1. Everyone knew where the expendible shrub was on 9/11.
Cheney was at "undisclosed locations."

2. Each excels in an area of slimey politics

Bush moves front and center when Revenge is sought against individuals he believes are crossing him, his father, or his brothers. Unidentified White House aides are reported to be telling press that he is personally coordinating the character-assassination offensive on Clarke.

3. read John Dean's book
that says it all......
"But what clearly distinguishes this presidency is its vice president, a secretive man by nature whose unmatched power is largely veiled but whose secret governmental operations have changed the world--and not for the better. Dick Cheney, effectively a co-president incognito, works behind closed doors and does not answer to Congress or the public. His partner, the president, is not sufficiently knowledgeable about their policies to answer questions about them adequately, if and when he does occasionally make himself available...."
"Never before have we had a pair of rulers---it is difficult to call them leaders--like Bush and Cheney, men whose obsession with control of information, and spin, is so strong that they are willing to subvert the democratic process for their own short-term personal political gain. Not since Nixon left the White House have we had such greed over presidential power and never before have we had such political paranoia."

...we need regime change.....now

8. It's hilarious that even Bush's supporters admit he's smart enough
Edited on Mon Mar-29-04 02:12 PM by Cat Atomic
to do the job. They admit that he's not even in charge. They've done so from day one.

"He may not be very knowledgeable on things", they explain, "but he surrounds himself with very competent advisors". That's just another way of saying, "I know he's too stupid to be president, but he's not in charge anyway so it doesn't matter".

These are eery days in America, I must say.

9. No one, they're all bozo's
It's not that they're all together, it's that none of them is together. If they were half as smart and evil as people make them out to be they'd be unbeatable. Luckily, they're not that smart.

10. why is it that
important issues like this are brought up and then blown away fast while some other unimportant crap is around the board for days.. Anyway you people are forgetting Karl Rove and that little guy Paul Wolfowitz..

11. chose rove as the best of the choices available
although the real masters of the cabal are the current head of the christian reconstruction movement, the heads of the ten biggest corporations, and of course pappy bush himself.
