Suggestions for ‘President’ Cheney’s to-do list.
The National Review posted its favorite suggestions for what Dick Cheney should do during his three hours as acting President while Bush is under anesthesia for his colonoscopy tomorrow:
Bomb Iran.
Commute the sentences of those border agents.
Fire Mike Chertoff.
Tell Harry Reid to … well, you know…
Pardon Scooter.

and shoot another old man in the face.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:14 pmThis may be a bit beyond the pale, but sometimes it’s liberating to say what everyone is thinking: I suggest that he could dispatch himself with a pistol or shotgun. Right in the Offal Orifice.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:14 pmDon’t forget:
Bite heads off puppies, and
Give Jeff Gannon back his wristwatch
July 20th, 2007 at 7:14 pmWatch out!! Dick coming up from the rear, shooting men in the face…..
July 20th, 2007 at 7:18 pmGood one, No 1. Almost posted that one as an afterthought.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:18 pmI figured out why republicans blindly follow their leaders. They simply like to live vicariously through someone else who actually kicks ass, rather than being able to do so themselves.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:19 pmBomb Iran.
Commute the sentences of those border agents.
Fire Mike Chertoff.
Tell Harry Reid to … well, you know…
Pardon Scooter
———————————-
Perfect, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Of course we shouldn’t bomb Tehran, just drop a few MOABs on their nuclear facilities is all.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:21 pmPsst… Ringo… Mr P is looking for you…
July 20th, 2007 at 7:22 pmInstall a “Halliburton Inc.” sign on the front lawn of the White House.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:22 pmI hope he does pardon skater libbey. Then he will not be protected from having to testify under oath in a congressional leak inquiry.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:23 pmI agree. This list is perfect! I love it when a plan comes together!

Not if he’s living on the Bush hacienda in Paraguay.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:25 pmIf Cheney’s ticker stops ticking, does that make Pelosi president?
July 20th, 2007 at 7:26 pm*Add a grotto to the secure undisclosed location.
*Drink some puppies blood.
*Shoot a seal that has been stake to the ground.
*Dry hump bust of Joseph Stalin.
*Laugh at gays not related to me.
-GSD
July 20th, 2007 at 7:27 pmI would just add: Rid the planet of all who don’t follow our ideals! Facsism Rules!!!
July 20th, 2007 at 7:28 pmLooks like all my friends are here. Oh, I get high with a little help from my friends.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:29 pmGive another “last throes” speech.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:29 pmIf Cheney’s ticker stops ticking, does that make Pelosi president?
Comment by Badmoodman
Someone else pointed that out earlier. Sounds right to me.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
July 20th, 2007 at 7:30 pmThat’s a great to-do list. Of course, once he tries to implement it he’ll have to cut and run once he gets bogged down for the entire probe.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:31 pmHave sex with Laura.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:31 pmNo. Weak heart. He’ll have to have cyber sex with Laura using disappearing emails via the RNC.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:32 pmjohn nichols suggested he could even
pardon himself… always a first…
when i heard that i thought ‘hey! don’t give ‘em ideas!’…
i should have known the cons at notional review
July 20th, 2007 at 7:34 pmwould actually start a list…
…
Physically tear the Constitution to shreds instead of metaphorically.
Declare Martial Law
Abolish the nonessential banches of gorvernment
Turn the Justice Dept. into an arm of the republican party.
Well, the last is already done, and the preceding one is nearly complete.
He’ll have his work cut out for him.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:39 pmCan we sneak “Resign” onto that list? Maybe he won’t notice.
If Cheney’s ticker stops ticking, does that make Pelosi president?
Comment by Badmoodman — July 20, 2007 @ 7:26 pm
That’s a legitimate question, but the answer is “No.” The president merely has to transmit a letter saying no inability exists and he can resume his duties (or, if you prefer, his “dooties” now that the colonoscopy will have been completed. Sorry, it was there, I couldn’t resist.) The vice president has to be alive to, along with a majority of principal officers, stop the president from coming back.
But I like the brainstorming. What other ways can we think of to remove either one of them from office permanently and, this is most important, legally?
July 20th, 2007 at 7:41 pmFire Chertoff???
You mean, we actually AGREE on something???
July 20th, 2007 at 7:43 pmBob: “Turn the Justice Dept. into an arm of the republican party.”
Too late.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:45 pmDon’t forget the latest entry to the list:
July 20th, 2007 at 7:46 pmBomb Pakistan as well!
(I can’t believe the National Review left this one out!)
How about declare George an enemy combatant and arrange for him to be shipped to Gitmo before he wakes up? (Yes, there is a certain poetic justice to that.) Bomb Iran (already suggested). Then finish the plans for declaring overt martial law after the inevitable gas riots.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:49 pmDon’t forget the latest entry to the list:

