Dubya

From Left To Right: Jeffrey Wright (Colin Powell), Toby Jones (Karl Rove), Richard Dreyfuss (Dick Cheney), Josh Brolin (W.) The playlist scanned these photos off of the latest Vanity Fair magazine. Here are is the White House Cabinet from the George W. Bush pre-2003 administration,.. in the world of Director Oliver Stone, that is. Underneath these [...]

Sometimes I just scare myself. I wondered how long it would be before the Palin/Bush similarities would start to become noticed. A modest reconstruction is all it takes. It had to be done.The voting percentage swing seems to be all but modest, however.Sometimes I just scare myself.

Here's something positive the president is doing for a change - lifting the ban on offshore drilling in the US waters. WASHINGTON (AP) - Putting pressure on congressional Democrats to back more exploration for oil, President Bush on Monday lifted an executive ban on offshore drilling that has stood since his father was president. But the move, by itself, will do nothing unless Congress acts as

Jesse Bradford (anyone remember him?!) has been cast as Thatcher in Oliver Stone’s Bush bio-disaster pic W.… Thatcher was Bush’s fraternity president in college. I really don’t understand… why do people continue to sign up for this project? Is it for the controversy? Their belief in the man? Or the money? [...]

The White House has announced that President George W. Bush signed an executive order requiring that those who do business with the federal government assure that their employees are working in the country legally.

Hubby and I did our part in stimulating the economy. Yeah, we probably should have used the money to pay bills, but...meh...What fun would that be to blog about? Cause you know I live for a good blog post. So...

As I said there, that's what happened: JERUSALEM - A rocket fired from Gaza exploded in a shopping center in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon on Wednesday, wounding at least 14 people, rescue officials said. At least two women and one girl were seriously wounded and several other people were slightly hurt, said Leah Malul, an official at Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon. The Magen David Adom

In his seeking to divide Jerusalem, the US president won't even visit the holy prayer site: The advance team of President George W. Bush has requested to avoid "controversial" like Jerusalem's Western Wall and prefers Masada as the centerpiece of this visit to Israel. Bush will go from the 60th anniversary celebrations to a US-Arab summit in Sinai to which Israel has not been invited. On her

Is it fair to blame the White House for our country’s economic woes? I mean, just how much influence does the President of the United States wield over the economy? I had always thought that their influence was extremely limited in scope. Whether this belief is right or wrong, I do know [...]

Not all Texans are like the former governor of Texas who currently serves as President of the United States (324 days left, and counting). I have to explain this difference when I meet some New Yorkers and they find out where I'm from. I, for one, prefer to think that the Texas Man, if we're talking gender, is better represented by Robert Rauschenberg, Freddy Fender, Terry Allen, Luis Jimenez, Tommy Lee Jones, Willie Nelson, Bill Moyers, Buddy Holly, Kinky Friedman, Tommy Tune, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rip Torn, and Alvin Ailey than by Dubya. Call it Texas pride. I, as Texas Woman, like to think that I follow in the kick-ass traditions of Ann Richards, Barbara Jordan and Molly Ivins, women who made some horse sense of politics.Today is March 2, Texas Independence Day, the day to commemorate the

Repetition in politics can get boring (Cox is thinking particularly of "education, education, education" or "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime") but somethings that never get old are Dubya's verbal gaffes.In a televised address he gave out the wrong help line number so that home owners expecting to get through to a call centre providing adivce on higer interest rates instead found themselves getting through to Freedom Christian Academy in Texas.Adding stupidity to embarassment the President repeated the incorrect number, 1-800-995-HOPE, twice instead of 1-888-995-HOPE which left left callers hoping for a miracle (which they probably enquired about when the school answered).Those eager for more entertainment on the Dubya front can visit: http://www.dubyaspeak.com/

In the past month, Nada Prouty, an illegal alien from Lebanon who was working as a spy for the Hezbollah, was arrested and plead guilty. She'd been allowed to work in the FBI and CIA, and her employers knew she was a spy yet allowed her to continue working for them for more than 4 years. She'd even been in a sham marriage in order to get her visas secured. As the NY Post said: FBI fraudster Nada

John Bolton continues to show a lot of courage in his opposition to the Bush administration for how they're just talking to North Korea about making a superficial agreement to stop the nuclear program (Hat tip: Hot Air Headlines): Forty-two members attended the joint meeting where Bolton reiterated his longstanding position that trusting North Korea to abide by its promises is the wrong approach,

Dubya continues to be a disgrace in his second presidential term by trying to intervene in the case of Jose Medillin, who raped and murdered two teenage girls in Texas and is now facing the death sentence (Hat tip: Michelle Malkin): WASHINGTON - To put it bluntly, Texas wants President Bush to get out of the way of the state's plan to execute a Mexican for the brutal killing of two teenage girls.

