Nationwide, conservative media pundits appear to be shifting into a frenzied overdrive of late, what with the McCain/Conservative imbroglio reaching new heights of tizzy and Super Tuesday upon us.
Grand Old Pundit Rush Limbaugh is reported to have blown out two shirts worth of buttons with his chest beating, while smarmy little right-wing Eddie Haskell Sean Hannity has allowed his hair to be mussed. Hannity also allowed his counterpart Alan Colmes to actually get a civil word in edgewise.
Media watchers fear Hannity, Limbaugh, and others will reach such a state that they may “over-ignite”, much like a lightbulb right before it burns out – shining particularly bright before dying completely. Many are trying to predict when so they can record the event and use it on You Tube. A Rush implosion could steal all other headlines.
For now, though, they just keep reporting, commenting, and predicting. The latest prognostication: Ron Paul will come out for Giuliani. Not much gets by those guys.
The US Congress today passed a bill holding
automobiles to a higher standard by 2020. Automobiles must, by that date, be
considered 40% more efficient.
Some congressional aides, who wish to remain
anonymous, were quick to point out that they never define “efficient,” and that
the new law will not have any effect on the search for alternatives to fossil
fuels. Indeed, some say there may even be clauses buried in the bill that
discourage any sort of renewable energy, calling it “horseless carriage
thinking.”
“I mean, that steam, solar, geothermal, and wind
technology, … really man,” said congressional staffer E. Ramsey Bolstetl. “That
stuff is linked with the way DaVinci thought. We’re hoping for something a
little more real, and a little more ‘outside the box” like dilithium crystals or
something..”
Most agree that the 13 year window will give
Halliburton and others time to scarf up all the “newer” ways of generating
power, so they can continue the business model they have adhered to since ex-CEO
Dick Cheney came on board. Rolwathel Kindineth, a major stockholder from
Delhi, said “Dick did it right, and we’ll do right by him. Even if we have to
corner all the quartz and tuning fork technology on the planet.”
Information from sources in Washington suggest that
the President gets intelligence reports on the state
of Iraq's nuclear capabilities every two years, and
that he doesn't do anything about them.
Brigadier General Hardis Nailes, assistant associate
sub-director to the deputy for public information at
the Pentagon's Strategic Information Diffusion
Directorate, said Tuesday that the latest information
on Iranian nuclear capability "is informative, while
not really shedding any light on any of the facts."
When asked exactly what that meant, Nailes replied,
"It's up to the interpreters to interpret what the
analysts analyze, and then we information distributors
will distribute information. It's all about which
facts we wish to consider as facts."
The announcement came on the heels of new criticism
over the handling - and meaning - of intelligence
reports, and how the President reacts to them. Mr.
Bush said the new assessment that Iran had no nuclear
weapons underscored the need to intensify
international efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a
nuclear weapon.
Only George W. Bush could make Mahmoud Ahmadinejad look good.
Need anything more to tell you the US economy is down
the pooper?
Rappers, led by internationally
recognized economist Jay Z, are now requesting to be
paid in Euros, rather than US Dollars.
You can't really blame them. The euro bought an
all-time record $1.4752 on Friday, and the British
pound also has been trading at its highest levels
against the dollar since the early 1980s. The Canadian
dollar, often called the "Loonie," reached parity with
the dollar in September for the first time since 1976,
and has climbed steadily since. The euro bought
$1.4655 yesterday, while the Loonie bought $1.0373.
With the Euro you can get almost half-again more
bling, blow, and ho's. Plus, name one international
drug figure that has been busted for laundering his
Euros.
Of course, President Bush and VP Cheney are probably
paid in gold, right into their Swiss accounts, but
watch them withdraw it in Euros. If they ever do.
The lesson here? Buy American, but spend Euros.
The latest pronunciation comes just months after
McClellan was regarded as 100% honest as White House Press Secretary. White
House Spokesperson Dana Perino informed the White House Press corps that
McClellan was now persona non grata Friday in a prepared statement.
Members of the White House press corps were especially silent following the
release, presumably because it was the day after Thanksgiving, and news outlets
had their hands full reporting on sales beginning at 5 a.m., and recipes for
leftover turkey.