Comment by SouthCarolinaLady — July 20, 2007 @ 7:46 pm
I think the Weekly Standard has the copyright on that one.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:51 pmMy suggestion would be Cheney bringing Rumsfeld back into the Administration in come capacity.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:55 pmGet real, guys. Do you really think Darth will be able to get anything accomplished. After all, it will be Saturday and you know he starts out with a Bloody Mary at 8 a.m. before breaking out the Chivas Regal and Heineken around 9. He’s sh*t-faced until Sunday night — or, as some would call it, he’s at “an undisclosed location”.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:56 pmAdd to list:
Pardon Halliburton, its subsidiaries and its subcontractors.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:56 pmIssue an Executive Order barring all investigation of the Executive Branch.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:56 pmRe-iterate that he is, in fact, part of the Executive.
Give three word speech to Congress.
Call off ‘08 elections.
Get more buckshot.
CONFISCATE THE GUNS.
I said that just to make the gun guys pee their pants.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:56 pmGet rid of the entire Judiciary. What do they need courts and judges for? They are irrelevent anyway.They ARE the law..
July 20th, 2007 at 7:57 pmAll sound good to me!
Also, write and sign an executive order to create a second to help continue processing terrorists. Guantanemo isn’t big enough, perhaps something on Greenland.
July 20th, 2007 at 7:58 pmEat a Peach for Peace.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:04 pmStart a punk rock band.
Admit heroin addiction.
Come out of the closet.
Dress up as Darth Vader.

* Wormtail dies on pg. 471
* Dobby dies on pg. 476
* Snape dies on pg. 658

* Harry dies on pg. 704
…just kidding, he comes back to life on pg. 724
* Tonks, Lupin, and Colin Creevy have their deaths confirmed on pg. 743
19 years after the events in the book:
* Ron has married Hermione, their two children are named Rose and Hugo
* Harry has married Ginny, their three children are named Lily, James, and Albus Severus.
* Draco Malfoy has a son named Scorpius
The epilogue shows all of the children boarding the train for Hogwarts together.
The final lines of the book are, “The scar had not pained Harry for 18 years. All was well.”
Plot Spoilers:
Part of Voldemort’s soul was implanted into Harry whenever he used Ara Kadvara on him when he was a baby. Harry then sacrifices himself Lily Potter style, which allows him to kill Voldemort without killing himself. He also has a stone to bring him back to life and an uber wand.
Voldemort kills Snape.

