I posted earlier this week about Cincinnati billionaire Carl Lindner and his deep pockets for the GOP. As you recall, Lindner was the CEO of Chiquita during the time they were supporting terrorist organizations in South America. In that post I directed the readers to Newsmeat to check out Carl’s past donations. I also noted that […]
The Senate Judiciary Committee has voted to authorize more subpoenas in the U.S.A. purge. Five of the subpoenas are targeting Justice Department officials. In the wake of this growing scandal, we also find out from Murray Waas that Bush worked to shut down another investigation that may have targeted Gonzales: Shortly before Attorney General Alberto […]
Thanks to Nichole we have this flashback where Bush had the prosecutor in Guam removed. The prosecutor had a grand jury and was investigating none other than Jack Abramoff: A US grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal […]
Think back to the surge debate last month. The Republicans took to the floor of the House and stood tight with talking points in hand.

That is Bush’s latest approval rating according to a new New York Times/CBS poll. Most damage is also coming from within his own party now: In the months since the Congressional elections, President Bush has lost substantial support among members of his own party, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.

A heads up. Keith will be giving a special comment on Countdown tonight: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged the Democratic-controlled Congress not to interfere in the conduct of the Iraq war and suggested President Bush would defy troop withdrawal legislation. “I can’t imagine a circumstance in which it’s a good thing that their flexibility […]
And by terrorist #1 I mean Joe Lieberman. He is trying to hijack the Democrat’s majority by threatening to switch sides if the Democrats try to restrict funds to the war. Well the Democratic leadership in the Senate is going a step further. They are now working on legislation to re-examine the 2002 authorization to […]
This is absolutely appalling. People go to fight in Bush’s bullshit war, then loose limbs and this is how he treats them: Perks and stardom do not come to every amputee. Sgt. David Thomas, a gunner with the Tennessee National Guard, spent his first three months at Walter Reed with no decent clothes; medics in […]
This is a clip from FOX’s new show, “The Half Hour News Hour”, their “competition” to The Daily Show: Oh this is going to be a massive bomb. The first reviews are out and they are very un-raving. First from the TV Gal Blog on the Seattle PI– A few television series simply aren’t worth […]
