"Monkey see, monkey do."

The Chimp in chief has an ardent admirer in Robert Mugabe.

Why don't we just swap Zimbabwe's government for ours, and have done with it?

No difference, except that they're obviously on the take and make, where ours hides their bones.

Just goes to show that stupidity is international.

My hero is back!

Long live Bill!

ACCK! PHHHFT!

But of course, you're giving 50% of Americans more credit than they're deserving of.

Bill is smarter than they are.

To be such smug assholes?

To know that the president of the United States is so smug that he smirks at us every time he gets on TV?

To know that Rove, Gonzales and Cheney laugh at us because we're stupid enough to roll over and play dead for them?

Pretty bad, man. Pretty awful bad.

Leave it be. It's a cartoon for god's sake. Let us smug assholes be smug. The people it was in reference to will never see it, wouldn't understand it in a million years.

Except you, of course, Anonymous. Brave enough to face all of us with a pen name that can't be traced...

While it does seem suspicious that Rove is quitting, I'd say that the heat was getting to him, and the inquiry about the attorneys scandal is really the reason he is quitting.

I didn't think he was married, never saw a picture of his wife or son-in 7 years. Anyone have one?

As for future political action, I'd say he's done-the Republicans have been tremendously damaged by his shenanigans, and he's not the "golden boy" of the party anymore; he's done more harm to their cause than they would have liked.

I seriously doubt that he will be invited to "help" them in any way once he's retired. More like "don't call us, we'll call you". Besides, the Congressional inquiry should take up more of his time-he might have to talk to lawyers in order to stay out of prison.

I do wonder how Bush will think without half of his brain missing.

Jose Padilla lost the case the minute he was arrested.

When the government prosecutes someone, they never lose-they will manufacture evidence, taint witnesses, alter documents and other sundry things to guarantee a conviction.

The whole case is now history-he will lose his appeal, and languish in prison for the rest of his life. I can guarantee he will probably get 30-45 years hard time, and never catch a break from the courts.

Call me a cynic, but I do know this: the government never loses a major prosecution. Ever. They won't allow the courts to see any evidence of innocence because that's "secret" and not allowed to be viewed by non-cleared personnel.

Even Padilla himself doesn't know half of the "facts" of the case as given by the government. He never had a chance.

A steamroller just did him in.

I'm not saying that everyone prosecuted by the Feds (as opposed to the locals) is innocent as a lamb.

What's wrong with the picture is the fact that they held him for how many years without charges, then got told to charge him or let him go, and then charged him with the vaguest notion of "conspiracy to commit" charges that you can come up with.

Something is very wrong when you can't prosecute someone on solid evidence and what you do have is manufactured for the occasion.

They did that in this case after they had kept him in solitary confinement without access to the court system for at least 4 years. That's what an American citizen rates in our beloved "Justice for All" system.

I question the entire system. I have reason to, and I will stand behind the statements I made.

Ya know, Garrison, you can't trust nobody nowadays..watch out for the boogie man under your bed. He's watching your every move.

As for me, I'm gonna wrap my house in tin foil to stop them bad guys from finding out that I have a mind.

Seriously, though, a lot of our laws are to prevent premeditating a crime-and it doesn't stop many people, even now. Remember, the guys in 9/11 weren't exactly playing by the rules, either; nor were they citizens.

What Cheney doesn't realize that not everyone is a Republican, or a law abiding Christian. Some of us are "heathen revolutionaries intent on destroying the country". So get rid of that damned Constitution and that solves the problem of us "independent thinkers."

Throw us all in prison, and then they'll have to come up with new ways to pay for new prisons!

Ah, to hell with them. We'll outlast the jackboots-it will take time, but it will end eventually.

I just hope I'm alive when it happens.

Ah, we won't get to see Bat Boy anymore? Oh, lord, stop the presses!

The rag was quite amusing-even more so than it's competitors, because at least it showed some imagination at creative fiction.

I don't know who read it, but I bet they were part of the Bush cadre; sounds about like their mindset. I still can't believe that anyone actually believed half of it..but I'm sure there were some.

Back to the trashy celeb shit.
