The Executive Branch's Flagrant Abuse of Executive Privilege

Never before in the history of the United States of America has there been such a flagrant abuse of the concept of "Executive Privilege" to cover up wrongdoing and downright criminality, disregard for the rule of law and the Constitution of the United States of America. The criminal Bush and his criminal cohorts have woven their unlawful web of deceit, lies and vile machinations in order to subvert the Rule of Due Process of the Law and tried to bamboozle and flummox the people of America into believing their out-and-out lies and flawed rationale for non-compliance with requests from the Legislative Branch of Congress to answer questions, which if answered truthfully(something that will never happen from their side) would convict them of malfeasence and wrongdoing and BREAKING THE LAW without a doubt. Therefore their claim of "Executive Privilege" like a TARNHELM to invisibly vanish from the "prying eyes" of VERITAS, which would expose their HIGH CRIMES to public light and of course, the subsequent PUNISHMENT for their BREAKING THE RULE OF LAW OF THE LAND, which Bush and his cohorts are doing now even as we speak. The "New Tools" that Congress needs to fight back would be a type of summons which cannot be refused by the Executive Branch under the excuse of "Executive Privilege," which would make the very act of refusal to comply with that special summons a FEDERAL CRIME with the appropriate punishments for non-compliance. No legal argument from the White House, nor even the Supreme Court, could counter such a special Congressional summons to appear, under oath, taped testimony and NO EXCEPTIONS or deals from the White House would be accepted. It's HIGH TIME we acted and brought the runaway Executive Branch of government under control and brought the COMMON CRIMINAL Bush and his COMMON CRIMINAL cohorts to justice!

Original article: War, chaos and Bush's faith

OF SPONGES, WHALES AND MEN

A BOMBASTIC IMBECILE, A CLUELESS IGNORAMUS like CHIMPya W. Bush who dogmatically thinks(if that is what he indeed does as opposed to suck and blow out sea-water like the common sponge) in absolutes and that HE represents the forces of GOOD and everything else "agin him" represents EVIL, America has a MADMAN at the helm indeed. Bush is a slavering Captain Ahab who seeks the elusive white behemoth of EVIL CHAOS that he can plunge his harpoon of REASON into. The fact of the matter is, Sponge-Brain Square-Head Ahab-Bush is the EVIL CHAOS and we need Moby Dick to plunge his harpoon of REASON(or other dorkish appendages)into Monkey-Boy Bush and give him the quietus so that America and the rest of the world can breath easier! America must CUT OUT the CANCER called Bush/Cheney/Bushland Uber Allies from its body before it KILLS US ALL, and DEATH-SENTENCES for this CANCEROUS CABAL of Bush/Cheney/Bushland Uber Allies for their HIGH WAR AND DOMESTIC CRIMES are definitely in order here!

Original article: Dick Cheney's heart

THE LIZARD OF OZ

"We'rrreeeee Off To See the Lizard, the Wonderful Lizard of Oz...." Torticola DICKless B(rainiac) Cheney's Super-Ego, Ego and Id are busy DANCING and SINGING AWAY in his evil machinating mind, the Scarecrow of Mitt ROMNEY Marsh, the Tin Man Rudy GIULIANI and the Cowardly Lion Pasty-Faced Flip-Flopper John McPAIN. Cheney's Super-Ego ROMNEY laments, "If I only had a BRAIN!" Cheney's Ego GIULIANI laments, "If I only had a HEART!" Cheney's Id McPAIN laments, "If I only had the NERVE, COURAGE!(McPAIN already HAS A LOT OF NERVE! BUT COURAGE? HE WOULDN'T KNOW IT IF IT CAME UP AND BIT HIM IN HIS FUNDAMENT!)" Torticola Cheney shares the same concern that his Ego, Tin Man GIULANI does, namely missing a HEART instead of that Atomic-Powered, Titanium-Sprocketed Hunk of Metal that powers this LUMBERING BUCKET OF BOLTS Cheney to formulate the evil, vile machinations that this distant cousin of The Doctor's good friends, THE CYBERMEN constantly sproings into action. Lacking a HUMAN heart has not been a negative for Cheney, as a matter of fact, it makes his SOCIOPATHIC DESTRUCTIVENESS and INHUMAN COLD CALCULATING ACTS much easier to accomplish and influence CHIMPya W. Bush with them. This LIZARD of Oz Cheney needs to be DISSECTED not only to see WHAT MAKES HIM TICK but also as PUNISHMENT for his many HIGH WAR AND DOMESTIC CRIMES!

CHECK THE POLLS REPUGNANT-REPUBS

"WELL!" As the late great Jack Benny often expostulated, it would behoove the elephantine fudge-pachyderms of the G(houlish) O(pportunistic) P(edophile) herd to look at the election results before TRUMPETING their PATHETIC BESTIAL ELEPHANTINE TRUMPETS OF VICTORY, Nicht Wahr? Rudy Giuliani? "HAH!"(to quote Chris Matthews) Giuliani, the cross-dressing, adulterer and bribe-taking corrupt, criminal-hiring BLOWHARD? The doltish morons who see him as leading Hillary Clinton REALLY SHOULD HAVE THEIR HEADS EXAMINED! Rudy Giuliani the "Hero of 9/11?" Giuliani spent more time going to baseball games than he did spending time trying to see to it that the families of those who perished that day were taken care of, WHAT A BLOODY HYPOCRITE Giuliani is, as he has the UNMITIGATED GALL, THE NERVE TO CALL HALF THE VOTERS "LOSERS"? Giuliani is the LOSER, and HE WILL LOSE BIG IF HE EVER DARES TO EVEN RUN IN 2008, THAT IS A FACT!

THE QUICKEST WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH

"What's that you say, Mr. Nosferatu Chertoff? You have a feeling that you're not well and are pained? What could it be? Iran is about to attack the American troops in Iraq? North Korea has launched all its atomic warhead missiles at the continental U.S.? Russia and China have declared war on America? Castro is MOONING us?"

CHERTOFF: "No Doctor...I just got STABBED IN MY TUMMY by a DISGUNTLED Homeland Security worker!!!!! OWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!"

The MORAL of this vignette of course is, "Don't bust a GUT trying to figure it out, Chertoff, or someone might BUST IT for ya!"
