The Tuesday ‘BushWhack’ing

• Realizing that there’s this amazing invention called ‘video’ that shows what was actually encountered, Sen. Clinton says she “misspoke” about her trip to Bosnia. Right… and Cheney misspoke when he gave a big F-U to the nation last week…
• Consumer confidence plunged in March to a new five-year low… but we’re still not in a recession…
• After already offending the American people last week, US soldiers this week, VP Dick Cheney is arriving in Turkey today… this should end well.
• The Bush(whacked) Administration is saying that it plans to model its long-term agreement with Iraq on one that we have with Afghanistan. Reached in 2005, it states that the US will “[c]onsult with respect to taking appropriate measures in the event that Afghanistan perceives that its territorial integrity, independence, or security is threatened or at risk.” (Considering how well Afghanistan worked out – yes I’m being sarcastic – we’re going to be stuck in this Iraq quagmire for a VERY long time…)
• After James Carville called Bill Richardson “Judas” for endorsing Sen. Obama (hmmm, might comments and actions like that from the Clinton camp be part of the reason he endorsed Obama rather than Clinton who, let’s face facts, has taken desperation and manipulation to heights that make Karl Rove blush…), a Sen. Obama staffer has brought up Monica Lewinsky’s blue dress while another has made comparisons of Pres. Clinton and Joe McCarthy… which the Clinton camp immediately started whining about. So it’s okay for the Clintons and their minions to sling mud, but when it’s slung at them, they whine like a kindergartener who jus their crayons taken away…
• The New New York Governor (days after admitting extramarital affairs) has now admitted he tried cocaine and pot in his youth…
• On the day that marked 4,000 US deaths in Iraq, “President” Bush said that the deaths “laid foundations for peace” in the country…
• And have we mentioned? That Rush Limbaugh continues to blow hot air? While I know it’s not a surprise, Limbaugh is attacking Sen. Obama’s race again, insisting on his show last Friday that Obama “disowned his white half” by standing by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright and said; “This is the stuff, this is the part that might bother some of you. It is clear that Senator Obama has disowned his white half. He’s decided he’s got to go all in on the black side.” (Anyone with a working brain – who is allowed to use it on their own – can see that his standing by a pastor does no such thing. Having said that, we’re not talking about people with brains, we’re talking about Limbaugh fans…)
