Everybody hates George
Albanians are insulted by the White House's security measures on upcoming visit, in which only US Marines get to guard Boy King Snotty McPrivilege.
As part of preparations, Parliament on Thursday approved an act that allows more than 500 combat-ready U.S. troops entry into the country, and sanctions their use of "force proportionate to any possible threat."
Albania's formal elite escort for visiting dignitaries, the Republican Guard, will not be allowed to carry guns on the day of the spoiled little punk's visit.

Keepin' us safer
Jebus K. Hamburger... the Bush misadministration said Tuesday it will fight to keep meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease.
You read that right. The Bush "administration" will fight to keep meatpackers from testing their animals for mad cow disease. How does stupid shit like this always end up happening?Dude, you said it yourself: "the Bush 'administration.'" Along with their craven GOP lickspittles, the kneepadded 'liberal media,' and the cowardly Dems. Duh.

US economy has worst growth since 2002
The economy nearly stalled in the first quarter with growth slowing to a pace of just 0.6 percent. That was the worst three-month showing in over four years

Jebus...
I think we've reached a new {sub}level of stupid!
Conservatard loon: gays in the military will spend all their time looking at their comrades' tight buff asses and shooting off into their fatigues --
Last night on CNN, right-wing pundit Mark Smith argued that “openly gay people” should not be allowed to serve in the military. He argued that gay soldiers are unable to “focus” on the war, comparing gays in the military to himself in a platoon of “Hooters waitresses.”Talk about boobs. Criminey...
He stated, “[F]or example, if you put me in a platoon with nothing but, let’s say, Hooter waitresses, that’s going to distract me , and I’m not going to be focused on winning the war. I am going to be focused on other things.”

Another Rove protege resigns
His job for the Bush WH done, the unqualified turd moves on, possibly to the presidential campaign of Saint Fred Reaganson.
The U.S. Justice Department has notified Arkansas’s congressional delegation that interim US Attorney Tim "mmmmphlph, yes, Karl" Griffin is resigning effective Friday, June 1.Read that again: this is the guy Bush's "Justice" dept gave a job to as a US Attorney. I can almost feel my blood congealing. Unbelievable.
Griffin, a protege of Karl Rove, was formerly research director of the Republican National Committee. In 2004, BBC News published a report showing that Griffin led a “caging” scheme to suppress the votes of African-American servicemembers in Florida.

Is it can be disbarment time now pleez?
Heh: I keep reading that as "dismemberment."
"Bush Justice" head could be shitcanned for being a partisan political whore.
“While the political world obsesses over whether Attorney General Alberto Gonzales can survive the outcry over the politically motivated dismissal of eight United States Attorneys, the legal academy has been debating a different aspect of the fallout: Could a case be made that the chief law-enforcement officer of the United States should be disbarred?”Bonus: we can always try to impeach the miserable little weasel.
The question has emerged in the wake of what many consider to be damaging testimony by Monica Goodling, Mr. Gonzales’ senior counselor, before the House Judiciary Committee on May 23.
“It depends crucially on what the facts are,” said David Luban, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center. “Given the most unfavorable interpretation, there’s clearly a case for disbarment.”

Shameless Bush suckhole to troops: "who cares what you think?"
More on Joementum Iraq trip... Sen./quisling Joe Lieberman (I-Me), suited up in body armor and helmet, tells reporters in Iraq “what I see here today is progress, significant progress.” Hours later, confronted by US soldiers, he got a very different message: “Get us the hell out of here!!!!! You're fucking high, dude. Shit.”
Spc. David Williams collected questions for Lieberman from 30 other troops.Meanwhile, in a sign that we're continuing to make significant progress, a suicide bomber hit a police recruiting center in Fallujah on Thursday, killing at least 25 people and wounding 50.
At the top of his note card was the question he got from nearly every one of his fellow soldiers : “When are we going to get out of here?”
“We’re not making any progress,” Spc. Will Hedin said, as he recalled a comrade who was shot by a sniper last week. “It just seems like we drive around and wait to get shot at. … It’s just more troops, more targets .”
In response to their questions about leaving Iraq, Lieberman parroted the White House talking points, saying it would be a “victory for al-Qaida and a victory for Iran.”
In another sign we're continuing to make significant progress, the number two leader of US forces in Iraq, General Raymond Odierno, said Thursday that US and Iraqi troops have not yet made sufficient progress in Baghdad.

Not Only is He a Client...
It appears that America's Mayor, former comb-over competition winner, and Hair Club For Men majority stockholder crossdressing Julie Ruliani Rude Giuliani's campaign is going to have some unwelcome followers:
Irate fire fighters, who will spread a message that he's not in fact the great leader he's made out to be. "If somebody can tell me what he did on 9/11 that was so good, I’d love to hear it." said Jim Riches, a deputy chief fire fighter whose son was killed that day. "All he did was give information on the TV."
The "liberal media" and the Reich-Wingnuts are ignoring this story and are already getting on their knees in anticipation of slobbering all over Rudy's twice divorced adultery pole, as they fret about missing white women and John Edwards' haircuts.
Pravda and al Jazeera are reportedly furious at being beaten to the propaganda punch yet again. Free Pressin' is hard work!

