Perfect Storm brewing?

This has been the most disastrous week of the Bush reign.

1.) Nigergate

2.) Angry troops in Iraq

3.) No real sign of economy on the mend

4.) GOP House chairman physically afraid of a 70+-yr-old Democratic colleague

5.) Dead British scientist who may have spilled beans

6.) Cheney energy task force papers (which hasn't even hit mainstream media yet!)

1. I am waiting for a major news blackout. The excuse will go something
like "Due to the danger of the American people having access to too much truth, we are declaring a news blackout for the security and protection of the nation".

2. For your list...
N. Korea
Mess in Liberia
Iran refining nuclear material
California recall brouhaha

Seems like since Dumbya arrived on the scene, the whole damn world has gotten as insane as he is.

3. Don't forget evidence Saddam still alive and kickin'
CIA Analysis Finds Tape 'Probably' Saddam
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=564&e=2&u=/nm/20030718/ts_nm/iraq_usa_saddam_dc
"A CIA analysis has determined that an audiotape aired on Arab television this week was "probably" the voice of Saddam Hussein and could have been recorded in recent days, a U.S. intelligence official said on Friday." (more)

And where is Smirko McBunnypants during his week of crisis? Off to the ranch!

8. We all got sucked into the bizzaro universe
I'm starting to get a little freaked out about all of this. You realize that the government knows who every DU member is... Knock knock knock, time to go.

16. Nothing to worry about -
The feds have much more to do than to worry about a little old lady like me. Shoot, they can't even keep up with one another.

10. Don't forget 911 report due out next week
Even with huge chunks deleted, it sounds like it could prove very embarrassing for the administration.

12. The Perfect Storm
Of Bush scandals would be if the Cheney papers revealed evidence that the invasion of Iraq was planned far in advance of 9-11, specifically to pay off the GOP's Oil industry backers , particularly Enron and Halliburton, for their help in stealing the 2000 election.

The 2000 theft, the Enron scandal, Cheney'e crooked dealings and a phony war for oil all tied together in one story.

Makes you salivate, doesn't it?

13. I can only hope you are correct and this Administration is caught in the
eye of the storm. They are due. The pendulum has been swinging rightward for a decade and it is time for it to start swinging backing our way. People are getting disgusted all acrosss the nation.
