Extortion or Blackmail?

With a sociopath like cheney, who the hell needs friends? Just a bullet proof vest. Ask the old duffer he shot in the face.

I just have to see the inane smirk on this man’s face and my blood pressure goes through the roof. Think good thoughts… good thoughts.

Awww, poor wittle Georgie… afraid Dickie wouldn’t be your friend anymore. Did he take his ball and go home?

Jesus, I still can’t believe he was president for 8 years.

With friends like that…

What a couple of jackasses, Dubya especially.

Congratulations America, you exhibited rampant stupidity when you elected this POS. From sea to stupid sea.

What is he, a 3 year-old? The man committed TREASON! This is NOT who you want as a “friend”.

Because of this clown,1,423,933.0 people died for Iraq Invasion alone.Now he is worried that VP,Anal Discharge,Cheney will not invite him for a sleep over.

Yes, I went to the Valerie Plame movie and in it were extended excerpts of bush and condosleeza, which generated an intense urge to puke

Translation: “I was afraid Cheney would stop merely pulling my strings and resort to cramming them up my puppet ass.”

Please, if you are anywhere near Dallas Nov 14-16 come join our protest and support the students at the ground breaking of the bush lie bury

This is evidence again that Bush was not by any means a strong president capable of running the whitehouse alone

Its like Laurel and Hardy

“And this was a decision that — a real life decision for the presidency, really.”

What a telling statement. He’s basically saying this was one of the few decisions he actually had to make himself as president. As everybody knows, nearly all of his decisions were made for him either by Cheney, Rove, or God. Peel away the facade and you find a very weak man of little substance.

[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by The Raw Story, Garry J. Wise, KarenR, The Riot Tapes, mike voissem and others. mike voissem said: RT @RawStory: Watch: Bush: I was worried Cheney wouldn't be my friend if he didn't pardon his ex-aide Libby: http://is.gd/gPTfL [...]

Shot in the face and according to recent accounts never apologized to. And also reportedly everyone waited to report the shooting because Cheney was drunk when he shot him.

[...] I was worried Cheney wouldn’t be my friend if I didn’t pardon Scooter [...]

and CHENEY said, ‘I can’t believe you’re going to leave a soldier on the battlefield?’

What in G-ds name would Cheney know about that.He avoided service-how many times-?
I believe one of his comments was “i have more important things to do” something like that.

Tell that to the folks residing in Arlington etc.

Where are the Nuremberg Trials for Bush and Cheney! Where is a reconvening of the 911 Commission, since more information is out that completely blows the Bush/Cheney “theory”? Bush/Cheney took this country toward fascism, destroyed the military by bringing in “paid mercenaries like Blackwater and other international goon squads. The Patriot Act destroyed our consitution, they lied about everything they ever did, which they instantly made classified. This Cstudent from Yale, a cheerleader was delivered the presidency through a coup at the Supreme Court….we will not recover from these warmongers for decades or generations.

Vice Anal President In Discharge (VAPID)

Thanks for that chuckle.

Every choice this moron of an excuse for President ever made, was made for the wrong reasons. His presidency was one of America’s biggest mistakes which we will be paying for dearly for many years

**Good frigging grief! “Soldier on the battlefield.” He treated Libby like a swaddled babe. Fuckwits.

Matt Lauer’s only questions to this man should have been: “Are you going to let me make a citizen’s arrest, or should I call local police and federal authorities so that you can be detained and handed over to the International War Crimes tribunal?”

I recall people voted for Bush because they thought he would be “a buddy” they could talk with in a bar. This article about Bush pardoning Libby so he could remain friends with Cheney shows the limit of executive decision making ability those voters got with Bush.

This interview finally and definitively reveals that Bush is not a fairly good actor playing an idiot puppet, but rather that he really is an idiot puppet. Case closed. The warm welcome he received at the last game of the World Series is a repulsive and thoughtless response from a people and nation in denial; Denial of the immense damage done to America and the world by the Bush/Cheney Régime, denial of the resulting moral, ethical and economic decline, denial of the heinous war crimes done in our name, denial of the developing surveillance police state justified by the phony war on “terrorism” and the 9/11 mythology, and denial of the collapse of the rule of law and basic decency at home.

Why are they promoting this fucking criminal and what he thinks? And the smug son-of-a-bitch doesn’t give a goddamn about what he did to the country. Send him to the Hague.

