Bush's Secret World
Excerpt:
Bush could not let go of his passion for privacy,
never seeming to fully understand that he is a public servant
who owed the nation more transparency. He ran
one of the most secretive administrations in history.
Cheney was allowed far-reaching duties and a zone
of privacy that the president did not even reserve for himself.
Even Cheney's whereabouts were top secret, as
was his spending of OUR MONEY.
When Cheney drunkenly shot a friend on a hunting
trip in Texas, it took days to get the details.
His aides later said he had opposed early efforts
to inform the White House press corps,
instead only authorizing communication with a
tiny local newspaper.
He had to sober up before he could talk to the cops.
Scooter Libby, ended up a convict essentially
for lying to protect his boss, who was a dirty crook who ordered
a campaign to discredit Joseph Wilson, who had
dared to publicly oppose the administration's Iraq policies.
In retaliation, Libby criminally leaked classified
information about Wilson's wife, who worked for the CIA.
Privacy was a relative matter for the Bush bastards.
When it suited his team's purposes, they leaked sensitive
information about a CIA employee -- something
they might have called treason if America
had a free press.
When it came to the people's right to know, Bush
could not have been less forthcoming, starting with his own
press conferences. It might seem like a petty
issue to some, but it was significant and telling that Bush would
not allow follow-up questions in his sessions
with reporters.
Bush and Cheney were always the bullies.
When they broke the law, they looked at the whore press and the Democrats
and said,
"So? What are you going to do about
it?" and both wet themselves in fear and walked away.
How is it possible Reid & Pelosi are still in power?

Yes, he got away with all that - do you know why?
Because the pink-tutu Democrats allowed Bush to rape,
kidnap, torture and murder anybody he wanted, but now that
we have an elected president, they stand up to him?
"We're
coming down hard of this Obama fella.
We'll
watch him like hawks 'cause he's dangerous!"

He’s Leaving. Really
Excerpt:
The man has been saying goodbye for so long,
he’s come to resemble one of those reconstituted rock bands
that have been on a farewell tour since 1982.
(Note: Obviously, she means The Who) We had exit interviews
by the carload and then a final press conference
on Monday, in which he reminisced about his arrival on the
national stage in 2000. "Just seemed like yesterday,"
he said.
I think I speak for the entire nation when I say
that the way this transition has been dragging on, even yesterday
does not seem like yesterday. And the last time
George W. Bush did not factor into our lives feels like around 1066.
Remember how much the whore media whined about "Clinton fatigue?"
Yeah, we got pretty fed up with that peace and prosperity and the surplus.
The whore media said we needed a "new direction" - so they propped
up the Bush bastards.

Quotes
"Imagine if it were reversed and I was the
one who made the 'mistake' Timothy Geithner made.
There would be penalties. There would
be hearings. Wesley Snipes and I would be blood brothers."
-- Der vulgar Pigboy, getting it worng as usual
Butt Rush, you got caughht with possession
with intent to sell Hillbilly heroin - but since you're a millionaire
and were friends with the crooked Florida
governor, you got off with less than a slap on the wrist..
Oh, and classy move - sending your maid
to buy the drugs, Pigboy.
Then you got caught a second time
bringing back illegal penis-hardening drugs when you took
that boys-only trip to the Dominican Republic,
the top boy prostitute destination in the world.
Once again, because you're rich and connected
- no penalties.
So why whine about a man who made a mistake
that didn't involve heroin or child sex?

Torture
is a Good Thing
by Bush's CIA Director Michael V. Hayden
Excerpt:
"These torture techniques worked," Hayden said
of the agency's interrogation program.
"One needs to be very careful" about eliminating
CIA "authorities," he said, because "if you create
barriers to doing things . . . there's no wink,
no nod, no secret handshake. We won't do it."
What?
If you create barriers to torture, they won't
torture?
Isn't that where America was when Bush stole
power?
Hayden's spirited defense of the agency came on
the same day that Eric Holder, our next attorney general,
testified on Capitol Hill that waterboarding,
an interrogation method used by the CIA, amounted to torture.
Whoever thinks waterboarding isn't torture should
put themselves in my hands for ten minutes.
I give you my Nancy Grace Guarantee
he'll think it's torture by minute 11.

The One That Got Away
Excerpt:
In assessments of the Bush presidency, the failure
to bring Osama bin Laden to justice should be noted as a significant disappointment.
On the bright side, al-Qaeda has
decided not to mount any significant attacks
on the U.S. homeland. In that respect the most important
objective of the antiterrorism strategy has
been brokered. But Bush leaves office
with a lingering sense of incompleteness, having not
achieved the one thing that would have enabled
him to use the word “victory” in the War on Terror without caveat...
Meanwhile Osama bin Laden is left with if not
the last laugh then at least one of the best. He outlasted President Bush."
Never in history have two "enemies" given each other such valuable gifts.
Bush made Osama the biggest (by leaps and bounds) figure in the Muslim
world.
Osama gave Bush an excuse to void the Constitution and steal all of
Iraq's oil.

Dear Bart and Mrs. Bart,
Just wanted to thank you for all the recent posts
and updates despite your recent stressful situation.
It will be exciting to watch Obama become president.
Finally, someone with good judgment and brains
in the White House.
Thanks for your insight, humor and persistence
in the face of adverse conditions.
Kat
Kat, thanks for that.
I remember when Bush stole power. Some whore
on CNN said,
"Pickles is riding with the president to some
function,"
and I thought, "Why is Pickles
traveling with Bill Clinton?"
Now we gotta re-train our minds again.
When some whore on CNN says, "The
White House said today..." we have to
resist
the urge to say, 'Those lying bastards have
never told the truth about anything."

