Today's Meme...Everyone Has Their Picture Taken With boooosh
Edited on Mon Jan-23-06 07:37 AM by KharmaTrain
Yep...c'mon folks, look around, I'm sure we all have pictures of us with commander bunnypants lying around. I mean he took 9500 of them just in one night. :sarcasm:

I saw this one coming up Pennsylvania Avenue...ala Plumbers style, the White House attempted to scrub any record of a relationship between booooosh and Abramoff; just like they did with Kenny-boy Lay...as if he was some stranger who walked in off the street and just happened to get some pictures taken. Of course boooosh wouldn't have known this man raised over $100,000 in contributions not once but twice for his campaign and those fellers with the Indian gear in the room...well they're just more people who happened to stumble in off the street.

Be assured, this is how the right wing and corporate media (seems like there's no distinction now) will spin this story today and try to make it seem like booooosh was an Abramoff victim as well. "How did he know the guy was scamming millions that ended up back in his own party's coffers??" .

Now Snotty needs to come clean about all those non-visits he claimed never took place between booosh and a man he hardly knew but still has pictures taken with. If there's no fire, Snotty, let's see the phone records, visitation logs and other documents just like the Democrats were forced to turn over during the fradulent campaign investigations into Clinton and Gore. C'mon...let our great corporate media turn that bright shinning light on these records like they were relentless to hear those Monica tapes or show that ropeline photo. Now we know that won't happen.

The chutzpah of this regime and its enablers has no bounds...especially now when the only way they know how to get out of a lie is with another smear or lie.

Now I'm wondering about Mr. Abramoff's excellent New York City adventures at the RNC last year. Surely he must have been the toast of the town...strutting around with his purple bandages and attending all those big parties. Surely he must have attended that private Rangers/Pioneer gathering booosh and his cabal held to thank the real high rollers. Now back to connecting dots...we return you to your normal smearing, distorting, lying, mis-stating, mis-representing and other Repugnican antics already in progress.

Cheers...

3. This Place Needs A Meme Alert...LOL
Seems like every morning I can tell you what the spin for the day will be...and sure enough, turn on Washington Journal and I'm hearing what I predicted. Either I'm clairvoyant...which I surely am not...or they're just so damn predictable.

The game here...and looks like there are some players on other sites ready to gear up...is to bite those memes to bits before they grow legs.

Cheers...

4. So, where's the one where Michael Moore had his pic with *?
Or Bush meeting with Cindy Sheehan? He "met" with her - and said "Who are we honoring today?" in his bored, uninformed, "worship me" voice . . .

5. An administraiton whose Sec. of Defense was photographed
Edited on Mon Jan-23-06 07:56 AM by ComerPerro
shaking hands with Saddam back in the 80's, while Saddam was committing all of those horrible crimes and gassing his own people...

They'll pose for a photo op with anyone and everyone, apparently.

6. But everyone with cash in hand DOES get their picture taken with Bush.
Now, how about being on the transition team, going to crawford and getting meetings in the WH?

11. My thought exactly.
Those pix aren't for free. There's a hefty price in political donations and/or fundraising that comes with them.

9. Now Let's See Where Those Pictures Are Taken
I just heard it again..."everyone can get their picture taken" from an AEI droid on C-SPAN. The thing I'll be looking for is where those pictures are taken. It's one thing for a photo in a reception line in the Rose Room or some large hall...it's another for that photo to be in the Oval office or some other intimate setting...especially considering the bubble world this boy lives in. Now let's seem them 'splain that one.

10. PLUS Boosh sold 9/11 photos for actual political profit

September 6, 2002

Bush's 9-11 Photo Profiteering

A BuzzFlash Editorial

With September 11th approaching and the prospect of Bush using the anniversary events to make political gains for his ailing ratings, we thought it would be important to show how Bush has previously used the tragedy of 9-11 to advance his far-right political agenda and, most despicably, to make a quick buck for the GOP.

In May, Bush and the GOP started selling a three-photo collection of Bush's first year in office, which included a photo of "a telephone call from Air Force One to Vice President Cheney the afternoon of September 11."

14. I'm starting to send e-mails to all the cable talking heads. Bush lies!
His denial and feigned memory lapse just like Cheney, Rove, Rummy, Condi, DeLay, and others is just proof positive that these people are liars, criminals, and unpatriotic. When out of office they hate our government, when they are the government they hate the people!

16. There's A Paper Trail...We Need To See It
Anytime someone sneezes within a mile of the White House, it's monitored. When the Riyadi "scandal" broke (freepers will say all the criminals ran off to China...LOL) it wasn't long before we heard about lobbyist Charlie Lee and his entire visit and phone logs to the White House were on the front pages across the country. It didn't take long and one would think "in this post-9/11 world" there'd be even more intense monitoring in that bubbleland now.

Let's see the paper trail. Again, if there's a picture in the Oval Office, there's gonna have to be a bunch of 'splaining to do. Methinks this meme may not run too far after all. Stay tuned...it's still being astroturfed.

25. Remember the sign-in sheets for Gannon. You know there must be
some on Abramoff unless he used a Secret Service alter ID.
