Guest Editorial from Buzzflash.com

Condoleezza Rice has been a part of the entire bumbling Bush “Crusade” and the cover-up over how the Bush Cartel failed to try and prevent 9/11. She is a willing co-conspirator in an administration that is so corrupt that it makes the mob look honest: Because the mob never sent our sons and daughters to be slaughtered in a war that they lied to get us into. Because the mob protects its own, instead of ignoring direct warnings about an impending attack. Because the mob doesn’t tell us how to behave or police us in our bedrooms.

Call me radical, but the mob looks good next to the Bush Cartel. The mob never took a nation in the midst of peace and prosperity and ran it into the ground. But the Bush Cartel did.

The two things that the Bush Cartel does have in common with the mob are a penchant for lying about its actions and punishing anyone that tries to tell the truth. The Bush Cartel knows how to do a political hit job as well as any whacker for the Corleones.

Call me radical, but we don’t need a 9/11 Commission.

Driving

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car, both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself “I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light.”
After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, “Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!”

Mildred turned to her and said, “Oh my! Am I driving?”

New TV Show
(From usnews.com) Team Bush Lends a Hand to a Brand-New TV Show

After getting a wink from President Bush and a full slap on the back by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s antiterrorism office, the producers of a new TV show about federal agents are getting what they always wanted: advice from the Department of Homeland Security.

“They are trying to guide us . . . to educate us so we portray it accurately,” says Alison Heruth-Waterbury, the star of D.H.S., the series, after meeting with DHS bigs last week. “It’s basically just understanding the structure of DHS, which honestly, we were a little bit off before coming here.”

The series, which CBS is considering for the Fall, features DHS agents fighting terrorism all over the world. They’ve filmed at real-life security facilities in California, thanks to the guv. And Washington officials are expected to give free advice and even play cameo roles; Bush and DHS Secretary Tom Ridge are featured in the show’s trailer.

Heruth-Waterbury says that when she recently told Bush about it, “he was just like, ‘Yeah, yeah, it sounds good.’” Some call it The West Wing — Bush style: more butt-kicking, less hand-wringing.
