But I know he did - I read it on a bumper sticker: “Bush Lied, People Died.“

If Bush didn’t lie - who did? JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER … that’s who!

The news is out all over town. Bush never lied about the intelligence he received after the Attack on America. It was West Virginie’s good Senator John D. Rockefeller the Fourth, chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, who LIED!

Senator Rockefeller lied through his teeth when he said that the Bush administration “repeatedly presented intelligence as fact when it was unsubstantiated, contradicted or even nonexistent.”

Bush told the truth; Rockefeller lied. “‘Bush Lied’? If Only It Were That Simple,” by Fred Hiatt of the Washington Post proves it.

The 100% phony “Bush lied” story was concocted by Rockefeller to distract from his own prewar incompetence and failure to lead. The intelligence upon which the brand new President Bush and his administration relied was horrifically false. After eight years of the Clinton administration’s stewardship of the CIA and Senator Rockefeller’s overseeing of the Select Committee on Intelligence, we were doomed.

So … what else was left for Senator Rockefeller to do but to cover his sorry rear? He came up with the bumper sticker slogan - “Bush Lied” and the rest is a sad chapter of rewriten history, as many Americans believed Rockefeller’s outrageous subterfuge. Read the story at WaPo and weep. Then be man enough to scrape that lying bumper sticker off of your car. Here’s a new bumper sticker for ya: “ROCKEFELLER LED - 3000 DEAD!”

Come visit “Beautiful Vermont” entice the travel posters, where cows may safely graze and nudists may safely preen. Yet if our own President or Vice President of these United States set feet upon the streets of their Brattleboro paradise, Vermonters are ready and willing to slap the cuffs upon them and haul their clothed fannies off to the slammer. If the most powerful people in the nation must shudder with fear to visit such a place; if President Bush and Vice President are in peril in Vermont where they have been threatened with arrest for war crimes, why would any of us lesser mortals of the lower forty-eight travel there for fun and relaxation? We would not - not unless we leave our clothes behind or are as loony as the Vermonters, themselves! We’ll travel elsewhere.

Is our President Bush in danger of imprisonment as a war criminal? Probably not, as he has already served six years in office visiting every state in the Union except … TA DA …. Vermont! He’s no dummy nor is he as loony as the Vermonters. And he’s a whole lot smarter than anyone planning a vacation trip to Vermont.

Vermont has a live-and-let-live tradition, however it applies only to skinny-dipping, nude sunbathing artists, writers and musicians from Boston or New York. Yes, it’s true; Brattleboro is expecting to pass a law this coming March that would make both President Bush and Vice President Cheney immediately subject to arrest and indictment if they dare to visit the southeastern Vermont paradise. Nothing at all about “live and let live” in these warnings: “Shall the Selectboard instruct the Town Attorney to draft indictments against President Bush and Vice President Cheney for crimes against our Constitution, and publish said indictment for consideration by other municipalities?”

Let’s see if I have this right. While American soldiers are fighting and dying to protect the right of nudists to freely stroll the byways of Vermont, and to guarantee that contented cows may continue to provide cream for Vermont’s exports, and citizens of the state are not blown up mid-air, the ungrateful Vermonters are busily drafting indictments against the Commander in Chief of those same soldiers. This is happening in Vermont, while the rest of the nation is in a state of war.

Show some respect, Vermont! Start by finding enough clothing somewhere to cover your too fat fanny.

Vermont Petition Calls For Indictment Of Bush, Cheney For War Crimes

NBC to the Troops - “We HATE You!”

We hate you because we hate President George Bush. We hate you because we hate Bush’s policies. We hate you because we hate war. We hate you for defending the First Amendment. We hate you because we are suffering from BDS. We have to hate you because we hate America so much. We hate you because our owner General Electric, hates you.

Now that our owner and parent company, GE, is making most of its money outside of the United States, we are free to hate America and the troops as much as we like. We no longer need to rely upon United States government contracts. You troops and your families, friends and supporters no longer need to purchase our consumer products nor watch our television shows, nor purchase products from companies that advertise on NBC, because we don’t depend upon American money for our profits. We believe that all of our GE shareholders probably hate you too.

YES, it’s true Troops, we HATE you. Read about it here: NBC rejects ad thanking troops.