A Whole Lotta Dick
Adding to what Maru posted below, and speaking of HUGE DICKS, to commemorate Darth Cheney's anniversary of the "last throes" prediction, Head presidential smegma taster and first fellatist, Joe LIEberman made a typical unannounced "surprise" visit to a peaceful Indiana Market Baghdad to get a great deal on some rugs.
"He said he was happy with the progress. He was devastated by the fact that May was turning in to the deadliest month since November 2004. But he said he did believe that this surge eventually would pay off and it would start to break the insurgency."He also noted off the record that he is NOT a dirty cocksucker because Presidunce McChimpleton has excellent personal hygiene habits.

More chicanery from the honor 'n' integritude party
Cheney violating the Presidential Records Act, sez CREW.
Lawyers for Dick Cheney ordered the Secret Service in September to destroy his visitor logs just as a lawsuit was filed seeking access to them to find out how often Jack Abramoff visited.
"The latest filings make clear that the administration has been destroying documents and entering into secret agreements in violation of the law," said Anne Weismann, CREW's chief counsel.Actually, the news would be to name the laws he doesn't violate.
The antichrist.

This just in: insane mattress-soiling shitbag was elected senator for SC
Bizarro asshat Sen. Jim DeMint (R-etard) blames Democratic “wimps” in Congress, especially Harry Reid, for American casualties in Iraq.
During a speech to 100 constituents, DeMint also took issue with the now widespread belief that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, saying the executed Iraqi dictator had “stockpiles of chemical weapons” that still exist.Shouldn't this guy be locked up somewhere?
“Al-Qaida knows that we’ve got a lot of wimps in Congress,” DeMint said. “I believe a lot of the casualties can be laid at the feet of all the talk in Congress about how we’ve got to get out, we’ve got to cut and run.”
Asked later who he had targeted in his comments, DeMint replied: “To a large degree, the Democratic party and those who basically declared defeat like Harry Reid.”

Immaculate Perception
The Grandfather of the virgin birthed newborn Anti-Christ, Darth Cheney, slithered out from his undisclosed lair of fear, death, and all things evil this weekend to rally his newly graduated storm troopers at West Point. After initially considering wearing a loin cloth, a bone through his nose, and an Iraqi skull necklace, with Arab blood dripping off his chin and screaming to the West Point grads “Go and fucking kill brown people! I command you! Kiiiiiillllllll,” He softened up his message a bit.......
“As Army officers on duty in the war to grab MY oil, you will now face enemies who oppose and despise everything you know to be right, including waterboarding; every notion of enhanced interrogation and extraordinary rendition, and stolen election you consider worth fighting for and living for. Capture one of these killers, and he’ll be quick to demand the protections of the quaint Geneva Convention and the shredded Constitution of the United States. Yet when they wage attacks or take captives, their delicate sensibilities seem to fall away.”Or something like that. Funny how Constitutional protections seem to work pretty well for Cheney’s pals. Even more strange that West Point would bother to invite a draft dodger who managed 5 draft deferments due to other priorities as a commencement speaker.

Jebus, guys, come on already!!
The Bush administration’s never-ending push to turn federal agencies into favor-filled partisan clubhouses has just been confirmed in red-handed detail at the General Services Administration, the government’s main housekeeping agency.-- from a NY Times editorial. Meanwhile, another one of Karl's top aides, implicated in the US attorneys firings, has quit.
Last January, [Bush appointee Lurita] Doan summoned her assistants to a campaign strategy session run by Karl Rove’s White House political operation.... Like so many Bush appointees lately summoned to account by Congress, Ms. Doan repeatedly said she could not recall details of the meeting. Her other defense — that her accusers were poor-performing malcontents — was also found untrue, with several holding merit citations.
As for Mr. Rove, who has run this partisan traveling show through other federal agencies, this is only the latest abuse for which he needs to be brought fully and finally to account.
Is it can be frogmarch time now pleez??

The party of personal responsibilitude
Well, I guess we should have seen this one coming: unethical horndog Paul Wolfowitz blames the media for "forcing" him to resign.
"I think it tells us more about the media than about the bank and I'll leave it at that," he told the British Broadcasting Corp."Emotions here were overheated. Just like my hormones," he said in an interview.

Pass The Bong Rpg
John McStain and Flipper Romney are criticizing madrassa graduate B. HUSSEIN Obama's (rhymes with Osamma) vote with the majority of Americans and against the no-timetables Iraq War funding bill with typical Republicunt schoolyard taunting: defeatocrat, surrender, white flag, blah, blah, na na nana na.
Obama's response:
This country is united in our support for our troops, but we also owe them a plan to relieve them of the burden of policing someone else's civil war. Governor Romney and Senator McCain clearly believe the course we are on in Iraq is working, but I do not.McStain finishes off on a high note:
And if there ever was a reflection of that it's the fact that Senator McCain required a flack jacket, ten armored Humvees, two Apache attack helicopters, and 100 soldiers with rifles by his side to stroll through a market in Baghdad just a few weeks ago.
"Obama wouldn't know the difference between an RPG and a bong."An anonymous McStain aide added:
"Not even Obama's "Flack" jacket would protect him from McStain's Major Bong Loads."