Maybe if Bush had not had Chaney as ‘friend’ the Country would be in better shape

The man is a child, stuck at the age where his sister died and he wasn’t allowed to grieve. Oh crap, I almost felt sorry for him. Fuck that — he’s a monster.

May I remind you, he was NOT elected. He was appointed ILLEGALLY by the SCOTUS, overstepping their boundaries and taking power they are NOT entitled to. The fact that they said the decision was NEVER to be used as a precedent tells you they KNEW that it was the wrong thing to do.

He was also never elected the second time, either. The head of Diebold said in public that his job was to deliver the presidency to George W bush. He did, and in the state that he SAID that in, too. How anyone can look at those two elections and NOT think they were fraudulent is totally beyond me. Kind of like with Alvin Greene in SC this last time around. You cannot tell me that the primary was honest. When the mail in ballots are 100% backwards from the machine totals, you HAVE to question it. But of course, since this is a republican law (HAVA act), it’s completely impossible to keep ANYONE honest. NO way to audit those machines, NO way to check the software itself, and NO way to prove that the machines are giving you the right answers.

The people aren’t quite as stupid as we all think, but they are without a doubt being led to the edge of the cliff, and they are stupid enough to trust those doing the leading. In that respect, yes, the people are the problem. But the real problem is that the “leaders” are as selfish, corrupt and arrogant as any in history have ever been. There is more money flowing through our system than there has EVER been, and it’s polluting EVERYTHING it’s touching. It will until it is NO LONGER the reason for running for office.

And with the emotional stability of a spoiled 5 year old. The very statement “I was afraid he wouldn’t be my friend” comes straight out of the mouth of a very childish, babyish intellect. W never grew up, and his actions are a perfect example of it. I saw that before he was appointed to the presidency, once he was there it was glaringly obvious to anyone with a basic understanding of human psychology.

Funny thing is that the entire right wing in this country has acted just like this ever since Nixon was driven from office. They HATE the people of this country, and are doing their best to screw all of us they can.

…and Matt when I got that Presidential Daily Briefing in August, “Osama Bin Laden determined to stike inside the United States”, I thought real hard………….”Poppycock, are there anymore bagels.” Not easy Matt, not frickin’ easy…….

Either the man is lying through his teeth or he allowed the Vice-President to dictate what to do about Scooter Libby. If the truth is the former, one must come to the conclusion that the past eight years of Bush’s Office was not run by Bush himself, rather, by Dick Cheney. George W. Bush is a weak man who allowed a psychopath to be the real power in the White House. All because he didn’t want to loose his “friendship” with Cheney. Bush sounded like a high school student who allowed his sentimentality to overcome his sense of reason.

Uh, Bushie…Can we talk? If Cheney had been YOUR friend, do you think he’d have told Libby to lie in the first place? You promised the American people that anyone involved in Plamegate would not serve in your administration; Cheney had such high regard for your promise that he had his chief of staff lie to cover up Cheney’s own involvement.

Bushie, letting the verdict stand was possibly the only good decision you made as president.

Poor poor fellow – he would have done a lot of people a massive favour by being worried about other and more important things….

Just reading these comments makes me sick to my stomach… don’t get me wrong.. I hate Bush and all his good ole boys… all of these comments are so true… makes me want to puke, makes me sad and we can only pray we all get through this mess he dragged us into. :(

Talk ta DiK, george !

====================@

The fact George took Cheneys feelings into consideration is telling. What else did he do or not do to keep his little buddies from having tantrums?

The smirk is something I disliked also. Particularly when he was standing at the presidential lectern and he would throw his right arm across the top of the lectern and lean forward. Then he would smirk his little smirk and pronounce some tidbit of wisdom which the rest us were not privy to or say something that confirmed his testosterone level. I never will forget the time he finally admitted that he had authorized illegal wiretaps after a year of denying it and explaining (as if we were children) that there was a process in place and warrants had to be given before anyone could be wiretapped. He smirked his smirk and (it seems to me) dared us to do anything. He should have been impeached the next day. He broke the law and confessed to doing so. Was there ever a more flagrant crime? Why wasn’t he impeached?

Worried Darth wouldn’t be his friend?

Yeah, more like worried Darth might use the force and seal off his wind pipe with a thought (or maybe even a pretzel):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muaAZE0M3LU

.

