&lt;p&gt;Docs from the Cheney Energy Task Force meeting; in which he told us to fuck off when asked about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’d say that whole Iraq thing? Yep. It’s for oil.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                62              &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-546312&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;GSD @ 25&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;David Gergen: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“This is an administration that has been &lt;b&gt;mostly&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;free of scandal&lt;/b&gt; over the last six years and now they have the taint that they cannot erase. It has damaged this White House, and I think it’s damaged the Republican prospects for 2008 in taking the White House and keeping it.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gergen must be getting some kind weed shipped in from Canada or something to think like that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-GSD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gergen lives under a rock; what do you expect?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gergen must have doctor shopped to get the necessary multiple prescriptions for Medicinal marijuana it took to make THAT STATEMENT!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Massive nepotism! Phony reporter gien WH credentials who happens to be a homosexual prostitute. CIA Director has to lie about his role in CYA the President’s misstatements re. Iraq’s nuclear ambitions. Stove-piping intelligence and accepting bogus intel from pro-Iranian exiles to get the US to fight Saddaam. The selling of the government to Republican “Pioneers” and the massive  largesse to religious right via unauditted and unsupervised “charity movements” (while closing down PRIVATELY SUPPORTED Muslim charities who have better financial recordkeeping!), Allowing Freddie-Mac and Fannie Mae to offer mortgages based on variable interest loans to families which pay as much as 50% of the monthly income just to cover their payments. The ongoing slaughter in Iraq…with the admission that troops were never trained for a civil war…but there were no plans for the aftermath in Iraq, anyways. Katrina! The replacement CIA Director has to step down after hiring as his #2 a man caught up in bribery/prostitution for favors scandals. The elimination of Constitutional rights at every turn…from habeas corpus, to the hundreds of illegal vetos (Presidential signing statements), to illegal wiretaps and computer surveillance, to forced renditions and torture.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, not any evidence of a scandal in this administration, Mr. Gergen!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think this may must have had an intestinal tract by-pass operation replacing his carotid arteries with his lower intestine. Gergen obviously has S*** for brains!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Just a note to remind everyone that Fitz’s current assignment, already underway with jury selection in Chicago, is the trial of Conrad Black and several associates on eight counts of criminal fraud, obstruction of justice, and racketeering. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fitz is apparently just supervising a team of four assistant attorneys through this case, but it should be worth watching. For updates I’d usually refer people to the Globe and Mail, but there is an excellent background summary in today’s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.canada.com/nati nalpost/financialpost/story.html?id=4c106268-00dd-4664-8470-8f57fa1aee07&amp;k=55326&quot;&gt;National Post&lt;/a&gt; (a paper Black founded).&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I always tell people who talk to me on the phone to stop right there if any mention of violence comes up.  I remind them that republicans are so much better at this than members of the Democratic Party.  Any discussion of violent left tactics  only verifies and supports the violent right tactics.&lt;br /&gt;
The left will be the victims if our politics desends into chaos.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Daniel Schorr is now busy sticking up for Libby on Npr calling him the “fall guy”.  What a bunch of hogwash..they all have blood on their hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I remember when I used to look forward to Daniel Schorr.  But in the last few years, I feel sick every time I hear him.  I don’t know what happened, but I know it isn’t me because my politics have not changed all that much.  It is as if he suddenly joined a cult and quickly memorized a new religion.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;“Truth is the engine of our judicial system”  Fitz.  And then Libby is pardoned.  so much for truth and justice.  So much for the hype about no one being above the law.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This weekend is the Aipac conference.  Our reps will be getting hammered by Aipac this week and next.  PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REPS AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO WANT A MORE BALANCED AND HONEST POLICY IN REGARD TO THE PALESTINIANS AND THE ISRAELI/PALESTINIAN CONFLICT.  MENTION ISRAEL ABIDING BY UN RESOLUTION 242 AND ISRAEL SIGINING THE NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY THAT THEY DEMAND THAT THEIR NEIGHBORS ABIDE BY.&lt;br /&gt;
CALL YOUR REPS&lt;/p&gt;</description>
