Holy smokes! The wheels are coming off now!!!!!!

[johnnyrocket]

Foggo raided by the FBI, Rove indictment on it's way, Goss pushed out with Hayden looking bad...illegal NSA trolling....

...you know, I hated this SOB Bush the millisecond I laid eyes on him...but I would have never predicted the incredible incompetence and criminality would be so extensive.


Unless I'm really missing something here...looking at this objectively, I just don't see how this guy survives politically...I'm serious! Bush is going to have to go very soon, there is no way he can function ( even criminally ) in this environment.

It's over...it may get a bit more ugly, but it's over.

1. I know what you're talking about- it's unreal.

At first I thought they were very clever liars. A few years ago I realized they weren't clever at all. Now I realize they aren't even liars, per se, but sociopaths for which lying doesn't even really register like it would in a normal person.

Chilling.

6. Very well said.

[ShortnFiery]

2. Specter best put Gonzo under oath this time! n/t

[napi21]

3. Oh I suspect he'll stay in the WH until Jan 2009, but he will be

miserable, and unable to do a damn thing! Kiss that legacy goodby Shrub boy!

[johnnyrocket]

5. You want to witness a slow motion, 3 year, train wreck!?!

That's going to be painful to watch, and incredibly embarrassing for my country.

[madrchsod]

9. we have been watching this train wreck

since 2000 and it`s been painful and embarrassing and it just keeps getting worse doesn`t it? i don`t know about you but i hope i live long enough to see this shit get straighten out so i know my kids and grand kid have a chance to live till the end of this century

[PurityOfEssence]

21. Hell yes; I'll start getting the popcorn ready

This guy deserves a prolonged comeuppance and embarrassment. This country needs to have its collective nose rubbed in it for letting it happen. These are the times that show what people are made of, and that's important for all to see.

For the country to be embarrassed and for others to be emboldened to challenge our strutting, cocksure domineering is a GOOD thing, and we need to buck up and face reality.

Don't impeach the vindictive little nothing, take the house and put him under oath about the deceitful pre-war intelligence, Enron, the Energy Task Force, Funeralgate, election tampering, torture, outing of an undercover officer, graft and monarchic tax thievery.

We need this. We need a prolonged embarrassment and a period where we show the world that we have a conscience and are able to face our problems and correct them.

This is precisely what we need.

[calimary]

31. No it's not. It's NOT gonna be painful to watch, and it WON'T be

incredibly embarrassing for our country.

About that last part, the ONLY thing that's incredibly embarrassing for our country is the length of time many of us (DUers and other progressives not counted here) in this nation have been asleep, or seemingly powerless, or unable to rid ourselves of this blight on two legs. The embarrassing part about this is how long we've ALLOWED him to run amok, and so completely unrestrained. The embarrassment is in the way some people continue to cling to him even in the face of ALL the evidence of what a world-class shit he is. The embarrassment is how the rest of the WORLD can see the truth and keeps shaking its collective heads in complete dismay as to why so many of us seem okay with it. THAT'S the embarrassment. The embarrassment is in how we've done NOTHING effective to stop it because there has, up til now, been so much set up to protect and insulate him and keep him from being held accountable.

And it's NOT gonna be painful to watch as he's slowly but surely taken down. Peg by peg. Notch by notch. (Slowly I turn...) It's gonna be a resurrection. A GREAT national redemption and rebirth into the Light - OUT of the darkness of this tyranny. It'll be painful, but all birth is. But birth, even with pain, is still a joyful thing.

I say let the games begin. It's LONG overdue. Let's go through the labor pains and push this - AND him, especially - OUT.

Fear not, my friend. This one's gonna hurt SO good! Just write it off as growing pains. It may hurt a little, but it's much better in the end.

[stepnw1f]

4. Yup... (nt)

[SnoopDog]

7. No, this nightmare is only over when the people demand it over...

They will fight to the end....

[BrklynLiberal]

8. Absolutely. They willl have to drag Dimson out of the White House by the

ankles, kicking and screaming. He will be clinging to the door jamb as they are trying to carry him out.

