The Dog Ate My Presidency

Wow. I just watched GW's first "exit interview" with Charles Gibson on ABC. Was this man actually elected President of the United States twice? (Okay once)

Bush said he didn't "sell his soul for politics." No, but he did sell the country to his friends. Taxpayers were swindled out of trillions of dollars handed over to Bush's cronies for no-bid contracts in Iraq, New Orleans, the "War On Terrorism", "Faith-Based Initiatives" and countless other unknown programs that will be uncovered in the next couple of decades.

In the interview he said his biggest regret was the intelligence failure in Iraq. Taking no responsibility what-so-ever, he blamed the failure on other administrations. Regarding the economy he said he's sorry that it's happening but it's not his fault, blaming his predecessors again. He didn't feel that he was a hindrance to John McCain's presidential campaign. His biggest disappointment? That there were no WMD's in Iraq. Rats!

This is a pathetic little man with absolutely no idea of the carnage and destruction he has caused this planet. He ran the country like he ran his baseball team, the Texas Rangers, although he probably respected the sanctity of baseball a lot more than the sanctity of human life.

This guy does not have a friggin' clue. How do you walk through life so oblivious? There are still bodies floating in the streets of Galveston, he has succeeded in destroying the entire city of New Orleans, he started a war in Iraq because he wanted to, thousands of Americans died in an act of terrorism on his watch, the economy is in a shambles, good people are losing their jobs and homes, they can't afford to see a doctor and this moron smiles like he doesn't have a care in the world. This is what happens folks, when you vote for someone you'd rather have a beer with.

Good God, this man is beyond contempt. He has absolutely no respect for the country or the people. He doesn't have the capability for empathy or any self-introspection. I have a gut feeling that when he looks at himself in the mirror, he still believes that his biggest mistake was trading Sammy Sosa.

Shame on him for doing this to us. Shame on us for letting him.

Spineless Weasels

So the Senate Democrats decided to let Joe Lieberman keep his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Oversight Committee. What a bunch of spineless weasels.
This just goes to prove that the welfare of their buddies in the "Most Exclusive Club In America" goes well before principals.

This is why Republicans usually win elections. This is why Republicans control the media. This is why Republicans filibuster while Democrats cower and form "Gangs of Fourteen." This is why talk radio is blanketed with conservatives and progressives have to scream at the top of their lungs to be heard. This is everything that is wrong with politics.

Maybe it's just me but if someone goes out on a crusade to destroy your political party, lies about Obama's record regarding funding the troops, speaks at the Republican convention, campaigns in close elections against democrats (see Al Franken), holds no oversight hearings in order to protect the crimes of George W. Bush, I think a little more than a gentle slap on the wrist is in order.

This is an insult to democrats everywhere who gave their money and time to fight the other Joe Liebermans known as republicans. What an insult to us all.

I guess membership does have its privileges. Shame on them.

The Further Adventures of Joe Lieberman

At a super secret closed door meeting in Washington today, senate democrats met to decide Joe Lieberman's fate with the party. Lieberman has spent the year campaigning vigorously for republican candidates and bashing fellow democrats. Although there were no reports as to what went on, Lieberman emerged from the room with a big smile and a large bruise over his left eye.

"Well fellas, I'm still a member of the Democrat party" he laughed to reporters. "And I get to keep my chairmanship of the Homeland Security Oversight Committee! Not too shabby. Heh heh heh."

Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland emerged from the meeting with a torn blouse and a noticeable limp. When asked to comment she replied "The United States Senate is a very exclusive club. We don't rat on each other, Bub. What happens in the senate, stays in the senate." As other senators left the conference room in various states of disarray, reporters tried in vain to find out what went on behind closed doors. "That's for us to know and for you to find out, Pally" muttered a physically exhausted Daniel Akaka.

One hour later a jubilant Lieberman issued a statement that he was "heading to Georgia to stump for his good friend Republican Saxby Chambliss and announced that his committee would start exhaustive hearings regarding improper conduct of President-Elect Obama the day after he takes office. See ya suckers!"

When told of Lieberman's statement, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid winced and replied "D'oh!"

Election Wrap-Up

Is it just me or does Joe The Plumber look like Benito Mussolini? And sometimes think like him too?

All the good campaign songs are written by Democrats. McCain uses a song once, then the writer threatens to sue him if he uses it again and before you know it, all you have left is tired, recycled crap from Hank Williams Jr.

How does Barack Obama stay so thin? I think the White House Chef is going to have it easy.

Worst commercial: Liddy Dole's disgusting anti-Christian smear on now Senator-Elect Kay Hagen.

Best commercial: Mike Gravel's silent stroll on the riverbank and contemplation of a rock. Wow, it must have been even better if you watched it stoned.

Hey! Where's Bill Clinton? Anybody see him lately? What happened to Bubba? He was just here. I saw him kissing up to his good buddy John McCain on The View and now he's disappeared. Awwwww, is he still pouting? It wouldn't surprise me if Hillary files for divorce next year.

