So I wonder how Obama's weekend was. Seems the Bilderberg group had a weekend meeting in Northern Virginia...hmm didnt Hillary and Obama meet in Northern Virginia too this weekend?
So strange how the media isn't talking about their weekend activity.
Funny you should bring up Kanye, as George Bush has moved on from not caring to completely ignoring black people. The Pentagon tried to dispose
of evidence used against it in torture cases. OPEC's not interested in pumping more oil. Corporations are forced to give it away to get more clients. And a gay Episcopal bishop gets hitched in NH.
That was the first night that we could say that the Bush presidency was slowly in decline. That was either just before or just after Olbermann's first special comment criticizing Bush, Fema, and Chertoff.
George Bushs' kind of people in his own words are the "haves and the have mores". I do not believe George Bush is raceist. He hates poor people and middle class people no matter what color. The only color he sees is green.
Smirky ghoul......that's an apt description of GWB's darkness. Bugliosi compares him to Charles Manson. Clinically GWB is a sociopath. The entire Bush dynasty is mentally ill.

Bush and the republicans didn't care about helping. They immediately started pointing fingers at democrats. They called it a blame game. Only to republicans would people's lives be a game.
Smirky Ghoul's resemblance to Ted Bundy has always creeped me out big-time. You are correct, Comrade Rou, the entire Bush family are sick bastards ... dark, evil and twisted.
Because this is an open thread. I want to bring up a point I heard Richard Clarke make on KO's show. Perhaps you heard it as well. Clarke aptly stated that society should not allow Bushco continue to profit, after the current Bush term is over, as a benefit of having served in a Presidential administration (and that includes the idiot son, W). Society can not pretend that nothing immoral or wrong did not happen. As Americans we can't ignore what was done in our name. War crimes, suspension of civil liberties, torture, you name it were done based on a lie. We can't allow it to stand, and if we do, we, as a society are nearly as culpable as those who committed those crimes against this country. Clarke recommends that there be a "reconciliation commission which would allow those who perpetrated these crimes to ask for forgiveness, and if they do ask, they would be allowed to participate in society (Personally, I think the whole lot of them should go to jail, but I know that won't happen). If they don't admit their transgressions, then they we as a society are duty bound to try ( I don't know if that is the correct spelling) them.
As I see it, those responsible for these crimes against the world, America and the Constitution should at the very least go the same route as OJ Simpson. Any thoughts?

I have long said that these people should be stripped of their wealth. No matter where it came from. They owe the world. They should not be allowed to be comfortable in any way.
He is a proven war criminal, he admittedly broke the rules of the Geneva Convention by authorizing torture, he flat out lied our country into war, his close personal family friends in the Oil industry are currently raping us monetarily, all of these are facts.
We should really prosecute these criminals, but if that isn't politically tenable then we should use truth and reconciliation. Imagine if Gerald Ford hadn't pardoned Richard Nixon and his vile conduct had been completely exposed-- we wouldn't have all these shameless and unreconstructed Nixonian thugs that litter government.

True enough. But like Chris Rock says, when they had that big fire in southern california, chimpy mcflightsuit was down there in a FLASH using the water from Katrina to put out the flames. Lot of rich white people in that area, ya know.
that was great! I love the looks on Mike Myer's and Chris Rocks faces... priceless. I agree with above comments, George Bush wants to ruin everything possible, it its not that he doesn't care, it is that he is so wrong all the time that he comes close to EVIL.

Why is nothing being done?
What can we do, any suggestions?
I don't think anything was done because of the brilliant (said not as a positive affirmation) way that the Republicans played the fear card. However, people have started to realize they were "played" by Bushco. For many it is easier to ignore their mistakes and that is why there has not been a groundswell of anger and demands for accountability.
I think the best we can do is to follow Richard Clarke's advice that I wrote about up thread. It may not be commensurate with the crime, and I think society should treat them the way Alberto Gonzolez is being treated.