What a piece of work the EX-doofus without a clue is. He comes out with “Unca Dick is mah friend, and yew gotta stick bah yore friends”

I would have stuck by the mother fucker! First I would have kicked the son of a bitch down a flight of stairs, and then to cement the friendship I would have removed a fire axe from the wall and removed the cocksuckers pacemaker with just one swing… Thereby cementing the friendship with Herr Dick for eternity…

And you think those repigs are just ordinary homeboys????

Great analogy, Dick. Play make believe soldier to compensate for that “trick knee” that kept you out of Vietnam? Pretend all your goons are soldiers instead of gangster criminals…so anything you do to protect them from paying the price for treason is suddenly okay?

Bullshit…it doesn’t fly. Treason is treason. High treason in wartime is even worse. Cheney…you and Libby and Rove should all be dancing on a gibbet, shitting yourself in your death throes while crows peck out your bulging eyes. Betraying a spy…there is no lower act for someone who calls themselves a conservative…that was the moment I knew once and for all that any claim to principles or ideology was just a sham. No one who possessed either could have countenanced such an act. Burn in hell…you will never be forgiven.

Forget the country, forget the rule of law!! It was/is all about tyranny for the jerk known as Dumbya.
For a war criminal scumbag to walk free and talk trash is a sign that America is just a banana republic. This silly little scumbag man should be in court at the Hague.

“The warm welcome he received at the last game of the World Series is a repulsive and thoughtless response”

I hope that I am not taking this out of context ETNWO, but the thought processes of the Reich Wing Fundie Xtian CooCoo’s out there say once they have accepted JaysBus as their personal goat heard, they no longer smell bad, act bad and everything is forgiven even past the point of liking ones own scrotum in public. Personally, I think we should wall off the Red States and let them drown in their own ignorance and feces…..

MSM ask slapdick this;
1. Who lied about Pat Tillman?
2. Did you actually see the first plane hit on 9/11 as you stated?
3. Who lied about Jessica Lynch?
4. Whose idea was it to out Valerie Plame?
5. Why did you fight a 9/11 commission, then have Kissinger assigned to run it?
6. Why did you testify in secret with Dick on your lap?
7. Why did you lie about the war and how you were against going to war when everyone knows
you wanted to go to war from day1?
8. Why did you lie about your military record?
9. How come votes from Ohio went through republican computers were flipped and the man that did this is dead?
10. How come a gay prostitute (Gannon) was allowed to ask softball questions at your press conferences?
We won’t here any of this but we will here how being president is hard work.

“I was worried that he’d have me ki—er, wouldn’t like me any more if I didn’t help his friend.”

Cheney probably had pictures of him frolicking with Jeff Gannon.

Unfortunately, this country never bothered to become a signatory to the Hague, so sending him there would just be a vacation. But we might get lucky and it will bore him to death.

He sounds like a little boy.

“Yeah, we are friends. I went by to see him…”

“…but they caught me trying to turn his heart pump off so I had to make a run for it.”

I believe you are referring to the law Bush refused to sign knowing before hand he was going to commit acts that would violate the law. Kind of like ignoring warnings of terrorists using airplanes.

When you have as large a brood as George H.W. and Babs, one is always a lot stupider than the rest.

What a fruitcake! A couple days ago his worst moment in his pResidency was when a singer/actor made a comment that Bush didn’t like Black people. Then he was worried that old Dead Eye Dick wouldn’t like him anymore! Yee gods! We were stuck with this walking basket case for 8 long years. That gives me hope that we can survive the next two with the repugnant “NO” machine.
There should be a law against the existence of the Repugnant Party.

I’ll second that motion. Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rice and a bunch more of those thugs should be prosecuted for treason, among other things.

He thinks everyone in the country will accept his little boy act as did his dear old Babs, (momma Bush). Let’s face it, his entire administration spent a lot of their time trying to make that moron look almost respectful.

Psychologically, the common thread that makes him fail at everything he’s tried, is insecurity. Not surprising considering who his father is, but he could never get past it and no doubt consumed him and led to his re-birth. It’s hard to consider someone who becomes the most powerful man in the world to be a failure, but somehow he did it.

I copied an article I saw on Capitol Hill Blue from 2004 titled ‘Bush using drugs to control depression, erratic behavior’. I had a note at the bottom that it was removed on 9-1-04, but I checked today, and it is back in its original spot. Amazing that this was published about Bush at all, while he was president.

By TERESA HAMPTON
Editor, Capitol Hill Blue
Jul 28, 2004, 08:09

President George W. Bush is taking powerful anti-depressant drugs to control his erratic behavior, depression and paranoia, Capitol Hill Blue has learned.

