		<description>Failing Upwards: The Unauthorized Biography of Georgie W. Bush

Someone needs to write that book.  Bush and everyone associated with him can do no wrong that does nto result in promotion.  It&#039;s a s though they want to say, we&#039;re so unaccountable, we&#039;ll prove it by promoting the most ethically challenged and misguided among us only once those short-comings have been plastered across the public sphere for all to see.</description>

		<description>It goes without saying that this fake FEMA press conference is surprising only in its utter ineptitude. Sentient Americans have come to expect only such stunts from this administration and the poorly qualified stooges they have installed in all levels of the government, on the federal AND state level (think this is only Washington? Think again...)

What IS surprising, however, is the SHEER BALLS necessary to go from this:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I think it was one of the dumbest and most inappropriate things I&#039;ve seen since I&#039;ve been in government,&quot; Michael Chertoff said.

&quot;I have made unambiguously clear, in Anglo-Saxon prose, that it is not to ever happen again and there will be appropriate disciplinary action taken against those people who exhibited what I regard as extraordinarily poor judgment,&quot; he added.

Asked specifically if he planned to fire anyone at FEMA, which is part of his department, Chertoff declined to say, citing personnel rules.

&quot;There will be appropriate discipline,&quot; he told reporters at a news conference with New York&#039;s governor where they announced an agreement on a driver&#039;s license plan.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

to this, within 72 hours:

&lt;blockquote&gt;Just three days after FEMA is outed for a staging a fake press conference, its Director of External Affairs John â€œPatâ€ Philbin lands an â€œamazing opportunity to head the communications shop at ODNI,â€ according to FEMAâ€™s press secretary Aaron Walker (via email to PRNewser). The Washington Post confirmed the news through Vance Vines, Spokeswoman at ODNI.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Heckuva job, &quot;Patty&quot; indeed.

		<description>Read this. http://soundpolitics.com/archives/007920.html. It might help explain why Hillary has apparantly had nothing to say about the fake news conference. She has used this tactic herself. All â€œprogressivesâ€ should call for her immediate resignation.

Thank you for providing a link that doesn&#039;t work.  And, no, I will not take your later advice to do a google search on Hillary&#039;s &quot;fake town hall meeting.&quot;  Even if it is true, my parents taught me that &quot;two wrongs don&#039;t make a right.&quot;  Apparently you rightwingers never learned as much.</description>

		<description>This proves that those willing to LIE a BIG LIE will move forward in modern Fascist America.
BTW, if you folks don&#039;t HEAR ANYTHING coming from PROGRESSIVE or LEFT leaning politicians, could it possibly have anything to do with a general pattern of DISTORTION in media coverage that tends to ignore or downplay any remarks or comments from such politicians in favor of those who promote the corporate agenda?
For how long have we heard almost nothing but NEGATIVES about Democratic politicians or nothing at all? The corporate media are very clever today in their use of propaganda.</description>

		<description>#44 Ralph the Wonder Llama:

I&#039;d have to slightly disagree with you in that the wonder dunce was born to an old power family (including Prescott Bush with rumors that he tried to organize a coup on the govt in the 30s).  Every time he failed, he was bailed out.  But copying one of the affluent ideals, he always had his affairs organized that when he failed, he walked away with a wad of cash and the other people involved took the loss.

On another topic from another person - I&#039;d agree with impeachment.  But be careful that we don&#039;t get president Cheney.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Seriously though, I am glad I am not raising children right now. Because with the way this administration rewards incompetence and chicanery, I donâ€™t know I could teach kids that goodness and honesty have their rewards.

Comment by Lora â€” October 28, 2007 @ 5:23 pm
&lt;/em&gt;

And here again is a point where the Democratic leadership fails us again. Why can&#039;t they make the same points against &quot;Lying and dying&quot; under Botch that the RePugniScums made against Clinton. 

The RePugniScums shouted to the high heavens that Clinton was corrupting children for decades to come because &quot;he lied.&quot; (No one died)

I would say this sh&#124;t from this Botched up Dick(head) administration will do decades more real damage to children (serveral generations) than Clinton could have ever planned for on his best day.

Why can&#039;t the Democrats make points and get smart and stop this bullsh&#124;t??

Just play the &quot;Kid Card&quot; like the RePugniScums!!</description>

		<description>One of the hallmarks of Bush administration has been its steadfast commitment to rewarding its own incompetence, fraud and even criminality. While Katrina fall-guy Michael Brown was quietly edged out, the leading architects of the fiasco in Iraq including George Tenet, Tommy Franks and Paul Bremer received Presidential Medals of Freedom. Now in the latest example of President Bush&#039;s mantra that &quot;nothing succeeds like failure,&quot; Harvey Johnson has escaped punishment for his bogus FEMA press conference on Thursday, while his PR flack John Philbin is moving on to greener pastures at the office of the Director of National Intelligence.

For the details, see:

		<description>I would like/need an I.D.:

Is John &quot;Pat&quot; Philbin of FEMA the same Pat Philbin of Comey&#039;s midnight ride to the hospital to see Ashcroft? Goldsmith does not refer to Philbin as &#039;John&#039; only &#039;Pat&#039; so it might not be the same guy. 

I know &#039;a&#039; Philbin&#039;s career got sidelined as a result of going up against Addington/Gonzales/Cheney - but FEMA, jeez. Then downgraded to public affairs at National Intelligence, ouch. Next stop RNCC???

I hope it is not the same guy who had a career at OLC which can be  a springboard for Supreme Court Justice.</description>

		<description>It might have less to do with name calling and more to do with pointing out the obvious attempt to reach desperately for a way to try to twist the topic to a discussion of your distaste for Ms. Clinton. I am no big fan of hers either. Are you simply trying to bash her or are you pointing out the hypocrisy which is found in both parties?</description>

		<description>come to think of it... 
&quot;Why havenâ€™t I seen any [guiliani, romney, mccain, hunter, thompson, huckabee, brownback, et al] quotes on this? Did I just miss them, or [are they] being strangely silent about fake news conferences for some reason?&quot;

who knows?

seems only TCDon/C_TV12/P&#039;s buddy really cares about that...
