As rumored for years, yes, cheerful war criminal Donald Rumsfeld was pushing Bush for “regime change” in Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Lebanon:

Here we go again:
Eight years after the debacle of “hanging chads,” Florida once again seems to be courting electoral trouble. A handful of laws have been passed since the 2000 presidential recount, with state officials saying they bring order to a chaotic system.
“Some say we err on the side of caution,” said Joe Pickens, a […]

Reform for thee but not for me:
Given Senator John McCain’s signature stance on campaign finance reform, it was not surprising that he backed legislation last year requiring presidential candidates to pay the actual cost of flying on corporate jets. The law, which requires campaigns to pay charter rates when using such jets rather than cheaper […]

Rush Limbaugh:
“We do, hopefully, the right thing for the sake of this country. We’re the only one in charge of our affairs. We don’t farm out our defense if we elect Democrats … and riots in Denver, at the Democratic Convention will see to it we don’t elect Democrats. And that’s the best damn thing […]

I’ve been writing for a long time about how the Bush administration has made a lot of seemingly inconsistent moves that really have one ultimate purpose - namely, CYA for their commission of war crimes.
Now you know.

One would hope Congress has learned the lesson of this market crash - namely, that when you let the market run rampant, it’s a disaster. Of course, the market enablers will fight it every step of the way:

Hmm. Bob Novak says GOP sleazebag and dirty trickster Roger Stone told right-wing talk show host Michael Smerconish months ago that Eliot Spitzer wouldn’t finish his term.
In an interview last week, Stone cheered the governor’s demise, and hinted further that he’d known about the governor’s fall.
“I didn’t make him go to a prostitution ring,” Stone […]

It continues because no one’s ever really said no:

If this Congress hadn’t been so patient with them, they could have stopped a lot of the abuses:

It has been well-known that Speaker Nancy Pelosi has insisted that there will be no impeachment of President Bush during her term. Activists, however, have reported that John Conyers may be considering confronting Pelosi and starting such proceedings after a meeting in his office. They have started a campaign to show Conyers that he […]
