Fleischer & Gaffney's 2009 Whitewash Tour

March 13, 2009

*Crude language warning
The propagandist and former Bush II press secretary, Ari Fleischer, still having his way with "liberal" news show hosts, goes on Hardball the night before last and simply makes sh*t up…..

Read that sentence again, you know, [...]

He Stayed Resolute To The End

January 13, 2009

Yesterday Schrub had his final press conference.
He stayed resolute.
Make any mistakes George? Anything, upon reflection, you would have done differently?
"Clearly putting a "Mission Accomplished" on a aircraft carrier was a mistake. It sent the wrong message. We were trying to say something differently, but nevertheless, it conveyed a different message."
Reverend translation…
'Yeah, that banner. [...]

Is There Good Reason For Torture?

December 18, 2008

It has been interesting to listen to the response in the media, whatever little there has been, to the Senate Armed Services Committee report of it's inquiry into the torture inflicted upon detainees in U.S. custody.

7 Years Later

September 11, 2008

March 30, 2008

Even though Bush Doctrine supporters and the usual neo-con loving media mouthpieces continue to insist that George and Dick have kept America safe, conveniently, AFTER 9-11…..reality demonstrates such fabrication as just another lie from the most untruthful groups ever to occupy the White House and place a telepromter reader in a teevee anchor chair.

January 10, 2008