This One Riles the Republicans.

In response to the carping of Democrats over his non-pardon of White House aide Scooter Libby, President George Bush has “turned the tables” on the Dems and pardoned the Impeachment of President Bill Clinton. Bush went even further than anyone expected by pardoning both Bill and Hillary Clinton for the 140 pardons that Clinton signed on his last day in the White House.

“I want to be known as the ‘Pardoning’ President”, Bush explained at a press conference announcing this unexpected turn of events. “If I can pardon illegal aliens for breaking the laws of our country, then certainly I can pardon one former president for doing likewise. Afterall, I am a Christian and so is he and our faith teaches us to ‘turn the other cheek.’ I am pardoning both Clintons for their Presidential pardons and I am pardoning them for being hypocrites also. I am just a pardoning kinda guy.”

“Never again will my predecessor have to endure the indignity of being addressed as the ‘impeached Former President.’ And never again will my press secretary and my remaining fifteen Republican supporters be able to refer to the Clintons as hypocrites for condemning my non-pardon when they committed 140 pardons themselves on their very last day in office.”

“I’m President now and I am granting Bill Clinton a full and complete Presidential Pardon. Not only will I grant the pardon to Bill, I will grant a pardon to his gracious and lovely wife Hillary, as well. I wish them Godspeed in their self-righteous quest to begin a new Clinton dynasty in America. May their daughter Chelsea follow their footsteps in service to our nation. For this reason I am pardoning Hillary Clinton for her eight years as a co-president so there will be no Constitutional hindrance whatsoever to her serving another eight years when she is elected to the U.S. Presidency.”

SIGNED: George W. Bush
Pardoner President of the United States of America

The experts weigh in - Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Perjury they know well, as Bill Clinton was fined and lost his law license for perjuring himself while President of the United States. The Clintons scored 140 presidential pardons during their final days in office, including pardoning the president’s brother and pardoning the international fugitive crook Mark Rich. Obstruction of justice does not matter when you are the Clintons. However …. when you are George Bush and exercise the president’s constitutional right to commute ‘ONE’ White House aide’s time in prison, then you are truly obstructing justice and downright evil. Just listen to the Clintons, as they should know and know all too well.

Contrary to the Clinton revisionists, President Bill Clinton became only the second U.S. president in history to be impeached. Andrew Johnson was impeached before him, in 1868. Bill Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998, on grounds of perjury to a grand jury and obstruction of justice. Those are the facts. Neither Johnson nor Clinton were removed from office after their impeachment as that requires a two thirds vote in the U.S. Senate.

Clintons Accused of Hypocrisy

Perhaps it was the inspiration of the many courageous acts of soldiers under his command at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, or perhaps it was the influence of Papa Bush while vacationing at Kennebunkport, or perhaps it was a double dose of the backbone strengthener Fosomax. Wherever he found the strength, resolve and courage, President George Bush was able to do the right thing in regards to the prosecution and unjust punishment meted out to former White House aid Scooter Libby.

News reports are telling that “President Bush is facing a firestorm of criticism from Democrats after commuting the sentence of a former aide in his White House, I. Lewis Libby Jr., who was facing 2 1/2 years in prison for obstructing an investigation into the leak of a CIA officer’s identity” who worked at the infamous Plame-Wilson CIA of Langley, Virginia. “Facing a firestorm from Democrats” sounds like old news to me.

“I respect the jury’s verdict. But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive,” Mr. Bush said in a written statement yesterday afternoon. “Therefore, I am commuting the portion of Mr. Libby’s sentence that required him to spend thirty months in prison.”
The president issued the commutation just hours after a federal appeals court panel unanimously rejected Libby’s bid to remain free while he appealed his convictions for obstruction of justice, false statements, and perjury. (The New York Sun)

So those Democrats who are condemning President Bush’s using his presidential power are in fact condemning the United States Constitution which gave that power to the president. Article II, Section 2 reads “The President … shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.” Did those very same Democrats condemn Bill Clinton when he pardoned his own brother and an international crook, Mark Rich? NO! And truth be known, those Dems would not have even condemned Bill Clinton if he had had the courage to shred the Constitution and pardon his own impeachment.