July 20th, 2007 at 8:08 pmPlease write to the 70 Dems who signed this bill to thank them and if your rep’s name is not on to to http://www.House.gov and ask them to sign. Thank you!
70 Congressmen tell Bush no cash without troop withdrawal
http://rawstory.com/news/2007/70_Congressmen_tell_Bush_no_cash_0719.html
Only 70 congressmen? Where are the rest?
Why isn’t your name attached?
The Executive Branch must be defunded IMMEDIATELY, and all their assets frozen.
Cheney needs to be impeached and removed from office asap. Please sign Congressman Kucinich’s bill.
Only 70 congressmen? Where are the rest and what do they think about this?
There seems to be a lot of Ds not listed. Where the hell are they?
July 20th, 2007 at 8:11 pmhe probably will…and all the outrage will fade by the next news cycle
July 20th, 2007 at 8:15 pmOh and don’t forget…
Start the draft!!!!!
So these chickenhawk Young republicans can do more than give lip service about this being the “War of Their Generation”.
Their great grandfathers are wondering why their moms raised such wimps.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:19 pmI am thrilled that I will have a chance to talk with Dick instead of George.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:27 pmAfter three hours of Cheney as prez, Bush’s poll numbers are sure to skyrocket.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:29 pmpotterisahorcux should be banned from TP.
Comment by Egreggious
Really! Did you email TP?
July 20th, 2007 at 8:35 pmGood idea I suppose, too bad Cheney didn’t become President today!
He could have issued an executive order televising the Potter Book!
July 20th, 2007 at 8:37 pmPersonally, I would like to see Dick Cheney alone,
July 20th, 2007 at 8:39 pmin a room bare except for a table and chair,
with a two way mirror at one end,
and surveillence cameras in all four corners.
He may have the days newspapers of his choosing,
he may answer phone calls, but not make them,
and he must keep his hands on the table at all times.
11 posts in, and we have a Hitler!
July 20th, 2007 at 8:44 pmThe spoiler is a bunch of hooey.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:47 pmr,
perhaps there’s a hitler because this regime is SO much like Hitler’s.
Open your mind, just once, and see the comparison.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:49 pm11 posts in, and we have a Hitler!
Comment by r
Your point? TP doesn’t censor the site. People post under Mr. President, President Clinton and many other famous names. If somebody wants to post under Hitler’s name all of a sudden you think he should be censored.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:49 pmWouldn’t it be nice to be Bush’s proctologist, so you could decide what to shove up his ass?
July 20th, 2007 at 8:49 pmWon’t it be sad for all of you when nothing happens in that 3 hours.
I’m sure there will be an apology post at TP.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:51 pmWouldn’t it be nice to be Bush’s proctologist, so you could decide what to shove up his ass?
Comment by The Doctor
First you have to remove his head which is so firmly ensconced up there. And as soon as you do that all the trolls will have their noses wedged up there. I don’t know how that doctor will ever be able to check for polyps.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:52 pmWon’t it be sad for all of you when nothing happens in that 3 hours.
I’m sure there will be an apology post at TP.
Comment by Nothing matters
Sure, right after we get the apology from Bush and Cheney for destroying our democracy and our reputation in the world.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:53 pmDidn’t suggest censuring.
Just pointing out how this group can’t get through a thread without a good Hitler or Nazi post. The adults don’t do that so much at National Review.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:54 pmadults don’t do that so much at National Review.

Then please feel free to go back there, because we enlightened people see the warning signs.

Then why aren’t you over there. Besides don’t they support this fascist regime over at National Review.
July 20th, 2007 at 8:57 pmhey trueblue, how’s that puppy treating you?
July 20th, 2007 at 8:59 pmThe adults don’t do that so much at National Review.
Since when do the blogs at NRO have comment threads?
Oh. They don’t.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:02 pmI think NRO does have comments now.
But not as much fun as here.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:04 pmCheney be damned.
I just hope that tomorrow, while the chance presents itself, Bush’s doctors will see fit to pull his head out of his ass.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:06 pmLike spending the day at the Zooey, if you know what I mean.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:06 pmHi, shane,
The pic on facebook is a little old, but she’s cool.
Hell on wheels (paws) sometimes!
Her name is Biscuit.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:07 pmCheney probably has all the executive orders he plans on signing ready to go.
Bomb Iran. (check)
Start global nuclear war. (check)
Declare all Democrats who disagree with him to be enemy combatants, ordering his privatized army (Blackwater, Custer Battles, etc) to round up all disagreeable Democrats. (check)
Give Joe Lieberman a Medal of Freedom. (check)
(And all of this just in the first five minutes while Bush is having his butt probed, to check to see if Cheney’s brain is in there, since we all know that Cheney has lost his mind).
July 20th, 2007 at 9:09 pmWell whatever he does you can be certain the opposition will fail to do anything about it, and retreat to their blogs for round-the-clock whining. That’s done so much for the last 6 years.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:13 pmI’m puzzled. Is it routine in America to go under anesthesia during a colonoscopy? I had the procedure last year and was awake the whole time and was allowed to watch it on the monitor. Very weird. But all I got was a local.
If Bush is “going under”, is this more than merely routine? Will they be taking tissue samples for biopsies?
I ask, cuz, as you all know, Bush hasn’t looked that good lately. He’s aged a decade in the past six months. He might be sick. I’m not buying that he’s feeling the stress of the job –he’s never felt stress, but I’d be willing to bet he’s got something.