The prescription drugs, administered by Col. Richard J. Tubb, the White House physician, can impair the President’s mental faculties and decrease both his physical capabilities and his ability to respond to a crisis, administration aides admit privately.

“It’s a double-edged sword,” says one aide. “We can’t have him flying off the handle at the slightest provocation but we also need a President who is alert mentally.”

Tubb prescribed the anti-depressants after a clearly-upset Bush stormed off stage on July 8, refusing to answer reporters’ questions about his relationship with indicted Enron executive Kenneth J. Lay.

“Keep those motherfuckers away from me,” he screamed at an aide backstage. “If you can’t, I’ll find someone who can.”

Bush’s mental stability has become the topic of Washington whispers in recent months. Capitol Hill Blue first reported on June 4 about increasing concern among White House aides over the President’s wide mood swings and obscene outbursts.

Although GOP loyalists dismissed the reports an anti-Bush propaganda, the reports were later confirmed by prominent George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a “paranoid megalomaniac” and “an untreated alcoholic” whose “lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad” showcase Bush’s instabilities.

“I was really very unsettled by him and I started watching everything he did and reading what he wrote and watching him on videotape. I felt he was disturbed,” Dr. Frank said. “He fits the profile of a former drinker whose alcoholism has been arrested but not treated.”

Dr. Frank’s conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists, including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and Dr. Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical School.

The doctors also worry about the wisdom of giving powerful anti-depressant drugs to a person with a history of chemical dependency. Bush is an admitted alcoholic, although he never sought treatment in a formal program, and stories about his cocaine use as a younger man haunted his campaigns for Texas governor and his first campaign for President.

“President Bush is an untreated alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies,” Dr. Frank adds.

The White House did not return phone calls seeking comment on this article.

Although the exact drugs Bush takes to control his depression and behavior are not known, White House sources say they are “powerful medications” designed to bring his erratic actions under control. While Col. Tubb regularly releases a synopsis of the President’s annual physical, details of the President’s health and any drugs or treatment he may receive are not public record and are guarded zealously by the secretive cadre of aides that surround the President.

Veteran White House watchers say the ability to control information about Bush’s health, either physical or mental, is similar to Ronald Reagan’s second term when aides managed to conceal the President’s increasing memory lapses that signaled the onslaught of Alzheimer’s Disease.

It also brings back memories of Richard Nixon’s final days when the soon-to-resign President wandered the halls and talked to portraits of former Presidents. The stories didn’t emerge until after Nixon left office.

One long-time GOP political consultant who – for obvious reasons – asked not to be identified said he is advising his Republican Congressional candidates to keep their distance from Bush.

“We have to face the very real possibility that the President of the United States is loony tunes,” he says sadly. “That’s not good for my candidates, it’s not good for the party and it’s certainly not good for the country.”

We didn’t elect him. His smarter brother Jeb stole it for him through the State of Florida, remember?

Yes, all of them!
The imperial hubris of these scumbags will be the demise of America if we do not stop them from attacking Iran. They’re drooling about it right now and just can’t wait another month or years. These are some of the biggest war criminal scumbags to ever walk the planet.

And, then, there is the little matter of his acknowledging that he ordered torture the other day (a war crime) and killing a million or so Iraqis (depends on who’s counting) for bullshit pretexts (weapons of mass destruction).

Battle of the Books!

I added ‘Decision Points’ by Bush & Co. to my Amazon Wish List because it’s full of lies.

I added ‘Family of Secrets; the Bush Dynasty, America’s Invisible Government, and the Hidden History of the Last Fifty Years’ by Russ Baker to my Amazon Wish List because it reveals a hidden history about the Bush family king making money laundering machine.

.

The real question remains unanswered…
… Can George W. Bush even spell TREASON?

.

The aide is Christopher Michel, a 28-year-old former White House speechwriter [and the ghostwriter of decision points] so dont expect much from the loyalist yalie.

Shorter Dubya: Please dont shoot me Dick.

=== popurls.com === popular today…

yeah! this story has entered the popular today section on popurls.com…

I won’t have any War Criminal Friends, …. WHaaaaaaaa!

My god, he’s fucking 5.

Thanks for this. I bought Frank’s book when it first appeared and read it in about two days. It was an eye-opening careful critical psychological analysis of Bush. A must read for those who wanted to just what kind of maniac was running this country. Unfortunately, it and the other books that appeared near the end of Bush’s first term had little impact on the 2004 election.

