The Monday ‘BushWhack’ing

If I had a hammer...

• First Bill O’Reilly… now I’m agreeing with Michelle Malkin? WTF? Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin lambasted "the mother of all bailouts" and declared "the death of fiscal conservatism." Malkin scolded her readers who were blaming the crisis on the Democrats who took control of Congress in the November 2006 elections. […] "This is your Bush legacy---not Pelosi's, not Reid's, not Obama's," Malkin wrote, naming the leaders of the House and Senate and the Democratic presidential nominee. "Fiscal conservatism has been on life support for quite some time. Bush/Paulson pulled the plug permanently today.” (I’m agreeing with Malkin… I think I need a shower…)
• While banks and other companies called on the Bush(Whacked) Administration to expand its $700 billion financial bailout to go beyond mortgages, the administration and Congress are debating whether to add provisions to protect taxpayers… quick guess of who wants to protect business and NOT the American taxpayer…
• If you have one house and one car you’re an elitist. If you have 10 houses and 13 cars; you’re a ‘maverick’ and an ‘everyman’… (Does the Kool-Aid sting when you drink it?)
• Even though we mentioned it a few weeks ago, the traditional media just got word apparently and is now reporting on the fact that Wasilla, Alaska charged women for rape examinations while Gov. Palin was Mayor… (Naturally her supporters are saying she didn’t know – but that seems HIGHLY unlikely. She was the Mayor… of course she knew, and if she didn’t, that doesn’t say much for her either. With each passing day, another layer of lies and ugliness is revealed on Palin… how long until the calls to replace her on the ticket start?)
• The fallout from the Blackberry claim continues… and the man who said it claims it was a joke. Speaking on CNN Douglas Holtz-Eakin said; “Many lessons here-number one, no sense of humor on the campaign trail. I swear off telling any jokes.” (give me a break… his tone and non-verbal say otherwise. It wasn’t a joke, it was a claim… and anyone who believes it was intended as a joke needs to get their head examined. Perhaps you could get a group rate…)
• A federal judge has ruled that Vice President Dick Cheney must preserve all of his records from his time in office… pwned!
• And have we mentioned? That jury selection began today for the trial of republican Sen. Ted “Tubes” Stevens of Alaska? Stevens is charged with filing false Senate ethics reports and could face five years in prison per count… and he’s still running for re-election… there’s something wrong with a man being on trial but still campaigning, but I can’t quire put my finger on it…