Scooter Libby is a scapegoat for a crime that was never committed. However, politically someone was required to be convicted to justify the millions of taxpayers’s dollars that were spent to fund the years of investigation of Patrick Fitzgerald to try and find who committed the crime that didn’t happen - the outing of a covert CIA agent who was not covert.

This example of judicial injustice and prosecutorial misbehavior is why the right to pardon was permitted to the President. President Bush can show his true stripes by pardoning his faithful public servant. Or will the President be intimidated by those who already hate him beyond belief, and not do the right thing? Bill Clinton used his presidental pardons on the likes of Mark Rich. Scooter Libby is a saint in comparison to Mark Rich.

How clever of the CIA to divert America’s attention from its own real failing to keep citizens safe from Islamic terrorists, by fomenting the scandal created by the Plame-Wilsons.

“The Plame-Wilsons and Jacques Chirac, and A Shadowy Agency Amok, and Joseph Wilson, Truth-Teller?, and Ambassador of Whoppers tell the tales of the renegade C.I.A. that was so preoccupied with plotting against its own government, that it had neither time, resources nor ambition to find the intelligence that could have saved us from September 11th and the previous attacks upon America.” Our CIA Has Done US Wrong! ~~Kerfuffles.

Hello Ambassador Do-Gooder!
Now that the “Ideal UN Ambassador” has quit, not to mention the long-suffering Secretary of Defense, who do the Dems have left to kick around? Must they revert to that tired mantra of “Cheney - Halliburton”?

The controversial to Democrats, yet ‘ideal’ to Americans, US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton announced that he is quitting his post in the next few days. Whoaa .. Neddy!

Democrats who now control both houses of the legislature have objected to his combative approach at the UN. They want Ambassador Goody Two Shoes instead; someone who will play nice with the rest of the world instead of storming in and breaking their beloved toys.

President George W Bush, who has been on a roll lately, a downhill egg-roll, said he was “deeply disappointed that a handful” of senators were blocking Mr Bolton’s confirmation. Ambassador Bolton had actually been performing well for the United States, and his departure would disrupt the diplomatic work of the U.S. at a sensitive time, the president said.

However, what’s good for the United States carries little import to Democrats when it comes to “pay back time.” And besides, everyone knows that Mr. Bolton would most certainly oppose opening dialogs with the outlaw nations of Iran and Syria, and that is what is wafting in the prevailing winds these days.

The president had appointed ambassador Bolton in the first place because he knew that Bolton represented American values and would not shrink from tackling desperately needed UN reforms. Bolton, described as a bright, hard-working realist, was able during his short stint at the U.N. to assemble coalitions addressing North Korea’s nuclear activity, Iran’s uranium enrichment and reprocessing work, and the horrific violence in Darfur. Bolton viewed the UN as wasteful, ineffective, and at odds with America’s global interests.

Now that Democrats are in control, our egg-rolling President must now find an Ambassador who can “just get along” with everyone. How does Ambassador ‘Bill of Chappaqua’ sound? He lives right next door and is best buds with the President’s father, the Ambassador of Ambassadors.

Controversial US envoy quits post

Israel is warning Beirut: “Nothing In Lebanon Is Safe … Beirut Could Be Next”

How did this crisis escalate so far so quickly? The Mainstream News Media (aka MSM) is reporting that their Middle East analysts are pointing fingers at George W. Bush, saying that it was probably his administration that convinced Hezbollah to open a second front against Israel. Knowing that the Israeli government would not stand by meekly as their very existence as a nation was being threatened, Mr. Bush decided that the time could not be better than to divert attention from his own war-mongering woes, for Israel to start its own bombing campaign in the region.

The MSM analysts are saying that Israel grossly overreacted to the capture of a few of their soldiers. After all, in such a small country as Israel is, soldiers are going to lose their way from time to time, and stray from the primrose path and find themselves at the gates of Hell, also known as Gaza. With distances deceptively short between Beirut and Tel Aviv (only 130 miles), the MSM analysts are cautioning the Israelis that, in the immortal words of Rodney King, they are just going to have to learn to “all get along.” (MSM )

Kerfuffles spent the morning at the White House, photoblogging the Welcoming Ceremony for Prime Minister John Howard of Australia. It was nice to hear comments from the White House staff about how gracious and down to earth are the Bushes.