This story is particularly compelling give Bush’s inability to respond to the crisis in New Orleans after Katrina. It would be nice to think that the American people would pay more attention to the people who they elect to higher office. But the obsession with Obama’s birth certificate and other meaningless tripe are to me only an indication that they only care about surface things, like skin color and could care less about the mental capabilities of those who run this country! Look at all the Tea Party candidates. The people who voted for them signaled that they want someone candidates and representatives who are just as stupid and dysfunctional as they are.

Geez, they’re trying SO hard to rehabilitate him, but it’s hard to rebrand a product as shambolic as Bush.

” “You said he was furious and he said, ‘I can’t believe you’re going to leave a soldier on the battlefield?”
___________________________________________________________________________

Soldier???….Battlefield???? This is the mindset of Darth F’ing Cheney. In his deluded mind, he was decorated 5-star General, and Libby was a guts and glory soldier under his command. And who was the enemy you ask…..why those socialist commie pinko democrats of course. In this particular case..it was that socialist commie pinko covert CIA agent Valerie Plame and her commie husband who dared to question the lies being spread to begin a useless war which eventually killed hundreds of thousands of people. A Darth Cheney kind of war!

my hatred for this man is as strong as ever. that smirk should be made into a horror film

This man is an embarrassment…

Please note, Bush had to go to see Cheney, Cheney did not come to see him.

Anyone who seriously believes Bush was anything but a puppet for Cheney and his corporate overlords is living in FantasyLand.

BS..
Bush even stated that D… well he approved torture (waterboarding)

I cried after reading this. I read it while peeling onions.

I tried to listen to Mr. ASSHOLE but that damn phony Texas accent started to get to my stomach and like I did when he occupied the Oval Office, I had to tune out and turn him off.

What a repulsive excuse for a human being.

Nowadays…All of the Elite feel they are above the law…and perhaps they are. That’s a scary place for a country to be and without doubt, when there is no accountability leaders will run wild.

There are those who are above the law. In the Plame case it is Cheney and Rove also (Novak now dead). Compare this to the Minnesota woman, Jammie Thomas-Rasset, who has been battling the recording industry for four years, and was ordered to pay Capitol Records $62,500 for each of the 24 songs she illegally shared in 2006 with the $250,000 fine to Libby. It’s a bit excessive, which also is in contradiction to the 8th ammendment of the Constitution: …’nor excessive fines imposed’. For the elite who want “Tort Reform” to limit the amount of money the average citizen can sue for to $250,000, this $1.5 million fine is an outright broomstick up the butt of We The People!

George is still stupider than Obama, though not by much.

B….b….b…but, Cheney is almost dead! He literally has no heart. Why does W care at all about what Dick thinks at this point?

HE still got enough votes to make the race close enough for the GOPs to cheat. I rest my case – USA United States of Asininity.

Thanks for the link. Interesting.

Interesting you should bring up Gannon. I’ve been wondering about his whereabouts and what ever happened about that scandal. Has anyone read or heard anything?

(QUOTE)
Bush: I was worried Cheney wouldn’t be my friend if I didn’t pardon Scooter Libby(QUOTE)

Proof positive that his brain is stuck in the 2nd grade.

Raw does not have a “button” for “dislike”. Punched.

I can’t believe Bush was this naive. Really? Critical decision like this made on the basis that he might lose his friendship with the Vice President?

Bush should have been more worried about Darth taking him out via #41 taking out Ronnie

you must be deaf.

Are there no longer any decent Statesmen (male or female) to lead this country? The Bush’s become more of an embarassment to this country everytime GW opens his mouth. And to think this nitwit could have had his finger on the button. This country needs a political enema.

Oh! poor george! He must have been terrified that he would lose his little friend. What the Hell? So far we have found out bush’s worst day in his presidency was when Kanye West called him a racist, not Katrina or the fact that people died because of the lack of response. He isn’t consumed by guilt for lying his country into an unnecessary war. He has no shame about trampling on our Constitution….no no, george just got scared about losing cheney’s friendship! This guy doesn’t even have the brains to understand what he has done to this country and that he owes the world an apology! And he was president of the United States! Wow! It’s a miracle our country is still intact! I can’t believe he didn’t actually start a nuclear war and destroy everything by accident! Please, republicans, why do you still like this guy and defend him?

