The Tuesday ‘BushWhack’ing

• “The war will be over soon” according to Sen. McCain... let me know when our troops start coming home, then we’ll talk…
• A new CNN/Opinion Research poll shows that Sens. Obama and Clinton are neck and neck in Texas, which according to Clinton is her last chance moderately important an important step in the process just another primary...
• Sen. Obama garnered another endorsement today with former Democratic candidate Sen. Christopher Dodd saying that Obama is “ready to be President.” (Clinton’s endorsement list – like her campaign – has stalled in recent weeks. While I personally don’t put a lot of stock into endorsements, some people do, and the silence on her campaign is rather deafening. Stay tuned…)
• Ralph Nader is lashing out at Democrats who are criticizing his campaign. As I’ve said in last week’s Rewind, it’s time for him to get off the stage…
• Even though he was indicted last week on charges that he promised to support legislation in exchange for a land deal that netted him more than $700,000, Rick Renzi (r-AZ) is vowing to NOT resign. Like all others who say they won’t resign, give him time and I’m sure the gop will… shall we say, convince him a few weeks down the road…
• “President” Bush is fearmongering again as he tries to pressure the House to pass his intelligence bill. (Sigh… do I need to remind people that Bush is a lameduck and should not have the power to pressure anyone about anything, so I hope to God that the House grasps that and DOESN’T allow themselves to be pressured)
• Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas hasn’t asked a question in 2 years and 142 cases… the last time he asked a question was February 22, 2006. Thomas’ reasoning for not asking questions is, like him, shallow, saying “One thing I've demonstrated often in 16 years is you can do this job without asking a single question.” (Well Mr. Thomas, I think you mean you can ‘hold this job without asking a single question’... because I certainly don’t think you’re doing this job...)
• And have we mentioned? That “President” Bush still doesn’t get it… but then again, you all knew that. Showing that the sky in his world is tinted in a rose-colored hue, Bush predicted yesterday that voters will replace him with a republican president who will “keep up the fight” in Iraq, saying; “I believe the American people understand that success in Iraq is necessary for the long-term security of the American people.” (Uh-huh… explain how Mr. Bush. Explain how success in Iraq is necessary for the security of us… tell us how… and remember – Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11… had nothing to do with al Qaeda… and had no WMD’s… so explain to all of us HOW success in Iraq is necessary. I’ll be waiting…)
