Truly a tragedy that this mentally impaired person has to be in the most powerful position in the world! Once a govenor with the most ever executions notched in his thin belt and now more than four thousand dead and triple that number maimed during his watch as president while he "clowns around" looking for attention, laughs et al. One mentally sick, sadistic being. It should make all of us blush with total embarassment that he even represents us! Next, he'll probably entertain us with his cowboy acts of "bring em on" while stumbling to the front door of the White House on bended knees as he did during his earlier non-acting drunken stupor days till he was 40! Wake Up America! Whoops! Think it did . . . his ratings just went down a few more points!!!!! Hooray! Should be in the gutter by January 9, 2009!!!!! Abu Ghraib prison can be his and Papa Cheney's next residence!

I noticed that, too -- after doing the hearing version of a double-take. A totally superfluous little fact, until you stop and think for a moment: two of three voluntary deployments means one involuntary, compulsory, forced, unintended, unplanned, against-his-will, torn-from-his-family deployment. Good for you, Howie!! Don't let the rah, rah, rah hide one of the many ugly facts of this ugly war.

You mean “three screams”?

“Oooh, Chuck, that sounds like he’s getting the old electrodes to the testicles.”