It’s interesting how the right-wing calls for the execution or imprisonment of the Wikileaks founder for putting people’s lives at risk with the documents they leaked (and the whistleblower is already in prison, probably for life) even though no one has actually been killed by the leaks, and they didn’t out any undercover operatives, yet exposing Valerie Plame directly led to a war based on lies and several of her contacts being assassinated, and yet no one is in prison for it and there are no op-ed’s being written by right-wingers calling for the execution or imprisonment of Karl Rove or Dick Cheney. Hypocritical fuckwads, every last one of them.

I can’t wait to see Fair Game, hopefully it will bring the story out of the shadows and expose the lies a bit more.

What does FIVE DEFERRAL CHENEY know about battlefields?

The record companies are or have gone after 35,000 people who have done the same thing. In the process they have probably spent more on lawyers than they would have made on the recordings. Give me a break. If I was the young lady, who is a single mother, I’d be screaming racial bias. This is greed gone wild by CEO”S. But back to the subject of laws for the rich and laws for the poor. Nothing will change until the lower class gets sick and tired of the double standards and rams it down the rich and powerful’s throats. I don’t agree with much the republicans and tea partiers say except when it comes to the revolution part. We will be forced to take leftovers until we take our country back from the rich and powerful. I would love the day when bush wakes up to know money and no power and no friend in cheney. Boo Hoo.

So GW’s “governance” was dictated by his Facebook stats?

One other thing that Bush and Obama seem to have in common………….

he knows that he can make money off of the carnage that occurs on them.

all hat and no cattle

Tell me about the rabbits, Dick….will there be rabbits in the White House?

He cared about what cheney thought of him now and until the day he dies because they
both have so much on each other to send the other to the Haig that they must remain
on good terms.

#43 is living proof that #41 sodomized buffalo.

If Dick Cheney considered me a friend, I would consider myself a failure as a human being.

He sounds like what he is. An immature child playing grown up. Will you like me Dick if I pardon Scooter? Who would pardon a man like that with a name like that? Bush. Gee Dick will there be math? You promised there would be no math on the test.

I wonder if he finished the book, My Pet Goat? Two terms he got. Say what you like about our current President. At least he can hold more than one concept at a time and speaks so that you can understand him. Bush is Bush. I wonder who his ghost writer was. No one believes he could write a sentence without help. At least not without conjugating some irregular verbs.

If you can’t believe it, you are not paying any attention.

He’s apparently afraid of horsies.

He says he was against the Iraq war!

Must have thought it would conflict with his vacation time.

One hour infomercial on NBC tonight for the book.

But NBC, in the spirit of non-partisanship, suspended Keith Olbermann for making political contributions.

What’s an hour of prime time worth?

Here’s the deal:

If Bush had pardoned Scootee, the latter would have lost his 5th Amendment rights not to testify.

If Scootee had lied during testimony, the immunity wouldn’t have protected him and he would have gone to jail.

Commutation saved Scootee’s 5th Amendment privilege.

No way Chimpy figured it out for himself. This is pure Rove…Who, by the way, Scootee would have had to testify against.

i don’t see no horns on that bowa…

So that “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo” had an ounce of truth to it where the Bush character said he was freaked by Cheney? I’m beginning to wonder if Dubya was kept out of the loop of the shadow government.

“You went to him and you told him,” Lauer explained. “You said he was furious and he said, ‘I can’t believe you’re going to leave a soldier on the battlefield?’”

But Libby was supposed to be fighting on the same side as Plame. Didn’t he leave her “…on the battlefield” as well? To Cheney, this wasn’t war, it was politics. However, it seems that ole’ W was so convinced that it was really war, that he he couldn’t stomach pardoning Libby. It seems clear that W probably has a microscopic conscience, but isn’t really smart. One the other hand Cheney is very smart, and has no conscience whatsoever.

I always recognized Bush’s elementary school mentality, like the way he turned the U.S. into a play ground bully internationally. But really, the elected leader of the free world worried about making a friend not like him? You’d think he’d be ashamed to admit such a thing publically.

Think about all the money, George, the money!

Anybody else notice how everything Bush says is all about him or how people referred to him or how they would think about him! He is certaInly the center of his own universe!

It is a huge guilt complex, he knows he will go down in history as a tyrant and is doing damage control, too bad for him the turd that he is will never polish.

Everything was/is about him, everything. He could care less about the disaster he left in the wake of the most horrific presidency in America’s short history.
He should be on trial at the Hague because we have no justice in America anymore.