“We’re not going to touch that,” said a reporter
from the press pool that asked not to be identified. “If we report that in
depth, then we will have to report how we haven’t asked hard questions about the
other lies coming out of the White House. Some of us still want to ask what’s
up with the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner. Even more want to ask about the
weapons of mass destruction and Colin Powell’s speech at the UN. “
There seems to be a consensus among the press that
perhaps they could have done a beer job. None have stepped forward to begin
doing so, however.
Vice President Dick Cheney took time out of his busy Sunday to “honor” US Veterans at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery outside of Washington D. C.. In a 10-minute speech, Cheney said soldiers from World War I to "the current fight against terrorism" have served their country valiantly and "kept us free at the land we call home."
"Free to live as we see fit, free to work, worship, speak our minds, to choose our own leaders," the vice president said. "May the rest of us never take them for granted."
As a Vietnam Veteran, I know this is pure bullshit. Now we are having craven, unprincipled cowards commemorate the efforts and sacrifices of those who have served, and are serving, in the U.S. military. Cheney and his posse are some of the most repulsive hypocrites around, and veterans would be better served if the all retired to a private Island off of Saudi Arabia to roll around in their blood money until they die and go away.
Jarvis Heddon, Republican alderman from Escondido,
California, suggested that all "good Americans" should
be happy to sacrifice their homes in the states latest
wildfire crisis. Mr. Heddon suggested that since
National Guard and Marine Reserves are tied up in the
Middle East, and none of their equipment ever comes
back from the Middle East for present personnel to
train with, perhaps this is the best way for the
predominantly Republican area to "get behind the
President and his fight for global supremacy." Mr.
Heddon then corrected himself, pointing out he
intended to say, "global war on terrorism."
Not all Mr. Heddons constituents are so quick to give
up their homes, however. Tarvis Jenway, of San Diego
stated he "directly blames the Bush White House for
the spread of the present conflagration." Jenway
added, " If we had a national guard to support our
firefighters, there wouldn't be half the conflagration
we got now."
The President is expected to tour the devastated areas
Wednesday. Many Orange County residents are looking
forward to the visit. The area claims to be the "thru
anchor of the remaining 24% of Americans that still
support the President." Others call the entire
catastrophe "karma."
Valerie Plame, wife of ex-ambassador Joseph Wilson
and one time CIA operative, claimed on Monday that CBS spunky reporter Katie
Couric “could be an intelligence operative.”
Following Couric’s interview with Ms. Plame on
CBS’s 60 Minutes program, Plame pointed out that Couric seems to have all the
skills and talents needed for undercover intelligence work.
“Nobody takes her seriously, she’s good looking,
and she speaks in the most gosh-awful riddles,” said Plame, “she could be my
replacement.”
Couric had seasoned the interview with revelations
such as Scooter Libby’s wife is not a CIA operative (which Plame disputed.)
Plame noted on her 60 Minutes interview that she
was an operative for many years, until the Bush administration intentionally
leaked her identity in retaliation for her husband’s repudiation of some of the
administration’s reasons for going to war with Iraq. Public reaction to the
interview has been mixed. Conservatives consider it a hatchet job on the Bush
administration, while many college age males have phoned in requests for photos
of Plame in her New Mexico office wearing jeans and sweater. Trevor Wadsworth
of Columbus, Ohio, wrote in stating that “Valerie is hotter than Mrs.
Robinson!,” in a reference to the 1960’s movie “The Graduate.
Newcomer Fred Thompson was named the best in last
night’s Republican “Foghorn Leghorn sound-alike
contest.” The Tennessee Republican finished well
ahead of the other contenders in the nationally
televised contest, with Massachusetts Mitt Romney
receiving honorable mention for his new haircut, and
Duncan Hunter given a nod for his hawkish views.
Thompson also garnered praise from the judges for his
striking resemblance to a Little Abner character, the
corrupt, conspiratorial blowhard Senator Jack S.
Phogbound. The judging committee decided an award for
that may be a little bit too much like art imitating
life, and discouraged any supplemental award for
Thompson, however.
“I am happier than a pig in poop,” Thompson remarked
after the announcement. He then pointed out this was
not his first foray into entertainment. He said he
has been attempting for some time to bring out his
imitations of a one-role actor, another involving
an incredibly lazy politician with a gold-digging
trophy wife.
The New York Times reports today that congressional Democrats are ready
to expand the government's legal wiretap program.
