The big three networks seem to have found religion. Bush-bashing religion, but faith nonetheless. ABC’s "Good Morning America" and "Nightline" highlighted Mayan "spiritual leaders" who protested a visit by President Bush to Guatemala.
The two shows focused on the "evil spirits" that the President supposedly brought and worried that the Commander in Chief has "angered the gods." NBC’s "Today" noted the protesters plans to "purify" the site and featured a demonstrator who chanted "Gringo go home."
This week, NewsBusters told you what the rest of the media won’t: While the Bush White House played a roll in the dismissal of eight U.S. Attorneys, Bill Clinton fired all 93 attorneys at the beginning of his first term.
On "Good Morning America," host George Stephanopoulos, who was a Clinton spokesman in 1993 and defended the then-President’s firing, hypocritically grilled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for firing 85 fewer attorneys.
By way of comparison, CNN described the 1993 firings as a "clean sweep." Times certainly do change.
On the celebrity front, Bill Maher asserted that Republicans "love Ronald Reagan in a way that’s just gay" and claimed that the troops have a "dysfunctional, abusive relationship" with President Bush.
Finally, Rosie O’Donnell greeted terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed’s confession of plotting 9/11 by fretting over whether he was tortured.

Of course, the airhead broa
March 17, 2007 - 12:18 ET by daveinbocaOf course, the airhead broadcast nitwits don't recall that these same Mayan priests used to carve out the beating hearts of still-living victims before throwing their bodies down the pyramids constructed by autocratic tyrants. Had they seen Apocalypto, they might have had an inkling, but they are selected for massive ignorance, looks, and shiny teeth. And Apocalypto is on their Index of Forbidden Looks.
It is so pathetic to watch pinheads like Vieira, Sawyer [who actually knows better, but parrots the party lines], Lauer prate and prattle about subjects they know nothing about, sort of like high-school dropout Tom Cruise lecturing Lauer on psychiatry..
I wonder whether loud-mouth morons like Penn, Gere, et al actually have college degrees. Judging from Penn's Ridgemont High type education, High School didn't do much for these imbeciles' mental development!!
Also, watched a balanced FoxNEWS interview of Victoria Toensing last night where she did not even accuse Plame of lying under oath, only of double-talk. Then switched over to K Olber and saw a fraud dressed in black named Larry Johnson call Toensing a "twit" and asked what she knew about covert. And of course, lyin' KO didn't remind imposter Larry Blackbird Johnson that Toensing actually WROTE the frigging law. That would be knowledge, which is forbidden on MSNBC between 8-9PM EST.
Thank you President Bush
March 17, 2007 - 12:48 ET by SportPoliticsI guess the partison peon idiot liberals more commonly known as democrati-ics are so stupid, that they prefer a solid 4 year political appointment with "no chance of being replaced" US Attourneys who can do whatever the heck they want for 4 years (that's democracy ?), instead of the reasonable - addressing the concerns of the public BUSH Administration that saw jerkoffs like Nifong and that left wing movie making wacko DA go after Tom Delay and decided that "kings for 4 years" should not be above " being fired " by their boss, the PRESIDENT of the United States.
How is it that the public debate is so stupid, so dumbed down, so ignorant, and so compartmentalized in the most ridiculous of notions and ways, that the entire press is filled with retards babbling like 3rd graders, missing the point entirely ?
We have seen prosecutorial disasters lately, and US Attourneys drive prosecutions as we well know or have now suddenly found out, and if 93 or however many US attourneys are " appointed for 4 years and can do no wrong and never be fired ", well then the American people ARE DUMB AS A ROCK.
I'd like to thank The Great and Honorable President Bush for noticing the prosecutorial nightmares we the people have been viewing in the sensationalized msm left wing lying media for a few years now - that have had high level targets, and taking action to clean up the US Attourneys pool, so We the People clearly see they are NOT above the law when President Bush oversees what is going on, and if they do a poor job, they are subject to that famous Trump phrase: " You're Fired ! "
Thank you Great and Honorable President Bush for being THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE ROOM !
ps- Don't mind the RETARDS below you (known as democrats and the msm press), your oversight of the US Attourneys IS GREATLY APPRECIATED since that class of the powerful we the people call "prosecutors" HAS BEEN WAY, WAY OUT OF HAND LATELY. Thanks for putting them in their place. Now,hopefully, after all the derangred morons are done baying at their own insane shadow, it will catch on and the REST OF THE NATION WILL TAKE OUT THE TRASH.
As usual EXCELLENT WORK Mr. President Bush.
We out here DEARLY HOPE your astute actions Mr. President -
CATCH ON AROUND THE ENTIRE NATION .
I suppose the first step for that would be for someone with more than 3 microwatts of brainpower to SPEAK UP FOR WE THE PEOPLE when they're on the jerkoff MSM babbling retards boobtube rebroadcast the refrain of wretched regalia.
very good, SP
March 17, 2007 - 13:05 ET by tumbler_2007Yeah, you nailed it. I might add; the Attorney General himself is honest and dependable, and those demanding his head are beneath contempt; since they know how shoddy an AG their harridan Janet Reno was; hounding children and burning down the Branch Davidian complex. Just to name two blatant atrocities. Speaking for myself, Alberto Gonsalez has handled himself with poise. He has nothing to apologize for; and never should have hinted at an apology. All of those leftist clowns ought to kiss his @ss !
The only reason for dismissin
March 18, 2007 - 03:08 ET by old croThe only reason for dismissing Alberto Gonzales would be for not prosecuting Sandy "In my pants" Burglar to the fullest extent of the law. That is, if he had a say in the matter?
"A plumber's idea of cleopatra."
WC Fields talking about Mae West
you must keep in mind
March 18, 2007 - 16:21 ET by tumbler_2007He (Gonzalez) has more than enough time to bring Sandy Burglar to justice. It's like holding an ace in the hole, saved for the right moment. Make that move just prior to settling the situation that's bothering 2008 voters --Iraq's stability.
Bush's administration then would pack 3 big punches going into the next presidential race: encouraging developments in Iraq, showcasing the Sandy Burglar scandal, and silencing the Democrat defeatists on the eve of our elections. The surge in Iraq is crucial for the GOP. That's what we have to focus on, not hearings in Congress or trials on display in the evening news. IMHO--
I have not followed this issue.
March 18, 2007 - 18:04 ET by misterbillI have not followed this issue. I am not qualified to pass judgment on any of it. I do hope, though that one of the lawyers fired was the one who prosecuted the border guards.
An ugly American is one who does not support his country.
we can find out if he was fired
March 18, 2007 - 22:11 ET by tumbler_2007I can't rightly say that the prosecutor of those two border agents is numbered among those 9 who were fired.
But if he has been fired, it shouldn't be on account of that case. The two border patrolmen who have gone to the pen are guilty as charged. They never would've been prosecuted if the actions they're found guilty of were legal. When you commit a crime it carries with it a penalty, according to the laws of our country.
They were NOT unjustly tried or convicted. But we have people here in NB, and many others on the Right who want them to get away with attempted murder; only because the man they attempted to kill was an illegal entrant into the United Staes. He was committiing a felony, Yes.
But he was UNARMED, no threat to the safety of those Border Patrol agents, and shot in the buttock. Clearly our men tried to get him in the back. They missed after firing 15 rounds at the fleeing suspect. They tampered with the evidence of their crime and submitted false written reports. Nobody should go free for this unjust act. They had their day in court. I know emotions in these matters run high; but nobody is above the law. If the Justice department fires an official for doing his job then we have no Justice dept. It's a deptartment of injustice.
