US Attorney given $1.5 million payoff by Republican firm to drop probe of California congressman

Ms. Yang says she left for personal reasons, but there is growing evidence that the White House was intent on removing her. Kyle Sampson, the Justice Department staff member in charge of the firings, told investigators last month in still-secret testimony that Harriet Miers, the White House counsel at the time, had asked him more than once about Ms. Yang. He testified, according to Congressional sources, that as late as mid-September, Ms. Miers wanted to know whether Ms. Yang could be made to resign

"an all-time low for this president.."

You'd think that phrase wouldn't be so common.

But According to the new NEWSWEEK Poll, the public’s approval of Bush has sunk to 28 percent, an all-time low for this president in our poll, and a point lower than Gallup recorded for his father at Bush Sr.’s nadir.

Stupid repuglicans, saying and believing dumb things.

I, for one, found it extremely "reassuring" that only three out of ten of the Republican candidates for president don't believe in evolution. And only nine out of ten said it would be a good day if Roe v Wade were repealed. Hey, it could have been worse.

Wolfowitz tries to hold onto his job.

Former Bank Official: Wolfowitz Erred

Actually it's not inexplicable at all.

I really wonder whether his failure to distinguish between necessary toughness and catastrophically shoot-ourselves-(America)-in-our-foot pigheadedness results from biological anomaly. His inability to harvest experience, and so to think and form successful judgements, is just so inexplicable".

Can't you just smell the suffering?

Yes folks - when it comes to Iraq, no-one suffers more than George and Laura Bush.

"Mission Accomplished?"

Karl Rove will have them arrested shortly, their tax files reviewed and place under surveillance as domestic terrorist.

Dick Cheney's shawdow intel team forged the Niger documents

TUCKER: So the Vice President you believe forged — now if the Vice President was behind that forgery, don't you think he would have done a better job?

MCGOVERN: I don't think he and Lynn, you know, sat down and did it. I think they farmed it out to a cottage industry of former intelligence agents that did a rather amateurish job.

White House, Gonzales Ordered All Of DoJ Politicized

White House posed a serious threat to the integrity of the criminal-justice system because it gave Sampson, Goodling, and the White House control over the hiring of senior officials in the Justice Department's Criminal Division, which oversees all politically sensitive public corruption cases, at the same time that they held authority to hire and fire U.S. attorneys.

Election night 2004: Repugs simple redirect official government traffic t RNC servers and changed the vote count for Dear Leader.

The web redirection on Election Night of 2004 went a step beyond this: Not only did the official website of the Ohio Department of State look just right, but it had the right address: http://election.sos.state.oh.us . Any citizen or press service looking for real time election results from the state of Ohio would have been directed here. In every sense, this SMARTech site became the official vote tabulation for the state of Ohio.

You know? We're glad this POS is dead too...

More than anyone, this man was responsible for the entrenchment of the existing distribution system that now exists to promote major product to the exclusion of all others. He and his team used the MPAA to shore up the studios at the expense of independent producers. They did it using the cover of dopey housewives and petulant industry washouts as "reviewers" while always being overseen and manipulated by studio industry tentacles.

And, he is screwing Condi Rice!

the President’s wife being secretly separated from him because, among other things, he is drinking again. Now the marriage business is merely titillating. I have no idea if President Bush and Secretary of State Rice are really sleeping together or not. I’d like to know because I’m a writer, and writers are incurable gossips.

But if the man who has the authority to launch nuclear weapons all on his say-so is an alcoholic who has gone back on the sauce because of the pressure of his job, that seems to me to be fucking news! The public has the right to know that. And from what I can tell this seems to be the open secret among journalists that some people claimed Valerie Plame’s real job was, something “everybody knows” but nobody is saying. A president who has claimed absolute power based on a couple of stray clauses in the Constitution and a couple of dodgy recent laws is an addict who has fallen back into his habit.
That seems important.

Bush to Democrats: do not 'test my will' on Iraq

"It's the will of one nation....versus the stubbornness of one man."

28% Approval rating for Chimpy! A new low!

People just hate repugs.

She leaves you, you're alone and wounded. Not even dead. She didn't love you and she fucks someone else now. Cheers!

Oh, and she doesn't nearly cry as much when she leaves you.