But being mayor in NYC, which means being a flaming [expletive] and occasional authoritarian are not the skills we need in the presidency right now. He's a hothead and downright dangerous in the White House - both to global stability and to the Constitution. The Conventional wisdom is that any president after Bush will gain a huge boost from world opinion. The only candidate for whom that would not apply, I think, is Giuliani. His diplomatic skills are worse than Cheney's. He cannot even reach non-white New Yorkers, let along the global Muslim opinion we need to win over. -- Andrew SullivanI hope people are listening to this guy because he is dead on.Having been raised in NYC and being familiar with Rude-y, I can say freely he is a megalomaniac of a flamming azzhole who I wouldn't trust to complete my tax return let alone run the country.Rudy is bad for us. If you think it couldn't possibly be worse than Dubya then think again....it can. And that is a darkness you don't want to

Ms. Latina Renee here.While writing a post about singer Rihanna, some how I ended up browsing a page deemed as the Queen of all Media and ran into this...Dubya, The New Saddam - This Just InGeorge Bush looks great, doesn't he? He made cover for Macleans Magazine, the October 2007 issue. Its cute the way proud America lean back and adore President Bush.

1. I am driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, ‘George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan’. And I did. And then God would tell me ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq’. And I did. Sharm el-Sheikh August 2003 2. I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn’t do my job.
Statement made during campaign visit to Amish community, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Jul. 9, 2004 3. I’m also mindful that man should never try to put words in God’s mouth. I mean, we should never ascribe natural disasters or anything else to God. We are in no way, shape, or form should a human being, play God. Washington, D.C., Jan. 14, 2005 4.

US News and World Report says that, as the vote against shamnesty in the Senate has shown, Bush's influence in Congress has been greatly diminished. So, he's closer now to lame duck status than before.

Finally, president Dubya's had his whole amnesty bill rejected in the Senate. Predictably, the AP writes about it all the wrong way, but there we have it, the bill, supported by such poor politicians as Harry Reid has been buried. Now, I don't suppose they'll allow it to STAY that way for a change, and not keep trying to revive it a la Frankenstein? What they could do now is start making serious efforts to improve law enforcement by firing Michael Chertoff and appointing a new DHS chief who's respectable of public opinion and can do his/her best to round up all 12 million illegal immigrants and show them the door. That would be taking a much more positive step.Others glad to see the bill collapse include Michelle Malkin, Chaotic Ramblings, The Pink Flamingo Bar and Grill, Political Vindication, Stuck on Stupid, Pirates' Cove, Iowa Voice, Thinking Right.

It seems that Dubya intends to waste his time visiting the Islamic Center of Washington D.C, for re-dedication to some no doubt useless purpose (H/T: Michelle Malkin). This is the same mosque center he visited following 9-11 and said that Islam is "peace", and where the former head of the mosque, Muhammed al-Asi, once told Iranian television that the US government was to blame for 9-11.Any succeeding presidential candidate is going to have to prove themselves capable of not going to places like what Dubya is going to.

Under his guidance our nation has become less dependent on corporate governance and more respective of the Constitution. Wind turbines have replaced oil as the primary source of energy throughout the land, electric sidewalks substituted for autos in urban America and international trade agreements given a new definition which defer to the labor rights of the world. Along with these changes his Department of Peace has earned the respect of nations globally, restoring calm in the Middle East by emphasizing negotiated agreements over cataclysmic militarism.More important than any of these upgrades though was Ku

President Bush has been downplaying any threat Russia's Vladimir Putin could be to the rest of Europe. But really, what does he know, and should he be speaking for any concerned in Europe?In this article, he says:HEILIGENDAMM, Germany (AP) - President Bush on Wednesday discounted Vladimir Putin's threat to retarget missiles on Europe, saying "Russia's not going to attack Europe."Bush, in an interview with The Associated Press and other reporters, said no U.S. military response was required after Putin warned that Russia would take steps in response to a U.S. missile shield that would be deployed in Poland and the Czech Republic."Russia is not an enemy," Bush said, seeking not to inflame a heated exchange of rhetoric between Washington and Moscow. "There needs to be no military response because we're not at war with Russia. ... Russia is not a threat. Nor is the missile defense we're proposing a threat to Russia."I don't think that's getting anywhere, or answers anything at all.