Sarah Palin defiantly has bigger plans for the future. She loves the attention. Palin is either going to take over Ted Steven's senate seat and use it as a springboard for her 2012 presidential run or end up as a hand model for the Home Shopping Network. "Alaska, I'm outta here!"

Pretty sad state of affairs when the only people on television to ask the candidates the tough questions were Jon Stewart and David Letterman. They should host the next round of debates.

Biggest morons of the entire election cycle: The Connecticut democrats who voted for Joe Lieberman. Suckers!

Those holograms on CNN's election night coverage were the silliest things I've ever seen. Wolf Blitzer looked like he was talking to Carrie Fisher's image from the first Star Wars movie.

Joe Biden did pretty well for himself. Nobody really made fun of him and now he gets to be Vice President. Sweet.

Kudos to Sarah Silverman's "The Great Schlep." Never underestimate the power of Jewish guilt.

I really like Michelle Obama. She's got guts and a lot of class.

So much for the genius of Karl Rove. Think Bush will give him a pre-emptive pardon? You betcha!

John McCain the war hero died in September at the Republican convention. He'll be remembered more for the disgraceful, divisive campaign he ran. He could have put a stop to the lynch mob mentality of the crowds but he didn't. And giving a gracious concession speech doesn't make up for all the damage he did. He stoked the fires of hate for his own personal ambition. Irresponsible, dangerous and Joe McCarthy like. That's his legacy and he's stuck with it.

Don't forget to add Ronald Reagan to the list of biggest losers in the 2008 campaign. The Gipper's "Trickle Down Economics" sounds more like an ad for Depends than a fiscal plan to grow America.

Since the Americans McCain and Palin targeted to as "not real Americans" beat the "real Americans," does that mean former "real Americans" are now "not real Americans?" Just asking.

What ever happened to that wacko PUMA lady from the Denver convention? She had a crazy eyes and looked like she was ready to pull a Lorenna Bobbitt on Chris Mathews. Verrrry scary.

Springsteen's "The Rising" was the perfect song for the Obama campaign. Hope he plays it at the inauguration.

Hey look over there! It's Bill Clinton issuing a congratulatory statement to President-Elect Obama! Whoops, no it's not.

Can't wait to tell the first republican I meet who's upset about the election to "Get Over It."

I guess education is back in vogue now. And accountability. And human decency.

Can the idiots on the right start using the proper word "DEMOCRATIC party" now? Do they realize how stupid they look constantly referring to it as the Democrat party?

Hey Governor Palin, Greece is a country in Europe. "Grease" is a Broadway musical. Just trying to help you out.

I wonder if some dupes down south are going to rename their schools in honor of George W. Bush. They can't be THAT stupid. Then again.... Possible name for their sports teams: "The George W Bush Fighting Incompetent Lying Bastards."

Favorite images of the campaign. The massive crowds that flocked to hear Barack Obama's vision of America and a clueless John McCain wandering in front of the camera at the second debate.

If you still think your vote doesn't count, don't tell it to Al Franken.

Now that everything Chicago is going to be in the limelight, I hope their hot dogs don't become the new "In" food. It's like eating a salad on a bun.

Hey, how bout that "Bradley Effect?"

I get the feeling that Bush, Rove and the rest of the Republicans knew that the economy was going to tank big time. They just thought it would happen after the inaugural in January and then they could blame it on the new president. Well, guess the joke's on them..... and us.

This just in. Bill Clinton is on TV right now saying he will do whatever he can to assist the new President-Elect. Nope. It's Lou Holtz on ESPN talking about the Alabama – LSU game. My bad.

Only 1,160 days till the Iowa caucuses. Better start shopping now, Ms. Palin!

One For The Low Road

It's the day before the election and John McCain has just unleashed his most desperate ad yet. Yes it's the anti-American, anti- Jewish, anti-white, anti-disestablishment Jeremiah Wright, back for an encore. Stay classy, John McCain.

You know, I'm not one for predictions. I bought stock in Sony after they unveiled their beta VCR's. However, I think I'm going to go out on a limb here and, barring massive corruption, voter suppression and fraud, Barack Obama is going to win tomorrow. This Wright ad will have no effect on anyone or anything except the legacy of McCain.

What's the point John? Couldn't help yourself? Introducing noted foreign relations expert Joe The Plumber to the American zeitgeist didn't do enough damage? You just wanted one last chance to slime Obama for the sake of sliming him? You're no hero anymore. You're pathetic. This is how you're going to be remembered. A nasty old racist. Now I don't think you're really a nasty racist in your heart (You ARE old though), but that's the image you've embraced. Desperation is ugly, and it's become hard to watch you and Sarah Palin in recent days.

We're all exhausted with this election. It's hard to get up every morning and hate your fellow Americans. How do you do it? Steroids?

You had a chance to go out on a high note. You blew it. Doesn't surprise me. The only surprise will be if you pull off stealing the election.
