2. They lied about EVERYTHING. Start with lawfully and legally elected in 2000.

Then move to 9/11 and the Unpatriotic Act. They set the stage for all the other lies to come. Lied to? More like raped, plundered, pillaged and then lied to.

Fools rush in to describe cheney*/bush* as the most inept administration ever. Nothing could be further from the truth. They got EVERYTHING they wanted and accomplished damn near EVERYTHING they set out to do. The "dubya is inept" canard is in itself a lie and subterfuge and the grand alibi. "These bumbling clowns were so stupid they could have never pulled of 9/11." Really? Looks like they did to me.

"Hey Dick, I got one for ya... 15 Saudis with boxcutters walk into an airport..."

The above message brought to you by the Project for the New American Century. Bringing a new "Pearl Harbor-type event" to a country near you.

3. As I listen to all these shrill voices proclaiming all these foul deeds by a democratic
president, all these accusations and insinuations, somehow I don't seem to recall even one of these shrill voices voicing concern or disapproval over a single issue when junior was running amok and roughshod. ;)

4. Of course not. The words "collaborator" and "accomplice" come to mind.