"Although willing to oppose the White House on the Iraq war, they remain
nervous that they will be called soft on terrorism if they insist on
strict curbs on gathering intelligence." A Democratic bill to be
proposed on Tuesday in the House would maintain for several years the
type of broad, blanket authority for N.S.A. eavesdropping that the
administration secured in August for six months," reported Eric
Lichtblau and Carl Hulse in Tuesday's NYT.
Experts cite the fact that Democrats are fearful they may be perceived
as weak on terrorism, as the motivation for their willingness to toss
basic citizens rights.
Many rank and file voters in the Midwest are asking, "If the Republicans
stand for greed, heartlessness, and their very own brand of chickenhawk
hypocrisy, then what exactly do the Democrats stand for?" Apparently
they stand for submission, empty threats, and a certain
conscience-bothering dicklessness that seems to appeal to people who
speak in talking points.
The dynamism of American politics remains both puzzling and nauseating.
Anybody been following the “Obama flag lapel pin”
controversy? It’s the one that replaced the “What is
Hillary up to with her cackle?” kerfluffle.
It seems Barack Obama has eschewed the venerable
American flag lapel pin, vowing he would rather let
his words and deeds demonstrate what a patriotic
American he is, rather than a two-cent chunk of
recycled soda can with a fresh paint job. He added
that the pin seems to have become a substitute for
true patriotism.
And the media firestorm is, naturally, intense.
Pundits speculate as to Mr. Obama’s REAL motives. What
are they? How subversive are they? How do they harm
our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan? Might they prompt
Jenna Bush to write another book?
The story is already nudging Brittney Spears off some
News Channels, and it appears FOX is forming a task
force of anti-traitor investigative reporters to
unveil the sordid true story.
Maybe Mr. Obama simply doesn’t want to be associated
with Archie Bunker, Richard Nixon, and myriad other
faux-patriotic hypocrites, convicted felons, and
assorted dumbshits that have made the little doodad
such a travesty.
Let’s see how good a set of legs this particularly
worthless non-stories has. I’ll bet Hannity,,
O’Reilly, Tucker, and that particularly sleazy John
Gibson will all prematurely ejaculate over this one.
Ollie, too.
You saw a lot of Erik Prince on TV the last couple of days, spending considerable time calmly fending off inquiries from agitated Democratic congressmen about his security company's suddenly controversial activities in Iraq. One explanation may be that Prince, the head of Blackwater, U.S.A., has a lengthy political pedigree as a Republican.
Members of the House Oversight Committee, which is chaired by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Beverly Hills), accused Blackwater employees of being "cowboys" who acted recklessly during their contracted security duties for the State Department in Iraq. It also came out that Blackwater, which has lost some three dozen employees in Iraq hostilities, has a 100 percent success rate in protecting VIPs under its contract.
This may shock some, but it also turns out that the target of the committee's angry questions was a 38-year-old former Navy SEAL who has donated $230,000 to federal campaigns and causes in the last decade. Almost all of that money has gone to Republicans, according to a check of Federal Election Commission records by The Times' campaign finance expert, Dan Morain.
Prince's latest donation was in July, when he gave $20,000 to the National Republican Congressional Committee. California recipients of Prince?s $1,000 checks include Reps. Jerry Lewis and Duncan Hunter, a current GOP presidential candidate, and former Rep. Richard Pombo.
The former serviceman has given almost all of his donations to Republicans. There was, however, an exception in 2006, when he donated $5,000 to the Green Party of Lucerne County, Pa.
That was a Republican ploy to ensure the Green Party's U.S. Senate candidate got on the ballot in an effort to peel votes away from Democrat Bob Casey and help Republican Rick Santorum. The effort failed and Casey won.
So far, Prince has stayed out of presidential campaign donations. However, his family members have given to former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Prince's lineage includes his late father, Edgar, who owned a large auto parts company in Michigan and was a major donor and advisor to Christian conservative Gary Bauer, a past GOP presidential candidate.
Prince?s mother, Elsa Prince, has donated $140,000 to federal Republican causes and candidates in the last decade. His sister, Betsy, is a former chair of the Michigan Republican Party who has given at least $61,000 to Republican campaigns on the federal level since 1997.
