The Wednesday ‘BushWhack’ing

Wednesday, we’re halfway done...

• I think it’s safe to say that, unless you’ve been living under a rock, that everyone knows that the gop ‘brand’ is damaged (heh heh heh)… and now, with under a year until a presidential election that has no clear-cut republican favorite, the gop are desperately trying to save themselves. Problem is, the brand itself is threatened due to the likes of conservatives like Rudy Giuliani who may not always see the conservative side of things. Having said all that, stay tuned – the next year should be one helluva ride…
• The House of Representatives has voted to override a Bush veto… no, not for SCHIP, but for a water bill that authorized $23 billion in various water projects that would, among many other things, restore the Everglades and Great Lakes fisheries, help rebuild post-Katrina Gulf Coast and a slew of other things… like REBUILDING THE NEW ORLEANS LEVEES!! The fact that Bush vetoed this thing shows just how out of touch with the will of the American people he is…
• “Analysis” from CNN shows that we shouldn’t put too much stock into polls a year before the election… (wow, crack analysis there guys… I never would have known that… he types as he rolls his eyes…)
• After the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-8 to send it to the Senate floor, Bush’s Attorney General nominee is that much closer to being confirmed...
• The gop had a hard time of it in yesterday’s elections; losing the Kentucky governor’s seat and losing the Virginia state house (for the first time in 12 years). Yes, the gop did win the governor’s race in Mississippi, but overall; it was NOT a good day for them (heh heh heh)
• And have we mentioned? That on the day the U.S. military announced the deaths of six soldiers, Dumbass Supreme Joe LIEberman (I r-CT) said that the tide in Iraq was turning? It’s true, the most pathetic excuse for an Independent EVER said; “I’m proud to say that the tide has turned in Iraq and we’re winning that war…” And have we mentioned that, with the six deaths, the number of deaths this year rose to 851 and makes 2007 the deadliest year of the war for American troops… with two months left… but he says the “tide has turned.” What a fucking tool…