Comment by david
This thought went thru my head today as well, it would certainly be uncomfortable, but not neccessary to be put out for…
July 20th, 2007 at 9:21 pmmaybe they just like to knock people out here.
Anesthesiologists make a LOT of money…………….
Hillary Clinton will never be president. Dick Cheney will.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:26 pmAnd, when Dicky goes in to get his batteries changed, who will become acting president then?
July 20th, 2007 at 9:27 pmOh, wait, the same guy who’s acting out the role now….
(…………never mind…………)
Why are they not using the cam pill instead of this invasive procedure? Oh, I forgot – the physicians would not make the bucks.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:35 pmI’m puzzled. Is it routine in America to go under anesthesia during a colonoscopy?
Not routine but can be done on request by wimps like GDumbya.
Don’t forget, we’re talking about a sissy cheerleader boy who went AWOL from the TANG here. He’s been “medicated” and anesthetized for most of his adult life. Of course, he needs to be knocked out to have his azz reamed.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:37 pmBarack Hussein Obama is a wimp.

Abolish Congress
Wipe ass with Constitution, send to Leahy

oh frig’ peeeeeeeeeeee,
I was actually having a good time tonight.
Then you had to show up and f*ck with our site.
Why?
Why do you do this?
I’m serious. As a Cheney heart attack.
Why do you feel it necessary to come here and spread your bile?
July 20th, 2007 at 9:55 pmWHERE HAVE ALL THE TPers GONE?????
Unlike you, when you earn a living, it is hard to be here all the time.
July 20th, 2007 at 9:58 pmOf course, he needs to be knocked out to have his azz reamed.
Comment by Tom
You mean he was out cold all those times Jeff Gannon visited the WH?
July 20th, 2007 at 9:59 pmIt must be “Hug a tree Friday”
July 20th, 2007 at 10:06 pmJust a few more Cheney to-do list items.
Move Bush’s Office Into His. (That would just make what he has been doing more official)
July 20th, 2007 at 10:06 pmCharge Gun Rack to Oval Office
Fire Condi (has always wanted to)
RE-Format WH Hard Drive (no, I think he did that already)
Invite Ex-Enron Pals to WH Frat Party
leftcoast, you are so kick-a cutting edge.
Change your name to the razor!
July 20th, 2007 at 10:09 pmGeorge has a sapling you can hug, Mr. P(P)
July 20th, 2007 at 10:11 pm“During his three hours as acting president.” Am I Rip Van R. or did Bush start acting as a president?
July 20th, 2007 at 10:11 pmIf something happened, ex: ‘o’ ring in the anesthesia machine was defective, and Bush passed…. would there be the same sadness from the masses as when Kennedy was killed? I would imagine the very opposite and this in itself would go down in history.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:19 pmThis just another example of Bush putting incompetent cronies in High Places.

