Saturday News Stories

Today has been a slow news day so here are few stories to take to bed with you.

Apparently good ol' Dick Cheney was a client of the DC Madam, which is just creepy. Is it possible that Dick has feelings? Can his heart, or what ever machine his doctors have implanted, handle him getting a rise? Actually the American public should be interested in hearing about Dick's shenanigans. But does anyone want to know that he was having sex or even that someone would touch him. Ewwwww. What position did Dick take:



Speaking of integrity, Alberto Gonzales seems to have confidence that all the hearings and public outcry is not going to result in his firing, being asked to resign by the White House, or a possible impeachment. He never ceases to amaze in his arrogance. Mr. I-Do-Not-Recall seems to think that his unethical behavior has gotten him through the storm. His selfishness has caused the Department of Justice to lose confidence with the American people. He needs to resign and do what is best for the United States. His inability to recall information, meetings that he was involved in, decisions that he made show at a minimum that he is not a manager or leader because he does not know how to take responsibility for his own actions and ownership for the problems over at the DOJ. The question is - Why is Bushie keeping him on board? Dubya's refusal to do what is right for the United States and to admit when things are bad never ceases to amaze.

Apparently the Senator who loves those Storm Thurmond values is angry at the 11 senators who staged a Bush intervention. The public is grateful for that intervention - Bush needs to be put on a 10 step program. However, Trent Lott thinks differently. According to the Minority Whip (yeah yeah stop laughing at the irony) those Congressmen should have kept their mouth shut. But senator isn't that what they have been doing the entire time Bush has occupied the oval office? Apparently Lott did not get the memo from the American people that we expect our representatives to disclose there activities. After all they were voted in by the American people and represent the American people.

And speaking of interventions, Dick seriously needs his head examined. Here is a transcript from his latest interview, with you guessed it Fox, where the questions were pre-screened.

Not sure if Hillary Clinton should be believed, but law students should love this. She is promising to make higher education more affordable and to take on those pesky predatory lending companies that provide those student loans. Does anyone believe her?

And for those with grandparents, ill family members, or yourself - the members of Congress do not work for you they work for big industry. Check out this story about how much your representative got from the pharmaceutical companies - it is sickening. Apparently the 2006 election did not send the right message or they were unable to understand what it meant. So in 2008 they need to get the message loud and clear as they are thrown out of Congress in November 2008.

Well apparently Giuliani is doing something that Bush is not - he is letting those red staters who keep selecting Bush know that they are not part of the GOP base. Apparently Giuliani only meets with those who make more than $1 million dollars. Guess he is going to lose the Iowa vote and some other red states. Serves those red staters right - the blue kept telling the red that they were being used.

And for the third Cheney story, Kucinich's impeachment bill just got a co-sponsor. Dick is getting mad, real mad. He may go shoot another friend in his face. Poor Dick wonder if he is going to go to a undisclosed location until January 2009 - probably not he is too honery for that.

Finally, if Dubya and the do-nothing Republicans are so into protecting the United States and National Security is their priority. They love to brag how there has not been an attack since 9/11 then is this necessary. Does this not make it seem that the "administration" may be letting things slip through the cracks again - such as not reading security briefs that say "Bin Laden determined to attack."
