In other words: A discussion of The Bush Administration
For those of you who missed it yesterday (I did).
The Top Ten Conservative Idiots, No. 124
Special bonus, this edition is: The Whistle-Ass Edition
1. The Whistle-Ass Administration
Want to hear the misAdministration's latest excuse for the lack of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? I'm warning you: this excuse is so weak that if you asked it to walk ten paces it would say "Screw that, I'm going back to bed." Okay, here goes. Administration officials said last week that they are suddenly concerned that all the bullet-proof, solid-as-a-lump-of-titanium evidence they'd gathered about WMD may have actually been stinking, rotten lies passed on to them by - gasp - Iraqi double agents. That's right, the Administration is now alledging that Saddam Hussein sent out spies to spread false rumors that Iraq was in possession of WMD, thus forcing the United States to tip its hand and invade. I'm sorry, I'm writing this down but it's just making no sense. Saddam Hussein sent spies to convince U.S. intelligence officials that he had WMD when he really didn't, so that we would invade his country, remove him from power, kill his sons, and kill him if we ever got our hands on him? And we were completely fooled by this ruse? I actually can't believe the Administration has sunk this low. It's pathetic. Oh, and by the way, guess where this latest information has come from: believe it or not, "former Iraqi intelligence agents." Boy, all that British intelligence must have really sucked if our government is now relying on the word of people who used to spy for Saddam Hussein to convince America that we were right to invade Iraq. What next?
The Republican Party
Next time you hear a Republican complaining about how Democrats are un-American, ask them this question: why is the Republican party outsourcing its fundraising activity to Asia? That's right, believe it or not, and despite the patriotic God-Bless-America rhetoric the party likes to spew, the GOP is using call centers in Gurgaon and Noida in India to raise funds for the party and for George Whistle-Ass Bush's presidential campaign. "Enthusiastic fund-raisers" in India will now be cold-calling American familes (probably either right around dinner-time or at six o'clock in the morning) using a panhandling process which involves a "high degree of automation in order to limit human intervention." So basically the GOP is employing robots in India to try and scrounge money off of Americans. How patriotic. Seems to me that we have plenty of unemployed people in America right now who could do this job, but then that would probably be too expensive and you can hardly blame the GOP for wanting to look abroad for cheap labor. I mean, duh. Geez, you'd think we wanted them to stimulate the economy or something. Not that most of the unemployed people in America are going to want to do jack shit for George Whistle-Ass Bush anyway, and rightly so. Hey, I have a question: if the Republican Party is leaving America, does that mean they don't love it any more...?

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the
president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is
not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the
American people."
- Teddy Roosevelt
"Government has a final responsibility for the well-being of
its citizenship. If private cooperative endeavor fails to provide work
for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffering
hardship from no fault of their own have a right to call upon the
Government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make
fitting response."
- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions, but laws must and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
- Thomas Jefferson
"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home."
"All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain
degree."
- James Madison
"I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, in human liberty as the source of national action, in the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas. It is, I believe, the faith in our fellow citizens as individuals and as people that lies at the heart of the liberal faith. For liberalism is not so much a party creed or set of fixed platform promises as it is an attitude of mind and heart, a faith in man's ability through the experiences of his reason and judgment to increase for himself and his fellow men the amount of justice and freedom and brotherhood which all human life deserves."
- John F. Kennedy
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