I just got a chance to read The One Percent Solution. Here is a small tidbit.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:26 pm
Russ, at first I thought you were referring to the One Percent Doctrine by Suskind. Haven’t read the One Percent Solution.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:35 pmCheney is certainly impeachable. Now if Dems will just give it a try.
Thanks for the book tip.
leftcoast
I did actually mean the Suskind book, sorry. Great book.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:41 pmTrue story: Secret Service’s code name for Cheney is “Edgar”—-as in Edgar Bergen, meaning W is Charlie McCarthy and Cheney is the one in command.
I wish the media would stop saying W chose Cheney as VP. He didn’t. Cheney chose Cheney as VP. W chose Cheney to pick a VP and he chose himself. They were both living in Texas which is unconstitutional for the P and VP to be from the same state. So Cheney just said that he would use a Wyoming address.
Is Halliburton moving to Dubai? How patriotic!!!
July 20th, 2007 at 10:45 pmCheney has dulled political accountability and concocted theories for evading the law and Constitution that would have embarrassed King George III.
The vice president insists that an executive order governing the handling of classified information in the executive branch does not reach his office because he also serves as president of the Senate. In other words, the vice president is a unique legislative-executive creature standing above and beyond the Constitution.
Alexander Hamilton advised in the Federalist Papers, an impeachable offense is a political crime against the nation. Cheney’s multiple crimes against the Constitution clearly qualify.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:45 pmCheney’s multiple crimes against the Constitution clearly qualify.
Comment by leftcoast
We’ve been in a constitutional crisis for several years now. The MSM are such enablers. they won’t touch this w/ a 10 ft pole, or Croat, or Serb…
July 20th, 2007 at 10:50 pmKeith G- Yes, I heard some time ago that Halliburton was moving it’s HQ to Dubai. Halliburton has used an offshore subsidiary incorporated in the Cayman Islands (where the company has no oil and gas construction or engineering operations) to trade with Iran, a country that the Bush administration has described as part of an “axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world”.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:50 pmLeftcoast, did you read Suskind’s book “The Price of Loyalty”? That one made me cry at the end. (I cry easy in case people haven’t figured that out yet..)
July 20th, 2007 at 10:51 pmPowerful book, the story told through the eyes of Paul O’Neill.
I’m sure Cheney would love to meet his kinder gentler half-brother, Voldemort.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:52 pmJG, yes. What happened with Paul O’Neill was extremely sad and a good example of a good man set among treacherous leaders. This was a great book.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:55 pmZooey,
July 20th, 2007 at 10:56 pmCheney has it all over Voldemort doesn’t he?
leaftcoast,
Would the dems have enough votes in the senate to actually impeach the vice-p?
July 20th, 2007 at 10:56 pmMy favorite new bumper sticker:
CHENEY / VOLDEMORT 2008
July 20th, 2007 at 10:58 pmDick should have a beer or five and go quail hunting, there’s a place up in Utah I hear is really hot right now………….
July 20th, 2007 at 10:59 pmRuss,
July 20th, 2007 at 11:02 pmI doubt if impeachment would end up with conviction in the Senate. The main thing is to demonstrate that there is a will to attempt to hold our leadership accountable. And the rest of the world needs to see some demonstration of moral character. We truly have gutted our moral authority.
Zooey,
Cheney has it all over Voldemort doesn’t he?
Comment by leftcoast
Oh lordy, you know it. :}
BTW, how quiet is it going to be around here when we get our books? No giving away secrets!!
July 20th, 2007 at 11:02 pmKeith G
so right on … This was all decided in the ’90’s when PNAC was written… Get the PNAC players in and begin empire building.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:03 pmIt was unconstitutional to have two from the same state running for pres/vp as Cheney was from Texas. But what the hell, the laws now broken are too numerous to count.
If it were possible, those guilty of crimes should be tried by the persons harmed and dealt with in their custom. Then we will see the healing process begin.
Zooey,
July 20th, 2007 at 11:07 pmI tend to read a book non stop. Doubt TP’ers will give away secrets, but trolls may. Oh, wait, they don’t read. No worries.
Speaking of PNAC, which in turn always makes me think of William Kristol, which reminded me of his prediction earlier this week that we would soon be going into Pakistan…
I was watching the news earlier and they had a report on how unstable the regime in Pakistan is, and that it is likely that Musharaf [sp?] will soon fall.
If true, we’re likely to have even bigger troubles in store for us than the mess that is Iraq. I can hardly wait.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:10 pmIs there anything that upsets Chaney? Most of the time, he walks around with this look of utter distain, holds himself above everyone, including GW. Certainly wouldn’t want to rub elbow with ‘the lower classes’ and really doesn’t give a damn about other people.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:14 pmI think I just described how royalty acts.
Wonderful! Now we’re looking at Pakistan? What are we going to use to invade that country? Boy Scouts!
July 20th, 2007 at 11:18 pmEgreggious,
July 20th, 2007 at 11:20 pmI can just see the Taliban with nukes.

Yes, trolls, you too could be a Republican presidential candidate one day. Just keep sitting at home beating that war drum.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Nancy Pelosi and her elevation to speaker of the house.
The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Nancy is a post turtle.”
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.
The old rancher said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle.”
The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. “You know he didn’t get there by himself, he doesn’t belong there, he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there, and you just want to help the poor dumb animal get down.”
There seems to be a lot of post turtles in politics these days!
July 20th, 2007 at 11:24 pm“…Now we’re looking at Pakistan?”
Yeah, just great, now 7-11 will be considered a terrorist organization…
July 20th, 2007 at 11:25 pmTom Foley was a Democrat.
I’ve made the same mistake myself.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:25 pmNancy Post-Turtle it is!
July 20th, 2007 at 11:27 pmI think Zooey meant Tom Foolery.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:27 pmOur trolls should be enamored with the Republican candidates Rudolph Giuliani and Mitt Romney, who both managed to avoid service during the Vietnam War.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:27 pm—
Fred Thompson can be added to that list.
Mark Foley, Zooey.
Tom Foley is someone else. :)

