No President has had a higher approval rating that Bush on the days after September 11th. This was while he was still in hiding and had not even gotten to New York City. Since then, as everyone with a political pulse knows, he has blamed September 11th for every economic, political and social ill that is laid at his doorstep, and blamed Clinton for it. Deceptive speeches, reports and bias have been used to accomplish this.

It is a life long pattern of George Bush: to burn the last straw for having broken the camels back. And whether the public buys it is a key test of where the public mood is. If Bush spikes up, then it means Americans want one last lurch to the right. If not, it is the end of the road for the Age of Nixon. Read More

The Wikipedia article looks like it will survive the vote for deletion. It looks like Richard Cohen was ahead of the curve.

But the real test of a political movement is the willingness to push. Right now DCCC calls the current scandals "Worse than Watergate" and has launched a "Victory Partner" pledge drive. If there are MIPs out there, then this is what they should be doing, because any impeachment must first be investigated by the House, then submitted to the House Judiciary committee, and then voted on by the full house.

The D Triple C as it is called, is camped out just one the other side of the river from calling for impeachment, but "Watergate" is code, and not particularly hard to crack. As with all things in politics, people get the government that they support. Read More

Cooper talked to rove on "Double Super Secret Background" and it was directly tied to the story that he wrote.

Fitzgerald wants to know the contents of that conversation. While Rove is denying that he leaked the name, that isn't important. If Rove was involved in a conspiracy, talking to Cooper is an overt act. All that is required is an agreement to reach an illegal end. The email from Cooper to his publishers says to go to "a CIA source". Did Rove give Cooper that source? If so, then Rove could well be on the hook if he knew what that source was going to say.

It is my belief that Plame was first made as "chickenfeed" - trading of off the record information between reporters and sources - and not for the purpose of vengence, but before, when the White House was trying to establish a "Niger connection" for the "yellowcake" story. Read More

I warn you now, he shall reign as he has risen. The Pope who joined Hilter's military to save his own skin will demand from others conformity to his will. There are times for compromise, and there are honourable enemies. And there are tyrants - who can accept no dissent.

This pope has already interfered in American politcis, and shall do so again. He is the pope of war, and the bringer of death, since he will back the bringers of war and death so long as they support his agenda of enslavement of spirit.

These days are the darkest for faith since the years when the Bishop of Rome turned a blind eye to massacre, pogrom and slaughter. This pope, his hands filled with blood for supporting the butcher of Berlin now turns a blind eye to butchery in Baghdad so long as it advances his aims.

As Dante populated his hell with popes, so would he add this one in some modern canto of the Inferno. Read More
