		<description>&lt;p&gt;It’s definitely time to put the Congressional Republicans on the spot. They have to admit to supporting this bullcrap or they have to impeach and convict the whole lot of ‘em in the White House. If they can’t do that then they should be publicly denounced and trashed at every opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Somebody HAS got to go, Bush &amp; Co or Congressional Repubs.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Which is why I am hoping with my whole heart that Al Gore enters the race officially.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After today, you can forget about it. Sadly Al Gore III, the vice-president’s son was busted with X*n*x, Add*r*ll, Marijuana and IIRC other drugs. Possibly drunk driving. I heard this on the Ed Schultz radio show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;~~~&lt;em&gt;ModNote: Content edited to clear filters.&lt;/em&gt;~~~&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i don’t think that should have much of an impact on al &amp; tipper’s decision as to whether he should run.  his son isn’t the one that would be seeking the presidency.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;bush was arrested for drunk driving &amp; went awol while serving in the military &amp; that didn’t seem to stop people from voting for him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THEN EVER AL (&amp; TIPPER) GORE&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;So, on Monday we learn that Bush takes several minutes out of his busy, busy day to commute the sentence of Scooter Libby, a former member of his elite Washington inner circle. This followed within hours of a circuit court ruling that little Libby should start serving prison time for his lying and obstructing justice charges.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, contrast this with what USA Today reported on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marines in Anbar Province in Iraq in February 2005 sent an URGENT REQUEST to Donald Rumsfeld (Pentagon) and the White House asking for up-armored, better-designed vehicles to protect them from roadside bombs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bush and his crony Republican architects of the Iraq War, like Libby, blew off this URGENT REQUEST, thus signing the death warrants for over 700 of our soldiers over in Iraq, soldiers who might still be alive today if this URGENT REQUEST had been honored and responded to in 2005…instead of Gates, Rumsfeld’s replacement, announcing that the Pentagon was finally going to place an order for these improved vehicles for our military now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can anyone spell criminal negligence? This is what should be the epitaph of the Bush administration.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And besides the 700  U.S. soldiers lives that could have been saved if anyone had listened to their URGENT REQUEST in early 2005, how many of our soldiers have been severely injured by IEDs in the past 2 1/2 years, while the Pentagon sat on this URGENT REQUEST and did nothing?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And based on the current make-up of the U.S. military, over 50 percent of these U.S. soldiers killed or maimed due to the utter incompetence of the Bush administration were probably Republican, and their surviving family members possibly Republican, too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In other words, even “loyal Bushie” Republicans aren’t safe from the utter incompetence and criminal negligence of the Bush administration.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;idjit bush could have just let him go to jail and denounce any and all claims to the “truth” he made, more of the same. Its what they do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, and thank you mr. idjitking, bush hands us evidence of his own obstruction of justice (and insanity), plus lends serious credibilty to whatever scootie has on him. Stupidity at its finest. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love Jerilyn’s excavation of the terms of the “supervised release”…. We could see our Paris hilton moment in the cruiser from scootie after all! All eyes on scootie!!! I vote for ankle bracelet myself! ;-D&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought it meant probabtion, but supervised released, better! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Congress needs to grab ahold of this and run bushco et al. out of town with it. If not now, when?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a quick reminder about Texas:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Bush’s only death row pardon was given to…confessed serial killer, satanist and cannibal, Henry Lee Lucas.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, now that was a Professional courtesy from one Satanist to another.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I hope the Congressional Hearings shine the light of day on this and the media gives it fair coverage. Libby got pre-sprung because Bush and Cheney were afraid he would squeel and for no other reason. This is obstruction of justice.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