Damned straight. Perhaps BigDick intends to make that enormous embassy his personal “Fortress of Solitude” when he has to finally flee the country. Every now and then, I stop and it hits me. Is this really happening? How did this get so crazy in just 7 years? Why does ANYONE take Duh-bya and BigDick seriously anymore? Oh damn, that’s right – thinking like this means I’m ready for my aluminum-foil hat!
July 20th, 2007 at 11:41 pmBush dying getting his ass checked would be ironic and would be interesting notation in history books too.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:42 pmI’m puzzled. Is it routine in America to go under anesthesia during a colonoscopy? I had the procedure last year and was awake the whole time and was allowed to watch it on the monitor. Very weird. But all I got was a local.
i’ve had 2, both under anesthesia… was told that is routine…
less chance of puncture that way, for sure…
what kind of local?
did you have a “virtual” coloscopy? (scan type)
or the actual internal scope?
If Bush is “going underâ€, is this more than merely routine? Will they be taking tissue samples for biopsies?
that’s the plus with an actual colonoscopy vs. the virtual…
any polyps can be removed immediately… every thing is biopsied…
any cancer develops from polyps… so if any are found with a
virtual, you have to go through the “cleansing” process again for
a colonoscopy to remove them…
the scope also detects and discerns diverticuli problems…
I ask, cuz, as you all know, Bush hasn’t looked that good lately. [...]

Want to see something kind of creepy? Go over to C&L and find John Stewart’s piece about Duh-bya and the math on al Quaida. He plays clips of Bush making similar statements very quickly and you can just see Bush age in rapid succession.
No, he doesn’t look good these days. Tone of voice, focus in his eyes, speech patterns, body language… I say the man has had a psychotic snap. Look it up. He’s gone, left the house, all alone, living on Planet George…
July 20th, 2007 at 11:50 pmTRoS,
I love the way you smack the trolls around, especially Mr. Pee.
I know we engage them too much, and it has driven some people away, but, if it’s going to be done, you’re the man!
I also love Mr. President’s Tube Sock (that’s an odd thing to say), and I wonder which of our posters has assumed that role.
I enjoy the free-wheeling atmosphere at TP, which is due in part to the fact that almost anything goes. I like that we come down hard on those with ridiculous opinions and everyone is challenged to stay on their toes. Reading threads at some of the registration sites makes me yawn. A bunch of people patting each other on the back and repeating nice safe talking points.
There are drawbacks to both methods, I guess. I hope if TP does registration, we will still welcome a variety of opinions and a laid-back atmosphere.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:51 pmWho knows, while the doctors are there looking around, maybe they’ll find Bush’s missing military papers.
July 20th, 2007 at 11:51 pmYes Raven > when Jeff Gannon’s wristwatch is found up Bush’s butt, then that will have to be classified > lol.

Personally I’m surprised at how “good” Bush looks.
Almost all presidents age visibly while in office.
The record-setting failures of this Administration would have taken a heavy toll on most executives.
Unless of course Bush doesn’t see them as failures at all, but rather that everything is going exactly as planned….

The anonimity of on-line posting is a blessing for someone like you. If people knew where you lived, you’d probably be walking funny the rest of your life. In some ways, it’s easy to forgive you.

Bush is a sissy.
July 21st, 2007 at 8:32 am“This morning at 7:16 a.m., letters from President Bush were faxed to the Speaker of the House and President Pro Tempore of the Senate,” the White House said in a statement.
“These letters informed them of his decision to invoke Section 3 of the 25th Amendment to voluntarily transfer his powers and duties to the Vice President. This transmission transfers his duties, therefore the Vice President is now serving as Acting President.”
In a perfect world Congress would reply to this letter and inform the WH about their decision to invoke Article 2, Section 4 of the United States Constitution: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Maybe someday we’ll find out about the laws that Cheney made up and passed for himself. God, I hope not.

No, we ELECT leaders who think like us AND kick ass like us. This is a democratic republic, not anarchy, correct?
Even so, I’d rather follow leaders who kick ass than follow leaders like Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, who do………nothing. (Well, Kennedy does get drunk and sing on talk radio shows….and calls Barack Obama “Osama Bin Laden”…so there’s some comic relief at least.)
President Cheney as I write this. Don’t be scared, folks.
Now I’ve shaken hands with TWO living Presidents!
