The Thursday ‘BushWhack’ing

It's Thursday; meh...

  • The Kentucky media is not letting Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (r-KY) off easy over his office’s involvement in smearing a 12-year old. The Courier-Journal writes in their editorial “McConnell versus truth” that “It’s clear what Mitch McConnell knew and when he knew it. It’s clear he deceived the public.” (Ouch… word of advice to Mr. McConnell; fess up, or the scrutiny will only get worse for you… and better for everyone who supports SCHIP)
  • 8 in 10 Americans favor Congress’s legislation to expand SCHIP, with “large majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.” Compare that to 22% public approval “President” Bush’s handling of health care, and you have a clear picture of just what the American people want… but why should that enter into Bush’s mind. He’s shown time and again that he will do whatever the hell he wants, the wants of the American people be damned…
  • Lynn Cheney wants a leader in the “Dick Cheney mold”… there has to be a joke in there somewhere, I just can’t think of one right now… anyone?
  • According to gop sources, who I can only imagine walk around in herds, former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (r-IL) will resign his seat later this year rather than complete his term…and the dominoes continue to fall…
  • Sam Brownback (r-KS) is abandoning his republican presidential campaign… that sound you just heard was thousands of people asking; “Who?”
  • And have we mentioned? That outed CIA operative Valerie Plame is releasing her book, “Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House” next week? The book, which is the first time that she has publicly detailed the scandal, offers up some harsh words for “President” Bush. Should be a good read… certainly better than any claptrap released by Ann “Any nickname I give her would be too cruel and I would go to hell for writing it” Coulter…

I think the devil told him it's time to ante up on that soul he sold him when he became one of Bush's mouthpieces. Iguess that date was before the end of his term. Good riddance.

It’s a sad day in America when we can waste trillions in a failed foreign war but won’t provide health care for our children. This is a national disgrace, Shame on the Republicans. Hard working American families are struggling and are falling behind. 40+ million Americans have been priced out of the health care system. But the Republicans say that they don’t want to pay for health care for our children. The Republican position on this is fundamentally greedy, selfish, immoral and Anti-American. Make them pay for this at the polls!
