With each revelation regarding the Bush Administration I can’t help but wonder when mainstream Republicans will reach the tipping point? How much corruption, illegalities and lies are they going to defend? Every day when I read the days headlines and surf the Blogs I think this has got to be the day.
Just look at a few of today’s articles:
Bush 'plotted to lure Saddam into war with fake UN plane'
Bush to Request $439.3B Defense Budget
Blair-Bush deal before Iraq war revealed in secret memo PM promised to be 'solidly behind' US invasion with or without UN backing
Iraq, Niger, And The CIA
These two are particularly pathetic so I will include a clip:

WASHINGTON — One day after President Bush vowed to reduce America's dependence on Middle East oil by cutting 75% of imports from there by 2025, his energy secretary and national economic adviser said yesterday that the president didn't mean it literally.
Bush Urges Confidence in His Leadership
President Bush said Wednesday he understands why the nation he has led for five years has become more anxious, and he urged people to have confidence in him.
How confident in his leadership can we be when the day after his most important speech in a year, they have to issue a clarification. How long before Bush just starts claiming he never said it?
It is only a matter of time before Bush's supporters start jumping ship. I wonder what will be the final straw?

I don't know what the final straw will be, but it will look something like this:
Nice roundup!
ReplyDeleteBased on the news following the SOTU, the customary bounce in the president's popularity looks like it will be be more like a bean bag than a super ball!
That last straw bit is a riot. I haven't laughed out loud in awhile.