Betsy?s husband is Richard DeVos, who hails from the family that founded Amway. He ran unsuccessfully for Michigan governor in 2006. The Republican stalwart has given more than $2 million to federal causes and candidates in the last 10 years, FEC records show.
Have you heard the US is too slow in providing the Iraqi police small arms, so Iraq is buying $100 million worth of small arms from China? This is on top of the Iraqis being unable to account for 190,000 weapons the US has already provided. And they are probably buying them with our money! The real kick in the pants regarding this whole thing is that ALL of the weapons, or at least most of them, are probably going to "insurgents. That's right, the guys (and gals) that are killing our soldiers. And, it's day 1,618 after some idiot in a flight suit announced, "Mission Accomplished!"
Colorado State University, In Fort Collins September 21, David McSwane, the editor-in-chief of The Rocky Mountain Collegian, might lose his job for printing “F**K Bush” on the Collegian’s opinion page last week.
So this week’s nominee for the Joseph Goebbels in journalism goes to the student body at Col. State, which expressed a majority feeling that while they felt McSwane's right to free speech should be protected, many of them felt as though he misused it.
Imagine that happening 30 years ago. In a university. So the final nail in the coffin of freedom is being hammered in by some sort of righteous indignation about something that, well … let’s just say McSwane wasn’t the first person to think or say that particular little expletive regarding our president.
I guess we should expect that from a generation that has been told to shut up, get good grades, Dad will fix everything, and if you need money, use your Visa.
Last weeks reference to Country Joe and the Fish in this very blog seems to have more relevance than anybody could have predicted. Country Joe went to the same school as Mario Savio. And the “Fish Cheer” was a direct result of Mario Savio’s Free Speech Movement. Mario’s dead now. He’d weep if he were alive. Or maybe he'd just climb back up on the Sproul Hall steps and yell "F**k Bush!"
Responding to inquiries regarding the President’s activities at the UN, White House Press Secretary announced Tuesday morning "The speech is about liberation and how liberation from poverty, disease, hunger, tyranny and oppression and ignorance can lift people up out of poverty and despair. The U.N.'s core mission is in line with that and that's what we should all be working toward."
The key points of the President’s speech were the way we have taken a country with an operating government and functioning infrastructure and turned it into one of the most backward nations in the Middle East, if not the world.
Bush is also expected to address the UN Climate summit and assure those gathered that the US has absolutely no intentions of doing anything to address growing concerns regarding the environment.
Bush has been know to revere the United Nations, and points out how well his encounter with the august body went before the US invaded Iraq.
"As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know." - Donald Rumsfeld
When asked by Senator John Warner (R-Va) if the US is safer because of its presence in Iraq, General David Petraeus answered “I don’t know.” The following day, he recanted that testimony and said we were. President George W. Bush is expected to say we can begin reducing troops in Iraq because he now knows the surge is working. Six months ago he said that we need the surge because he knew present troop levels weren’t getting the job done. So he knew what was best then; but now he knows better. At least so far as we know.
So it appears the spirit of Donald Rumsfeld still permeates the Pentagon and the White House. And polls show President Bush is enjoying his own “surge” of in popularity. Some analysts are calling it a “sympathy surge” since the president has been taking some lumps lately.
Is anyone else confused about General David Petraeus’ Monday report ?He brought lots of graphs and statistics, which TV guys love.They didn’t illustrate much to me, though, and the graphs could have been of the stock market or Dick Cheney’s blood pressure, for all I know.
I wonder what they would look like if he included people that were shot in the front of the head. He said those weren’t counted because wounds like that don’t occur in ethno-sectarian violence.And, I guess ethno-sectarian violence isn’t Civil War. I wonder if the people in Lebanon heard that one.
He did say that the different factions all want to fight against El Queda. So, if they are all doing that, why do we need to be there?
And Brit Hume said that El Queda was there when we got there, and is still there.So who have we been fighting?
And exactly what is our mission?And how close are we to accomplishing that mission?Oh, excuse me, we did that in 2003.
I guess I’m not confused after all. Just disappointed.
It looks like Osama Bin Laden has signed up with sports greats Keith Hernandez and Walt Frazier. The perennial 9/11 El Qaeda news release shows Bin Laden has taken to darkening his hair and beard.
