You know, it seems like the Bush administration has been doing a lot of finger crossing behind it’s back these days. First Cheney says “I’ve never met you before tonight” to John Edwards in the VP debate….then video turns up of the two men (and their wives) sitting next to each other at an official dinner. He also says he has “presided over the senate almost every tuesday” when “almost every” turns out to mean less than ten times in four years (not counting private sessions that democrats aren’t welcome to attend). Now we see John Kerry assailing Bush about failure in Iraq because he lost the weapons cache at Al-Qaqaa (what a fitting name, don’t you think?). Bush counters with “they were gone before we got there” and has a satellite image of Iraqi activity at the bunkers two days before the invasion. (The bunkers were not where the weapons were kept by the way) Ok, so I had to give it to Georgy on that one.. THEN this morning we find out that a reporter with the invasion force made a video<\/a> of a soldier examining the barrels of ammunitions in April AFTER the invasion… Which is worse, a candidate that says 100% when his plan really covers 90%….or a candidate (and VP candidate) that boldy looks America in the eye and lies not once but over and over and over. The ultimate irony is that Bush will probably win. When you control all media in small town America, the people never hear the TRUTH, let alone dissenting opinions. For all they know in Marietta….Dick Cheney has never met John Edwards before and a president who “doesn’t really spend a lot of time thinking about” catching Osama Bin Ladin is the obvious choice to keep us safe.<\/p>\n

At least that is what Maja Rushie, Glenn Beck, and Bill O’Really? think.<\/p>\n

Alright, I’ve opened the floodgates DJ and JD, lets see what you’ve got….
\nThis should make for some lively conversation at the reception.<\/p>\n
