OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN!
These are a few of my favorite quotes: (from http://www.capitolhillblue.com/artman/publish/article_7445.shtml)

"working at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is “life in a hellhole” "

"President whose temper tantrums drive staffers crying from the room "

"It’s like working in an insane asylum,”

"We’re the dance band on the Titanic"

"The ship is sinking and none of us are going to make it."

"Staffers say <Bush> is a President out of control."

"It reminds me of the Nixon days,’ says a longtime GOP political consultant with contacts in the White House. ‘Everybody is an enemy; everybody is out to get him. That’s the mood over there.’"

And the best for last:

"I think the Administration realizes the larger system has failed,” Gingrich says. “They are not where they want to be on Iraq. Katrina was an absolute failure."

1. Sounds like pRetzeldent needs to take another vacation.
"Escape to Crawford!!!" - maybe we'll hear that on Friday's news dump.

3. If you remove the performance of oil stocks from the equation
I wonder what the stock market looks like. As your Avatar's graph shows, it's been flat since Bush has been in office...except for the oil companies.

5. Dow Jones sinks if anything since Bush went into office
Nasdaq and S&P show gains post Iraq, but nothing like Defense and Oil Industries. It's really sick and obvious once you start looking at the charts... they knew this was coming and a ton of people got rich rich rich off the war.

6. It's so nice of them to finally remove their respective heads from their
respective asses long enough to tune in. Any president who thinks he has a direct line to his almighty and gets foreign policy advice from a "higher father" is bound to crack eventually...Duh!

8. Capitol Hill Blue always strikes me as a source that
ought to be true whether it is or not.

12. I've always seen a lot of truth in what they report, but the problem is
they don't have an journalistic standards of evidence. They are like Drudge, they report what they've heard, but they can't back it up with verifiable evidence, so no one else reports it. The media knows Bush is insane, they've known he was a bully for years. But they can't just report what they know, they have to have verifiable proof. CHB uses standards that other journalists consider too low, and that's why their stories don't hit the mainstream press.

Their editor agrees with you. He thinks he's ahead of the curve, too.

11. this guy played the same game with Clinton
I bet the stupid Freepers really ate up this garbage, eh?

At this point, few at either the White House or the Pentagon are willing to guess which direction the President will go. "There's a real feeling at the Pentagon that the President may have gone off the deep end on this one," says retired Air Force officer Matthew Higgins. "He has become very unpredictable on this one." "A few weeks ago, we all would have said that Clinton would give up as soon as the going got tough," says a high-ranking Pentagon officer. "But no one is really sure what he will do now. He's obsessed with this thing and that makes him both unpredictable and dangerous." A psychologist who treats obsessions says Clinton's preoccupation with his legacy could be viewed by mental health professionals as a warning sign over the President's stability. "There are enough outward signs that the President is so driven by his obsession with his legacy that it could be affecting his mental judgments," says Dr. Stephanie Crossfield. "If I were consulting on the President's case, I would recommend further evaluation of his condition." The White House did not return phone calls seeking comment on this report.
