Bush:
"A country that hides something is a country that is afraid of getting caught."
Really?
Bush Administration most secretive ever
Jesus Christ. If a BJ can get you impeached, how about violating the constitution?
From Bob Woodward, via CBS, via atrios:
"President Bush, after a National Security Council meeting, takes Don Rumsfeld aside, collars him physically and takes him into a little cubbyhole room and closes the door and says, 'What have you got in terms of plans for Iraq?' What is the status of the war plan? I want you to get on it. I want you to keep it secret," says Woodward.
"...The end of July 2002, they need $700 million, a large amount of money for all these tasks. And the president approves it. But Congress doesn't know and it is done. They get the money from a supplemental appropriation for the Afghan War, which Congress has approved. ...Some people are gonna look at a document called the Constitution which says that no money will be drawn from the treasury unless appropriated by Congress. Congress was totally in the dark on this."
I swear this president is an absolute nightmare in every respect.
I don't normally do this, but this man needs your help. Without doantions he can no longer review movies. And trust me, we NEED these reviews.
For instance, thinking of letting your teenage daughter go see the Disney kid movie Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen? Think again.
This filth contains the following:
dressing to maximize the female and male forms and/or skin exposure
repeatedly and frequent camera angle to force viewer on to private parts
female staring at male posterior below navel skin
repeatedly excessive cleavage, teen
repeatedly inappropriate touch
five uses of God's name in vain without the four letter expletive by a teen
And worst of all:
two 15 year olds alone in downtown NYC
Disgusting.
Look into his eyes and tell me you wouldnt trust him with our children?
Go Uconn.
Number 4 is my favorite.
Update.
They took down the site. But google has a cache.
And upon further reflection, the hot little redhead in picture 2 has now ratcheted to number 1 on my list.
Oh its true. Eddie likes the red heads.
Jesus what a train wreck. My prediction is the talking baseball will have more insight that Tim "I would suck off all the Yankees if they let me" McCarver. Quick drinking game. Every time that jackoff says "in my view", take a shot. Whenever the words "curse" are spoken, openly question Tim McCarver's sexual proclivities regarding his mother. Whenever they show the idiot, and now cripple, Aaron Boones Lucky home run, take a speedball of herion and cocaine, a la the fixer upper guy from Murphy Brown.
And I'm hoping the line "You're thoughts, Scooter?" appears at some point to just hammer home to those idiots that Fox is making them work with a cartoon.
I hear game 2 will have color commentary from the Littlest Groom.
Oh the jokes just write themselves....
No one needs reminding of that except Fox and commissioner Bud Selig, who signed off on Fox's plans to unveil four video gimmicks during tonight's broadcast, including "ball tracer," which will fasten a comet trail on pitches. There's also a silhouetted strike zone that crumbles with the sound of breaking glass.
And in case Joe Buck and Tim McCarver need an assist in the booth during Fox's first regular season prime-time baseball telecast since Mark McGwire's 62nd home run in 1998, say hello to "Scooter."
"Scooter is a talking baseball," Hill said on a conference call. "He's a little animated baseball and he's going to explain the various pitches that are in various pitchers' weaponry."

Tom Delay today:
Another Democrat questioning President Bush's leadership during the ongoing war in Iraq is former President Jimmy Carter.
Mr. Carter goes so far as to say that "President Bush's war was ill-advised and unnecessary and based on erroneous statements, and has turned out to be a tragedy."
"I'm just glad President Carter wasn't in charge after Valley Forge, Bull Run or Pearl Harbor," reacts House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas, a Republican. "Unfortunately, this is becoming a dangerous pattern. Democrat(sic) leaders continue to undermine our troops and our coalition's ability to win the war and bring peace and stability to the Middle East."
Tom Delay attacking Clinton for joining with NATO in bombing Serbia, while the war was still on and troops in harms way, in 1999:
He called the showdown "Clinton's undeclared war" and "Clinton's bombing campaign." He described it as something "the president has put us into" and warned his audience, "We should think very, very seriously whether we are going to take ownership of the bombing"—as though the president weren't the nation's commander in chief. He urged Congress to de-fund the war and "pull out the forces we now have in the region."
Once a U.S.-led coalition "starts meddling in the internal affairs of sovereign nations, where does it stop?" he asked. He charged that we were "starting to resemble a power-hungry imperialist army" and portrayed our mission as an "occupation by foreigners."
The straight shooter whose ushering in a new era of personal responsibility:
Q Mr. President, why are you and the Vice President insisting on appearing together before the 9/11 Commission? And, Mr. President, who will you be handing the Iraqi government over to on June 30th?
THE PRESIDENT: We will find that out soon. That's what Mr. Brahimi is doing; he's figuring out the nature of the entity we'll be handing sovereignty over. And, secondly, because the 9/11 Commission wants to ask us questions, that's why we're meeting. And I look forward to meeting with them and answering their questions.
Q I was asking why you're appearing together, rather than separately, which was their request.
THE PRESIDENT: Because it's a good chance for both of us to answer questions that the 9/11 Commission is looking forward to asking us, and I'm looking forward to answering them.
Let's see --
Q Mr. President --
THE PRESIDENT: Hold on for a minute. Oh, Jim.
Q Thank you, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: I've got some "must calls," I'm sorry.
UPDATE
It just gets more laughable. WHo was the "must call" questioner that he absolutly HAD TO get to instead of continuing to avoid answering the question regarding why he felt the need to be babysat by Cheney?
Bill Sammon of the Washington Times. Author of such classic books as At Any Cost : How Al Gore Tried to Steal the Election, Misunderestimated : How Bush Is Beating Terrorism, Democrats, and the Press , and his newest called Fighting Back: The War on Terrorism-From Inside the Bush White House
Heres some of the official blurb from "Fighting Back"
The Democrats underestimated him. The media ridiculed him. But when terror struck on September 11, 2001, George Bush proved what kind of man he truly is. And, as Bill Sammon recounts in his new book, that was just the beginning.
It describes history in the making, and the emergence of a great leader.
I saw what kind of man he truly is last night. one who refuses to answer questions honestly, and when people actually expect him to do so, runs away like a scared bitch and hopes his friends bail him out.
Story of his life.
