He has never once in his life been responsible for failing at everything he has touched. Oil companies, baseball teams, service during Vietnam then going AWOL, nothing has ever stuck to this rat bastard. Like all the republicans nothing shames them and their lackies continue to lie for them. Perrino must have to be de-liced every night when she goes to bed. They have no sense of pride or ethics it is all about the money and the power. Put them all in jail starting with Bush and Cheney and work your way down the pile of manure to get them all.

I remember a few years ago being behind a graduating HS sr at the grocery store who was telling the clerk that her father told her, you can either go to college or get a new car, but not both. Well, she was laughing about getting the car. So, I turn to the guy behind me and said, Well, she'll be mobile, if ignorant...and he agreed.
It's all so sad. I could almost bet that she's had a couple of kids by now and no "baby daddy" in sight...the car being long gone, of course. Am I getting more cynical or just being realistic?

Mr. Bush acknowledged that the nation had "run into some hard times," but told the grocers not to listen to "professional pessimists" who he said "tell us America has become weak and disabled -- that our economy has fallen and it can't get up." No these aren't the words our our current arrogant bastard, these are from his daddy. Herbert Walker Bushtard in 1992.
"If some guy came in and spelled George Bush differently, could you catch it?" the President asked. "Yes," he was told, and he shook his head in wonder.
Then he grabbed a quart of milk, a light bulb and a bag of candy and ran them over an electronic scanner. The look of wonder flickered across his face again as he saw the item and price registered on the cash register screen.
"This is for checking out?" asked Mr. Bush. "I just took a tour through the exhibits here," he told the grocers later. "Amazed by some of the technology."
In 16 years nothing has changed. The pols all are out of touch with the reality of working and living in America. they lack the curiosity to find out what is really happening. For George Sr. this was his Maccaa moment and for Hillary fumbling around in a gas station trying to get coffee out of a machine was hers. Why do they all Repub and Dem continue to show how stupid they are and not worry we will see. I guess the answer is simple--they can and they don't give a shit what we think. In 7 months the election will be over and they can all hide out in Washington having some wine and a nice steak wonder what the poor people are having for dinner--NOT.

OT
Today is National Prayer Day and Gov Pawlenty apparently thinks it's for Christians only:
from Minnesota Monitor:
In Minnesota, once-ecumenical Day of Prayer festivities are now by evangelicals, for evangelicals
"The National Day of Prayer" had its origins in a bill signed by President Harry S Truman in 1952 declaring an annual national day of prayer. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed into law an amendment that set aside the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer. The professed idea was to bring Americans of diverse faiths together.
Focus on the Family's Shirley Dobson, wife of James Dobson, heads the task force that organized the Day of Prayer at the Minnesota Capitol.
Religious right groups will round out the thoroughly evangelical character of the event. John Helmberger, chief executive officer of the Minnesota Family Council a group dedicated to preventing equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Minnesotans will be there, as will Scott Fischbach, executive director of Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, a anti-reproductive rights group.
A Jewish First Amendment watchdog group, Jews on First, is taking matters into their own hands and organizing Inclusive Prayer Day events around the country. From their website, "In some cities supporters of religious pluralism and the First Amendment choose to ignore the occasion, because it has been hijacked by a religious right group that excludes clergy and leaders representing Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, and even moderate evangelical Christians."
Clinton now is claiming that Obama is "out of touch" with working class Americans because he explained in no uncertain terms that a "federal gas tax relief" scheme would affect transportation infrastructure.
Clinton: Less education, more pandering...she doesn't know a thing about this working class American. We're smarter than she thinks.

Senators John McCain and Hillary Rodham Clinton have hit on a new way to pander to American voters: a temporary suspension of the federal gasoline tax between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The proposal may draw applause and votes from Americans feeling the pain of nearly $4-a-gallon gasoline. But it is an expensive and environmentally unsound policy that would do nothing to help American drivers.
We know pandering when we see it. We also know that suspending the gas tax for the summer won’t solve this country’s energy problems or even reduce the price of gas.
- Republican John McCain said Wednesday that the bridge collapse in Minnesota that killed 13 people last year would not have happened if Congress had not wasted so much money on pork-barrel spending.
Federal investigators cite undersize steel plates as the "critical factor" in the collapse of the bridge. Heavy loads of construction materials on the bridge also contributed to the disaster that injured 145 people on Aug. 1, according to preliminary findings by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Yet McCain, while campaigning in Pennsylvania, told reporters: "The bridge in Minneapolis didn't collapse because there wasn't enough money. The bridge in Minneapolis collapsed because so much money was spent on wasteful, unnecessary pork-barrel projects."
There was a guy on Hardball, I believe it was, last night who disabused people of the notion that suspending the 18 cent a gallon fed gas tax (for 3 months) wouldn't affect highways, etc. He had already crunched the numbers, which amount to around $9 billion for those 3 months and said McCrazy was "way off" in just how much the govt would lose by such a proposal. So is Clinton...
Only Obama seems to be able to deal with the facts of such an insane proposal.

Just for clarification, Bush did not land the plane on the carrier. He has never been flight checked on the turbofan plane that landed on the carrier
There will be two experienced pilots aboard the Navy plane. "We picked two mature pilots that also are very good landers," Albright said.
Fleischer called it a "very exciting voyage, a very exciting trip."
"For the sake of the landing, I'm sure he will be doing no piloting," he said.

About a month after President George W. Bush stood on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln before a banner proclaiming, "Mission Accomplished," Fox News' Neil Cavuto asserted to Senator John McCain that, "many argue the conflict isn't over" in Iraq. McCain responded, "Well, then why was there a banner that said mission accomplished on the aircraft carrier?"

It's more like "mission bungled". A phony war based on lies, deceit and chicanery became mismanaged without overall planning, strategy, tactics, logistics, enough manpower at the onset and an exit strategy against an Iraqi army tht would rather run than fight. Bush was in such a hurry to fight his "War" that the esentials of placing an army into combat were never considered even if the enemy may be a pushover. The overall planning ignored centuries of sectarian religious infighting that Saddam controlled through tyranny and absolutism in order to have a reasonable, viable economy and society. Bush and the neocons are learning what this means in terms of control, lives and treasure while the American people languish in misery over this egregiously failed venture for greed and profit.
