“Uhhhhh…..”
From the files of More Stupid Shit About the Bush Administration You Just Can’t Make Up:
Appearing on National Public Radio’s light-hearted quiz show "Wait, Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me," which aired over the weekend, Perino got into the spirit of things and told a story about herself that she had previously shared only in private: During a White House briefing, a reporter referred to the Cuban Missile Crisis — and she didn’t know what it was.
"I was panicked a bit because I really don’t know about . . . the Cuban Missile Crisis," said Perino, who at 35 was born about a decade after the 1962 U.S.-Soviet nuclear showdown. "It had to do with Cuba and missiles, I’m pretty sure."
So she consulted her best source. "I came home and I asked my husband," she recalled. "I said, ‘Wasn’t that like the Bay of Pigs thing?’ And he said, ‘Oh, Dana.’ "
What exactly are the requirements for White House Press Secretary? I think the White House Press Corpse, once it’s finished sucking down those chili cocktail weenies, should pepper the briefings with history questions to keep the Press Secretary on her Manolo-ed toes.
Here are a few suggestions to get us started.
1. True or False: The Battle of the Bulge is a low-fat, low-carb diet plan.
2. True or False: Ben Bradlee had an illustrious career in publishing before he met Sally Quinn.
3. True or False: Josip Tito is one of the original Jackson 5.
4. True or False: Lorne Michaels was ultimately found guilty for the S&L scandal of the ’80s.
5. Who is G. Gordon Liddy:
(a) NASCAR driver
(b) Prime Minister of Andorra
(c) Foul-mouthed British chef
(d) All of the above.
6. True or False: You can find Kampuchea in the beverage aisle of your local health food store.
7. True or False: Henry Kissinger received a Nobel Prize for his plan to depose notorious totalitarian dictator, Salvador Dali.
8. Which movie dramatizes the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962?
(a) Twelve Monkeys
(b) Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
(c) 9 1/2 Weeks
(d) all of the above.
9. Finish this quote: "That is one small step for a man . . . "
(a) "but made for a woman."
(b) "touched for the very first time."
(c) "Who’s with me? Let’s go!"
(d) "so easy, a caveman could do it."
10. True or False: "The Manchurian Candidate" was a documentary.

Ooh! Zed!
Watertiger!
Dang, WT! Too many questions…! ;-)
True or False: Prescott Bush, Kommander Guy’s grandfather, tried to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt and replace him with a Fascist dictatorship.
The Stepford spokesmodel is an idiot. Shocking. Anyone with any intelligence would not be able to stand in front of the press and spout obvious lies and spin the way she does. Only when the brain is emptied of all intelligence and filled up with the glory that is GWB can she do her job effectively.
BTW, it was two years before I was born, but I learned about it, both in school and later on my own. It’s called education Dana-embrace it, it will set you free!
hey, y’all.
Poor Dana. Such hard kweschuns.
And she has a college degree from where? They must be very proud.
Tinkerbell. Fits right in with PeterPan Principle President and the Lost Boys.
11. Who said I am not a crook?
A. Clinton
B. Hillary Clinton
C. Jimmy Carter
C. Chelsea Clinton
I guess it’s easier to sneer down your nose at people when you don’t know a damn thing about anything.
Peroxide’s disrespect of Helen Thomas completely pissed me off… She has no morals…!
Would you stop hating on Dana? She looked like a million bucks today.
That’s hysterical.
Hard to believe that some one so stupid and incompetent is the spokesperson for the “leader of the free world”.
She couldn’t make it for the receptionist at a dentist office. (no offense to receptionists).
These people have no shame. How can she show her dumb face in public after those gaffs?
OK, made my night. Hi Suz!
Question: What will Dana be saying in her next job?
Answer: Do ya’ll want fries with that?
I was driving around doing errands when she was on WWDTM. I can’t decide whether I love or hate that program. She was way beyond blithe…
Those shoes! To die for!
Her non-answers speak volumes recently in her Pressers… !
Zackly! Manolos.
Yeah, but she looks cute with those natural blonde streaks in her stylish bob. She’s a woman after all, she’s not supposed to actually think, just repeat what she’s told to think. It’s easy!
An additional point. Dana Peroxide’s husband is British. And, presumably, learned about the Cuban Missile Crisis as part of his school history class on the Cold War. Because I did. At the age of 14.
11. The Bush Family fortune comes from:
a. Bush’s Beans
b. Prescott Bush’s pre-war deals with Hitler
c. OldBar Bush’s Dresser holdings that Dick Cheney scooped up into Halliburton just before the asbestos cases were filed against Dresser
d. L.L.Bush, the haberdasher
Q. What kind of pastry did JFK say he was, and where did he say it? Oh, and who was JFK?
Too bad MSNBC hasn’t put Matthews comment about Miss Cutie-Pie on Hardball tonight. Priceless. And dead on.
Why did she publically admit her grotesque ignorance? Did she think it would seem cute?
and no brains, taste, credibility, gravitas, sense of the world around her, respect for her elders, respect for the America people etc etc etc.
yes
Re-ow.
Look, I don’t know what you people are talking about. I mean, it’s a pretty damn obscure crisis, that Cuban Missile thingy.
A jelly doughnut! “I’m a fuckin’ doughnut!”

