George Bush's Animal White House
You don't need me to put you up on recent developments in the Plamegate affair from Scooter Libby being indicted to the flameouts of journalists Judy Miller & Bob Woodward and increasing scrutiny of Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Stephen Hadley et al. (although I may still try to do a post to some intresting links to read that you may have missed), but with apologies to Chris Miller and Harold Ramis, I have to say:
"Inept, Corrupt and Unethical is no way to go through a presidency, son...."
"We face a demographic tsunami" - "David Walker, the comptroller general of the United States and the nation's top auditor [says] the United States can be likened to Rome before the fall of the empire. Its financial condition is "worse than advertised," [and] it has a "broken business model" as it faces deficits in its budget, its balance of payments, its savings — and its leadership."
Related: Bush has borrowed more than all previous Presidents combined, group says.
US 'had no policy' in place to rebuild Iraq.
Or The "Big Easy" evidently: "New Orleans Today: It's Worse Than You Think - months after Katrina, New Orleans is still a disaster & most people are gone." (related: the top five reasons why the contracting of Titan by FEMA to do post-Hurricane Katrina rebuilding was a very bad idea.)
Abramoff Partner Charged With Conspiracy.
UN report: Halliburton ripped off Iraq for $208M. (related: more Halliburton fcckery.)
The "other" O-Dub on the Bush admin's "culture of corruption."
Antiwar sermon brings Liberal church IRS warning.
Deconstructing Cheney.
Bush staffers could take a cue from the Jordanian government but I'm not holding my breath that they'll do the right thing unless more Grand Jury indictments loom.
