Tell A Friend

House Speaker Dennis Hastert, Senate Majority leader Bill Frist, New York Congressman Peter King, Governor George Patacki, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich are but a few of the outraged Republicans. Florida Republican Congressman Mark Foley called Bush politically tone-deaf, saying, “Of all the bills to veto, if he lays down this gauntlet, he'll have 350 members of the House ready to accept that challenge.”

Bush, who wasn't considered important enough by his own administration to even tell him of this, waited for another full week before commenting on this outrage, and when he did, he threatened to veto any legislation to reverse this deal. This from a president who has not once in five years ever exercised his right to veto, thereby contributing immensely to the huge debt this spending-crazy Republican congress has foisted upon the shoulders of our children, and their children. All this so his Halliburton and Enron pals can continue to pursue their goal of an oligarchic government here in America.

It's ironic that a president who has made his political living by ruthlessly and relentlessly scaring the American people over their security, is now having the same technique used against him by election-fearing Republicans, running furiously from his latest mind-numbing performance. Remember the strangely timed “color coded alerts” to distract us every time the corruption of his administration showed its skirts?

A week ago, the Jackson Hole Guide ran a front page headline, “Bush Unaware of Port Pact.” At the time I thought, if you eliminated the last three words of the headline, you
would have described his entire presidency.


On February 25th, Reuters wrote a headline on their UAE story, “What didn't the president know and when didn't he know it?” A friend wrote me that this Reuters lead described the entire Bush term of office in just eleven words, while leaving out the bombast, hypocrisy and incompetence.
