about Sen.Corker (R-TN)and the Big 3 Bailout story
(thanks for posting that article mymessageboardid :hi: )

Corker was quoted:

<snip>
And he has been briskly dismissive of the White House role in negotiating a solution to the automakers’ woes.

“The White House is actually at a point where they’re looking for the next flight out of town on Jan. 20,” he said Thursday.

:wtf: does that last part mean?

Have recently been wondering how fast BushCo was going to hustle out of DC, thinking possibly out of the country.

There's always Paraguay...

1. Corker's from TN..and I think it means..

he's off his friggin' rocker!

[Whoa_Nelly]

4. Mucho Grasses!

Silly me!

And I don't think he's off his rocker.

He's just has waaaaaaaaay too much hubris.

The way he puts it makes him sound like a used car salesman trying to sell back cars to the Big 3 lubricating it with snake oil along the way.

2. He means that the "White House" (Bush family) are anxious to leave ASAP.

[SoCalDem]

3. Their "work" is done...

They have emptied out the treasury, put their pals in place to carry on (or at least thwart the new people's progress), broken the military, and pretty much screwed everthing they could think of.. Time to "move on"..:puke:

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Now SoCalDem, be fair!

It was hard work 'cause they were all a-workin' so hard! :sarcasm:

at least in Paraguay there will be plenty of brush to clear, but would rather see them all picking up garbage and roadkill from the roads with no retirement plans beyond that.

13. Don't think it will be Paraguay.

Didn't the Bushes buy that land when Paraguay had no extradition treaty with the U.S.? Seem to recall reading that is no longer the case...

[Whoa_Nelly]

17. Do tell!

hmmmmmm
Am curious as to what you read...

your reply got me searching.

Bush Paraguay Land Grab Incites Unease

Asuncion, Oct 18 (Prensa Latina) The land grab project of US President George W. Bush in Chaco, Paraguay, has generated considerable discomfort both politically and environmentally.

The news circulating the continent about plans to buy 98,840 acres of land in Chaco, Paraguay, near the Triple Frontier (Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay) is the talk of the town in these countries.

Although official sources have not confirmed the information that is already public, the land is reportedly located in Paso de Patria, near Bolivian gas reserves and the Guarani indigenous water region, within the Triple Border.

Alto Paraguay Gov. Erasmo Rodriguez Acosta revealed he heard that part of the land purchase consists of an ecological reserve (Fundacion Patria), with which Bush is affiliated.

In its interview with Rodriguez Acosta, neike.com.py reported that he does not have documentation of this affiliation and it could not communicate either with the foundation or with the National Rural Development and Land Institute, in charge of these state lands.

Concern increased last week with the arrival of Bush" daughter, Jenna, and a source from the Physical Planning Department saying that most of the Chaco region belongs to private companies.

Luis D"Elia, Argentina´s undersecretary for Land for Social Habitat, says the matter raises regional concern because it threatens local natural resources.

He termed it “surprising” that the Bush family is trying to settle a few short miles from the US Mariscal Estigarribia Military Base.

Argentinean Adolfo Perez Esquivel warned that the real war will be fought not for oil, but for water, and recalled that Acuifero Guaraní is one of the largest underground water reserves in South America, running beneath Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay (larger than Texas and California together).

“The southern US states are already struggling with water shortages," asserted the 1980 Nobel Peace Prizewinner.

Orlando Castillo, Paraguay Peace and Justice Service member, recalled the US military buildup in Chaco under a bilateral agreement.

FALL for everyone....He gets the Blame....the Hemongous Econ FUCKUP will be Named after HIM....The Largest Econ disaster to hit the modern world will have the Bush Name

Thats his Legacy....mega fuckup...MF BUSH.

12. Heh

You know, you may be right..... bush himself is so dumb he may be not much more than a foul-mouthed, assholish, jerk off who is nothing more than a puppet on a string being directed by the string masters, cheney et al.

And now he's gonna be remembered best for the way the country damn near went down the tubes on his watch. And of course he didn't know what was happening.. hell, he even joked about the war in Iraq when he went looking for the WMD under the table. What an idiot.

14. The Real Crooks vanish with the Loot laughing all the way to the Swiss Banks

and Bush....thinks he can re make History to fix his Image? How DeLusional is That?

Nope, he gets the Bad Rap, all others skip town with big bucks....

[BeFree]

15. One day...

....he's gonna wake up and realize just how he was used and abused.
History will not be kind to him.

[opihimoimoi]

16. He will spend his last days with the Lamp...looking for his Credibility and Respect

much like Diogenes looking for an Honest Man

10. At about 12:15 pm Eastern time January 20, the airlift begins.

It'll be the opposite of their entry eight years ago in chaps and cowboy boots.

They've robbed the stagecoach and the mail train, now it's time to high-tail it for the hideout and divvy up all the loot.
