And so it came to pass---------------

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Patreaus

 

As a practicing Democrat, I felt it necessary to watch on tv the Senate hearings in which Gen. Patraeus and Amb. Crocker testified as to their opinions on the Iraq disaster.

 

As a practicing Democrat, I need to say that I don't feel the Democrats are trying hard enough to extricate us from this most disastrous foreign policy mistake in our country's history.

 

As a practicing Democrat, I was sad to see that the most telling points were made by Republican Senator Warner. I suppose because he is retiring at the end of his term, he was able to do this. He forced Gen. Patraeus to admit that there was no al Queada in Iraq before the invasion. He also made the General admit that he didn't know if the Iraq war was making our country safer. That being the case, what the hell are we doing there?

 

Finally, as a practicing Democrat I propose that both parties change their names. For the Republicans, the obvious change will be to "War Party". Sad to say, for the Democrats the name may have to be the "Duh Party".

 

For sure, the above opinion won't be heard on FOX News. FOX stands for Foolish Old Xenophobes.*

Petraeus Report

While listening to the report given by Petraeus and Crocker, one must remind one's self who they work for.

Laura Bush

Laura Bush goes in the hospital today to have her pain in the neck corrected. What happens to George then?

More on Larry Craig

Parody on an old Judy Garland song:

I was born in a trunk

In the Princess theatre in POCAFELLOW, Idaho

Senator Larry Craig

Senator Craig will probably have to resign soon, because his colleagues have very little tolerance for homosexuality.

I think that before he takes the drastic step of giving up his Senate seat, he should put himself in the hands of one of the far right Republican preachers that claim they can cure his "disease".

I would hope that his "friends" on the Republican side of the aisle would give Larry every opportunity to take the cure and remain an important part of the hypocrite machine.

 

Later: Now Craig says he may not resign. He claims that he is not gay, but his behaviour is more than a bit queer.

Alberto GONEzales

A letter to Senator Barbara Boxer

Regarding the resignation of Alberto Gonzales, "good riddance to bad rubbish".
A name being bandied about as his replacement is Michael Chertoff. This is absolutely unaccepable, and I expect you as a United States Senator, and your fellow Senators to make certain that this doesn't happen. Surely there must be an honorable and competent potential nominee out there somewhere.
Please Senator Boxer, save us from this gang of thugs. Our country can't stand much more of their business as usual.

added next day

Regarding the departure of Alberto Gonzales, what will change? Gonzo was nothing more than the "bus boy". The "kitchen" still has the same "bad cooks" with their pots of boiling trouble on the stove and the burners set on high.
