June 3rd, 2006 at 10:25 pm#3 – Yay! Thanks!
June 3rd, 2006 at 10:29 pmEveryone Bush appoints to any position is a fraud or a liar! Michael Brown who ran FEMA lied on his resume as well!
June 3rd, 2006 at 10:34 pmFrom the White House press release, 5/24/06:
President George W. Bush today announced that he has named Karl Zinsmeister to be Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy. Mr. Zinsmeister is Editor-in-Chief of The American Enterprise magazine, a national publication he founded twelve years ago that specializes in politics, business, and culture. He is also a J. B. Fuqua Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research.
And since May 25, 2006, Mr. Zinsmeister has desperately and publicly been attempting to correct this inaccurate statement.
Uh-huh.
June 3rd, 2006 at 10:37 pmBubble boy has a thing for guys named Karl. I wonder if this Karl is going to be as good as convict Karl.
June 3rd, 2006 at 10:39 pmThis comes as no suprise. The American Enterprise Institute has formed our domestic policy since Bush took office. Bush should declare the AEI as a branch of our government and be done with it. If you want to see just what Karl Zinsmeister believes then go to the AEI website. Will this cabal ever end? Not while Bush is President.

This wouldn’t be the first time that someone working on behalf of the Bush administration has been caught lying on his resume, either…remember the fella who was caught out at NASA a few months ago? The twenty-something little pipsqueak who was instructing astrophysicts with doctoral degrees to downplay references to the “Big Bang” — when he himself had no background in either astronomy or astrophysics and was not even a college graduate despite the fact that his resume said he was?
June 3rd, 2006 at 11:23 pmSpeaking of dubious qualifications in the Bush White House, how about First Lady Laura Bush leading the U.S. delegation to the UN HIV/AIDS conference?
June 3rd, 2006 at 11:55 pmThe nation is being run into the ground by these fraternity dopes. It is getting almost laughable the level of corruption, cluelessness and buffoonery that is the leadership of America.
Cue the carnival music, the circus is in town.

June 4th, 2006 at 12:07 amOr how about Dick cheney’s other Daughter being Given the position of principal deputy assistant secretary, making her the No. 2 official on Middle East policy, which is described as… right up to PDAS … She is in a position to stop anything from going forward — as in the form of a memo, a recommendation — that she pretty much wants.â€
In her job as PDAS, Cheney is responsible for nearly all of the management and administration of the bureau, says White. “In one way, the PDAS is like Stalin in the early 1920s communist party, controlling personnel, able to promote, not promote, put people in key positions. This is an extremely powerful position.â€

June 4th, 2006 at 12:11 amSo should someone legitimately claim to have founded the American Enterprise magazine?

June 4th, 2006 at 12:52 amThis misadministration doesn’t give a sh*t about what’s on anyone’s resume. Hell, Zinsphincter could have written an accomplishment that he created the world in six days and Dumbya would still appoint his crony.
June 4th, 2006 at 1:06 amHell they hired a repug operative and put him inside NASA trying to keep the scientists from honestly reporting about their science as it related to global warming…he lied about having a degree he never earned…
June 4th, 2006 at 1:12 amHey Bush your a religious person take heed of what the pope says (your Boss bush)
Pope calls on Blair to end Iran stand-off
POPE Benedict XVI pressed Tony Blair to find a diplomatic resolution to the Iran nuclear crisis when he granted the prime minister a half-hour audience in the Vatican yesterday.
June 4th, 2006 at 5:32 amAnd Al Gore “founded” the internets.
June 4th, 2006 at 8:52 am#18 –
Gore was VERY much involved in the legislative side of “creating” the internet. While not the fundamental protocols and such, it was his legislation which provided funding to create what we use everyday.
I’ll quote one paragraph from
As far back as the 1970s Congressman Gore promoted the idea of high speed telecommunications as an engine for both economic growth and the improvement of our educational system. He was the first elected official to grasp the potential of computer communications to have a broader impact than just improving the conduct of science and scholarship. Though easily forgotten, now, at the time this was an unproven and controversial concept. Our work on the Internet started in 1973 and was based on even earlier work that took place in the mid-late 1960s. But the Internet, as we know it today, was not deployed until 1983. When the Internet was still in the early stages of its deployment, Congressman Gore provided intellectual leadership by helping create the vision of the potential benefits of high speed computing and communication. As an example, he sponsored hearings on how advanced technologies might be put to use in areas like coordinating the response of government agencies to natural disasters and other crises.
June 4th, 2006 at 9:40 amWhat is the history of the American Enterprise Magazine? Who really founded it? Is it associated with the American Enterprise Institute, the right wing think tank? I was wondering how Zinsmeister was connected with the early stages of the magazine
June 4th, 2006 at 10:41 amForget I asked. I went and read the original posting. The liars are coming together like a swarm of locusts.
June 4th, 2006 at 12:14 pmWho else has lied on their resumes?
I know Hecuva Job Brownie lied like 3 times on his resume.
Wasn’t there at least one other guy who lied pretty blatantly?
If you know please email me resistancecomm@aol.com
