I saw this on CNN last night and nearly drove a chair-leg through the TV. Via Crooks and Liars:
The message from Bush to the Democratically controlled Congress was simple: 'Approve Mukasey or we will all die, and it will be all your fault.'Yeah, screw
Bush: “The job of Attorney General is essential to the security of America… Some in Washington should spend more time responding to the warnings of terrorists like Osama bin Laden, and the requests of our commanders on the ground, and less time responding to the demands of MoveOn.org bloggers and Code Pink protesters.”
"Bin Laden and his terrorist allies have made their intentions as clear as Lenin and Hitler before them. And the question is, will we listen? America and our coalition partners are listening. We have made our choice. We take the words of the enemy seriously."Seriously? Osama? Didn't you promise to get him "dead or alive"?

Bush is talking the usual Repuke-lican line -- hypocrisy (after all, without out their lies, their evil is revealed and they'd be down to a 5% nut-job approval). He's conveniently omitting the fact that HE him fucking-self IGNORED all the pre-9/11 warnings about Osama, those August 2001 warnings about 'bin Laden determined to strike in US', even telling a person who travelled to Texas during his month-long vacation in 2001 to warn him about bin Laden: 'OK, you've covered your ass, you can leave'! NOW he's playing the attentive lookout??!?! Fuck that noise!
What a fucked-up political situation we're living through - hopefully Jan 2009 will bring us something more rational!
Shorter Bush:
"We're fighting cowardly, deceptive murderers - and I take them at their word!"
