Iraq And A Hard Place President Bush endorsed General Petraeus' recommendations in a 15-minute primetime address. Because the American people deserve to hear it straight from the horse's ass... In an informal lunch with reporters, President Bush admitted to being outsmarted by the enemy at several stages of the Iraq war. Those stages, according to Bush, are: the beginning, the middle, and the end. This is what's so poignant about Bush: he's just smart enough to have occasional flashes of insight into just how stupid he is.... In other war news: A top Sunni sheik who met with President Bush in Iraq recently was targeted and killed by a bomb. And to try and head off mounting concerns, the White House scrambled to find a videotape of President Bush touching something that didn't turn to shit... Americans need to connect the dots. Our addiction to oil is producing greenhouse gasses that are causing global warming which prevents our troops from leaving Iraq because Bush isn't pulling them out 'til hell freezes over.
Lest We Remember Last week marked the sixth anniversary of 9/11. The White House downplayed the milestone. I guess America is in the final stage of grief, acceptance. I guess we've "let it go"... kind of like President Bush did with Osama bin Laden... Apparently Osama bin Laden's videos did not include any secret signals to Al Qaeda operatives. Mainly, according to Bin Laden, because he was worried that Bill Belichick would steal them.
Bourbon Street Walker A former New Orleans prostitute is claiming that Louisiana Senator Larry Vitter paid her for sex two or three times a week over a five month period. That's a Republican for you: they'll cheat on their wife, but they're monogamous with their hookers. ... She's now going to appear in Hustler magazine. So kudos to Senator Vitter for helping his constituents reach the American Dream.
Humberto Humberto Hurricane Humberto, which sprang up overnight, became the first hurricane in two years to hit the US when it crashed ashore in Texas. And Lou Dobbs is furious. Humberto crashed into Texas and apparently had no insurance.
