The Monday ‘BushWhack’ing

Another week begins…

• Charlie Rangel (D-NY) is saying what many of us are thinking. Despite the, in his words, “pervasive corruption,” within the White House he wouldn’t want President Bush impeached. Said Rangel; “God forbid! I would vote against impeachment of Bush too because the corruption of the Vice President Cheney would even be worse.” (True… very, very true… and bone-tingling)
• Apparently Alberto Gonzales’ has always had trouble with the truth… (I know… you’re shocked…)
• Just in case you needed more proof that this administration politicizes everything… a 2006 surgeon general's report called on Americans to help tackle global health problems was kept out of the public’s eye by a Bush political appointee, who had absolutely NO background or expertise in medicine or public health, because the report didn’t promote the administration's policies…(I don’t think anything else needs to be said…)
• The FCC is set to rule on the rules for the auctioning of $15 billion of public airwaves, a decision that will drastically alter the nation's cell-phone industry… stay tuned and pay attention…
• And have we mentioned? That republicans are refusing to come to the aid of AG Gonzales… even on conservative-backed Fox “News”? On Sunday, Fox host Chris Wallace revealed that no conservatives would come on the air to defend Gonzales after his second disasterous appearance on Captiol Hill. Hmmmm, he seems to have lost the support of his own party… maybe, just maybe, he should consider stepping down… just a thought.
