more disturbing shit.
first, there's this:DENVER -- Focus on the Family founder James Dobson said new Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito sent him a thank-you letter for support during his Senate confirmation hearings.
uhhhh... are you fucking kidding me? why do i suddenly feel like i've been double-cut in the lunch line?
and then there's this:In a letter, Rep. Henry Waxman of California called on Bush to explain his role in the award of the "lucrative contract," which was given to the Florida-based company without a full competitive bid process. The e-mails Waxman released were provided to Congress by Michael Brown, former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
The Carnival Cruise Lines contract has turned out to be enormously expensive," Waxman wrote to Gov. Bush, the president's younger brother. "The e-mails from Mr. Brown provide the first confirmation of your involvement in the award of this contract and the first details of your contacts with Carnival and FEMA."
...
According to Waxman, Bush forwarded to Brown, then the FEMA director, an e-mail from a Carnival advertising executive proposing that the company's ships be used for housing two days after the Aug. 29 storm.
The Carnival official, Ric Cooper, has been a major political donor to the Florida and national Republican parties, including $65,000 to the state GOP in 2002, and $50,00 to the RNC in 2004, Waxman said.
these are the same people that scream at election time that they want to stop wasting tax payers' money, cut taxes, give you back your money, yadda yadda yadda.
however, in the case of a national, natural disaster... woohoo! it's like christmas!
third, allow me to remind you to trust your government, unconditionally:At that [court] appearance, Gonzales confined his comments to the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program, saying that President Bush had authorized it "and that is all that he has authorized."
which... doesn't really matter. because the man was never sworn in. you know, national security an' all that...But in yesterday's letter, Gonzales, citing that quote, wrote: "I did not and could not address . . . any other classified intelligence activities."
uh. wtf does that mean? and why do you have to lie? why do you have to say "and that is all that he authorized"? i mean, just don't talk about it instead of fucking lying to congress, you dooshbag.
and finally... we have this:WASHINGTON Federal officials warned President Bush and his homeland security chief of possible devastation just before Hurricane Katrina struck.
Six days of video footage from briefings and transcripts were obtained by The Associated Press.
The warnings were that the storm could breach levees, risk lives in the New Orleans Superdome and overwhelm rescuers.
no bullshit. watch for yourself.
