Clear Channel, who dumped Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge - after both criticized the Bush misadministration - has just added hateful pukebag Michael Savage to its lineup at KPRC in Houston.

Savage was fired from MSNBC last summer after he referred to a caller to his cable TV show as a "sodomite" and said he should "get AIDS and die."

Not a square to spare
Bush officials act as though they own 9/11, even while refusing to own up to any 9/11 mistakes.

The White House seems more worried about the public's finding out how much it knew and how little it did before 9/11 than it does about identifying and fixing security weaknesses.

After trying to kill the commission and then trying to put Dr. Strangelove-Kissinger in charge, President Bush and Dick Cheney have done their best to hamper the panel that's the best hope of the 9/11 widows, widowers and orphans to get justice.

"This is not no-fault government," said Lorie Van Auken, a 9/11 widow. "You don't just let people go on doing what they're doing wrong."

It is a triumph of chutzpah for Mr. Bush to thwart the investigation into 9/11 at the same time he seeks re-election by promoting his handling of 9/11 and scaring us with the specter of more terrorism. He's even using 9/11 memorials as the backdrop for his convention in New York.

'Republicans will start writing a 2005 budget facing the daunting news that Congress' number crunchers think pResident Bush's plans would yield $2.75 trillion in deficits over the next decade. In an ominous note, the congressional deficit estimate for the decade has grown by $119 billion since only January, chiefly due to increased estimates of the costs of the Medicare and Medicaid health-insurance programs.'

Joe Lieberman's good for something
House speaker Denny Hastert agreed Friday to give the independent panel investigating the Sept. 11 attacks more time to finish its work after Sens. McCain and Lieberman threatened to hold the highway bill hostage.

Meanwhile, people are writing in about Prince Chicken McLiar's decision to allow 9/11 commission to interview him for only 1 hour:

Bush, wanting to get the bottom of 9/11, will talk about it for ONE WHOLE HOUR!

One hour? He spent more time talking to auto mechanics at the Daytona 500.

It pretty much sums up how he feels about the significance of 9/11 and all those who died that day.

What do you get when those very scientists, a highly respected, nonpartisan group called the Union of Concerned Scientists, go on to claim that no other president in modern history has so openly misled the public or been so flagrantly disrespectful of scientific fact and mountains of irrefutable research, deliberately and systematically mutilating scientific data in the service of its rather brutal, pro-corporate, antienvironment agenda?

Seen on the web: comments on the 9/11 commission timeline and the White House not testifying:

I thought Bush was elected because Clinton was hiding the truth and blocking investigations.
Move along folks, nothing to see here..
I thought republicans were the party of personal responsibility.
Shows the absolute lack of regard this autocrat has for normal people.

This explanation was given by Hastert's spokesman:

He thinks the report is overdue and we need to get the recommendations as soon as possible. He is also concerned it will become a political football if this thing is extended and it is released in the middle of the presidential campaign.

Aren't you supposed to at least pretend that you're motivated solely by what's best for the country? But here we have Hastert's spokesman blithely admitting in public that he doesn't want to let the commission do its job properly because it might be politically inconvenient for the president. They don't even have the good grace to lie about this stuff anymore.

And my favorite: Coming from supposed "leaders" of America, this is sad. From self-proclaimed patriots, it's pathetic.

The fix is in
Jebus. If THIS doesn't look sleazy and underhanded, I don't know what does.

The Bush family lawyer has been hired to conduct an internal probe of Halliburton's involvement in corrupt payments made in Nigeria at a time when Dick 'Chicanery' Cheney was CEO of the company.

Lawyer James Doty has very close ties to the Bush family and the misadministration, and has represented both Drinky McDumbass and his father, Bush-the-only-slightly-smarter. Last year he was even on the 'short list' of candidates to replace Harvey Pitt as chairman of the SEC, and at one point was alleged to have vigorously serviced talc-ed, wrinkly matriarch Barbara Bush while numbnut-the-elder was off on one of his week-long binges.

Public interest activists have questioned the independence of the Doty investigation. "It's obvious that a firm that already has had a long-standing, close relationship with both the company and top members of the administration is incapable of independently investigating a case that is as complicated and potentially controversial as this one," said Charlie Cray, director of the Center for Corporate Policy in Washington, D.C. "Unscrupulous punk bastards."

