Iraq's doing fine - and the ghouls who want to celebrate death will dishonor themselves, not Bush. Katrina is the fault of dems in NO, not the Bush Administration, and when Harriet steps aside and someone Republicans can love is put up, it'll be all sunshine.
Michael Yon is indeed a REAL journalist. I love his work, and read it daily for updates.
What crap! "losing irreplaceable aide"... junior high school journalism from very replaceable news sources.
Enough with these obvious hit pieces against our President and our country.
I can't imagine that the president is a happy man these days. Rove is extremely important to him. And wonders of all wonders, the president is a normal human being. He has moods, gets angry and blames other people. He's going through a period of adjustant of his "new normal" (assuming that Rove and Libby are indicted). He's got Laura and as he says "she's no shrinking violet." She'll help him during this painful transition and he'll be fine. He could even come back stronger. God has used this wise and strong man to guide our country thus far. He'll will continue to hold him in the palm of His hand.
it basically said.... nothing.. no examples, no quotes, gee I guess Bush is just sitting at his desk late at night, rubbing his temples, crying and saying to the ghost of Richard Nixon, " what have I done? What can possibly save me? What will my legacy be....??? I really, really, really care what the Washington Post and the New York Daily and the New York Times say when I'm gone."
I just hope we get another guy in that is "an idiot", "born again Christian", "conservative" , and has a "failed legacy".... As I've always said..."Liberals suck"......unless they blow of course...
Good Observation.
Of course, I say that because it is exactly what I've been thinking. Similar in so many ways.
Yeah, but the question is "professional" what?
I count at LEAST 11 "impeccable sources"
Impeccable source #1: his associates say
Impeccable source #2: a political friend of Bush
Impeccable source #3: some junior staffers
Impeccable source #4: said a source with close ties
Impeccable source #5: Presidential advisers and friends
Impeccable source #6: sources say
Impeccable source #7: one Bush insider
Impeccable source #8: associates
Impeccable source #9: a sympathetic official
Impeccable source #10: senior Bush loyalist
Impeccable source #11: another key adviser
He probably shouldn't have burned his base...
While the press was looking the other way, a war was contuiing in Iraq, . I may be totally wrong in this, but the new Iraqi security force is being brought up to speed a lot faster than were thelocal forces in Korea and Vietnam.
A Prediction - Sunday, October 23, 2005...
Official Washington buzzes with the prediction Karl Rove will be indicted this week. Now is a good time to buck the buzz and predict he will not.
Just from reading the verbose news reports one can gather that the chances of an indictment for Rove are minimal. For one, though the press reports that lawyers (unnamed) say he has been told he is in “serious” danger, this loose language is insufficient to conclude indictment is near.
I have yet to see it reported that Rove has been notified that he is a “target” of an investigation by the prosecutor, which according to the Justice Department guidelines is mandatory if he were in “serious” danger. Nor does it appear that he has even been notified that he falls into that far lesser category, namely, “subject” of an investigation. For another thing, the only problem with Rove’s grand jury testimony that we are aware of is that during one of his grand jury appearances he neglected to mention a meeting with a reporter. It is unlikely that this omission could constitute grounds for an indictment. Innocent failure to recall when not asked a specific question is not a crime. When Rove was asked specifically about the meeting he apparently acknowledged it.
Thus my guess is Rove goes free. Karl, take the week off and clean up your garage or head for the beach."
Sounds like DeFrank spent 10 minutes with David Gergen.
He didn't burn his base. His base is with him. A lot of loudmouths who came along for the ride (Kristol and the bow tied sissies come to mind) are making a lot of noise, but his base is with him.
The very picture of a modern day Nixon :-)
I hope that you're right.
The other possibility is that FitzPatrick could uncover the CIA's role in opposing this president during wartime. Somewhere I read that Joe DiGenova thought that was a real possibility. I would like to think that, but I'm not very optimistic. Wouldn't that be a pleasant surprise? I don't know much about FitPatrick, so I don't know if he's capable of doing that or not.
One day at a time.....This, too, shall pass.
Since when is Bill Kristol a Bush loyalist???
Even if this were true, what does President Bush expect? He should be bitter and angry because he has chosen to play "moderate". He's getting hammered from both sides.
Thanks for pointing that out--I would have missed the "strong" similarity, because I never liked Nixon. (I was a lib during his Presidency).
I still like Bush...How can this be???? Maybe for the reasons stated in my tagline.