By admitting up-front that mistakes will

Bart, Is the Tulsa World as bad as The Daily Oklahoman?

No.
The Daily Oklahoman is FOX News in print - all
Rove-approved lies.
The Tulsa World is a centrist, right-leaning
paper that always endorses the Republican,
but that's not Nazi-enough for the only
state where Obama didn't win one single county.
Oklahoma is now officially the backwards capitol
of America.
Indiana and South Carolina joined the the America

Oklahoma regrets the progress that Democrats

Bart,
Two little letters - EX - never
meant so much as they do now,
since we can put them before the word president
when talking about Bush.
I sometimes wondered if that day would every arrive.
Your site, more than any other, helped me cope
during this worst president's term in office.
I wish I tuned in (years!) sooner but better
later than never.
So, I want to give you a giant thank you for
all your work.
The job is not done of course, but it is a whole
new and different ball game.
I have a friend who is having knee surgery on
inauguration day.
I told her that it was a good omen as the country
is getting a new start under
President Obama, and she will be starting with
a brand new knee. New steps forward for all.
There is alot of work to be done but honestly,
I can't keep my hopefulness tapped down.
Now that the Bush nightmare is really, really
over, it wants to bubble over like a freshly un-corked bottle of champagne.
I feel free, like a great weight has been lifted.
Thanks again Bart, for ALL you do.

Holding Bush Accountable
Excerpt:
President Obama, on his first day in office,
can make a number of changes that will mark a clean break with the Bush
presidency.
He can, and should, issue an executive order
revoking any prior order that permits detainee mistreatment by any government
agency.
He should begin the process of closing Guantánamo,
and he should submit to Congress a bill to end the use of military commissions,
at least as presently constituted. Over the coming
months he can pursue other reforms to restore respect for the Constitution,
such as
revising the Patriot Act, abolishing secret prisons
and "extraordinary rendition," and ending practices, like signing statements,
that
seek to undo laws.
While these steps are all crucial, however, it
is not enough merely to cease the abuses of power and apparent criminality
that marked
the highest levels of George W. Bush's administration.
We cannot simply shrug off the constitutional and criminal misbehavior
of the
administration, treat it as an aberration and
hope it won't happen again. The misbehavior was not an aberration--aspects
of it,
particularly the idea that the president is above
the law, were present in Watergate and in the Iran/Contra scandal. To fully
restore the
rule of law and prevent any repetition of Bush's
misconduct, the abuses of his administration must be directly confronted.
As Indiana
University law professor Dawn Johnsen--recently
tapped by Obama to head his Office of Legal Counsel--wrote in Slate last
March,
"We must avoid any temptation simply to move
on. We must instead be honest with ourselves and the world as we condemn
our
nation's past transgressions and reject Bush's
corruption of our American ideals."
What we need to do is conceptually simple. We
need to launch investigations to get at the central unanswered questions
of Bush's
abuse of power, commence criminal proceedings
and undertake institutional, statutory and constitutional reforms. Perhaps
all these
things don't need to be done at once, but over
time--not too much time--they must take place. Otherwise, we establish
a doctrine
of presidential impunity, which has no place
in a country that cherishes the rule of law or considers itself a democracy.
Bush's claim
that the president enjoys virtually unlimited
power as commander in chief at a time of war--which Vice President Dick
Cheney
defiantly reasserted just last month--brought
us perilously close to military dictatorship.

Inauguration
Day, 2009:
A Day of
Mourning
by some right-wing racist bastards
Excerpt:
Obama's economic program can be summed up in
one word: reflation. Massive government spending, preceded
by
an orgy of bailouts. Earmarks, which yesterday
were anathema, are now presented as a panacea. Spending on this scale
requires some degree of bipartisan complicity,
but how will Obama get the Republicans to go along? You'll notice he's
been courting them rather assiduously, and that's
given rise to a new brand of "conservatives," the so-called Obamacons.
I don't know why antiwar.com is going after
Obama - maybe for the same reason that Kos is, that Buzzflash
is,
that Arianna is, or why most of
the pro-Obama camp has turned on him before he even starts the f-ing job.
Well, actually I do know why - it's because Democrats hate their heroes.
Why does the loyalty gene skip many Democrats?

Random thought...
Did you see that great inauguration concert Sunday night on HBO?
There were lots of good acts, but only one great one.
After most of the acts had played, Biden did a short speech.
Springsteen previewed his extra-boring Superbowl set, failing to heed
the wise advice I gave him about avoiding funeral songs at festive
settings.
Sheryl Crow played, Beyonce, and Mary J. Blige did fine - she's almost
always great.
Then out came Stevie Wonder, Usher and Shakira and
the Obamas started dancing.
Can you believe America has a president who can dance and not look
stupid?
Garth did some country songs - you know - that unity thing, again.
Then it was time for the biggest band in the world (with Zeppelin retired
)
U2 came out and played MLK's "Pride" on MLK Day,
on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, with the Bidens
and the
Obamas watching - probably seeing U2 live for the very first time.
"Free at
last, they took your life,
they could not take your pride."
It was a big enough occasion to drink some REAL tequila, if you catch my drift.
U2's a damn hard act to follow,
"And also
- the Palestinian dream..."
but Obama was up to the challenge with a great speech that avoided
the usual cliches.
Oh, and no issue tomorrow. I'm going to spend the day listening
to the
terribly-self-important Wolf the Whore bloviate horseshit
again and again..
"It's all
about ME, Bart."
Yeah, I know, Wolf...
