		<description>&lt;p&gt;Family Values - Truth &amp; Honesty&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bush “30,000 civilian deaths”, Bush’s General Stooge “50,000 civilian deaths”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Possible Explanations for the difference;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Good O’l Bush Faith Based values = 400,000 - 950,000 must be Muslims who do not count in the Bush Church.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Bush meant in the last few months there were 30,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Bush Stupid defense, they don’t teach no cyphering at Harvard or Yale.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Bush Amnesia defense, I don’t remember seeing any other number.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Bush See No Evil defense, yes men ( &amp; women ) don’t bring any bad news to the Decider.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. Bush to busy defense, busy catching up on the 472 additional Abramoff visits to the white house, since he only knew of 13 or less visits.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-334630&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ed*ard Teller @ 97&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The site punaise is referring to is egregious’s favorites at actblue:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.actblue.com/page/egregious&quot;&gt;http://www.actblue.com/page/egregious&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;oops, I went directly through Benson’s website. sorry, egregious…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not a problem! Glad to have your support.  My actblue page is also good for contributions to future Senator Jim Webb, plus Dan Walz, that guy in Minnesota whose ad we all loved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to my guys Kissell NC-08 and Laesch IL-14, but they can be reached here thru BlueAmerica, top of the fdl page.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;What about Conrad Burns? Shouldn’t he be in the Hall of Shame? When is he going to dragged off in handcuffs? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I live for that day!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;lhp - not the Red Cross, a sergeant working as a paralegal assistent to Colby Volkey, who has been representing one of the ten charged at GITMO.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Sarge is a she and it seems the guys at the table didn’t realize she was working for a defense JAG counsel when they decided to regale her with tales.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Red Cross isued a statement today saying they had shareed their findings with apprpriot people in the military.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe both things set it off. Or just the one&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It seems to me that Secret Agent Man, Porter Goss, deserves at least “honorable mention” on the list.  Dubya’s hand picked CIA Director did resign in a hurry (and under a cloud)if my memory is correct.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;If only they could find the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/id/2144590/&quot;&gt;missing videotape&lt;/a&gt; it just might help that IG.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What a shame, I know everyone looked so hard. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baker was hospitalized for brain trauma, given a medical discharge, and continues to suffer from regular seizures. The videotape of the training exercise was lost. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An Army Physical Evaluation Board concluded that Baker’s injuries and disabilities were due to the beating and gave its report to Baker. Yet 18 months later, Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Laurie Arellano told reporters that Baker’s medical discharge was not related to his duties in the military. When Baker released the Army Board’s statement, Arellano conceded that the beatings were a factor in Baker’s discharge, stating that she had new information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the course of the investigation by Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, Army Major Anthony Cavallaro testified, “What bothered me most about what happened at Abu Ghraib was that no soldier came forward and said this is wrong.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gosh, soldier’s like that have a bright shiney future as DOJ lawyers.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Keep Rep. Mark Foley in mind and consider this: RawStory.com is reporting that Rep. Chris Shays (R-Stupid City) is now saying the Abu Graib scandal was about sex and not torture and it was all the idea of the national guardsmen (and women).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Heh, they just can’t get kinky sex off their brains.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It behooves somebody in the press to ask some of those guardsmen to clarify whether it was about sex or if somebody ordered them to soften-up those prisoners for interrogation and maybe provided some ideas of how to do it. After all, I can’t imagine them having all that much sex fun without somebody in the Republican administration getting in on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yep, Family Values, that’s what it’s all about!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Where the hell did Oreilly come from anyway?&lt;br /&gt;
I never heard of the A-hole until a few years ago&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The depths of Mordor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