Sen. Tom Tancredo of Colorado appeared on FOX recently, and called for Dubya to pardon some Border Patrol agents who were wrongfully convicted of shooting a drug smuggler. Here's a video on Hot Air. I can't say that Allahpundit's a Tancredo supporter, if I've read his entries correctly, but O'Reilly's the one who's certainly unsympathetic, knowing what he's really made of. Tancredo is correct that these men should not be persecuted for trying to capture a scumbag whose idea of making a living was at the expense of people's sanity. Here's an important article on the case from the Daily Bulletin (via Debbie Schlussel). These honorable agents should not spend even a day further in jail; it is the drug smuggler himself who should be thrown in the clink by now. Others on the subject include Webloggin, Independent Conservative, Right Truth, The Amboy Times, 7.62mm Justice, Traction Control, The Lion of Judah, Pirates' Cove, Seeker's Jar, You Decide 2008, IMAO, Claidheamh, The Ari

If you've got the stomach for this, the Dubya administration has been pandering to CAIR on issues involving transportation security. As if Chicago's O'Hare airport doing that wasn't bad enough. Andrew McCarthy says:On a weekend when the Bush administration achieved a new CAIR-friendly low, a prominent Democrat, following the lead of other prominent Democrats, distanced herself very publicly from the unsavory Council on American-Islamic Relations.The Transportation Security Administration is the executive agency created after 9/11 to protect American travelers. Yet, Americans viewing its website this weekend could not have felt very protected. Aghast, instead, would have been the proper response to this posting. As if snuggling up to CAIR, coercing our law-enforcement and intelligence professionals to endure CAIR's Islamic "sensitivity training," and inviting CAIR to weigh in on our nation's foreign policy were not enough, we now have a Bush-administration agency publishin

Home of the free and land of the brave. The 43-year-old driver, whose name was not released, was driving middle school children back to school after a zoo visit on June 16 when the president and Republican Rep. Dave Reichert drove slowly by in a motorcade. From the bus, the children waved; with the windows down in their car, Bush and Reichert waved back. That’s when the driver gave the president the finger, according to Reichert and Issaquah superintendent Janet Barry. “The congressman hadn’t seen it, but the president turned to him and said, ‘That one’s not a fan,’” said Reichert spokeswoman Kimberly Cadena. At this point in time I would like to repeat what Andrew Sullivan said the other day, “this is not an election anymore, this is an intervention!” Click these buttons to share this story:These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.

Once again, George W. Bush uttered the "islamic fascist" expression. This time, it was all about a Heathrow plot uncovered at the most convenient time : Bush and Blair are said to have talked about this issue a couple of days earlier but didn't warn their partners, which means either they didn't care for them, or the emergency wasn't that critical. Anyway, Bush and Blair clearly needed a terror fix to go back up in the polls and to give some support to Olmert, also going down for his military failures. The message : war on terror is difficult but it has to be lead whatever the cost ; it's a noble cause, a moral one. Significantly, Jacques Chirac just used the term "immoral" to warn the US : not reaching a ceasefire agreement would be "immoral"... a clear echo to the messianic War on Terror propaganda.This is not the first time Bush uses the "Islamic fascism" expression* ; in a typically Karlrovish move, he's counterattacking with the very words that are being relevantly** used aga

Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, the Lybian detainee who confessed in 2002 a link between al Qaeda and Iraq, did it under torture but in an Egyptian jail (back then, the C.I.A. would still outsource this nasty business).In London, the Law Lords just ruled that evidence obtained under torture (even on a foreign soil) could not be used in British courts.The US have used the "foreign soil" loophole since the Cold War and torture has been banned since 1640 in England.Talking about cold wars and smoking guns... Amerika's Real Estate Agent Condi Rice just clinched a deal with Romania where 4 US military bases will be installed. This former Soviet satellite enjoys a view on the European Gulf (the Black Sea ? an epitome of the Bush doctrine : a major oil and gas hub and an environmental nightmare), locates in Europe but not yet in the EU (perfect timing as far as the European agenda is concerned), and happens to be neither too close from the Middle East (the Gaza Tigers can draft Roger Clemens, their s

After Ripley's Believe It or Not!, Dubya's visit it or bust.A new Bush museum will open in 2007 in the house 41 & 43 inhabited for 3 months back in 1949. The owner, a Republican, intends to add a reading center for kids in the backyard. No doubt the cornerstone of 43's Prez Library... that is, unless the College Station, TX based Bush The Elder's Presidential Library decides to keep "My Pet Goat".The royal family enjoyed sunny California as well as Yankee New England : Bakersfield, CA hosts California State University and a few country clubs. Back then, Coast-to-Coast Dubya wasn't a newborn Texan yet but the Official Propaganda already unhearthed a couple of pictures of the young John Wayne lookalike dressed in a cow boy suit.They're supposed to refurbish the place the way it was in the late forties. I suggest to spray some petrol around to make it even more realistic.
