he is bending over backwards

And we are getting bent over frontwards, basically assuming “the position.”

Yes, he always was like this. I am a naturalized citizen (96) and I have always been amazed at the quality? of the presidential candidates since 92. I must say the new crop for 2008 does not look any better.

Finally, Meryl Yourish notes the birth of a meme in coverage of today’s bombings around Iraq.

Seems that Meryl Yourish is an extremely perceptive person. I covered this earlier than she did, but no one reads me….

THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all very much for your hospitality. We’ve just had a — wide-ranging discussions on the matter at hand. Like the good folks standing with me, the American people were appalled and outraged at last Tuesday’s attacks. And so were Muslims all across the world. Both Americans and Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens.

These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it’s important for my fellow Americans to understand that.

Blah blah blah. Compromising with the Dems is just the same as making a deal with the terrorists.

Is he shooting for a ~zero~ percent approval rating? Just WTF is going on there in DC, anyway?

I think it’s time to break out the pitchforks – we need to replace the whole stinking lot of ‘em. Staffers, elected officials, bureaucrats, everything.

Even the furniture…

As Teddy Rossevelt said: “Best not to hit an opponent if you can avoid it, but it you must hit, never hit softly.”

Shock ‘n Awe becomes Shuck ‘n Jive.

A fool’s rules of engagement, a dimwit’s understanding of resurgent imperialistic Islam, a moron’s grasp of the sectarian schism within Islam since 650 A.D.

And what the f**k ever happened to Bin Laden?

and giving cash to buy guns to Fatah

I keep seeing this mentioned on righty blogs, however lets just keep in mind that Reagan funded Afghans against the Soviets, Saddam against Iran…..I don’t see how this is that much different? The reality is Iran/Syria are funding Hamas and they will win if some other side doesnt fund Fatah, lesser of evils and fighting our ultimate enemy in Iran is what I think is going on here…

Even still, they have to be able to find one moonbat who would put it up. Combined with the pressure of the Nutroots, and a few GOPer who knew the game being played…

And it will be portrayed in the media as a backlash against the war. Bush got elected partly on the strength of the public disgust with a president diddling around with an intern in the oval office.

An impeachment at this point will only serve as a warning to future presidents that the same fate will befall them if they dare to start a war. Phooey.

aren’t ever going to without a draft

Have there been any studies on this?

Except you’d have to get the Senate to vote for it. You need 60 votes.

Can’t they start it on the House?

Maybe I’m wrong about it; I hope so, but I have a feeling that President Bush would be glad to trade selling out the military and the decent Iraqis if he could get his illegal alien amnesty passed.

Alas, you are probably right that because of 9-11 we didnt notice that Jorge was not really one of us all along.

There was the partnership with Teddy K. on No Child Left Behind; prescription drugs; signing McCain Feingold; never vetoing one of the huge spending increases from Congress;

then it started to get ugly with the base with the Harriet Miers nomination where it became normal for the white house to brand opponents as sexist and bigoted.

And all along, the whole time, Jorge was making noises about amnesty for illegals. But we were too focused on keeping JF Kerry out of the White House to pay much heed.

Alas,now Boosh wants to sell out his entire base and is more interested in kissing Teddy’s and Harry’s buttocks than listening to whoever is left with any guts on the right.

Oy vey in spades, my friend.

Maybe eight years is too long for someone to stand the rigors of office. How about one term, six years long?

Well I think the Republicans should’ve given the nomination to someone else back in 2004. Although it would’ve been an unusual thing, perhaps without precedent, I think allowing Bush to simply have the nomination just cuz he was there was a mistake. Maybe McCain or someone else wouldn’t have done any better, but it’s hard to see how they could have possibly done much worse.
