Patti Davis slam-dunks Bu$h on ANWR! (MSNBC/Newsweek)

[DemoTex]

Another Reagan kid has excoriated Bu$h. This is strong stuff for the MSM. Go Patti! You go girl!

Dirty Footprints
Patti Davis

We have an administration in Washington that cares nothing for this planet, for beauty, for pristine places, for innocent animals with soft brown eyes. Everything is a war to this president, and he is determined to win. (Snip)

I don’t believe this is even about oil; after all, we won’t see any of it for another decade. This is about another victory for the Bush administration. This is about Bush leaving his footprint on yet another corner of the earth and then walking away and not looking back at the damage he has left behind. (Snip)

It’s how he has lived his life—failing to acknowledge the consequences of his actions. From 1979 to 1990, when he was in the Texas oil industry, investors lost millions of dollars after three of his companies went bankrupt—but Bush walked away with a profit and has never even commented on his sloppy business sense. His military record has never been adequately explained. CBS took the hit for shoddy journalism when it raised questions about his Air National Guard service, but Bush continues to deflect inquiries about the real issues. Nor has he ever owned up to the false information about WMDs in Iraq; meanwhile people are dying every day over there. (More)

1. Excellent article. 1.2 million acres will be destroyed.

This is all just pure, plain destruction of the planet. 100% evil! All so suburban sprawl can continue, unabated and unaffected.

[TrustingDog]

10. 1.2 mill? o my gawd!

I didn't realise it was sooooo broad a chunk. All this for 6-12 months of oil? I cannot Believe This Shit.

Patty is an awesome communicator, so is her brother. I have the utmost respect for them.

[tsuki]

2. You go girl.

[LiberalEsto]

3. Jenna and Barb wouldn't even be capable

of writing something of this scope -- even if they defended their old man.

Nice job, Patti

[rodeodance]

4. DeLay said it was about "symbolism" --the winning of the vote ----"This is

about another victory for the Bush administration." (Davis is right on)

[zbdent]

9. Hate to be their English teacher

Bet they burn through Spellcheckers like Sherman through Atlanta . . .

[Leilani]

5. Excellent Article!!!

Recommended for front page reading!

Very poignant account of what has happened.

I know DUers are not high on Ronald Reagan, but I always thought he must have done something right, to raise 2 such caring, outstanding kids.

6. If she keeps this up we should

send her flowers!

But, will she have a job tomorrow??

Thanks Patti!

[CrispyQ]

7. Excellent article!

I'm going to send it to everyone I know.

She really hit the nail on the head summing up the Dim-son.

[DemonFighterLives]

8. Darn good rant

So happy someone like her could write that stuff. I could only add a few things on 9/11 debaucle and raiding the taxpayers funds.

:bounce:

25. Great article!

I love how she talked about Bush's oil companies and what happened with that he's NEVER had to clean up any mess he's ever created and about his military record.

[vireo]

30. Another example

"The family that rented Bush a house in Montgomery, Alabama, during that period told me that Bush did extensive, inexplicable damage to their property, including smashing a chandelier, and that they unsuccessfully billed him twice for the damage--which amounted to approximately $900, a considerable sum in 1972."

26. KICK!!!!!!

Love The Reagan's!!!!

(I can't believe I wrote that!)

[Spiffarino]

27. I can't believe it, either

I spent the entire Reagan presidency being outraged. Yet here I sit 20+ years later WISHING HE WERE PRESIDENT INSTEAD OF BUSH!

For that outrage alone Dubya should be impeached, whipped, and jailed.

[imenja]

28. Patti Davis has always been liberal

That was a basis of her falling out with her parents. No one will find this surprising.

[ebayfool]

29. It's really good! Now, kick Crowley off & let's put Patti on w/her ...

brother. Bet those two could do some serious, tag-team, ass-kicking damage to any repub that sat down on the show!

And - BIG PLUS - I wouldn't have to look at Monica Crowley's smug Coulter/Scarborough wannabe, Faux News mug again!

Did I mention I can't stand Crowley?

[Lisa]

31. Go Patti!

I loved her essay on seeking Bush's forgiveness for the bowling ball that went missing from the WH -- I hope she does a whole book of these, someday.
