A legal, 12-year-old business transaction can be cast as a scandal when news is slow and the media querulous but determined.

This week, President Bush's distant oil-stock sale has been tooled into a shameful icon of big business, at least among those print and broadcast journalists in search of a chink in the White House armor.

This makes me so furious I could absolutely SPIT! These GD journalists won't be happy until they weaken us enough so we get hit again. Don't kid yourself for a minute, that's exactly what they are after. Instead of standing behind the country when we are at risk, these scuzzy bottom feeders are doing everything they can to undermine us and leave us vulnerable to the terrorists.

I swear, if we get hit again, there's going to be a target on the face of every single journalist out there who played these games. The American people won't forget this.

BTW, I'm including FOX in this because, other than Brit Hume, every one of those $%#@$ acted like there was something to that Harkins deal when they knew full well there was absolutely NOTHING.

What is the matter with them? Do they think this is still the 90's and everything is just hunky dory? Have they forgotten 9-11 already? Are they so jaded that they've forgotten that we have men and women in harms way while they're cavorting about business scandals and distracting the administration while they're fighting for our lives?

I don't know about you kattracks, but this makes me sick!

I know you've noticed the lastest MANTRA from the rats, "It is the height of patriotism to dissent, to ask the hard questions, to question where we are going in this war, blah, bu-blah, bu-blah."

Yeah, right! Most of these morons have completely forgotten 9-11. If you questioned them about it they'd tell you it's the emergency police number.

It's obvious they don't care about the military, they haven't even passed the budget, there's every possiblity that our soldiers, out in the middle of nowhere, running down the terrorists, will get a letter from home telling them there was no check deposited in the account. Do the democrats care? Do the "illustrious" fourth estate? Shoot no! It's not as important to them as the election. I swear, these people are lower than dirt!

Your man Bu$h is an oil-sucking, corporate-whoring crook.

Bush, if he would have waited 14 months, could have sold his stock for double what he got when he did sell it.

Oil & gas powers your computer, F#ckhead, next time you want to jump in here, praise your egg-sucking boy, al Goron, the moron who invented the internet.

Swearing may be cool over at DU, but here it is considered passe, useful for idiots like you, but no one else.

As annoying as it is to listen to this dead horse get beaten a FOURTH time, we should be comforted by the obvious desperation being exhibited by liberals.

So the liberal liars have got their smear machine cranked up once again.
One day these creeps will get what's coming to them.

Hmmm... What number in the series of unwarranted, smear attacks on GW is this one now? Ten? Twelve? The left never seems to tire; guess we can't afford to, either.

Judging by the pronounced increase in democRAT disruptors who've been registering here in FR lately to post their obscene rants, it must be getting close to election time.
