It doesn't take a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows...
Maybe this is a minor point but isn't it fascinating that when three quarters of the nation believes the Bush Administration isn't trustworthy, the liars-that-be simply continue on with their calculated subterfuge as if there has been zero change in the public's view of their honesty?
Is it wholistically medically/scientifically possible --- whoops, we forgot that medicine and science ceased to exist in 2000 -- for the entire Gang That Couldn't Talk Straight to be considered pathological liars? Does group pathology exist?
and
from a recent Rush Limbaugh, the comedian/drugster, show featuring KR -- Karl Rove -- not KBR Kellogg Brown and Root, the Dick Cheney subsidiary:
"RUSH: I received a bunch of e-mails from people when I said you were going to be on, who wanted me to pass on to you that they love you.Yes, those people must have included:
"KARL ROVE: Oh, thanks Rush.
"RUSH: We all do.
"KARL ROVE: Thanks, buddy."
*** all them 'lesbians' and 'lezzy leaners' sprinkled throughout the administration of the late Texas governor Ann Richards
*** former Texas Democratic governor Mark White who so dastardly infiltrated Karl Rove's inner sanctum and planted a listening device in Rove's office
*** John McCain and family -- the John McCain who collaborated with the Viet Cong and fathered his 'darkie' daughter during a fling with a black prostitute
*** incumbent Alabama juvenile and family court judge Mark Kennedy who was protrayed as Mr. Pedophile
Yep, Rush can keep his love buddy. And his oxycontin. And his hydrocodone. And don't forget his maid, who was sent out on procurement missions. Wouldn't that be considered a twofer, sending out an illegal immigrant to illegally obtain prescription drugs? Just asking.
and
in the Is-That-Your-Final-Answer Department:
"...Speaking to reporters traveling with him in Iraq yesterday, [General David] Petraeus said he is preparing recommendations on troop levels while getting ready to go to Washington next month. He declined to give specifics.Anyone care to venture a guess what words of wisdom Petraeus' September report will contain?
"We know that the surge has to come to an end," Petraeus said, according to the Associated Press. "I think everyone understands that, by about a year or so from now, we've got to be a good bit smaller than we are right now. The question is how do you do that . . . so that you can retain the gains we have fought so hard to achieve and so you can keep going..."
and
Finally, we have the brilliant Dan Froomkin -- and of course Jon Stewart -- to thank for this:
"...Jon Stewart last night got angry about that Dick Cheney video from 1994 -- the one in which Cheney outlines all the very good reasons for not invading Iraq. Then he took it out on Cheney hagiographer Stephen Hayes.Stephen Hayes is either unintelligent, lazy or chose to imbibe too much of the Bush kool-aid and become a full-fledged, card-carrying member of the Mayberry Machiavellis. Maybe Hayes' tome on Cheney has missing chapters, a la the thousands of weapons in Iraq, the million of dollars unaccounted for, the WMD that just damn well has to be there someplace, et al. Yeah, that's the ticket -- enter Jon Lovitz, formerly of Saturday Night Live, tieing in this last item with our first:
"The clip from 1994, where he says we were right not to go to Baghdad because it would be chaos -- that seemed right," Stewart said. "But then when he came out later saying we'll be greeted as liberators, I don't see this thing lasting more than a few weeks -- that was wrong. Explain that to me."
Hayes said things changed after 9/11.
Stewart responded: "But even given the unacceptable threat -- let's say he decides there's an unacceptable threat, we have to go in. Clearly 1994 Dick Cheney foresaw all kinds of crazy complications of that. But 2002-2003 Dick Cheney didn't apparently plan for those complications. . . .
"Their argument is always 9/11 changed everything. But it didn't change that, did it? "Why didn't 2002-2003 Dick Cheney come out and say to the American people: This is going to be chaotic. . . .
"He made that case in 1994. He knew those were the problems. And they never brought it up in the run-up to the war."
Pathological Liars Anonymoustop
Tommy Flanagan.....Jon Lovitz
Announcer: And now, a message from Pathological Liars Anonymous.
Tommy Flanagan: Hello, my name is Tommy Flanagan, and I'm a member of Pathological Liars Anonymous. In fact.. I'm the president of the organization!
I didn't always lie. No, when I was a kid, I told the truth. But then one day, I got caught stealing money out of my mother's purse. I lied. I told her it was homework - that my teacher told me to do it. And she got fired! Yeah, that's what happened!
After that, lying was easy for me. I lied about my age and joined the army. I was thirteen at the time. Yeah.. I went to Vietnam, and I was injured catching a mortar shell in my teeth. And they made me a three-star general! And then I got a job in journalism, writing for the National Enquire.. er, Geographic! Yeah.. I was making twenty thousand a ye.. month! In fact, I won the Pulitzer Prize that year! Yeah, that's the ticket.
And then my cousin died - Joe Louis - and I took it hard. Maybe too hard - I tried to kill myself. Yeahh.. I did kill myself! Sure! I was medically dead for a week and a half! It was a woman that brought me out of it - Indira Gandhi! Yeah, right.. And she told me about Pathological Liars Anonymous.
Oh, you'd be surprised how many famous people belong. In fact.. at one of the meetings I met my wife - Morgan Fairchild! Yes, I'm a changed man now, and all because of Pathological Liars Anonymous. Why, I - I even have my picture on the cover of Newsweek magazine. Yeah. Every day! Yeah.. that's the ticket! Yeah, you betcha!
