Bush is so full of it

After a long day of deliberately losing at bingo, standing in long pharmacy lines, going to the library and running a dozen other errands with mom-in-law, I come home......to hear George Bush.

"There is no indication that anybody did anything improper," the president said.

This from the man who told us "Mission Accomplished" years ago.




He is so full of it, he should be dressed like this.




LOL

And on hard-hitting Fox News tonight, are Hannity and Colmes discussing the THREE THOUSAND e-mails released by the White House? Or anything political?

No.

They’re interviewing Tara Conner about the hardships of being beautiful.

In late 2006, Miss USA 2006. Tara Conner became the center of a public scandal when news reports claim she had been drinking underage, tested positive for the use of cocaine, and kissed Miss Teen USA Katie Blair in public, among other things. She was allowed to retain her title and entered a drug rehabilitation program.

They have to, ‘cause Anna Nicole’s still dead. (This joke is only meaningful to those old enough to remember Chevy Chase’s SNL Weekend Update reports that Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead)


Gawd, I need a drink.

Anti War Rally

ARLINGTON, Virginia (Reuters) - Thousands of anti-war demonstrators, some carrying yellow and black signs reading "U.S. out of Iraq now!" marched on the Pentagon on Saturday, one of several protests worldwide to mark four years of war.

The march, on a cold, cloudy and windy St. Patrick's Day, comes just before the fourth anniversary of the start of the Iraq war on Tuesday and 40 years after a similar protest at the Pentagon over the Vietnam War.

On a stage in the Pentagon parking lot, speaker after speaker demanded the end of the war in Iraq and some called for President George W. Bush's impeachment. A flag-draped coffin was displayed near the stage bearing a picture of a young soldier killed in Iraq.

Ann Coulter Strikes Again

The big-mouthed blonde has struck again. She called presidential candidate John Edwards, a faggot.

Coulter made the offending utterance last Friday at a major gathering of conservatives, where she shared the stage with several Republican candidates for president.

During her speech, a series of jokes about Democrats, Coulter said, "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out that you have to go into rehab if you use the word 'faggot.' So ... I can't really talk about Edwards."

Coulter has defended her use of the term as a "schoolyard taunt."

"The word I used has nothing to do with sexual preference ... and unless you're going to announce here on national TV that John Edwards, married father of many children, is gay, it clearly had nothing to do with that," Coulter said in an interview this week on "Hannity & Colmes."

I don’t hate Ann Coulter. I have a very low opinion of her and think she is a hypocrite, but I don’t hate her. She isn’t worth the effort. And I defend her right to express her opinion. She is an American who is allowed by our Constitution to spew whatever venomous tripe her ugly little heart desires.

Coulter's recent labeling of presidential candidate John Edwards as a "faggot," however, has triggered a huge response, including a campaign initiated by a gay rights group and media watchdog to persuade mainstream media outlets to dump her for good.

At least four newspapers have dropped Coulter's syndicated column, and 40,000 people signed an online petition to Universal Press Syndicate, which distributes her column, demanding that it release her. Three corporations, including Verizon, stopped advertising on Coulter's Web site after she made the comment.

And well they should.

Her explanation is complete hypocrisy. Claiming that it is merely a “schoolyard taunt” is a lie, when her specific reference was to Isaiah Washington ’s use of the word when talking about a fellow cast member of Gray’s Anatomy who is gay. Washington was later sent to “anger management” rehab to smooth over the derogation. But “faggot” and “rehab” were connected to meaning homosexuality, and her “joke” referenced them in this connection. There simply was no other meaning.

For a woman who wrote a scathing book about Democrats called, “Godless” (no I’m not linking to it, are you insane?) Ann is looking pretty un-Christian. Would Jesus use derogatory language to refer to one of God’s children?

I don’t think so.

So I am delighted to see the reaction turning against her rude and “Godless”behavior.

Bob Woodruff Reports

I watched the ABC TV special about Bob Woodruff’s recovery from traumatic brain injury, following the bombing he was in during a news reporting assignment in Iraq.

While his recovery is remarkable, many other aspects of the report are very troubling. He spoke with officials at veterans hospitals who told him they have treated 200,000 veterans who’ve returned from Iraq, yet the government claims that only 20,000 have sustained injuries. I think it is an outrage that our government is lying to us about these numbers, in an attempt to cover up how bad things really are.
