The Wednesday ‘BushWhack’ing

Hump Day...

• Sen. Larry Craig says it’s a vast conspiracy brought by the Idaho Statesman newspaper that made him get arrested in a bathroom at the Minnesota airport and made him plead guilty… (yeah, it looks as ridiculous as it sounds…)
• Proving that they don’t really care about their own, Senate republican “leaders”, rather than circling the wagons for Craig, are calling for an inquiry into him. With friends like those, who needs enemas?
• The White House said yesterday that “President” Bush is willing to fight for the right Attorney General candidate, one that agrees with his policies and will not consult the Democrats on the nominee… (Essentially he’s saying he’s going to pick whoever the hell he wants, as long as they are a Bush crony and does and thinks the same way Bush does. I guess that means that it’s entirely possible that we might see our first Chimpanzee as Attorney General…)
• On the 2-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s landfall, the Washington Post has decided to do a profile of Michael Brown. Something about that is unsettling, I just can’t put my finger on it.
• Proving once again that he not only doesn’t care what Congress thinks but doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the people of this country, “President” Bush is planning on asking Congress next month for an additional $50 billion in Iraq war funding… so rather than drawdown troops like a majority of the American people want and a small group of Congress wants, he’s going to, once again, do whatever the hell he pleases. The man is a tool, and January 20, 2009 cannot, repeat CANNOT, come soon enough…
• Soccer moms Security moms Military Moms are the new hotness in political demographics…
• And have we mentioned? That Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) made his first public appearance yesterday since undergoing emergency brain surgery last December and proudly announced; “I am back.” Johnson expects to return to work on Sept. 5. Welcome back Senator, welcome back…
