May these TRUE words about Shrub be the start of a neverending TORRENT

[UTUSN]

Unfortunately, TRUTHS about Shrub were out there from the very beginning AND WERE IGNORED!1 It was KNOWN that a drunken, profanity spewing Shrub insulted Al HUNT and Judy WOODRUFF in front of their children in a restaurant. Molly IVINS documented the unspeakable sleaziness of Shrub. "Fortunate Son" documented it. And all this was BACK WHEN. Yet our crack media thought he was cute and made it verboten to criticize him and his record. Heck, our crack media didn't even LOOK at what was his very PUBLIC record.

JOIN THE CLUB

DON'T expect people to lay off George W. Bush just because he's no longer president. In his upcoming HarperCollins book, "Get Rich Cheating," Jeff Kreisler salutes dubious moneymakers such as Ken Lay, Dennis Kozlowski and Conrad Black, and lumps the ex-commander in with the pack. Dubya, he writes, "ran unsuccessful baseball and oil companies, made questionable stock trades, schemed his way into the presidency, ran it like a fraudulent corporation, hid his reasons, played dumb, refused to take responsibility and enriched those around him."

THE PROBLEM WITH A DISCLAIMER is its coming off as defensive, especially when it's preemptive. Trouble is, it's damned if do/don't: NOT including it first results in the predictable problems.

DISCLAIMER re: linking to the NY Post (for to head-off highly predictable, OT/hijacking posts):: Yes, it is a RAG. Yes, it is owned by NewsCorp/Faux's MURDOCH. No, he doesn't Dictaphone content to his gossip columnists. No, "gossip" does NOT equate to "UNtruth." These old time gossipers are more journalists and reliable than Tweety and such ilk. Frequently, political tidbits are here first, later to show up in more "respectable" venues. Keep friends close, enemies closer. Cherrypicking intel results in self-fulfilling FALSENESS. I got hooked on these gossipers when they were on E!1 and, when they were cancelled, tracked them down and they happened to be at the RAG (NY Post). ALL I read at the RAG are the gossip and the horoscope.

1. Didn't he call someone a "major-league asshole" and that was caught by a microphone?

Adam something, a NYT reporter I think.

3. Yes. AWOL Bush did it with VP Dickie 'Five Military Deferments' Cheney

Republicon chickenhawks thru and thru...no respect, no honor. Lying to our honorable sons and daughters in uniform. In my view, AWOL FRAT Boy and Dickie Deferments remain UNFORGIVEN for what they have done to the honor and safety of our troops -- and their shameful Republicon mistreatment of our American Veterans.

4. That was at the beginning of Theft 2000, soon after naming CHEENEE as his mate

It was CHEENEE's near-first appearance as running mate, where CHEENEE replied with his "Bit time" crack. But this was years later after his supposed sobriety. His drunken thing against Al HUNT was years before that.

And let us not forget one of his first utterances after usurping the pResidency, when he said to a Black man in Philadelphia, "Who cares what you think!1"


And while we're there, let's add Jeb Crow Shrub's comment to a Black woman who asked him as candidate for governor what his agenda had to offer her, and he said, "Nothing."

6. Don't forget: Cheney named himself as running mate.

He was 'head of the VP search committee' or WTF ever. And chose himself.

Typical corrupt Republican. :puke:

2. CPAC has disowned him this week

I find that hysterically funny.

5. I've seen that.

They're trying to link Obama to Junior, like they're the same. Not like Junior was a Republican or anything.

7. A little more information for you.....

Rupert Murdoch also owns HarperCollins, who is publishing that book.

I know this, because I'm a HarperCollins author, and it always surprised me that there were absolutely no political limits placed on what was written or what was published. Murdoch's people want to make a buck, and if it means stepping on the face of the GOPigs, they are happy to do it.

Looks like an interesting read. I get free books from HC. I better email my editor there and get me a copy.

Thanks for the heads-up.

8. Just remember "Men In Black" and where they got their intel.

That was a true movie.
