be the winner:

GWB: Saddam killed Mandelas

Part of the reason why there is not this instant democracy in Iraq is because people are still recovering from Saddam Hussein’s brutal rule. I thought an interesting comment was made when somebody said to me, I heard somebody say, where’s Mandela? Well, Mandela is dead, because Saddam Hussein killed all the Mandelas. He was a brutal tyrant that divided people up and split families, and people are recovering from this. So there’s a psychological recovery that is taking place. And it’s hard work for them. And I understand it’s hard work for them. Having said that, I’m not going to give them a pass when it comes to the central government’s reconciliation efforts.

So is he saying that he meant to invade South Africa? I don't know what's more depressing, that this mindless douchebag was "elected" twice, or that roughly 1/3rd of U.S. Americans still think he's doing a swell job.

speaking of dumb Dumbya quotes

"It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America."--Dakar, Senegal; 7/8/03

on da udderhand, Putin does have a much better grasp of the english language

"You saw the president yesterday. I thought he was very forward-leaning, as they say in diplomatic nuanced circles."--Dumbya referring to his meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin; Rome; 7/23/01
