My favorite Bushisms

Hey PhatCat, remember what my mother told you, "Never get into a battle of wits with an unarmed person!"
These W followers are like a bunch of blind elephants-They get around only by using their trunks to grab the tail of the one in front and goosestep obediently and blindly in procession.
Buy Johnson and Johnson stock, 'cause the Vaseline supply is gonna be in short supply for a big demand!



GEAUX TIGERS!!

This is why I so seldom respond to you.

BTW, get some new material, already. The bit about J&J and Vaseline wasn't all that funny the first 75 times you posted it.

 

GMan, I guess you learned to count at the GWHB School Of Higher Education. That's only the 2nd time I've used the J&J comment. Maybe you just liked my first post with it so much, you read it 75 times! You reckon?

That's pretty funny coming from a Teamster, I must admit.

 

<The leak now under Justice Department investigation is described by former Ambassador Wilson and critics of President Bush's Iraq policy as a reprehensible effort to silence them. To protect my own integrity and credibility, I would like to stress three points.>



<First, I did not receive a planned leak.>

Several other journalists besides Novak were contacted by the two Bush Administration officials, who encouraged them to report these facts, though Novak was the only one to publish the story directly. An administration official confirmed to the Washington Post that the two officials had contacted at least 6 journalists with the information in an effort to discredit Wilson. Reporters were contacted at Time Magazine and 3 TV networks, including NBC-TV's Andrea Mitchell (who was called after Novak's column appeared.) CNN reports that "sources" confirmed these contacts to them as well. After Novak's column appeared, some of the others discussed the story, including Time Magazine,Long Island Newsday and the Washington Post.


<Second, the CIA never warned me that the disclosure of Wilson's wife working at the agency would endanger her or anybody else.>

Wilson's wife -- and mother of his 3 year old twins -- is a case officer in the CIA's clandestine service, working to uncover information about weapons of mass destruction, and her cover job was energy analyst for a private firm. By publishing her maiden name, which she worked under, Novak not only risked her safety, but has tipped off foreign governments that any of their people who met with her are possibly spies. Novak claims that the CIA "asked me not to use her name, but never indicated it would endanger her or anybody else." (Journalists are exempt from the law against exposing intelligence sources; it only applies to the government leakers.)

<Third, it was not much of a secret.>

For fairly obvious reasons, it is a felony (punished by 10 years in prison) to reveal the identity of an undercover agent. In fact President Bush's father, the first President Bush, said in a 1999 speech that those who expose the names of intelligence sources are "the most insidious of traitors."

And pretty much every reporter in Washington knows who did it -- at least six were contacted by the leakers in the first place, and they have talked to several other reporters (all off the record without naming names of course.) Because reporters don't want to reveal their confidential sources (or get punished by Karl Rove), they will continue to play this game where the White House gets away with saying "if these allegations are true" and the press piously pretends they don't know who leaked. Of course the allegations are true -- the name was printed, wasn't it? Unless you believe that ROBERT NOVAK of all people is lying and falsely identified his allies in the Administration as the source of the leak, it is an open and shut case. Even the impeccably conservative Washington Times agrees on this point.

Now all that remains is for that terrorism fighting scourge Dubya to simply ask the Vice President who leaked the name of a CIA operative intimately involved in protecting our country from terrorist attack to the press. To date he has not done so.

 

This from the same person who cannot back up anything either

 

Back it up and answer the other questions that went with this post? I find it strange that you have never posted a link except to a homepage, but then I remember that you are a film maker and must be practicing your fiction script writing.

Published in July and does not become a big issue until Sep/Oct. Why the delayed outrage? Could it be because Wilson's comments in July about Bush did not have the desired effect so he decided to use another tactic? Who is Wilson supporting in 2004? Who did he support in 2000?

Come on film maker at least make something up?

-Who did he support in 2000?>

Come on, sweetpea, are you suggesting that I take you on to be educated as well as to be raised? Oh, OK, you poor frightened little cuddlebunny, don't be skeered. I'll answer each of your questions in turn as well as raise a few to you of my own. Think of them as homework to begin to develop your atrophied ability to think for yourself and do research on your own behalf. Deal?

<Could it be because Wilson's comments in July about Bush did not have the desired effect so he decided to use another tactic?>

Maybe, but I doubt it. You see, the Bush administration named his wife as a CIA operative to the press to be exposed for all the world to see. I know that if you found yourself in the same situation, you would have simply laughed it off good naturedly and said something intelligent like, "Aw, Dubya, you scamp you." Maybe Wilson is more easily upset than you, I don't know. Maybe he expected that since a federal statute had been broken that some legal action would be initiated. When nothing was done after what seemed to be a reasonable length of time, maybe he just got kinda pissed off. You think?

<Who is Wilson supporting in 2004?>

I can't answer this question with any degree of certainty, but I'm guessin it ain't Bush.

<Who did he support in 2000?>

Once again, how should I know who he voted for in 2000? I don't know whether he is a republican or a democrat. What does that have to do with anything? Someone high up in the Bush administration broke a law punishable by up to 10 years in a federal pen by endangering his wife's life in addition to the highly classified work she does, ostensibly because he told the truth and called Dubya on one of his myriad of lies. What I do know is that Wilson served w/in the GHW Bush administration and received praise for his work from GHW himself.

Now for your questions:

1) Why do you suppose the Bush administration is working so hard to conceal information from those investigating the cause of 9/11?

2) Why have we chosen to invade Iraq rather than focus our military on bringing the actual perpetrators of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 to justice?

 

Re: Uh... You?

"We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.".


I kinda like this one!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

NICELY DONE!

<"We will not waver, we will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and freedom will prevail.">

Outstanding choice. Probably the high point of the Dubya presidency. Amazingly enough he even uncharacteristically pulled it off with garbling a single phrase.

What isn't widely known is that the gifted writer who crafted that speech for his boss, president Bush was a 36-year-old speach writer from St. Louis named Michael Gerson. I say, nice work, Michael!

Unlike legendary leaders such as Winston Churchill, Abe Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Teddy Roosevelt, who wrote their own speeches, Dubya has yet as president to write a speech on his own.
