Great article - Hey Tommie, want to play poker with Bush anytime soon?

The Dumb-O-Crat circus continues with the leadership clowns calling the shots.

Perfect, just fu**ing perfect.

...Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) especially has to be squirming....

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk...

One thing that really sticks in the craw of these scornful East Coast liberals is that this Texas Cowboy in the White House is a bona fide East Coast aristocrat with impeccable establishment credentials, in both America and Europe.

He knows the East Coast establishment thoroughly and, seeing them for exactly what they are, has rejected its invidious aspects (those most cherished by liberals) in favor of the (vastly richer and more to be respected) American Heartland.

You know that smarts!

George Bush has repudiated East Coast liberals and everything they stand for--and such a vetch, especially one issued by a man who knows them thoroughly--and could so easily be one of them if he so chose--must be bitter indeed.

No wonder they grope so ceasingly--and against all hope--for some means to discredit him--

And to get even!!

Poor wretches! East Coast liberals would be pitiable if they were just not so loathsome.

Cheesy little Tommy belongs in that on-velvet painting of the dogs playing poker.

This is a great article, and there is nothing untruthful in it. However, the author has a major omission: the power of the 'Rat spin machine. Spin is generated by liars like Dashole, McCauliffe, and CarVILE and amplified by their media fellow travelers. In the American politics equation, this factor is a constant whose absolute value must be calculated.

"A Bush trait which is sometimes a virtue and sometimes a vice is his loyalty to people, even when their performance has been sub-par. "

Don't worry much about that, Jack. W is aware of the stakes, and he's not gonna blow it.

"I'm a loving guy, but I've got a job to do."

You know what, the other day I was channel surfing and I flip through one of the news channels and there was a talking head. He said (I may not have it right but it's close), "the Bush plan is good however we won't be able to get to it until after we are done campaigning"

Did anyone see that? His remarks pissed me off and I surfed on, I wish I had looked to see who it was but I was about to get in the shower. Here we are talking about security of the homeland and this elected piss ant in charge of this crap is concerned about campaining. PRIORITIES????

[Savage Beast]

If W remains true to form, Daschle, Lieberman, and the rest of the loathsome Democrat crowd will be stark naked when the game's over, sneaking home in the dark, hiding behind Bushes, and crawling on their bellies like the reptiles that they are.

Maybe this Cowboy will have mercy on them and let 'em keep their underwear.

Or maybe he'll give it to charity. Yeah. I like that better.

Yep. It's time to clean up Dodge.

And strippin' these vermin and running them out of town is a good way to start.

And this guy W--who's as good at cards as he is at gunslinging--is just the Cowboy to do it!

It's gonna be fun watching these bad-guys runnin' bare-ass naked across the dusty planes, trying to hang on to a modicum of dignity!

[Savage Beast]

P.S. My wife has admonished me not to talk about reptiles like that.

"Cowboy" Bush has degrees from both Harvard and Yale - how many other "cowboys" have those kind of liberal credentials? The press never mentions Bush as having degrees from these two elite, liberal, eastern schools.

There was a MSNBC article published soon after Bush's announcement that dealt with the history/timeline of the govt reorginization to deal with terrorism. This article traced it back to Newt, who made the suggestion to Clinton, which prompted the appointment of Hart-Rudman.

The article also pointed out Bush's reluctance for such a reorginization.

This reluctance, along with the hastiness with which the plan came together, leads me to think that Bush realized that he needed to get out in front of Congress so that he could control the details of the reorginization.

[Frumious Bandersnatch]

But I don't think they'll want to play cards with their host while they're there.

If they are smart.  I didn't know they fit that description.

Little Tommi just lost another hand. I wonder if she's broke?