I agree that Bush doesn't care about anybody. But I am glad that someone had to say it. Katrina was a travesty. I miss New Orleans. And, I am very saddened to what happened to the people there in the Gulf Coast (including those affected by Rita). The deaths make me sad. And it still angers me regarding the federal government's response to the disaster.
There are folks who knock Kanye West for what he said, but I believe that if they watched what went down during those days they'd eat their words.
Happy Birthday, Kanye. Thank you for your courage at that one moment to open the world's eyes.
McCain was eating birthday cake with George W. Bush during the Katrina/Bush Administration Catastrophe. He failed to mention that during his "Night of the Living Dead" speech he gave in Louisianna last week.

when will the media call him on that. for that matter, Obama better not think that's too mean to bring up!
LIEberman heads the committee that is supposed to oversee the NOLa resurrection. '
He has let $2B in contract fraud go uninvestigated.
It's OK to hate him now, right? When is Harry Reid going to make it stop?
No way, the best part is the half a second you get to see Chris Tucker with his eyes totally wide and his jaw dropped open. He recovers well, but you can tell that there's about half a second where he's completely stunned.
Mike Myers, meanwhile, just does a double take, which is funny, but Tucker's look of complete astonishment is what I always think of when I see this clip.
Kanye wasn't quite correct: George Bush doesn't care about anybody who isn't on his mother's Christmas card list.
He WAS correct - he just didn't take it far enough.
*
KKKarl masterminded the decision to do nothing with the objective being that by shipping 280,000 black (about 98% of whom were Dem) voters out of NOLa and out of La, with no return trip in the bargain, that they would instantly create a majority repug city and state. Nagin, who had switched to Dem from Repug, then switched back to repug.
I've never forgotten Myers' face in that clip, either. I admire Kanye for having the guts to say the truth and be damned with the consequences. Like when that gulf coast resident told Cheney to go eff himself when he showed up for his little vice-presidential photo-op.
Bravo to the true heroes like Kanye and the common people for having the courage to stand up to these phony, criminal liars.
In all fairness to Mike Myers he was trying to raise some money to help those in desperate need (did any one of them get any?) in the meantime the rest of us were going nuts over the lack of action and Kanye West said what was on a lot of people's minds. Mike was not ready for it and his first thought must have been, "Will this piss people off and keep them from helping?"

I remember that day when I saw Kanye's words. I think he said what a lot of folks were thinking and feeling during that time.
And to think of it, Bush wasn't even embarrassed by what his mother said (about the folks in the Astrodome in Houston) as well as his own response to this disaster by doing fly-overs (except for Trent Lott to receive FEMA money before anyone else.).

But even as Mrs Clinton was preparing to formally concede the race yesterday and throw her weight behind her former rival, various coalitions of her most loyal supporters were considering ways to still, somehow, back her – no matter the consequence in November.
“In the hearts of her ardent supporters, we know she’s the best one this time or 2012, which is why we’re willing to put [Senator John] McCain in for four years and [then] have another go at it,” said Thuc Nguyen, 32, a graduate student at the University of California who is part of a burgeoning group known as PUMA, which stands for Party Unity My A—.
[...]
Pam Hamilton, a Clinton supporter who works in sales in Medford, Oregon, and who started a website called ClintonDems, said a lot of women are feeling the four words about party unity that gave PUMA its acronym. She, and others, talk of Mr Obama in terms of inexperience and lack of substance, while complaining of unfair treatment of Mrs Clinton, both by the Democratic National Committee and by the media.
Ms Hamilton suggested she was not sure whom she will vote for – “My dream is that somehow Hillary gets on the ticket” – or whether she will even vote. But the longer she talked, the more it seemed she already had made up her mind. “With neither of them really appealing to my sensibilities, I have to look at who’s more experienced and who do I feel most comfort with, and it’s John McCain,” she said. “We know him.”
It is unclear what effect the PUMA crowd will have in November, if any, but its ranks are mobilising. Ms Nguyen helped launch last week what she described as the group’s official website, gopumaparty.com, although there are several ad hoc offshoots.
Well, well, well. How can we have party unity with this going on? Just asking.

Great debaters was absolutely one of the best recent movies out.
NOLA was real and i had just read an article about a year before that described the worst case scenerio. I knew this was gonna suck almost a week before it hit, I had no idea Bush and company would laugh it off and go fishing.
I use netflix, 100,000+ movies for as little as 5 bucks a month. You can't go wrong and they have several hundred you can watch online.
I have a blockbuster plan for mail order movies. and some I buy, first run, because it's cheapest. GD I own, along with 4LG. Spike planned the extension as a followup a year later, since you have 4DVDs, you probably have that version. I am going to buy that one after I determine that there are no more additions.

