Bush Administration Card Resignation and Shakeups - New Faces, same Hubris and Failed Policies
Bush and Cheney must feel that Putting new Lipstick on their Pig of an Administration will make us more inclined to Kiss it
by Steven Leser

I'll give this one bone to George Bush, he is right about one thing and that is that change is needed. But what America needs isn't a superficial change like shuffling the chairs of the bit players, we need the resignation or impeachment of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, for starters. We need a change in the congress, throwing out the bums who passed legislation like the Patriot Act that shredded our Constitutional Freedoms. We need to be out of Iraq, we need a stop to warrentless spying and wiretaps, and we need to treat prisoners of war according to the Geneva conventions even if we could make arguments about their status. America isn't about arguing down to the lowest common denominator, it is about assuming the best and being the best, particularly about things like Human Rights.

I hope the American people see this for the insult that it is. Bush and his cronies are obviously hoping that this superficial change will improve his poll ratings. They must really think the American people are stupid. We don't need a new chief of staff, we don't need a new marketing group to sell us the current poor excuse for policies a new way. Crimes, and yes, there is no other way to describe them, CRIMES that this administration has committed will not go away because of new lackeys being hired. The American People are not going to kiss this dirty, smelly pig no matter what color Lipstick this administration puts on it. We need good policies, good leaders and good government and those ideas and the Bush administration are mutually exclusive.

2. Isn't this DISLOYAL? Can Bush/Rove be trusted anymore??
All that he has done to keep the boy in the bubble and eating the shit fed to him by the Neocons and this is what he gets? Maybe the brown shirts around Herr President will question who their loyalty should be given to first? Gotta believe doubt on their part is a good thing.

3. They're in a circle, eyeing each other as they do in a Spaghetti Western.

The Sad the Bad and the Ugly. In any case, a red rose for each of them.
