bushco didn't simply ignore popularity polls to do what they believed was right...
they ignored every reasonable voice of opposition to do what they wanted...and everything they wanted was based on power and greed.
lack credibility when talking peace, unification.
The my way or the highway attitude has taken away the respect we once had.
Certainly, then, I missed the part where Pelosi and Reid and Conyers were leaving as well. It is far from over since the accomplices and enablers of the bush horror show are continuing in the legislature. We have a genuinely two-faced president-elect who has blatantly about-faced on several crucial issues, the latest being Iran (from Greenwald):

We, I suspect, are stepping into a whole new towering edifice of Orwellian doublespeak and dismissal of pubic demand such as with Obama hinting at finding ways to include 'tainted' evidence gleaned from torture. The writing cannot be any more on the wall, and the last to clue in will be the collective disciples. At the risk of employing a comic-book vehicle, Obama's evil, mirror twin: "Amabo" who is the policy 180º of the lyrical Obama, will make more of a sustained presence as the term progresses.
This is as good as it's going to get for ShrubCo. For now, they are still in to catapult their own propaganda and the media is still willing to soft pedal the incompetence and criminality. But the Shrubnauts are only heros in their own eyes and those of sycophants like Gerson and Krauthammer and Barnes.
They ruined everything they even came close to. And when I think of Condoleeza Rice, all I picture is a pair of black boots. That is my total impression of her 8 years. Her presence meant nothing. She influenced nothing. She facilitated disaster.
Good riddance Condoleeza Rice. Have fun on Faux News and the conservative speech circuit polishing your halo. That will be the only audience accepting of your spin.
I'm sure Condi has vastly improved her shoe collection, though. And I hope she, like Gonzales, won't be able to find another position with anyone any time soon.
Even jail isn't good enough for these liars, cheaters and murderers.
It certainly says something about the participants in that part of the blogging world.

DR. RICE: Steve, I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon; that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile. All of this reporting about hijacking was about traditional hijacking. You take a plane -- people were worried they might blow one up, but they were mostly worried that they might try to take a plane and use it for release of the blind Sheikh or some of their own people.

In 30 years we may be able to realize the extent to which this administration has damaged the nation and the world. I believe the extent of the destruction we see now is only the tip of the iceberg.
In 30 years people can judge this period of time.What will they focus on? Foreign relations, needless war? Economic failures, failing those in need when natural disasters struck? Maybe the intrusion of the government into citizen's private lives? It will be interesting to see how time will judge all of this, but I am doubtful it will be with a favorable light.
But they don't make Republicans like that anymore. I'm not sure they made very many like that in the first place.

That depends on who writes the histories...
Those same lickspittles will line up to pucker at the taint of Dubya if (IF) in 20 or 30 or 100 years the Middle East stablizes and we see serious declines in terrorist activities that come from that region. The same people who say it's ALL SAINT RONNIE because he was there LAST, will say it's ALL GENERAL DUBYA, because he was there FIRST.
Denial is the oly word to describe it. The same sort of defense mechanisms that'll make a child think daddy got lost on the way to the store to get milk eleven years ago and that's why he never came home. The same idiotic mentality that makes a grown man think that girl he wants to take on a second date must've accidentally lost his phone number. Grownups should not behave this way, and yet they do, often. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO BE TRUE SO IT IS TRUE LALALALALALA NOT LISTENING! I wouldn't care so much were it not for the fact they're so often in positions of power and influential over so many others. That's when I want a big bucket of bird flu to throw at 'em.
