Bush just came out with this astounding statement in Utah yesterday:

THE LIE:



Holy crap! Can you believe he said that! The fact is, it's too late. He has been politicizing this issue for years.

THE TRUTH:



Then Bush went on to make an even more outrageous statement!

WHAAA!



If Bush is serious, he should start with his own chief poilitical advisor!

THE TURD:

The man is psychologically impaired.

If a politician makes a speech, it is by definition a POLITICAL speech. Otherwise, they're just talking extemporaneously out their as....

Huh, maybe Bush's speeches aren't political after all.

His speeches aren't speeches, just a kind of deranged babbling. Who the hell writes this stuff for him, and what planet are they from ?


And how the hell was he even thought of as a presidential candidate in the first place...???!!!

Are the rest of the Republicans even worse ???

And the Democrats.......? 'cos if Bush won, that means the Dems LOST....against Bush..."Gloops!"

OOPS! Looks like Cheney didn't get the memo about not politicizing the issue.

Cheney Visits Omaha

OMAHA - Vice President Dick Cheney said Tuesday that some Democrats' calls for troop withdrawal in Iraq only serve to embolden terrorists.

“Decisions about troop levels will be driven by conditions on the ground, not by polls or artificial timelines set by politicians in Washington, D.C.,” Cheney said in Omaha during a speech at a Republican fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska.

Cheney said electing Republicans such as Fortenberry and U.S. Senate candidate Pete Ricketts is important to the war on terror.

Fortenberry has become a strong ally to the Bush administration in his two years in the House, Cheney said.

“Jeff Fortenberry recognizes that the first order of business in Washington is to protect the American people and to support the men and women who defend us in time of war,” the vice president said.

Cheney also appeared at Offutt Air Force Base south of Omaha later in the day and thanked the men and women in uniform for their support of U.S. operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. He also promised that the United States would not relent in the war on terror.

“I want you to know as members of the United States military that the American people do not support a policy of retreat or defeat,” Cheney said. “We want to complete the mission. We want it done right, and we want to return with honor.”

Bushco preaches, they don't make speeches, and as always they preach to the choir. These are not risky audiences that might be swayed by his remarks. They are glad handers and zombie like groupies. So what are the points of these forays into a controlled environment audience? If they didn't come out of the Batcave every once in a while, we might think they actuall do live in a Batcave. You know the cave where Dick Shoots his friends in the Face lives.

Uh oh! Somebody forgot to tell Condi not to politicize the issue! They also forgot to tell her that Iraq is not in a civil war!

Secretary of State Rice compared the Iraq war with the American Civil War, telling a magazine that slavery might have lasted longer in this country if the North had decided to end the fight early.
"I'm sure there are people who thought it was a mistake to fight the Civil War to its end and to insist that the emancipation of slaves would hold," Rice said in the new issue of Essence magazine.

"I know there were people who said, 'Why don't we get out of this now, take a peace with the South, but leave the South with slaves?'" Rice said.

Rice also bristled at the notion that the Bush administration's slow response last year in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was because of the race of the majority of the victims.

"I resented the notion that the President of the United States, this President of the United States, would somehow decide to let people suffer because they were black," Rice told the magazine.

"I found that to be the most corrosive and outrageous claim that anybody could have made, and it was wholly and totally irresponsible."

Asked if she felt personally accountable, Rice said, "The government did its best. People aren't perfect, and this response was not perfect. You know, I do foreign policy, I don't run Homeland Security. I don't run FEMA. I do foreign policy." She added, "I did what I could to coordinate the international response."