“I am a doughnut.” John F. Izzard
Here’s my suggestions:
1) For how many months had serial adulterer Newt Gingrich secretly been screwing his then-mistress Calista Bisek when he started to impeach Bill Clinton over trying to hide an affair that had ended nearly a year earlier?
AND:
2) After divorcing his second wife Marianne over the phone, Newt tried to please his Catholic bride and third wife Calista Bisek by getting a Catholic bishop to annul his second marriage so she wouldn’t be a homewrecker in the eyes of the Church. Are either Newt or Marianne Roman Catholics?
I love Eddie Izzard more than life itself.
True or False?
The mainstream media are trying to discredit our victory in Iraq by saying there was no reason to take out Saddam. But Oliver North knows better.
for the love of Regnery
There is no entry for “Dana Perrino” in Wikipedia!
Someone who knows how to create articles on Wiki should go there and create a good one!
Haters.
Perino — one arrrrrrr.
Try this.
She probably pays more for those natural streaks than I spend on groceries in a month. Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Newt is not a catholic. He went to my baptist church in NOLA will attending Tulane. Was baptized there. The preacher said he didn’t think he held him under long enough.
Oops. I misspelled “Perino.”
Does that qualify me to be White House Press Secretary?
Just when you were well and truly sick and tired of dumb blonde jokes, in comes Dana Perino.
yes there is and it’s funny:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_Perino
Imagine me and a Baptist Preacher having something in common.
SPEW! Snorting wine is not a pleasant experience, just so you know.
No entry cause there is no there there. I fully expect her photo at the top of this page to start fading as we speak.
You MISSpelled her name.
Look out MM! Even more tix have been released to Hawai’i, sounds like a large contingent are headed to NOLA!
I much preferred Patrick Fitzgerald’s appearance on WWDTM.
Dr. Avery Lee is an amazing man. The church is now full of gay folk. A liberal baptist church.
Dana, of how many felonies was Oliver North convicted?
Gah, she’s got a master’s degree! Which just goes to show that some people can have all the book learning in the world and still not have sense enough to come in out of the rain.
the answer (to all your questions) from thereisnospoon:
I read they went with the lower package, then those went like hotcakes and they went back for more. How’s the traveling problems working out?
Ya mean pardoned of… Right? ;-)
I love the way they can’t make her sweat even as she puts the lies out there. It’s a real skill. Why, her forehead barely wrinkles when she lies.
True or False: The Constitution of the United States is just a goddamned piece of paper.
Or thst she can obviously lack-book learning and still have no sense.
I see by her Wiki entry that Dana enjoyed pub quizzes while living in England. Hope she didn’t have to answer any current affairs questions!
I need the hat passed around for the portage fees… ;-)
NO kidding? Maybe that’s why he never speaks at the megachurch I work at. They have seminary big wigs and local ministers pinch hit from time to time just to spice things up a bit.
And she studied Poli Sci too. Reganomics?
She and Katie Couric, I took one listen/look and can’t even stomach a second.
Ms. Lying Sack of Cute, can you tell me how many times Rita Jenrette had sex with her Congressman husband John on the Capital steps during a break in an all-night session?
She must have skipped class when they were teaching about the Cuban Sandwich Crisis. It was the same day they were handing out brains.
CTuttle, North wan’t pardoned…3 convictions, overturned on technicalities during appeal.
Botox
True or False: The Mexican border pays rent.
How shall we wire the funds? If you’re out in the middle of the ocean it’s not like you can get Western Union.
Wasn’t it because he couldn’t properly defend himself because most of it was wrapped up in the ‘State Secrets’ BS…? ;-)
I’m sure Panama City has one… ;-)
He has his masters from Yale. Not your typical southern minister.
from the wiki:
While attending the university, Perino was active on the debate team…
Perino is widely credited with the “am not!!”, “are too!!” gambit which is still practiced widely to this day.
Q. Now that “Scooter” Libby has dropped his appeal, and thus there is no longer any “ongoing investigation” or legal proceedings, is President Bush prepared to explain why he commuted Scooter’s sentence (when he had said he would not tolerate leakers) and whether it had anything to do with keeping Scooter quiet about Bush’s and Cheney’s crimes?
Damned activist judges.
Where do they get off, lettin’ convicted criminals walk free? Boy, I wish we had someone in the White House who would put real law and order types on the bench, to put an end to this.
Why, if you let off someone like North, it’s just going to be a slippery slope, and there’s no telling what the next crook in the White House might do.
/snark
True or False: The Gulf of Tonkin is the name of the lake at Hogwart’s.
Wrapped up like a dead fish.
How very handy that must have been for him.
No, the appeals court said the testimony he had been immunized for in his Congressional testmony was improperly used against him in his criminal trial. No question of his actual guilt.
I actually tried to read about Dana for a minute there, and then decided that I didn’t care…
Ain’t that the truth! Ours went to Auburn *spit* for undergrad and then to the NOLA seminary for his doctorate.
My grandmother used to take me out to the seminary. I think she was hoping god stuff would rub off on me. Didn’t.
True or false: Iran Contra was about a squabble with the Shah.

