Politics: April 2006 Archives

"We need more human intelligence. That means we need more protection for the methods we use to gather intelligence and more protection for our sources, particularly our human sources, people that are risking their lives for their country.

- George H.W. Bush, the Dedication Ceremony for the George Bush Center for Intelligence, 26 April 1999

"Poppy" must be mighty proud of his boy.

Boy George is apparently responsible for authorizing the leak that outed a CIA agent. Which would, in his father's eyes, if not the GOP-owned Congress and Supreme Court, make him a traitor. And why risk treason? To merely discredit an administration opponent.

Meanwhile, Bush is also planning on using the only toy he hasn't played with...namely "nookular" weapons. Where would he unleash the apocalyse? Why, Iran, of course.

Speaking of military matters, Seymour Hersh speaks of discontent in the ranks, while outsiders report a large losses in the officers' ranks as many have decided they do not approve of administration policies nor are endeared to the concept of ever-lasting war.

As for Bush's plan to cram democracy down the throats of everyone in the Middle East? Not exactly going to plan.

One down. Tom DeLay has finally realized he can no longer disguise the fact that he's a world-class scumbag and has decided not to run for re-election this fall.

In Florida, it still hasn't occurred to Katherine Harris what a loathsome piece of excrement she is, but the departure of much of her campaign staff may be a sizeable clue.

Bush may still be in firing mode. Mouthpiece-in-chief Scott McClellan and Treasury Eliminator John "Deficits are Good" Snow are apparently on their way out.

None of this probably changes a thing. Republicans will always vote for a racist, warmongering bully as long as they pretend to be religious and promise to take away civil rights from non-whites. But at least it is entertaining.
