For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more!

Jimmys been wimping out since he was born I think. I mean seriously, a foreign land gets invaded, its people subjugated and degraded, and stand-up Jimmys answer on the world stage is....BOYCOTT ATHLETIC EVENTS!!
Jimmy is the only ex-Prez who I can see, sitting there at the desk in the Oval Office, gleefully rubbing his hands together with that wild look in his eyes, just KNOWING that this boycott will show the world what a tough guy he is ( the reality being he never saw a situation he couldn't look find a gutless weasels way out of ) and actually BELIEVING that this HEROIC STEP was the cure!

From what I have seen of this episode, it all comes down to veracity. If Bush and Gonzales had come out front and said that the attorneys in question had shown themsleves to be offside with the Adminsitatrtion's priorities and, as their service is at the choice of the administration, so they were sacked, it would have ended. Still some uproar, but the principals involved would still have their integrity.
But, no, they come across as evasive incompetents at best and downright liers at worst.
Just like Nixon, If he'd offered up his mea cuplpa from the onset on Watergage, and taken action to punish those in the party who organized Watergate, he'd likely have stayed in office.

Justice Department investigators have widened an internal probe of the firings of U.S. attorneys to include a broader examination of hiring practices at the sprawling department, including the troubled Civil Rights Division and programs for beginning lawyers, officials said yesterday...
...The widening inquiry is likely to pose an additional challenge for Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, who is already facing lawmakers' calls for his resignation and a potential no-confidence vote by the Senate. While the U.S. attorney dismissals have prompted wide political criticism, improper hiring practices could be deemed a violation of the law.

Oohh yeah and then a new one can come up.
Do you people REALLY want to know what is up? Why they dwell in the dark jungle of politics quite often...
Well let me clue you in, there are people amungst us, many in fact, who can see the train rolling down the tracks at an amazing speed yet who have absolutely ZERO NADA NIL NEIN NONE balls to jump off or otherwise make preparations.
These people are so FN afraid of what they think will occur they are now trying to fool themselves into believing that this mad mad mad mad mad mad world will suddenly come to its sense's , do the "right" thing which will allow them to maintain their little unsustainable lifestyle's.
Everything, EVERYTHING! hinges on oil and energy and if what many believe comes to pass ALL of these ballless spineless worms will suffer and die.
Politics, science and religion. The 3 headed beast of false hope.
Go on then, plan for good things and not for the bad.
Hope that some politico messiah can stop the train before it crashes or otherwise golden parachute our economies of choice into a slow crash. Think Positive! ahahahah

I hope you don't count me as one of those. I am doing some preparations, you know. All that buying a houseboat and starting a peak oil group and stuff.
And I am still an optimist. In the sense that I don't expect 90% of people to die. Or even 50%.

It is amazing that information on what went on at the 25th Annual Inter Action Council Vienna is to be found on Moscow News. It is the link that I provided above. Crap _________________ Men argue, nature acts !

I would go farther than Carter. I would say that Bush is not only the worst president in history, but the worst president we will ever have had.
He's beyond bad. He'd have to be, to have an approval rating in the low 30s among a population as ignorant and naive as that of the US, and that actually elected him twice. _________________ "Actually, humans died out long ago."

Its an interesting legal and constitutional claim.
The office of the VP has NO executive authority or function, according to the US constitution.
The Vice President's ONLY job, according to the U.S. Constitution, is to preside over and vote in the Senate. The Senate is clearly part of the legislative branch of government.
The VP is generally considered to be in the executive branch, because he is is elected with the president, but the VP's official constitutional duties and function are actually in the legislative branch. Is the VP co-equal with Senators who he sometimes votes with?
I can't imagine how the SCOTUS will go on this one.
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2007 1:28 pm Post subject: Re: Dick Cheney claims he is not a part of the executive bra
Right. So, then, as Senator 101, Executive privilege shouldn't stand in the way of an internal congressional investigation into Cheney's energy task force.
Too bad that Reid and Pelosi are sniveling sycophants.