Nagin, who had switched to Dem from Repug, then switched back to repug.
I've never forgotten Myers' face in that clip, either. I admire Kanye for having the guts to say the truth and be damned with the consequences. Like when that gulf coast resident told Cheney to go eff himself when he showed up for his little vice-presidential photo-op.
Bravo to the true heroes like Kanye and the common people for having the courage to stand up to these phony, criminal liars.
In all fairness to Mike Myers he was trying to raise some money to help those in desperate need (did any one of them get any?) in the meantime the rest of us were going nuts over the lack of action and Kanye West said what was on a lot of people's minds. Mike was not ready for it and his first thought must have been, "Will this piss people off and keep them from helping?"

Thanks. :-)
I remember that day when I saw Kanye's words. I think he said what a lot of folks were thinking and feeling during that time.
And to think of it, Bush wasn't even embarrassed by what his mother said (about the folks in the Astrodome in Houston) as well as his own response to this disaster by doing fly-overs (except for Trent Lott to receive FEMA money before anyone else.).
And yes, I love Kanye's music as well. :)

if obama fights clean he will lose......gop very dirty will do anything to win....we all know that by now i hope
xoites defends Constitution @ 65:
I think you're right or close. I think Meyers was unprepared.

It's not dirty to bring up the literal congruence of marie antoinette's "let them eat cake" with McCunt having boosh over for some birthday cake while people are drowning.
CoIntelPro for Pronktastic Democratic Party Victory @ 63:
That's why KKKarl deserves to go to prison for a long time. He's been doing this stuff since Watergate and always managed to slip through the cracks.
I'm hoping that someone out there will do the right thing and bring this bozo to justice.
And thanks for your comments above about my response regarding Kanye West. I love his albums as well! And I think what he did took a lot of courage. And yes, I'll never forget the look on Mike Myers' face. He looked like a deer in the head-lights.
I am still working up the nerve to watch the second part of "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" by Spike Lee.
It is very good part hard to take.
part=but* (in my non mathematical head.)
xoites defends Constitution @ 65:
Spot on. That's what Myers said he was thinking about when asked about his reaction.
The Very Bitter Ceci Hussein @ 68:
Thank you right back!
There's a recent movie with mark wahlberg that comes to mind...
xoites defends Constitution @ 69:
is that the version with the followup?
And, being Canadian, Myers is polite. He was a guest in your country. xoites has it right.
The other thing I've been wondering was about this P.U.M.A. thing that a lot of Hill's folks have been sporting.
Well, now I've found out:
Well, well, well. How can we have party unity with this going on? Just asking.
Shout out to xoites, PtG, CIP, clady and allyall :)
Gotta go now, will check back later....
;-}

I really don't know, but it is four DVD's and i think it is the whole thing.
Here is another blast from the past as reported in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper. Barbara Bush is fully quoted.

Bower has to be a complete fucking idiot. Does he not know that the POTUS will probably picking the next SCOTUS. Some of these people have such shallow thought processes.

right baklatcha, P2B!

nevermind, don't answer that. we're in mixed company.
xoites defends Constitution @ 77:
it's on sale at HBO, right?
I use netflix, 100,000+ movies for as little as 5 bucks a month. You can't go wrong and they have several hundred you can watch online.
CoIntelPro for Pronktastic Democratic Party Victory @ 72:
Oh, yes, I agree about the movie. But, I believe the cesspool of corruption in America's government is so deep that it is like quicksand. I doubt that even the players know which end is up. And that's a sorry fact.
But I continue to hope that someone will do the right thing and show this country that yes, we can finally achieve some semblance of justice.
Btw, you're very welcome. :)
The Very Bitter Ceci Hussein @ 75:
The more that this kind of thing gets traced back to Hillary, the harder it will be for her to make a successful run.
we're in mixed company ... so? (quoting Cheney) ...
Greetings, PG, x, CIP, 2b, Karen, Ron et al ... PS, Karen I liked your post with those McCain quotes - scary stuff indeed.
Monster chiller horror stuff :-)

Great debaters was absolutely one of the best recent movies out.
that is the greatest clip of all time of any medium.....hilarious.
Thanks. I will check into them.
NOLA was real and i had just read an article about a year before that described the worst case scenerio. I knew this was gonna suck almost a week before it hit, I had no idea Bush and company would laugh it off and go fishing.
xoites defends Constitution @ 83:
I have a blockbuster plan for mail order movies. and some I buy, first run, because it's cheapest. GD I own, along with 4LG. Spike planned the extension as a followup a year later, since you have 4DVDs, you probably have that version. I am going to buy that one after I determine that there are no more additions.

Hey P2B. What? No drive by pun?
