I want my mommy

I don't know if any of this is true or not. Indeed, after five years of nothing but incessant lies, one after another, how can one even tell anymore what is a lie and what is not. That, perhaps, is the beauty of the Bush/Cheney administration (if you can say they have any beauty). That is, they have lied so persistently and so outrageously one is no longer able to separate the lies from anything else (if there is anything else).

Anyway, according to Buzzflash, Rumsfeld is now taking the position that he never really wanted a war. He just wanted to play around with the military to make it more efficient and more up-to-date. As far as the "war" with Iraq goes, he just did what Bush wanted him to do. Another rat trying to leave the sinking ship.

What might be even more disturbing is that the Washington Times, a conservative magazine, reports that Bush no longer speaks with anyone much other than his mother, his wife, Condi Rice, and Karen Hughes. He apparently feels betrayed by the other senior members of his administration and is so upset he only communicates with his mother and mother surrogates. It is also reported that he might be drinking again. Like I say, I don't have any idea if any of this is true. But even if there is a grain of truth one might conclude that our "war president" is losing it big time.

It has now been revealed by none other than Bob Woodward himself that Valerie Plame's name was leaked to him at least a month before anyone else. He thinks this is unimportant and that little or no damage was done. Bob Woodward has demonstrably been shown to be nothing but a toady for the Bush administration.

Things have now become so bad they are actually laughable. If you can keep from crying. In spite of the unbelievable problems and scandals of the Bush/Cheney bunch the democrats still can't seem to get it together. Why, things are so bad here in one of our local counties, they have had to hire a professional arbitrator. What does this tell you about the future of the democratic party? Well, at least they aren't shooting each other yet.
