    And Cheney installed Plame leak cronies in his office to replace Libby. At this point, one has to conclude that it isn’t that they don’t care who they offend but rather that they go out of their way to offend us.

    How else is he to destroy America’s intelligences agencies? Bush has never ever chosen component people for again government position.

    Politics above all else, including being component at managing the nation’s government.

    The yes-men cometh…


  4. Ryan Neat says:

    That could explain why bush looks so ‘unintelligent’ :)

    And to think the CIA might have had something to do with Kennedy’s assasination due to the Bay of Pigs fiasco(for all you Oliver Stone & conspiracy savants out there).

    I’d say that dumbya might want to start looking over his shoulder some.

    Seriously though, this takes HUGE cajones. This guy doesn’t live in any reality based world I’m familiar with. But I doubt that there is any confirmation process, so……

    He is a real in-your-face guy isn’t he? He couldn’t care less how it looks, or what are the consequences of his appointments; he is dictator and he will do as he pleases. History will not favor him, but that’s a hell of a long time to wait. He must be impeached — for lies, for incompetence, for irresponsibility, for an unnecessary war.


  7. Punchy says:

    There’s a joke in here somewhere, about a lack of intelligence giving Bush intelligence about his intelligence, but I can’t string it together.

    I’m still waiting for him to appoint his daughters as Ambassadors to Barbados and St. Martin….


  8. Pete Bogs says:

    we should crown Bush the king of the cronies… and then depose his ass…

    Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves. I can see the noose getting tighter all the time. Oh what a web we weave when we practice to decieve. The pot is boiling.

    Without a doubt, Bush could care less about the Republic of the United States of America. For a President to do this after Libby’s indictment is a show of total disinterest for the people which make up this country. Information such as this should be on prime time news, but so much else should have been too, from the Coalition Information Center of the US & UK for creating and calculating misinformation before the Afghan and Iraq wars to the WHIG bunch and the creation of talking points along with the Pentagon before and after the start of the Iraq war. …

    I wonder how informed the general population is. Do they even care about it themselves or the media propaganda machine? The end of times evangelicals, part of Bush’s base and about 25-30% of the population now, believe this is a good thing, as they believe they can force their “god’s” hand into his return.


  11. Andrew G. says:

    President bush must think “foreign” policy means policy made by people who don’t have mucho dinero.


  12. SKdeA says:

    Oy. We can all look forward to a LOT of problems arising from this. Aren’t a lot of his major contributors the kind of people who greatly desire a war in Israel, to bring on Armegeddon?
    Isn’t it swell to know diplomacy is dead?


  13. Pablo in Mexico says:

    This is what the people of amurka get for voting for a man with only an IQ of 91 for president.

    The man is a nut job with no idea how things work, how bad things look, how bad things are.
