Hey Kids! It's time to play "GUESS TODAY'S TALKING POINT!"
[Read the article: Bush on his North Korea plan: Clinton's "didn't work"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Have you been watching cable news since this morning, kiddies? Can you guess the Karl Rove/White House Talking Point of the Day, distributed to all the dumbass newsreaders on MSNBC, CNN, and of course, FOX 'news'?
If you guessed "North Korean Nuke Test is Clinton's Fault" give yourself a big red star!
Yes children, even though Bill Clinton has been gone from office since inaugeration day, 2001, the BIG QUESTION that is on the minds (or at least the teleprompters) of every daytime news show ninny is:
"How did Clinton cause all of Bush's failures of the past five years?"
Stay tuned, kiddies, for tomorrow's Karl Rove/White House Talking Point of the Day:
"What did Bill Clinton know about Mark Foley and WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?"
Damn that Bill Clinton anyway! Boy we really, really hate Bill Clinton, don't we folks?

In case you care: Seventy Months. That's how long Bush has been in power.
[Read the article: Bush on his North Korea plan: Clinton's "didn't work"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]That's roughly two thousand one hundred days.
Seventy months. Seventy months to do the business he was elected/selected whatever, to do for this country.
Seventy months to try anything his imagination could come up with on North Korea with the help of his own "expert" advisors. And what did he do?
He blamed Clinton.
In the words of a great Republican, "Take it out and measure it," joe. You're short on everything save one thing: excuses.

Our forces are on the move all right, into a kill box in Baghdad
[Read the article: Progress in Iraq? Military says violence in Baghdad at "all-time high"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Bush is now completely divorced from reality, as evidenced by his incoherent and contradictory rant yesterday.
Our arrogant-asshole-of-a-president might just be a harmless buffoon in another time, in another age. But to have this pathetically inadequate and self-delusional man making split-second decisions concerning our very existence is forcing Americans to play a game of international Russian roulette on nearly a daily basis.
By surrounding himself with sycophants and cheerleaders who do everything except wipe his butt for him (and possibly that as well) Bush is incapable of leading our country anywhere except down in an ever-tightening death spiral.
Not one fact can be presented to him that he doesn't immediately dismiss as treachery from defeatists. Sincere calls for change from even within his own political party are met with cynicism and bluster. John Warner's timid suggestion that if things are still going badly in Iraq three months from now, then maybe "we" ought to be "thinking about" doing something else, was met with Bush's trademark shoulder shrug and inference that "they" don't get it, and that only he knows what's best. Then he repeats the idiotic cut-and-run mantra even though the only people still using that phrase as a weapon are some idiots on talk radio and of course, Fox 'news.'
The recent tally of Iraqi deaths presented by some pretty reliable and grounded sources including Johns Hopkins and the British Lancet, two institutions not known for making things up, were dismissed out of hand by Bush, as if he personally read any of the reports. Even if the number is not six hundred thousand, it is certainly much higher than the moronic 50,000 number that he once pulled out of his ass when asked about Iraqi casualties.
None of Bush's rhetorical tricks are working anymore. Things are getting too bad. The facts presented to him are too credible and too many to dismiss with his half-witted shrugs and bromides. His latest gambit, that our military is "on the move" in Iraq and Afghanistan are as ludicrous as when our old shibboleth Herr Hitler began moving imaginary infantry and tank divisions around on the war table to the shock and horror of his capable generals who suddenly realized they were dealing with a madman.
Our troops are "on the move" all right. They moved out of al Anbar and into the city of Baghdad not because they had quelled the insurgency out there, but because they were increasingly outnumbered and out-gunned because of Von Rumsfeld's blundering strategy of "just-enough-force-to-lose." Now lagered down in Baghdad, the rising forces of opposition to our presence in Iraq are able to pick off our troops like shooting fish in a barrel. Our nimble military has been denied it's greatest asset: Mobility. Von Rumsfeld's incompetence once again taking our military strength and turning it into a weakness for all the world to see.
Stupidity and absurdity reigns in the Bush administration and yet hardly anyone in the national press yet has found the courage to just confront this bastard directly.
Let's end this national nightmare and get the Bush administration "on the move" out the door.
Time is running out.
