Appalled on a Friday Morning

I am consistently taken aback by Bush and his Regime's insistence on rewriting and misconstruing history for the benefit of their war-time desires.

Like so many societies that no longer exist today, we should all remember and think about the fact that those who do not listen to and learn from history (truthful history) are destined (and doomed) to repeat it.

The transcript of Bush's speech at the VFW convention can be read here.

Bush Is Not "Worried About His Legacy"

In an AP Article on Yahoo:

when [Bush] asked if he owes the Iraqi people an apology for botching the management of the war, he said "Not at all."

"We liberated that country from a tyrant," Bush said. "I think the Iraqi people owe the American people a huge debt of gratitude."

What an arrogant bastard.

Well, Holy Crap!

Bush Takes Blame for GOP Election Losses

On CNN. My favorite quote:

"The message yesterday was clear: The American people want their leaders in Washington to set aside partisan differences, conduct ourselves in an ethical manner and work together to address the challenges facing our nation," Bush said.

All those things we learned in kindergarten: cooperation, following rules, acting ethically, learning to get along...it took him a while to stop stamping his feet and jutting out his lower lip, but it's good to see our president trying to act like a big boy.

Also...no more Donald Rumsfeld. Woo-Hoo!!

So now it's just up to Virginia...I've got fingers tightly crossed. Maybe we can actually see some real checks and balances in these last couple of years. A congress led by the Democrats will at least make the time leading up to 2008 a bit more bearable (please?)
