I'm surprised Cheney didn't have those five deferments destroyed long, long ago -- must have been an intelligence oversight.
"At a press conference somebody finally stood up to Bush ... a bird sh*t on him. Here's what is wrong with this man: he looked at it, and then wiped it off with his bare hand! And this is the guy who doubts that he descended from an ape." --Bill Maher

Jeb and South Korea
Jeb Bush, a former
Florida governor and the younger brother of U.S. President George W. Bush, will
visit South Korea this week at the invitation of Ryu Jin, chairman of the
Poongsan Corp., company officials said Sunday.
Bush, 54, is scheduled to meet top executives of the Korea International Trade
Association and the heads of local governments on Thursday to discuss ways to
enhance relations between the two countries, said Poongsan officials.
Poongsan is a leading South Korean producer of fabricated copper and copper
alloys.

Destroying the Intelligence Officer
Of course Valerie Plame
Wilson was undercover. Of course her status was covert. Working in her division
within something called the CIA, those were the odds. But try telling that to
the rightwing noise machine...On January 1, 2002, Valerie Plame Wilson worked
for CIA as an operations officer in the Directorate of Operations (DO). “She was
assigned to the Counterproliferation Division (CPD) at CIA Headquarters,
where
she served as the chief of a CPD component with responsibility for weapons
proliferation issues related to Iraq.”

The Torture Continues
As the Bush administration completes
secret new rules governing interrogations, a group of experts advising the
intelligence agencies are arguing
that the harsh techniques used since the 2001 terrorist attacks
are outmoded, amateurish and unreliable.
"The Iraq funding bill that set a date for troop withdrawal, that's all gone by the wayside. The Democrats just backed down, as they always do, but they did it with flare this time. They met on an aircraft carrier and they had a big banner that said, 'Mission Abandoned!'" --Bill Maher

Cheney Celebrates Last Throes
On May 30, 2005, Vice President Cheney declared that the insurgency in Iraq was in its “last throes” and predicted “the level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline.”
But, once again, we were sucked into a phony controversy about who said what and how it hurts George Bush's feelings. Because when you hurt George Bush, you hurt America's feelings; and when you hurt America's feelings, you hurt the troops. And when that happens, Tinker Bell's light goes out and she dies. - Bill Maher