Kind of like this, only it will be Il Dunce holding onto the door:

[SnoopDog]

10. Way cool picture...but back to reality, they do not follow rules and ...

laws. Therefore we as citizens must revert back to our inherent authority as defined by our Constitution to end this evil murderous regime....

:patriot:

[Acryliccalico]

12. Agree entirely with you ......... n/t

[longship]

11. He said today (or was it yesterday)...

"Stay the course."

Not only have the wheels come off the cart, but the cart is still headed for the cliff. God only knows where it will land. The fact that ChimpCo seems totally oblivious to this is damned scary. :scared: :scared: :scared:

[Jade Fox]

13. We are faced with the bizarre senario.....

of having a completely dysfunctional Executive Branch of government, with no one being willing to take it out and shoot it. What's amazing is that Bushco has made having a completely dysfunctional Executive Branch look like a GOOD thing.

I agree that Bush will go one way or another, before his term is up. What I can't believe is the incredible stupidity of the GOP for not taking him out. The longer he stays, the more damage he does to the party and the whole Neocon fantasy of taking over this country. Which is a good thing.

[Dunvegan]

16. An ALL-POWERFUL dysfunctional yet still robbing unitary Executive.

[Jade Fox]

19. Good point......

Bushco is not functioning as an executive branch, but they are still assisting the rich in looting the country.

Gee, that puts a whole new light on why the GOP doesn't take W out: As far as their wealthy puppet-masters are concerned, things are going just fine. :(

[cliss]

14. It's going to get worse

before it gets better. It's unbelievable, isn't it?

Did you ever think you would live through something like this? I mean, to watch this kind of stuff, in your own country, your own government.

If it was Pakistan or Borneo, that would be one thing. But here?

[aquart]

15. Think back to that first year in office.

Think back to the 2000 election. How could you not see this coming?

[radfringe]

17. Everybody SING...

THE WHEELS ON THE BUS
ARE FALLING OFF
FALLING OFF
FALLING OFF

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

18. I'll be forty-five years old this year...

I hope I live to be ninety. That way I can spend the next forty-five years wagging a finger at my conservative family and friends, saying, "I fucking TOLD YOU this was going to happen."

It doesn't repair the damage done, but I'll feel better.

[Miss Chybil]

20. If it gets any worse, you may be wagging that finger in a sweat shop,

or Gitmo!

[Arugula Latte]

22. Even Brian Williams/David Gergen alluded to

"interesting times." It seems like we're entering a type of era unprecedented in U.S. history. The next few months will determine if we sink or swim as a country.

(on edit -- Yes, the pre-Civil War era was crucial, as well, but this era is crucial in a different way ...)

[Delphinus]

23. I've been off line until just now

where I read Jason Leopold says Rove knows he's going to be indicted and is ready to resign when it hits the press. I searched and couldn't find a thread here - has this been discussed somewhere??

[BrklynLiberal]

24. Here is one thread on it. There were several.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2280876&mesg_id=2280876

Here's another

[Delphinus]

27. Thank you!

I figured there simply had to be literally hundreds of threads celebrating the news!!!

[leftofthedial]

25. we've been saying some form of this or "drip drip drip"

for five years here

:shrug:

[Lars39]

26. Add this to it:

NYT: Cheney Pushed U.S. to Widen Eavesdropping

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=2282031&mesg_id=2282031

[BrklynLiberal]

28. Hah! If there is evil happening look for Cheney to be close by.

[MrBenchley]

29. And remember, the bold move that was supposed to save Chimpy

was having Tony Snow as his new press flack...except that Tony fucked up his first press conference royally.

Meanwhile, hard to see how his immigration speech is going to help in anyway. To placate his base, he has to call for rounding up Mexicans and deporting them, which will alienate everyone else....but everyone else already thinks he's full of crap on every issue.

What I find hilarious is that when he was flying high, the GOP kept promoting this tongue-thick imbecile as "the next Churchill"...and now as they sink they have nothing to offer the country except empty rhetoric delivered by a lifelong drunk who has trouble reading a teleprompter.

30. is it fascism yet?

it ain't over
