"Many observers believe that the 2000 presidential
election story is over and dead.
I don't. Rather, I
think these events are going to return to haunt future elections,
not to mention the Senate confirmation
hearing of the next nominee to fill any vacancy
on the Supreme Court. For example, after
reading these books, I would not be surprised to
discover that Enron's political largess
was somehow involved in the Florida vote-counting debacle."

administrations.
John, you need to read more bartcop.com
Enron PAID for Bush's Florida rape with a $100,000 donation to
pay Baker & the mobsters.
Bush returned the favor to Enron with a $250 million tax rebate
...EVEN
THOUGH ENRON PAID NO TAXES

Subject: A challenge for Bartcop
My fiancé doesn’t understand why I’m always
bitching about the GHP.
She is a Democrat, but seems to favor the pink
tutu crowd. When complaining about my ranting,
she says that I have nothing nice to say about
any Repug, which tells her that I’m too biased.
So here’s the challenge:
Can you list 5 truly good deeds done by someone
with an (R) after their name?
I think it would be a good demonstration of your
“fair and balanced” reporting.
I can say some good things about Republicans in general:
1. They don't stab their president in the back.
Unlike the idiot Democrats, they stand behind their
man, even when he's wrong.
2. They're not scared bunnies wearing pink tutus.
Our side sits around trembling, waiting for Mr.
Rove to give us orders.
3. They stand up for what they believe in.
Democrats don't have a goddamn clue what they believe
in.
And if they did, Rush would straighten them out
and they'd thank him for his help.
4. They vote as a block, which is a tremendous help to their
president.
Clinton's biggest problem was convincing the Democrats
to vote with him.
5. They have balls.
Even tho they don't allow blacks and gays and they
hate women, they SAY they do,
and they almost won the 2000 election on bravado
alone. Meanwhile, the trembling skirt
Democrats won the damn election, but they didn't
have the cajones to claim victory
How did I get in a party of pitifully scared losers?
You are no Franklin Roosevelt
The media’s
laughable comparison of Bush and FDR
Excerpt:
A new media tic -- likening George W. Bush
to FDR -- is already so widespread
that it's apt to become a conditioned reflex
of American journalism.
By the time Bush gave his State of the Union
speech, countless reporters and pundits
had proclaimed GWB and FDR to be kindred
inspirational leaders -- wildly inflating
the current president's media stature in
the process.
Ain't that the damn truth?
The paid-for whores of the right so dominate the print and broadcast
media,
people who fail to pay attention might believe that it's true.

Subject: Reno Wacks Blacked Out Bushes
Gotta love Janet Reno. She passes out at the podium.
When met with a barrage of "fitness to run"
questions as she leaves the hospital, she takes
shots at two generations of blacked-out Bushes.
"Well, George Bush Sr. fainted at a dinner," she told a reporter who asked if she is STILL going to run against Jeb.
As they continued to question her health and condition,
she quipped:
"I'm great. At least I don't bump on my cheek."
She said it wryly, like everyone knows Smirk's
fall was BS.
Encouraging..... Maybe Janet can show Democrats
how to fight like men.
(Considering Jenna, Barb the Lesser, and Noelle,
losing consciousness must be some family
sport -- like croquet.)

Down
by Law: Government Gangsterism at Work
by Ted Rall
Excerpt:
During the last few months, at least 6,000
people have vanished off the streets of the United States.
Kidnapped by government agents, they have
no idea when-or if-they will be released from prison.
The Bushies say these people overstayed
their visas, that they have links to Al Qaeda, that they
don't wash their hands after using the
toilet, that America is safer because they're behind bars.
Is any of this true?
Who knows? Since they haven't been granted
access to lawyers or allowed to call their families,
no can talk to them. Bush says they have
no rights because they're not American citizens.
...meanwhile $4 TRILLION dollars has disappeared from the Treausry.
Al, why didn't you fight for us?
You promised you'd fight, but you laid down, instead.

“A complete loss for words” Part 2
From: An Aussie reader
Subject: Arthur Anderson
Phewee is it hitting the fan for Andersen!
In Australia we were feeling a little insulated
from the Enron debacle, but now the headlines
in the paper are about Andersen and
HIH insurance. HIH's collapse was the largest in Aussie history
- a loss of multiple billions - and it
turns out - you guessed it - Andersen gave them a clean bill of health
3 months before their complete and utter
collapse.
Geez!
If this keeps up "Andersen" is going to be a synonym for "fuck up"!
I tried to watch Bush's State of the Union
- but man - they interrupt him every other word
for a standing ovation - that's not a speech.
I couldn't watch it.
Rick
Rick (and Michelle)
I didn't even watch it, tho I know it was my job :)
I popped in during commercials and Smirk would say,
"It's wrong to leave a small child behind,"
and the idiot GOP would spring to their feet
with this forced applause/cheering charade that was phonier than
those new Bush budget numbers.
Thanks for the report.
