"We will succeed in Iraq," President Bush said last night at a fundraising gala for the Republican Party.

The Republican National Committee succeeded in raising $10.5 million at the presidential gala, a $1,500-per-person evening at a "heavy appetizer buffet'' with a shimmering neon lava-lamp décor in the airplane hangar-like hall of the DC Armory.

"I believe we're the party of the doer, the dreamer, the people that work,'' the president told Republican donors assembled here. "I believe we're the party of low taxes. And I know we're the party of strong national defense to protect the United States of America.''

...

"It's important that we succeed in Iraq and send a clear message to the people'' who threaten this nation's security, the president said. "I don't want it to be said 50 years from now, what happened to America in 2007, how come they forgot the lessons of September the 11th, how come they couldn't see the impending dangers facing a generation of Americans? I want you to know I see the impending dangers. I understand the consequences of this historic moment. And we will succeed in Iraq.''

4. No wonder they can't come up with a coherent foreign policy--lava lamps and the Liquid Pleasure Band

What, do they all still live in their parents' basements?

a shimmering neon lava-lamp décor...

With the warm-up music of a PA system pumping old Tom Jones favorites and a Pink Pantheresque lineup leading to the real evening's entertainment, the Liquid Pleasure Band...

I'll bet they were into the liquid pleasure.

8. "Got your nose,Amurica!" How simple it is to fool the trusting.

It has been so easy for the Corporate hand to grab and hold the attention of the fearful while they rape, plunder, and dismantle the foundation of responsibility it takes to support a strong and honest democracy.

We have not stopped them yet, but more of us have pulled back the curtain. Now, local elections are installing their foot soldiers. Please vote in this election and talk to your friends to inform and open their eyes.

9. clear message to the people

And that message is... no really it's been 4+ years there why the f are we fighting this war? I got no clue.

10. He's right. Look who he was addressing; all of his criminal war profiteer buddies.

The whole occupation has been a resounding success for them.

11. Bush, don't worry about 50 years from now. You'll be dead.

And before then, you'll be back to not worrying about anything of any importance at all. Sort of like now, but you won't have to fake it.

12. 28 percent approval rating, and this clown is still able to raise 10.5 million in one evening

I'm barely able to cover my fucking bills this month.
