The Thursday/Friday ‘BushWhack’ing

Combined to save you time… and because I was unavailable yesterday.

• The Federal Reserve cut a key interest rate by half a percentage point this morning in an attempt to ease a credit crunch and calm global stock markets… stay tuned.
• Notes released Thursday from FBI Director Robert Mueller contrasts with testimony last month from AG Albatross Gonzales… (Which shows once again that Gonzo was lying through his teeth… but there he remains in Washington. The absurdity of this is getting ridiculous…)
• gop presidential candidates Mitt “Like my Hair” Romney and Rudy “9/11” Giuliani are sniping at each other just like Dem candidates Obama and Clinton… (which leaves me to ask; do we really have 10 more months of this???)
• Is it me or are republican representatives dropping like flies? Hastert (IL)… Pryce (OH)… and now Pickering (MS)… can the Dems pick up all of those seats? I think we could easily snare two of three, so stay tuned.
• Remember how Rudy Giuliani claims that he was at Ground Zero “as often, if not more” than 9/11 rescue workers? Big shock, he was exaggertaing as mayoral archive records reveals that, from Sept. 17 to Dec. 16, 2001, “he was there for a total of 29 hours.” In that same period many rescue and recovery workers put in daily 12-hour shifts… (I said when he entered the race that Rudy can only ride this 9/11 wagon for so long, and already the wheels are falling off. The more he brings it up, the more intense the scrutiny of his post-9/11 record will be… lo-and-behold; I was right)
• And have we mentioned? That PETA is outraged that Karl “President” Rove plans to go dove hunting his first free weekend after resigning? That’s all fine and good, it’s their beliefs, but of all the things that the man has done, to be upset about dove hunting is rather silly… but then again, it’s PETA.