This charade was worked out beforehand between Cheney, Rove and Libby with Bush as a simple functionary.

waaaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa waa

You’re right. Liked.

You’re right. Liked.

This is a man who is too stupid to know how bad that sounds in light of the fact that thousands have died because of his small minded thinking and his bad decisions. He still has those same beady eyes and that smug stupid smirk on his idiotic face. I despise him and I hold him responsible for all the mess America is in today. He dragged us to where we are and we aren’t going to get out of this anytime soon.

I am definitely going to see “Fair Game.”

But people forget that the outing of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson in 2003 (and the subsequent trial and conviction of Scooter Libby) began a couple of years earlier when some forged Niger documents were given to the CIA station chief in Rome, Italy, forged documents that purportedly showed Saddam Hussein trying to get his hands on even more low-grade yellow-cake uranium than he already had.

The CIA station chief forwarded this politically-manufactured claim to CIA headquarters at Langley. The CIA (probably in a PDF) briefed the president and vice-president. Dick Cheney then asked a CIA agent if this “information” was true, setting off all that followed. CIA officials decided to investigate. CIA officials knew that Plame’s husband, former U.S. ambassador Joe Wilson, had previously been sent on similar fact-finding missions for the CIA. He knew people over in Niger and at the French-controlled Niger uranium mines. He reported back to Washington that there was no evidence to support the claim that Saddam Hussein was trying to get more yellow-cake uranium. A U.S. general and the CIA station chief in Niger reported the same thing to Washington.

A couple of weeks before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq by Bush and while U.N. WMD inspectors were still on the ground in Iraq searching for any WMD, U.N. officials were finally given a hard copy of the Niger documents. Within minutes, they determined that the Niger documents were forgeries, that someone had been trying several years earlier to make the case that Saddam Hussein had active, current nuclear aspirations in violation of U.N. sanctions. Now, who might have been trying to do that, I wonder?

I also wonder if Bush has gone on any quail hunting trips with Dead-eye Dick since they both slithered out of the White House? That’d be one way Bush could discover if Dick is his “friend.”

What a liar. If Libby had spilled the beans rather than keeping a code of silence Bush Jr would have lost the election because of the big news that he outed an agent for pay back and that he lied this nation into a war.

Libby’s silence was a stall to delay the grand jury until after the election. Judith Miller was a stall as well. The secret the two did not want to get out was that the people were set up in a lie. The White House would tell the lie to Miller, she would print the lie under secret source.

Bush Jr lied claiming he was a dissenter in the Iraq war.

The Plame event was revenge by the White House for exposing the lie.

“Please, be my friend. I’ll be your friend if you’ll be mine. I’ll do anything you want forever and ever and ever. I won’t even cry or tell when you shoot me in the face. I can hear my heart beating… but I can’t hear yours. What up, Dicky-Poo?”

Why are Bush, Chaney, Rove and Libby not in prison?

The decider…… heh heh heh … What an embarrassment!! I am so ashamed that he was our leader for 8 years. He is so weak, so stupid. He was a puppet, we all know that. I thought for years during his presidency that Cheney was really running the country. Rove and co. stole the elections (both of them) for him and I do believe Bush really thought he was the commander in chief, too stupid even to know who was really calling the shots. He was and always will be a tool. I only wish he was smart enough to feel remorse for his stupidity but like a little child, his whole little world is of his own perception and that doesn’t include any of the damage he’s done to this country and the people. Yeah, he’s a content man. He doesn’t deserve to be content or happy or comfortable or any of the good things in life. He should be in prison. But he’s not.

I hope you’re right. I hope he has regrets and knows he’s doing damage control. I hope he suffers with it. But I do believe he’s too stupid to know that. I think he really believes the bullshit he’s talking. ‘The decider’. You know, ‘hard decisions’., Oh yeah.

I really hate this guy. He’s dirt.

Read Russ Baker’s book “Family of Secrets”. It documents all you need to know about the Bushes & lots more. A real eye opener. And Valerie & Joe’s movie “Fair Game” is out in limited release. CALL your local movie theater and ask them to screen it.

He’s such a moron. Nothing else to say really.

They didn’t simply leave her on the battlefield. They shot her in the back, like he treasonous cowards they really were.

Losing Chaney’s friendship is like getting rid of crabs.

