RUMSFELD: STILL BLAMING 9-11 ON SADDAM AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

DIGGING DEEPER
By Ivan Goldman
Rumsfeld's adherence to The Big Lie Tactic is, if nothing else, relentless. Here it is April of '06, and while recently necking with Rush on the Limbaugh show he was still trying to tie Saddam to the Nine-Eleven attacks. How many times does that bullshit have to be discredited? It's like asking how many times do you have to give more Lebensraum to the Third Reich before it lets you alone? The numerical answer is the same -- infinity. I'd quote from the interview, but I can't bear to look at his words anymore. Trust me. I guarantee it's a safer bet than trusting Rumsfeld.

In that same interview we learned from raging Rummy that anyone who wants him out of there is doing Bin Laden's work. You know what? Even if he'd been a success, even if his cockamamie ideas proved true and we'd found all kinds of nukes and nerve gas in the palaces and a letter from Bin Laden thanking Saddam for all the help with the you know what, and even if we'd created a shining light of a democracy in Iraq with no muss or fuss and paid for it with Iraq's own oil, and then Rummy were to make that remark linking dissent to treason -- the man would have to go. But not only is this twisted geek not a success, the guy couldn't put together a cold salad without burning down the entire neighborhood -- and then denying anything went wrong.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS PRESIDENT SMIRKY WILL SEND U.S. MARSHALS TO ARREST HIMSELF?

DIGGING DEEPER
By Ivan Goldman

This particular intelligence leak now connected to President Smirky by Libby, Cheney’s Number One pack mule, was not routine -- not comparable to typical intelligence leaks from previous administrations -- although that’s what the administration will tell us. And Mr. and Mrs. Livingroom, fed the usual shockingly deficient crap by the shockingly deficient big media, will probably give him a pass on this one.

This was a leak of tainted intelligence in order to contradict the truth told by whistle-blowing Wilson, who confirmed that Smirky personally peddled disproved information to the public to justify his war. It wasn’t a leak that could have helped the country in any way. It was a leak to screw a truth-teller and assist Smirky in screwing the country with his cockamamie war in Iraq.

The media will have a hard time getting these nuances across to the public, particularly because the biggest of the big media can be relied upon to not even try. Diligent journalists have gradually been replaced by these shmucks over the last couple generations as corporations bought out newspapers and administered drug tests to new employees.

Meanwhile, notice that Condoleeza doesn’t scowl as much at everybody now -- classic bully behavior when victims finally fight back. She’s also tried out a new White House fallback position to be opened in an emergency -- when calling questioners traitors stops working altogether. We can’t judge the wisdom of the Iraq invasion for generations, she tells us. Hmm. I don’t recall any Republicans applying that rule to Clinton's blowjobs.

HOW ABOUT HIRING UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS TO REPORT ON THE WHITE HOUSE?

DIGGING DEEPER
By Ivan Goldman
It was reported in print this morning that Bush, according to his indicted pal Libby, leaked classified material in an attempt to counter Wilson's revelation that he lied about Saddam's phantom nuke utensils purchase in Niger. Bush, of course, is the guy who promised to go after anyone who leaked classified material. Then in the White House briefing today, not one reporter asked one question about this bombshell of a story.

But is anyone surprised? Reporters have had years to ask the White House about the Haliburton-Cheney connection. Cheney hides, so they let it go. If he stopped hiding, they’d probably still let it go. Forget about his shooting a guy. He’s a war profiteer who owns tons of stock in his old company, which has been caught so many times cheating and fabricating items it never delivered to our forces in Iraq that it’s no longer even news. The fact that the Pentagon pays it anyway is also not news. The fact that it still gets more Pentagon contracts in terms of dollars than all the other U.S. companies in Iraq is also not news. Think somebody at Haliburton knows somebody? Maybe. Hard to say. American 'reporters' never ask about it. We'd probably be better off if corporations, instead of hiring illegal migrants to pick lettuce and slaughter hogs, hired some of them to report U.S. news.
