Apparently, there is a war going on..or something.

George W Bush: the Manchurian President

So, repuglicants are happy to have an incompetent fool of a president ruin the US because..he's a repuglicant. This is why the US will be destroyed from within. Repuglicants care more about power, their own selfishness in fact, than the US nation as a whole.

In other words, Bartlett is praising the president for not intentionally undermining the United States government. (Indeed, Bush won a second term, Bartlett said, because he “tried” to do the right thing. This will no doubt help separate him from those other presidents who tried to do the wrong thing.)

It’s good to know. Even when it seems as if Bush might be some kind of Manchurian President, deliberately weakening the country, Bartlett wants us all to know that Bush is “doing something” and he thinks his decisions are what’s “best for this country.”

Talk about your soft bigotry of low expectations….

US Astronaughts break International Space Station: Russians blame US

Engineers are studying whether a new solar-power unit - installed by (US) astronauts earlier today - is the cause of the problem and whether disconnecting it to reboot the computers would resolve it.

The failure occurred in computers on the Russian segment of the 16-nation space station - computers that control navigation and critical life-support systems on the huge orbital base.

Without them, the station cannot maintain proper orbit and the crew cannot stay on board.

Harry Reid tell Dick Pace to his face that he's fucking incompetent.

Good for Harry. If Dick Pace had any shame, he'd off himself for being a psychopathic kiss ass. How much misery has that fuck caused? And as a bonus, he's weakened a nation! A two fer!!

Mystery solved: Reid confronted Gen. Dick Pace because no one else apparently will

That creepy, loser aWol hits a new low.

US PRESIDENT George W. Bush's approval rating has dropped to 29 per cent in an NBC News/Wage Slave Journal poll released today.

Same photographer. Exactly 35 years apart.

One photo was important to the dirty fucking hippies. The other is important to Chimpy's Compassionate Conservative America. Can u tell which is which?

Phan Thi Kim Phuc was crying because napalm - black, oily blazing jellied gasoline - was burning the skin off her back.

Paris Hilton was crying because she had just been told she had to serve her 23-day jail sentence in jail....But these tears, it turns out, had something in common: Exactly thirty-five years apart, they both ended up in the lens of Nick Ut's camera.

As usual, Oliver Willis sums up civily what we would do very, very rudely.

Which is why we really like the guy:

To sum up - I don't think God was really actively rooting for Tony Dungy in the Superbowl. But I think that the Universal Power was pleased when Doug Williams threw four touchdowns in one quarter in January of 1987.

Well played as usual Oliver.

"another horendous setback for the bush administration"

How many more times will the US be reading that line?

President George W. Bush lacks the power to order the military to seize and indefinitely detain a Qatari national and suspected al Qaeda operative who is the only person being held in the United States as an "enemy combatant," a U.S. appeals court ruled on Monday.

In a major setback for the Bush's policies in the war on terrorism adopted after the September 11 attacks, the appellate panel ruled the government's evidence afforded no basis to treat Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri as an "enemy combatant" and ordered his release from military custody.

You stupid, horrid, criminal, POS. Fuck you.

You see, you did know there were no WMD's. The Weapons inspectors told you that. You are on tape saying that Saddam was not a threat. Let's repeat that. Before the war you were video taped saying Saddam was not a threat.

But you lied and sold your soul to the criminals in the repuglican party so Chimpy could have his abortion of a war in Iraq. So, fuck you Colin. You're a goddam fucking liar. Go to hell, bitch.

"If we knew then what we know today, that there were no weapons of mass destruction, I would have had nothing to take to the United Nations," replied Powell. "We rested our case on the existence of weapons of mass destruction that were a threat to us and could be given to terrorists making it another kind of threat to us. I think without that weapons of mass destruction case the justification would not have been there ..."

Yea, 'cause when you are a lying sack of shit, people point it out to you.

When representatives of the news media asked that the letters be released, Mr. Libby’s lawyers argued against that, saying it “needlessly risks undermining the fair administration of justice.”

Then, alluding to the sometimes combative world of online media, they added there was “the real possibility that these letters, once released, would be published on the Internet and their authors discussed, even mocked, by bloggers.”