Could El Qaeda be desperate for funding? Or maybe Osama just feels the need to attract girls. Living in a cave outside of Islamabad can’t be that sexually fulfilling. And it really doesn’t matter how many wives you have if none of them will go camping with you.
Combe Incorporated, the manufacturers of Just for Men hair coloring won’t cop to signing Bin Laden as the latest star of the products most recent batch of testimonial ads for the male hair coloring. Advertising experts speculate that the use of sports figures and quasi-celebrities famous for their prowess with the ladies could not hold a candle to having a guy with 20-30 wives and always armed extol the virtues of Just for Men.
Madison Avenue execs are chuckling about the irony of an enemy of the American people has succumbed to the same pressures as aging American men. Some are even expecting Bin Laden to come out with his own line of male grooming products.
"Quite a coup for a man that hasn’t shaved in 15 years, and rarely even gets a trim from the barber" pointed out Basil Chinstone, CEO of CB & D Advertising Specialists, one of Madison Avenue’s most formidable marketing teams.
Amid rumors that President Bush "really likes that kind of talk" the Bush White House announced Sunday a new phase of the so-called “Iraq Surge” operation. The White House appears to believe the new measures will increase the likelihood of possible victory in its endeavors in that war-torn country.Newly ordained Press Secretary Dana Perino informed a skeleton White House Press corps over the Labor Day weekend the administration is preparing to reveal a new set of artificial benchmarks, macho catch phrases, and tough-sounding codenames to its operations in an attempt to redeem what little credibility they have left regarding the Bush administration’s endeavors to salvage the situation in the Middle East.
Ms. Perino pointed out that code names in the past such as Calypso Wind, Optic Windmill, Platypus Moon, and the delightful Zodiac Beauchamp are now passé. “We’re going with ideas that have some balls,” Ms. Perino said without as much as a blush. She also hinted they would now be along the lines of “Diamond Cutter" and "Buck Hard-on.” Ms. Perino denied that these codenames are an attempt to squelche any accusations that the administration is losing its potency.
Ms. Perino also chuckled when it was pointed out that VP Dick Cheney was refused Cialis by his physician because “If there is any heart left in there it could kill him.”
In a follow up, the White House also announced they are adjusting their benchmarks to show greater success. “It used to be we didn’t announce any deaths if they occur post-injury in a hospital stateside or en route,” Ms. Perino declared, “from now on we will only count deaths if they are from explosions bigger than roadside bombs.” When pressed for a reason, she would only states “The insurgents have very little artillery.”
Ms. Perino also announced that all pentagon press conferences from now on will be conducted much like the way players are introduced at NBA games. with flashing lights, pyrotechnics, and a heavy reverb on the PA system. “With that, and names like ‘Operation Superbad Muthafukka,’ I don’t see how we can fail."
I just read about a guy who paid $2.6 million for a house full of shit! In New Jersey! The place was auctioned off because the people that lived there couldn’t keep up mortgage, and the bank foreclosed.
Times are getting tougher. Used to be you could get a decent house full of shit for thirty, forty thousand dollars. Of course that was back when my Dad was paying the bills.
The guy that bought the house said he thought it was inhabitable, that he knew people had been living there, because he saw them coming and going.
But, it turned out the people collected abandoned animals. When the guy went in to inspect the place, he found the rooms filled with dog and cat feces, and the 3-car garage floor covered with dead cats and dogs and animal feces.
They say the owners fell on hard times. So Mr. Opportunist put in a bid and got the place. Capitalizing on other’s misfortune, it’s the American way. But sometimes you get a fistful of shit, to boot. I think there is a card game called shit on your neighbor. This guy lost.
Call me naive. Call me sheltered. Call me confused. I suppose it was to be expected. I mean, it came from the most ironic of sources.
I only recently learned Bill O’Reilly is peddling “No Bloviating” T-shirts. That’s like Michael Vick wearing an “I LUV my pit bull” T-shirt.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines bloviate as: to speak or write verbosely and windily. That, along with solipsistic and specious, pretty much define Bill’s entire on-air persona. And possibly his all-round persona.
He must be chuckling to himself believing we actually think he is NOT a windbag, and he won’t allow any windbagging on his program.
There is an opening at the White House for a duplicitous evil genius. I think that would be the ultimate irony and bring the report on Bill O’Reilly full circle in the irony department. Bill having a job with “genius” in the description and a new Bush nickname of "Shitweed."
