Honesty and the Bush administration are twains that never shall meet, if this installment of Bushed! is an indication.
Our first scandal is an oldie but goodie. Rep. Henry Waxman has recently come into possession of an edited version of the FBI interview with Scooter Libby and whaddya know? It turns out that maybe--just maybe--Dick Cheney did tell Scooter Libby to leak the name of Valerie Plame to the press.
Next up is the news that the judge in the Guantanamo trial of a Canadian citizen Omar Khadr, has been replaced, for reasons "completely unrelated" to the fact that he threatened to suspend the proceedings over the government's reluctance to release paperwork necessary to Khadr's defense team. Right, I'm sure it is completely unrelated. Say, how successful terrorism trials can the Bush administration count?
And finally, there is the Man In The Oval Office himself. After likening Democratic nominee Barack Obama to a Nazi appeaser for daring to say that he would meet with and speak to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he finds himself in an awkward spot, seeing as his man in Iraq, Nouri al-Maliki is doing just that as well, in an effort to strengthen economic and diplomatic ties between the two countries. Oops!
That’s correct, by Mr. Bush’s definition, his man in Iraq, for whose government 4,100 Americans have died, is himself the equivalent of a Nazi appeaser.

Bush is the NAZI, that is clear!
keith you know the deal............hypocrite
Ya know, I mentioned this little factoid on another thread the other day... They just don't make puppet governments like they used to.... Tough break Chimpy.... Maybe if you weren't a scheming little weasel yourself maybe.... Ahh, I ain't gonna rant any further on this.. The ramifications are too painfully obvious...
The real tragedy is the 4000 plus and who knows how many lives maimed and displaced because of oil and Bush's greed and ego.................JD
Jack Damage @ 3:
he doesn't care and he believes he knows better than you do... you don't understand the threat were under....that's the neocon philosophy....the guy has an inferiority complex that won't quit
So does this mean that al-Maliki hates us for the freedoms we're trying to give him? I'm confused..
But just wait for his "October Surprise". It should be a dilly
Considering the Bush family history regarding Nazism, is this any surprise? George the Dumb is destroying our political system, our economy, our standing in the world community, and our constitution. What's four thousand dead soldiers and countless dead Iraqi and Afghani civilians to him anyway? Part of his historical legacy? Crimes against humanity? Meaningless numbers? Time will tell...
Meanwhile, according to general Basbug, NATO partner Turkey is working with Iran to fight the PKK on Iraqi soil.

Oh what a tangled web we weave...
What does it matter to the boy-king? He'll ride off into the sunset to Paraguay with his millions and his neocon henchmen will attempt to rewrite history in a few years.

he's being paid to like it

Truer words were never spoken.
'Cause neither are on the same twain twack.
Nazi appeaser, Nazi supporter, the Bushes know all about both sides of that coin.
Of course, everyone knew they are all liars. Boosh on down, Judas Miller, and Novack, too were lying then and are still lying now.
QUESTION: In legal fees, and all other related costs to all investigations, not just Plamegate, HOW MUCH of our money was wasted???? More than an impeachment trial for a BJ????
With traitors like the booshies and the elite media, who the hell needs TERRISTS(insert fake TX. twang)to take our country down????
Waxman needs to step on it............I want to see chainee and boosh's wages garnished, stock dividends seized, etc.............we need to refill the coffers that the fake CONServatives have stripped bare.
Cheney's FBI interrogation video regarding the Plame affair, so something could be on the table soon then, goodie.
bush's grandfather was a nazi.
i wonder if he would talk to iran or not?
jreed @ 6:
You are so right and it is very scary!! Bush, the IDIOT, has no shame and no smarts!! He is still a drunken frat boy! The damage yet to come from his (and Mr. Nasty's) actions before January will be "shock and awe" to the decent American people!! Be worried, be very worried what these two moral-less pigs do in the coming months!!
A pea sir.
GE/MSNBC just wants to slap the Bush/MIC on the wrist with these segments. They should have a segment on impeachment, that would be some real punishment.
This is why it is so important of capture the white house this time around. I'm still not sure democrats have the stomach to prosicute Bush and other white house staff memebers, on the Plame issue, but I think all this executive privlige bullshit (correct me if I'm wrong) will be a moot issue after Feb. 2009. Then folks will/can talk and all the sordid details are likely land these jerks in jail. Look for Obama and the Dems. to "pardon" them though in order to "heal the union".
With Bush/Cheney, the big difference is that the corporatocracy is nakedly apparent. It is indeed fascism.
With many of the Dems, sadly, they just try to hide it with palatable horseshit. Which is why, one of the reasons, that 2-bit worthless hack refused to put impeachment on the table.
And you know, McBush is crap and Obama will be less worse--but unless we hold his and Congress feet to the FIRE, they will NOT give us universal healthcare, workers rights, a clean environment, or make government a watchdog of the outrageous rapes and economic genocides of Pharma, Agribusiness, Big Oil and the fucking slugs and parasites of Wall Street that are hastening our world to a global first: a mass extinction produced by our very own psychotic species.
George W. Bush, frat boy first class. As they say in Texas, he couldn't pour pee out of a boot even if the instructions were on the bottom of the heel.
Why would anyone with a brain or a conscience associate themselves with the Republican party?
TakeOurCountryBack @ 23:
I'm paraphrasing horribly an exchange I heard where a woman said to Adlai Stevenson during his presidential campaign in the 50s, "Every thinking American will vote for you!"
and he replied, along the lines,
"thank you, ma'am, but I need a majority!"
Bush Jr. is following in his grandfather Prescott Bush's footsteps. Of course daddy Bush is up there too.

One by one all the cover ups, lies and criminal acts of the whitewash house are coming out into the open. When truth seekers first started to speak of the transgressions of these gangsters they were said to be" left wing nut-jobs, bush haters, and conspiracy theorist", out to destroy the country. It won't be long before someone comes forward or evidence will be uncovered that will show that a group of power crazy nuts, inside our government, commited the unspeakable, to gain their objectives and the advancement of their psychotic ideologies.The evidence and cold facts are growing just as fast as the cover stories and lies are coming apart at the seams. Their are a lot of naive people who just can't believe our government would commit such monstrous crimes, in spite of the fact that we have a long history of undercover CIA or intell operations to overthrow governments or their leaders or start a conflict for our gain. Remember the Maine, the gulf of Tonkin, and likley many more. You can indeavor to twist facts, but you can't make them go away.---CEO
