Must be this morning's talking points are delayed (pun intended).

But I'm dying to hear a certain someone fill us in on how this is one of the spoils of the system, the Republicans won and they get all the 14-year-olds they can get; and if us stupid libs don't like it we're just going to have to win elections. Or something.

It's a stupid thread. That's why you haven't gotten much action on it -- liberal or conservative. Guy breaks the law, and people think he should pay for it on both sides. Making this reflective of a Republican philosophy or agenda won't be credible, and since the guy isn't an elected official it won't reflect upon a race.

Gee -- another public school teacher boffs a 13 year old. Will this effect the school choice movement? How will the NEA react?

Dumb.

first of all Guy did not break the law (as far as I know, Guy you can correct me if I am wrong), it was some moron named Brian Doyle.

- actually I agree with cjc. I dont see this as partisan, I could spin something about incompetant appointments making these things more likely, but that wouldnt be right either.

He is a deputy Press Secretary and obviously now will be going to prison where he can be a deputy dish washer. The ironic thing is that he is with the homeland security department.

I don't think you need the Brian Doyles, although that episode can't help but make people laugh. What he did is sick and stupid.

There is enough with the Michael Chertoffs,
Michael Browns,
John Snows,
Condi Rice with her "thousands of mistakes" talks,
Julie Myers at ICE,
No viable candidate for FEMA except the poor guy who is the active head and wasn't even considered in the first and second round of candidates,
L. Paul Bremer,
Jay Garner
Genls Pace and Casey
Josh Bolton succeeding Andy Card
and hapless Harriet Miers.

With almost 300 million Americans in the country, and an untold number of illegal immigrants, you mean to say that the White House could find nobody better to serve the country than this crowd?

Shame on us. And shame on the White House.

AlleyG:

No, it doesn't surprise me. But not for the reasons you cite, which I believe are simplistic.

Choosing second-rate or third-rate public servants, with Alito's and Roberts's exception at SC, seems to be the plan in this administration. And it's based on the assumption, I believe, that second or third-raters won't have the confidence or the balls to stand up to the boss or to Dick Cheney, the boss's boss. The plan assumes they will do what they're told, that they will serve the White House and not the people.

Ahhh, some of the same old "Bush is dumb" rhetoric I see...

Some Aristoleanish logic for you witty folks (alley/inny take note):

George Bush is a stupid idiot.

John Kerry lost to George Bush in the 2004 Presidential Election.

Therefore, John Kerry lost the 2004 Presidential Election to a stupid idiot.


So that makes him...?

Now, that is something to be proud of....

SLK:

I guess the word I learned in school was spelled "Aristotelian."

I did not make the point that Bush is stupid. That would be Alleygater.

And that troubles me, because, SLK, it shows that your reading comprehension skills and ability to sort material and retain different ideas in your head, are less than desirable and should be a cause for your concern.

SLK, I won't even bother to scrutinize your statements in bold. Logical statements are supposed to be a sequence of connected statements. What you have written, typical for you, are meaningless non-sequiturs.

If you believe George Bush is stupid, so be it. Say it proudly, but say it yourself.

Finally, I'll say that you write in the disconnected way George Bush seems to speak. (That may be intentional on his part.) Perhaps you've been spending too much time listening to him and swallowing his Kool-Aid.

That's probably unintended on your part.

Inny-

Relax Professor. I realized The logic wasn't fluid, that is why I called it Aristolelian-ish....the format is true to form at least...

Some of us who actually work for a living and don't have the time to fix ALL grammar/spelling errors. I feel sorry for you that you hang on such petty things instead of the actual point I am trying to make.

Which is...everyone of you that claim's Bush is a stupid idiot has supported a 2004 Presidential Candidate that ultimately lost to a stupid idiot. That is something I would refrain from writing home about....

Just being a silly boy Inny. If you allow your Jesuit arrogance to cease a tad bit you may actually enjoy life for once....

I'm the one who needs the defense. From people like you, and this administration. I've felt on attack (and not from terrorists) since the beginning of this adminstration's rule. And I'm sorry, but I feel the same quantities of contempt from the right as you do from me...I feel justified in my thoughts. Stop hitting me, and I promise I'll put away my gun. Until then, I'll just hope that the president slips up and get's his behind impeached. With all the embaressment and turmoil that the Republican party is going through right now, I'd say it's a good possibility. Bye Bye Mr. Libby. Bye Bye Mr. Delay. And until it comes true, I'll dream sweet thoughts of Bye Bye Mr. President.

Alley, Its SLK that cant follow his own confused logic to conclusion. It is to the credit of the people who did not vote for Bush that they recognized an idiot when they saw one. All the people who did not vote for Bush based on his being a 'good Christian' and all the people who did not vote for Bush because we saw right through his ideas and knew he would take the country to the brink of bankruptcy. We are among the intelligent voters who actually voted based on the ideas and the track record of Bush and said no.

The ones on the right who did vote for this known idiot have no excuse.

George Bush is a stupid idiot.

John Kerry lost to George Bush in the 2004 Presidential Election.

Therefore, John Kerry lost the 2004 Presidential Election to a stupid idiot.


Ergo the better man is always the one who won. Wonderful insight. Very wise.

Tom, Bush has a few smart and evil people telling him what to do. I think we all originally thought that person was Dick Cheney, now...I'm not so sure. But I think there is a general consensus from most people in this country that Bush couldn't lead his way out of bag (proven by his lack of action when he found out about the attack on 9/11). Everyone knows he's mindless little puppet. A puppet tool.

Scrotis:

Thanks for your reply, quick but not swift.

You are a) too full of yourself, as manifested by your blowhard, hasty opinions, and b) in dire need of getting over your tendency to shoot off your mouth, only to have to backtrack and correct yourself and do a little shuffle about the points you are "really trying to make," as you say, but never seem to make in the first 15 or so attempts.

If, in whatever work you do, your communications are anywhere near as poor as they are on these boards and your logic and thought anywhere near that amateurish, you would be well advised to try to brush up your resume.

And the word you used was "Aristoleanish." A quick survey of current dictionaries says that your word is not used on this planet.

In my never humble opinion.

Alleygater:

I guess you're right. "Aristo-whatever" it was that SLK wrote sounds like something but it isn't.

That's just like the President's intention to stand fast in Iraq until the Iraqis can govern themselves. It sounds like a plan, but it isn't. That's what is not cute about the intention.

One point that Alleygater makes above concerns the 9/11 awful frozen stillness of President Bush, documented on film and by attending staff and reporters, after Andy Card told him that America was under attack.

His 7 minutes of paralysis ("where's Cheney? what's he going to tell me to do? who has my favorite pillow? oh, keeee-rist, if ever I needed a drink or a hit, it's right now.") speak more negatives about his leadership skills and instincts for stepping up to the plate than any photo op with rescue workers and a megaphone at the WTC site.

There are many examples of his deplorable lack of leadership. What's bizarre is that so many Americans see him as a good leader, better than others. It's as if they have black-is-white and up-is-down delusions.
