Filed Under Republican Unamerican Outrage of the Week

On Thursday Rep. Murtha from Pennsylvania called for a Congressional Resolution seeking the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Rep. Murtha was a 37 year combat veteran Marine. Rep. Murtha swerved this country honorably in Vietnam.

On Friday the Republican leadership got a little too cute and asked for debate and a Resolution they offerred demanding the immediate withdrawal of troops. The matter came up for debate and the most junior Representative in the, Jean Schmidt (R) from Ohio (she beat Iraq veteran Paul Hackett in a recent election) and called Rep. Murtha a coward. Watch the video for yourself.


Rep. Schmidt's comments are an abomination. I am so sick of how Bush has destroyed so much of what is great about America. He is the antithesis of a patriot and his actions have only created a situation where people like Rep. Schmidt become "leaders" in this country.

Who cares if there was no WMD?

Lost amid all of the rancor about Bush's argument that Democrats should have known better than to believe Bush about WMD and the need to go to war in Iraq is the implicit admission by Bush that he would have gone to war even if he knew there was no WMD because he believed it was the right thing to do.

In the end, isn't that really what matters - that Bush simply does not possess the judgment and discretion necessary to serve as the Commander in Chief. I mean, even if it is true that Clinton also believed that Iraq had WMD prior to the war, Clinton never asked for authorization to use force to disarm Iraq and he never suggested we put 150,000 soldiers at risk and spend $300 billion to promote democracy or whatever other excuse Bush now has.

preznit is back on the booze

Crooks and liars has video of Preznit's drunken revelry at Kilgore's campaign rally. Preznit is like that obnoxious drunk friend you had in high school that never shuts up and is constantly acting out like a spoiled child. Anyways, watch him grope Laura as she tries to keep him from falling out of Marine 1.

Taylor T5

I won one of these on ebay. It is a Taylor T5 and is a cross between an electric and acoustic guitar. I got one with a Tobacco Sunburst finish. My wife says I am like a little kid now because I can't stop buying new guitars and other toys. I am just happy that I am now at a place in my life where I can afford to spend a few bucks every now and then to buy things that make our lives easier and more interesting. I like to be inspired and creative - playing guitar does that for me.

chimpeachment

It's time to stark thinking seriously about the commencement of impeachment proceedings. The American public is waking from its slumber and is finally discovering what so many progressives have been saying - that Bush is an incompetent leader and a pathological liar.

This is short because I don't know what to write. I lost my password for awhile but somehow remembered it. I got a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite M45-S359. It is badass. My wife is the best because it was her idea to get me this new toy.

DID I DO THIS THE RIGHT WAY?

Neverland

Bush is a spoiled child with a very short attention span. He was told he wanted to invade Iraq, he did it and now that it turns out to be, in his words, "hard work" that forces him to "think about Iraq everyday" he is bored - he just wants to play on his make believe ranch. He really is a lot like Michael Jackson in that he has his very own Neverland Ranch in Crawford, TX.
Bush's problem is much more fundamental than simply not being able to communicate his strategy effectively - it is that there is no strategy to communicate. If Bush were truthful, honest, honorable, dare I say, Christian, he would have owned up to his mistakes long ago. But, Bush is immature and not sure of himself enough to admit error. In that sense, he is like a child who believes that admitting mistakes will make people like you less. Bush is an insecure sycophant who would rather destroy this nation's goodwill than admit error and give us an effective strategy to correct the error and get us the hell out of Iraq.
Oh, but he is too tired and needs a vacation so he can get on with his life. What vanity. And, he has the nerve to talk about honoring those who lost their lives in his war. If he wanted to honor their sacrifice he would be visibly devoting every second of the remainder of his time as POTUS to correcting his mistakes. But, alas, he won't. There is too much brush to clear in Neverland
