MoDo: "A half-dozen dunderheads"

[nostamj]

<snip>

A half-dozen dunderheads who thought they knew everything assumed they could control Mr. Chalabi and use him as the instrument of their utopian fantasies. But one week after getting cut off from the $335,000-a-month Pentagon allowance arranged by his neo-con buddies, he glibly accepts the street cred that goes with bashing America. And he still won't give us all of Saddam's secret files, which he confiscated and is using to discredit his enemies.

Going from Spartacus to Moses, he proclaims to America, "Let my people go" — even as he plays footsie with the country that once denounced the U.S. as the Great Satan.

On Friday at Louisiana State University, President Bush told graduates: "On the job and elsewhere in life, choose your friends carefully. The company you keep has a way of rubbing off on you — and that can be a good thing, or a bad thing. In my job, I got to pick just about everybody I work with. I've been happy with my choices — although I wish someone had warned me about all of Dick Cheney's wild partying."

Mr. Bush thought he was kidding, but too bad he didn't get that warning before Dick Cheney took the world on such a wild ride.

4. did you read "BUSHWORLD" - great piece!

WASHINGTON It's their reality. We just live and die in it..

In Bushworld, American troops go to war and get killed, but you never see the bodies coming home..

In Bushworld, flag-draped remains of the fallen are important to revere and show the nation, but only in political ads hawking the president's leadership against terror..

In Bushworld, America can create an exciting Iraqi democracy as long as it doesn't control its own military, pass any laws or have any power.

But she and her kind can never redeem themselves for what they did to Gore (and our nation) in 2000.
