Should Have Known

When an annoying caller complained this morning that Bush did what Clinton did, I should have realized the caller took his points straight from the retarded Wall Street Journal Opinion page.

Here's a pretty solid refutation of that.

Also, as I have said so many times before: when the Republicans start saying, "The Clintons did it..." you know they're in serious trouble, and have no leg to stand on. They love comparing their people to the people they hated the most when they're in trouble. So I was wrong about Bush having no standards. When he has done everything wrong, Clinton becomes his.

Shoot

Too many comments about me removing comments.

Go nuts.

A Nice Recount

I had a Conservative PrickFuck call the show this morning, complaining about unfair coverage. I told him "BeLOW Me" then you'll get your answers. So, here's your answers. A "fair and balanced" view.

Surprised?

I'm not sure if other people are thinking the same thing I am, but something occurred to me last night which only goes to show just how manipulative certain peoples are.

We learned over the last couple of weeks that the White House, Bushies, and Attorney General specifically used a provision of the Patriot Act in an attempt to replace US Attornies. In other words, these people all knew about the change in the law that could help them achieve their goals of replacing those they didn't like with their own cronies, such as Karl Rove's hack. What bothers me most about this is the people in the Administration knew to use the law; knew what the law was. Yet Congress didn't know the law, or wasn't aware of it. Why you ask? Beacuse CONGRESS DIDN'T READ THE PATRIOT ACT! Remember? The greatest expansion of US power ever, and Congress didn't read it. That's right.

More important than all of this is that the Patriot Act was tossed over to Congress like 10 fucking minutes after the World Trade Center fell. They already had this shit penned, or at the very least, they had the ideas ready to go. Then they later used the law to attempt this little U.S. Attorney garbage. So they were well aware of what was in the act, and how to manipulate it when they needed to. All the while, Congress not having a clue.

Yeah, so there's no cabal in the White House. Not at all.

Ummm...

I'm not really sure what else needs to be said:
A former White House official accused of improperly editing reports on global warming defended his editing changes Monday, saying they reflected views in a 2001 report by the National Academy of Sciences. House Democrats said the 181 changes made in three climate reports reflected a consistent attempt to emphasize the uncertainties surrounding the science of climate change and undercut the broad conclusions that man-made emissions are warming the earth.

Philip Cooney, former chief of staff at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, acknowledged at a House hearing that some of the changes he made were "to align these communications with the administration's stated policy" on climate change.

The extent of Cooney's editing of government climate reports first surfaced in 2005. Shortly thereafter, Cooney, a former oil industry lobbyist, left the White House to work at Exxon Mobil Corp.