“I was worried Cheney wouldn’t be my friend if I didn’t pardon Scooter Libby,” was actually not said by Bush. I’m definitely not a huge fan of Bush, but he did a good job in the interview I must say. I think this article definitely twisted his words and claims that he said something he different. He admitted pressure from Cheney but never based his decision on their friendship. Way to pull a “Fox News” and twist the news Raw Story.

He thinks Cheney is his friend?

That’s like Benny the Cat thinking that Sylvester is his friend.

The only person this fucking piece of shit (george w bush) should be talkin to is Bubba in prison !

Wasn’t the Presidential Commutation enough of a Dick Sucking?

Ok, so maybe the headline does twist it from Bush’s perspective, but it sure paints the right picture of Cheney… what a bastard that man is, 10 times more self-serving, corrupt and paranoid than Bush. He used Bush..and other..throughout the time he was VP.

This would be the same Dickless Cheney who shot one of his “friends” in the face while drunk and hunting?

Bought and read “Family of Secrets” when it came out in 2009. I don’t know exactly what to think about Baker. He certainly has done a lot of reading on the Bush family (he claims to have a book shelf with over 400 books on the family) and it is a compelling book on some levels. Some of it is has a few holes in it. He seems to imply that George H.W. had some role in Kennedy’s assassination but I remember not understanding exactly what it was. We should have some rule that ex-heads of the CIA can’t become president. Obviously, the American voter doesn’t have any sense of just how evil a person has to be to hold that position.

Some other good books on Bush and Cheney are:

Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency (2008) by Barton Gellman (Pulitzer Prize Winner for 2008)
Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency And The Subversion of America Democracy (2007) by Charlie Savage
The Dark Side: The Inside Story Of How The War On Terror Turned Into A War On American Ideals (2008) by Jane Mayer (A must)

And two books by Craig Ungar which are to my mind two of the best books on “W”
House Of Bush House of Saud: The Secret Relationship Between The World’s Two Most Powerful Dynasties (2004)
The Fall Of the House Of Bush: The Untold Story Of How A Ban of True Believers Seized The Executive Branch, Started The Iraq War, And Still Imperils America’s Future (2007)

I read several others on Bush, the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, and Cheney. The left turned cataloging Bush’s failures and shenanigans into a cottage industry. And I supported it for most of his presidency. These are just some of the most recent and to my mind some of the best on Bush and Cheney.

my 14 yr old son went trick or treating as said hunting partner.

Bush does nothing but bring back unpleasant memories.

Worst American President ever.

very true. Can u imagine being a fly on the wall during those 8yrs??? W probably would have just pulled off one of ur wings and tortured u until u died anyway. It has always been such an embarrassment to have that illiterate ding bat respresenting our country.

didnt work. Everytime he opened his mouth it was just so sad and ignorant. He had his own made up vocabulary and he just basically knew nothing about the job. Dave Letterman had the presidential speech clips EVERY night MONDAY—>FRIDAY, and fresh material every night. Choking, rambling,stuttering,blabbering moments each night—funny but again embarrassing that this piece of sh** stood for the USA!!!!

I know ppl are rough on O’Bama, but i”m not sure what happened to these ppl’s memories of the “previous”–was it wiped clean w/the election? There’s so much to rebuild and fix–every aspect of ur life has been affected by that idiots actions and the hand up his ass doing the decision-making for him (dick).

“THEY” want “THEIR” country back, haven’t u heard.

Everyone who has read about the Plame case and has a reasonable logical mind, knows that Cheney ordered Scooter to create the leak. Scooter would never have done such a thing without Cheney’s approval. Cheney was afraid if Scooter had to face real prison time he would rat him out. That’s why he was so upset, and used the “soldier” manipulation on Bush. Bush, of course, was too dumb to realize Cheney’s real motivation. Not only would Cheney be exposed as a huge hypocrite if Scooter told the truth, he would be guilty of a felony.

you hit the nail on the head—EXACTLY!

I’m in virginia, but that’s something I REALLY wish I could do. Why honor that fool?

I don’t believe that the death of his sister has a damn thing to do with this birdbrain’s mental condition. He did that to himself with his drinking & probably doping. He is using her as an excuse just like he has an excuse for every damn dumb thing he has done in his life. I’d be willing to bet that he & Dick Cheney sat in the White House laughing and giggling as they watched the torture tapes. I think that’s how inhumane that goofy faux cowboy is.

good!

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

i agree, why jesus lets this go on is concerning
