The Monday ‘BushWhack’ing

It’s Monday; yay.

  • A new book about former President Gerald Ford shows that he feared that Vice President Cheney was a “liability” to Bush, that President Clinton was a “sex-addict” and the best pure politician he had ever seen, and that he preferred Rudy Giuliani as Bush's running mate... (Fascinating stuff, isn't it?)
  • 75% of Americans think Congress is doing a piss-poor job. My only surprise is that the number is that LOW…
  • The presidential race is heating up… actually it’s not, but I wanted to see if you’re paying attention…
  • Oil prices broke through $93 a barrel for the first time today at hit $93.20. Let the panic begin!
  • And have we mentioned? That the person responsible for FEMA employees portraying journalists during a presser last week has resigned? Yep, FEMA Director of External Affairs John Philbin has resigned amid the controversy. Not surprisingly, the department is denying that his resignation was involved in any way with the revelation that employees of FEMA acted as reporters and tossed softball questions during a press conference last week describing FEMA’s response to the Southern California wildfires…and if you believe that, then I have a nice bridge to sell you in Chicago…
