Uh-huh...
[Read the article: "Official A" gets a standing "O"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]And Bush is going to carry California! Iraq is going to be a beacon of democracy! And the country is more conservative than ever. Why that's why all of those people voted for Democrats on Tuesday, because they really support Republicans. Come on, clap louder! Things will turn out the way you want if you just act like they already have.
So I'll try it too. How's this? See you in stockade, Karl. You, Cheney, Scooter, DeLay, and yeah, Bush too, are all going to get up close and personal tours of those CIA black sites you're so proud of.

Oh we'll win!
[Read the article: Can't win in Iraq? Somebody told us that we already had]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]We'll win in Iraq just like we did in Vietnam! And anyone who says otherwise is a no-good egg-sucking liar! We did win in Vietnam, right?
Seriously, though, I love Howard Dean! How can you not love somebody who makes the rabid right go ever more completely nuts by telling the truth? It would be nice if more Democrats would take the Chairman's lead, and be honest with the American public. As Jack Murtha says, the public is way ahead of Washington on this.
We already know the Iraq war can't be won, not just because Bush and his cronies are incompetent, but because, get this, they don't want to win. They want this war to go on and on and on. It's their biggest earner both politically and financially, and you don't cut off your biggest earner.

The Trouble with Joe
[Read the article: Jolting Joe]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So he tells me to shut up and face the fact that the man who started a war under false pretenses will be in office for three more years. Funny, when the guy in the White House got a blow job, Joe was all for impeachment hearings. I think one is far more important than the other, but not Joe.
Joe wants us to shut up about it already, drink the Kool-Aid, and join the Bush team. I guess he hasn't noticed the stew of corruption, incompetence and malice they're all soaking in. You see it's because of Bush and his criminal cronies that I belong to the opposition party. Technically, Joe belongs to that party too.
And yet Joe thinks the president is doing a heckuva job. He supported Bush's tax cuts, the vile bankruptcy bill, the Patriot Act, and this stupid, mindless, deadly war. Instead of asking why Democrats might want to challenge Joementum, the real question is why does Joe want to be a Democrat since our party's values, platform and members seem to piss him off so much?

To tell the truth
[Read the article: Is Brownie still doing a "heck of a job"?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Wait... Brownie needs the President to tell him not to tell the truth otherwise he will? Is that how tesitfying before Congress works these days? Isn't the idea that you tell the truth no matter what, even say if the President says otherwise?
Can we assume then that Alberto Gonzales was instructed to tell the truth, or wait I mean not to tell the truth? Man this whole thing gets so complicated. What kind of testimony is it if it's not the truth and the President told you not to tell the truth? Oh yeah, perjury, conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Now, where have I heard those charges before? Peas in a pod these Bushie types aren't they?

Terrorist Attacks Since When Again?
[Read the article: The attack on Los Angeles, again]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"We cannot let the fact that America hasn't been attacked in four and a half years since September the 11th lull us into the illusion that the threats to our nation have disappeared. They have not." -GWB
Right, because only a few weeks after Sept. 11 someone could have mailed, oh, I don't know, ANTHRAX to a couple of Democratic Senators, CBS and NBC killing several postal employees among other people while shutting down Congress. I mean that would have been awful. Good thing we had those wiretaps and foiled that plot too.
Oh damn, he got me again. Man, that Mister Bush he does love to lie doesn't he? After all it's not like anyone remembers the anthrax mailer. If they did (and I'm talking to you media and what the heck, you too Bush voters) they might realize that not only does Bushco fail to stop terrorists, they don't catch them either.

Here's an Idea, Jim...
[Read the article: Washington Post on Domenech: "We did plenty of background checks"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If you honestly think you did a heckuva job vetting Domenech, Mr. Brady, you need to resign, too.
You read everything this guy has written in the last few years? You read how he called Corretta Scott King a communist, and you still hired him? You read how his insight included the idea of killing black babies to bring the crime rate down, and you thought he'd make a valuable addition to your website? If that's your idea of sound judgement, you belong in the Bush Administration not working as a news editor.
Oh, and it took how long for literally dozens of instances of Domenech's plagiarism to be unearthed by liberal (read reality-based) bloggers? Oh that's right, a day.
Maybe in your new job, Jim, you can be a secret shopper with Claude Allen, you both seem to have about the same grip on today's reality, or is the real person responsible for hiring Box Turtle Ben your evil twin?