Marsborough, AL -- Darvin Lundquist, local electrician and town council member, recently sold the floor of his garage for $20,000.
Lundquist, 40, of Marsborough, said he noticed an odd shaped oil stain on his garage floor last week, when he was leaving to go to a volunteer fire department practice burn of a Wiccan church.
“It was the darndest thing,” said Lundquist. “There was a stain on the floor that looked exactly like God looking over President Bush’s shoulder. I could tell it was God, because he was talking to the President. I immediately took some Polaroids to show the guys at the department.”
Lundquist then placed the floor up for auction on e-bay. Friends helped him get the item ready for the auction. It was a son-of-a-gun to get it out of the ground and onto the truck, but with the help of my neighbors and some of the other volunteer firemen we did it!”
The removal of the concrete slab and truck rental ran approximately $30,000, which Lundquist had to pay. His neighbors did not donate anything toward the expense.
“It’s OK with me,” said Lundquist, “I’m just happy that lots of people will get to see it now.” The slab was purchased by the congregation of a local Pentecostal church.
Lundquist said he plans on recouping his expense money by playing the “big” dollar slots at the nearby Choctaw Casino.
Now that the National Weather Service has announced “full on hurricane season,” White House sources say President George W. Bush is “like a kid in a candy store.”
Bush is reported to consider the storm season the equivalent of building sand castles on the beach and then letting the waves wash them away. Sources also say it affords the President an opportunity to become reclusive at his Texas ranch, far from the destruction of both property and lives, where he can “imagine’ that all the destruction is fictional and he doesn’t REALLY have to do anything.
“Besides,” one beltway insider said, “he’s all caught up in Jenna’s wedding plans. They say he’s planning a bachelor party like the ones back in the ‘Bama Air Guard.”
Others report a prayer breakfast is also planned after the bachelor party.
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow confirmed that if Bush isn’t in Crawford, Texas, when a big hurricane hits, it’s likely he will be at Kennebunkport, boating and playing golf. Snow assured reporters that the President is never far from Air Force One, and would be able to “fly over the devastated area two or three days after the all clear is sounded; to show his concern and assess the damage.”
West Dumbass Texas - President George W. Bush announced Tuesday that he is planning a summer vacation trip to his ranch in Crawford, Texas.
“I’m looking forward to getting’ down there, since Cindy Sheehan won’t be around,” said Bush.
Bush said he intends to relax, reprogram his I-Pod, fish for catfish on the property, and “mess around on my tractor.”
Bush has been going to his Texas ranch several times a year since assuming the presidency. He usually clears brush, a mainstay of presidential activity since Ronald Reagan made it popular in the 1980s.“Oh, yeah, I got to clear some brush, “said the smiling president. “I clear it there, so we won’t have to clear it here.” As for sagebrush and mesquite, Bush quipped, “Bring it on!”
The President also squelched rumors that recently resigned Karl Rove would be at the ranch, orchestrating a scenario where Bush drives up to the ranch house door in his brush-clearing clothes, his pickup truck filled with illegal aliens, leaps to the ground, and declares “Mission accomplished!”
“Nah, Karl and I talked about, but we thought it would detract from the grandeur of the occasion,’ said the President.
The White House Press corps expects a Vice Presidential press release soon, denying that VP Dick Cheney ever said invading Iraq would be a bad idea.
Tuesday’s You Tube posting of a video of the then Secretary of Defense warning at the American Enterprise Institute in 1994 of the consequences of a U.S. invasion of Iraq caused a stir in the media because of Cheney’s statements such as, “It's a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq,” and “But for the 146 Americans killed in action, and for their families -- it wasn't a cheap war. And the question for the president, in terms of whether or not we went on to Baghdad, took additional casualties in an effort to get Saddam Hussein, was how many additional dead Americans (during Operation Desert Storm) is Saddam worth?”
Today’s expected denial will be yet another in a great many denials, and subsequent denials put out by the Bush/Cheney team in the past 4 years. A cottage industry has cropped up, with blogsters and comedians combing the internet and other sources for contradictions by members of the administration. The results usually find their way to Comedy Central Cable network, where Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert use them in nightly satire.
Wags in the White House Press Room say they have a pool going as to when Bush, Cheney, or a cabinet secretary will begin denying the denials.
