Bush Trying To Figure Out How To Invite Volleyball Team To White House

Sure, volleyball is the new gymnastics, so much so that the White House posted a picture of Bush with Olympians Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh in their “News & Policy” section. Chalk it up to August being a slow news month. Still, I can just imagine the old man telling Laura “I think you should [...]

Ministry of Truth = George Bush’s Whitehouse

The Huffington Post pointed out how the White House is doctoring video of Bush’s “Mission Accomplished” speech from May 2003. Visitors to whitehouse.gov now get a video that crops out the mission accomplished sign. How Orwellian will this president get? “The future of evil is in manipulating information.” bush, george bush, george w bush, lies, [...]

George Bush And Cognitive Dissonance: “Evolution Is A Lie” And “Bird Flu Will Evolve To Threaten Humans”

Alpha Liberal reminds me that Bush somehow gets his head around the following: “the jury is still out on evolution” and “the bird flu virus could evolve to a form that can be spread easily from human to human” eh, I’ll take any excuse to point to Michelle Leeds’ photo and bash Bush’s stupidity. bird [...]

Frank Rich on Bush’s Last 1000 Days

Frank Rich’s New York Times op-ed column today was full of the kind of easy one-liners that repressives conservatives usually like to use against honest people progressives. I got it from my friend Joe, but because The New York Times thinks their content is golden, they won’t let me link you to the full-text. Eh, [...]

Bush Joke

I wish I could admit the provenance of the following, but I’ve been sworn to secrecy. Here goes: Donald Rumsfeld is briefing president Bush: “Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed.” “Oh no!” exclaims the president, “that’s terrible!” His staff is stunned at this unprecedented display of emotion, watching as Bush sits, head in hands. Finally, [...]

What does the report confirm? Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman summarize: Some [...]

If I Close My Eyes, Does It Go Away?
Can Bush Censor His Shame Away?

Reuters: FEMA accused of censorship: “It’s impossible for me to imagine how you report a story whose subject is death without allowing the public to see images of the subject of the story,” said Larry Siems of the PEN American Center, an authors’ group that defends free expression.
