Go ahead, toss those useless $400 rebate checks to the depressed and
jobless
populace as some sort of bogus humanitarian gesture as you quietly
force an
increase in their property taxes to pay for your record-breaking
deficit
brought on by the tax cut no one wants. Ha. You are so cute.
There is so much more going on than you know. There is so much deeper
understanding and wider knowledge and higher winking and you can't
touch any
of it. Do you know this? You need to know this.
You and your brethren are like this sticky toxic mist. You will burn
off in
the sun of awareness and orgasm and breath. This is what makes it so
fun to
watch, so magical and visceral, such a divine circus, a rich tragicomic
pageant. Do you sense it?

Hey, Mr. Nowhere man please let me speak to you!
At first glance, isn't it great he admitted that he is responsible for what he said? When did he confess, and was it a heart rendering scene of contrition, or a political ploy for votes? Why did he wait until after three people in his administration alternately took the fall? What does it say about the "honor and dignity" of 43?
Rove picked the perfect timing to reduce the coverage of his dunce protege's treachery. On July 30th, as he prepares to head to his ranch in Texas for a month starting on Saturday, Rove told the boy that he had to act like a grownup and admit that he lied in his most important address to the US , and the world, his State of the Union speech. Anyway, there were no more patsies to serve up as the fall guy.
Bush rejected criticism that he had exaggerated the urgency of going to war with Iraq and also took responsibility for the first time for an assertion in his State of the Union address about Iraq's nuclear weapons program that turned out to be based on questionable intelligence.
"I take personal responsibility for everything I say, of course," Bush said. "I also take responsibility for making decisions on war and peace. And I analyzed a thorough body of intelligence, good, solid, sound intelligence that led me to come to the conclusion that it was necessary to remove Saddam Hussein from power."
Notice that even in that contrived spin he backs away from Hussein being an imminent threat, the perfidy that no one in the world community, except for Tony Blair, would agree to.
Remember another huge lie that 43's team spun about how Iraqis would be rejoicing our victory over Hussein and would call us liberators? On August 1, 2003 in Thuluya Iraq a father and brother were forced to execute an unwitting pawn of 43's purposeless blood lust, Sabah Kerbul, for the act of squealing to the US occupiers.
His father, Salem received a warning from village residents earlier this month. He insisted his son was not an informer, but he said his protests meant little to a village seething with anger. He recalled their threat was clear: Either he kill his son, or villagers would resort to tribal justice and kill the rest of his family in retaliation for Kerbul's role in a US military operation in the village in June, in which four people were killed.
Who doesn't realize that Bush's "16 words", which were based on crudely forged documents, were just the tip of the iceberg?
All of these other strands in the web of deceit have also been proven false:
1 high-strength aluminum tubes to use in processing uranium,
2 Bush presenting the discovery of two trailers in Iraq as proof that Iraq possessed banned weapons,
3 Powell embellishing upon an intercepted conversation about weapons inspections between Iraqi officials to make it sound more incriminating,
4 Powell relying on the disclosure of Iraq's pre-war unconventional weapons programs by defector Hussein Kamel, without noting that Kamel had also said that all those weapons had been destroyed,
5 43's citing of United Nations International Atomic Energy report alleging that Iraq was "six months away" from developing a nuclear weapon,
6 The dunce's lie about Iraq maintaining a growing fleet of unmanned aircraft that could be used, in Bush's words, "for missions targeting the United States",
7 The straight shooter saying that he invaded Iraq only after Saddam Hussein "wouldn't allow UN inspectors into the country".
This is a short list of mistruths, and as far as Rove is concerned, our proud Nowhere man, red state voters the Ma and Pa Kettles of the US, won't be overly disgusted with them. Pa Kettle may mumble something about that 43's team was protecting its "sources and methods".
How would they react to knowledge that "sources and methods" certainly could be exposed when 43 had a fit of pique. Two senior Bush administration officials blew the cover of a US intelligence officer, Joseph Wilson's wife, working covertly in a field of vit
