Dubai: Dumbya's undoing?
I don't believe they expected this to go as far as it has. I also don't believe that it's not being allowed to take on a life of it's own--with hacks like Hannity and Rita Cosby fueling the fires. But I am happy that people have seen, for the only time since Katrina, what crooks they are.

P.S. I would bet Dumbya's approval ratings are in the teens right about now. Notice the absence of any reference to ratings as he trots around trying to rid 'Murika of our "oil addiction"?

2. Katrina
is a disgrace to the US, and this administration did not and doesn't care.

Gentrification to NOLA, next will be the "sterile" condos.

3. There are two messages here that the people don't like:
one is that this got sprung on everyone in the Ch*ney secret, non-transparent way. The other is that everyone involved claims they did not know this was going on.

4. This coming to surface in a oddly conservative press world is strange
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 10:12 PM by YOY
I have a feeling that many Pubs will oppose this just so that they can claim they stood up to this unpopular but over powered lame duck president "fer supportin' them thar arabs" all in order to impress Johnny Sixpack...

It just stinks of Rove...this pissing people off and coming to public light and so many other misdeeds going over Johnny's head. Too strange.

6. Strange but damning nevertheless. It can't get better than that.
Whatever goodwill they had is all but lost.

8. I know the old saying about looking into the orifaces of gift horses
but I also know another one about Greeks bearing gifts....and if anyone knows greek style it's the 'Pubs. They've been fucking us up the ass for years.

7. I think the energy thing will be as much of a failure as the social
security undertaking last year.

Bush has not accomplished a damned thing since he's been in office--legally that is.

The story is almost "over". A new story will be invented shortly. Stay tuned.

12. I think this is Bushes Perfect Storm.
The perfect vehicle to point at our presnits hypocrisy.
The perfect example of how money is the reason for the killing, not amorphous evil doers.
The perfect glaringly visible hole for Bush to dig deeper with his now famous inability to admit mistakes.
The perfect vehicle to expose his do or die devotion to his Carlyle buddies (UAE has a lifetime membership) who strive for power for powers sake.

I just hope when you fully fry and disillusion a hard shell freeper that inside you find long repressed anti corporate moxie.
( I am nothing if not ever optimistic. ) :-)