Tell Congress to extend 9/11 commission deadline

"Two weeks ago, thanks to public pressure from 9/11 families, the White House reversed course and issued a public statement agreeing to a two-month extension to the 9/11 Commission’s deadline for issuing its final report. Unfortunately, this statement appears to be a publicity stunt, because in the past two weeks there has been no evidence that the White House has done anything to make this promise a reality. The White House’s allies in Congress, including Speaker of the House J. Dennis Hastert, continue to oppose any extension. If an extension of at least two months isn’t enacted by Congress, the Commission will not be able to finish its work." - - from 9/11 Citizens Watch.

The bill he introduced with Trent Lott would remove members of Congress from the line of succession.

Bush 'wanted war in 2002'
Napoleon Bonehead 'set the US on the path to war in Iraq' with a formal order signed in February 2002 - more than a year before the invasion - according to the new book Rumsfeld's War, by R. Scarborough, the Pentagon correspondent for the Bushmoonie Times.

The revelation casts doubt on the public insistence by US and British officials throughout 2002 that no decision had been taken to go to war, pending negotiations at the United Nations.

"On February 16 2002, Bush signed a secret national security council directive establishing the goals and objectives for going to war with Iraq, according to classified documents I obtained," Scarborough wrote.

I can't get that damn Quiznos song out of my head.

Bush misadministration lying about women's rights in Afghanistan

Two reports at the end of 2002 described the horrific situation in western Afghanistan where Ismail Khan had established a dictatorial fiefdom over three provinces, ignoring the Karzai government with tacit approval from the US. In an HRW report entitled 'We Want to Live as Humans': Repression of Women and Girls in Western Afghanistan, several women described the situation under Khan as virtually similar to living under the Taliban. Local police were stopping girls in the street and forcefully carrying out virginity tests. "Herat is the worst province for women in Afghanistan," said a UN official working with women's groups in Afghanistan. Ismail Khan has also revived the Taliban's much-feared Department of Vice and Virtue, which encourages young male goons to walk around streets and schools to make sure that segregation is being enforced.

Acts of torture were, and are, according to HRW, commonplace in Herat - "beatings...hanging upside-down, whipping, and shocking with electrical wires attached to the toes and thumbs." A torture victim described what happened to him and his friend:

Then they gave my friend electricity shocks. They used a crank generator. The had to crank it very fast to produce the shock. They tied two electrical lines to each of his big toes. Three or four times they shocked him.... Each time my friend's body would be thrown by the shock. After that, my friend signed the confession paper. Then I signed it also so that I would not be beaten.

All this has been happening while US Special Forces and diplomats and UN officials are based in Herat. When US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld visited Herat on April 29, 2002, he described Khan as "an appealing person, thoughtful, measured, and self-confident."

Remarks by pReznit Stupid to the National Governors Association
'Is that it? No genuflecting to yer war preznit?'

We are on the hunt for al Qaeda. You just got to know that there's a lot of brave people searching them out. And I view the hunt for al Qaeda as part of the war on terror.* And it requires all assets, intelligence assets and military assets, to chase them down and bring them to justice. And we're doing pretty good** -- better than pretty good. If al Qaeda were a corporation, middle management has been brought to justice***. And that's important for you to know. We can take comfort about the progress we're making. But we've got a lot more to do. And so we'll just stay on the hunt here in -- out of Washington, D.C****.

As you know, I laid out some doctrine that said if you harbor a terrorist, you're just as guilty as the terrorist. Unless you're Saudi Arabia or Pakistan And it's very important for the administration to follow through when they say something. It makes diplomacy a little easier when your word means something instead of being known as a flaming liar, which is what I am, so I oughtta know

*Duh! Jebus...
**I'm not a grammer cop by any means, but this just sets my nerves twanging.
***Just like Ken Lay and the Enron indictments!
****I'll jus' sit here on my ass while real soldiers get shot 'n' killed!

[Saddam] had used weapons of mass destruction on his own people. He hid weapons of mass destruction from inspectors. In other words, he wouldn't be open.

The United Nations Security Council, at my request, took a look at the issue one last time, and unanimously voted to have Saddam reveal, disclose, and destroy weapons of mass destruction and/or weapons of mass destruction programs and, if not, face serious consequences.

Iraq complied, but we bombed 'em back into the stone age anyway.

Let me rewrite history a little more September the 11th affected my way of thinking* when it came to the security of the country. We saw a danger, and so I gave him an ultimatum** -- the world really gave him an ultimatum. And he refused***. And rather than take the word of a madman whose actions had proven unworthy of leadership****, we acted, and we removed him.

*Gah! Ahhh! Ahhhhhhh!!
**Even though Saddam had nothing whatsoever to do with the attacks.
***If by "refused" you mean letting the inspectors in to do their jobs.
****Ummmmm, pot/kettle???