True, how else can you explain that Resolution’s bewitching sway…
Went there this summer for a seminar, very creepy. In a dicey part of town, big gated fence all around to protect the virtue of the inmates, I mean students.
Good evening dear friends.
True or False: The Battle of the Bulge was what the White House Chef called Hillarys’ diet?
True or False: The Watergate scandal resulted in the firing of the White House chef.
Hey Betsy! Enjoying the visiting relatives?
I did madmom. Wrote a note about it on fb, but I can say here that it was a great visit and they got along better with Cass than ever before.
Ok, Dana, multiple choice: The USS Liberty was-
A) An old wooden ship commanded by John Paul Jones.
B) The ship commanded by Ronald Reagan during World War 2.
C) The Federation Starship commanded by Chekov.
D) A US Navy ship bombed, strafed, and torpedoed by Israel in 1967.
True or False: The “Watergate Scandal” was about the outrageous amount of rent they charged Condoleezza Rice to live there?
True or False: Stem cell research is an ag program for rose industry.
Hey! Don’t knock Panama City!

True or False: Manuel Noriega is a form of kinky masturbation.
I love the program.
They really do not pretend to take the moral high ground – just diss those who are good targets.
Usually that is teh stoopid.

Ha! You are on fire, where have I ever had so much snark?
Yes, and they’ve invited her to visit during the summer and see NYC.
You are too kind.
E) The dawn of time
Cool, a neat trip and she can spread her wings a bit. Seems like she mentioned once she’s never been out of Texas. Travel does expand ones mind and experiences.
Uh oh, How’re ya gonna keep her down on the farm, after seeing the lights of Times Square…? ;-)
True or False, Dana…Three Mile Island is a Golf and Country Club with a glowing reputation.
True or False: The Bay of Pigs is the world’s largest beachside barbecue.
True or False: The Bush Presidential Library will be named the McLibrary.
Maybe Dana Pre-natal will discover this bit of info while researching Bay of Pigs at Wikipedia. There’s an interesting quote she might want to pass on to her boss:
The CIA was initially confident it was capable of overthrowing Castro, having experience assisting in the overthrow of other foreign governments such as the government of Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 and Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán in 1954.
How has that Iran medling worked out for us exactly? And let’s not forget Saddam Hussein and many others! “Regime change” rarely seems to work out very well for the U.S., does it? Dana, shhh…pass it on…
And on that note, why do we even have a C.I.A? That questions also makes for some interesting reading at Wiki.
Ya’ll are hitting them out of the park tonight. And the sad part is Dana wouldn’t get a passing grade if these questions were compiled into a written test.
True or False AD NAG is a comedic genius?!

True or False: Ronald Reagan pulled down the Berlin wall with his own mighty thews.
George W. Bush’s military service record is:
A. Spotless

I’m probably going to have to wait for widowhood to travel to the places I want to see-London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Spain. Just can’t drive there and the hubby will not fly. Ah well…
or Tennessee Tuxedo’s sidekick.
What is a thew?
Actually, some Germans say that the citizens of Berlin did refer to themselves as “Berliners”. But everywhere else in West Germany it was a “jelly doughnut”.
Which brings up a very dangerous conversation that could have strayed badly into a horrible diplomatic faux pas down at Crawford.
Bush was barbequeing up some typical weekend fare…Frankfurters and Hamburgers when he asked German Prime Minister Merkel if she wanted a Hamburger. Merkel misheard Bush and responded “Hamburg? Yes I was born there”.
Bush said something like “You are a Hamburger? Mmmmm…. “
(whisper from a nearby staffer in his ear “Mr. President no dirty jokes”)
“…I meant the food we are cooking. What do you want on it? Pickles?”
Q. How many Republicans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A. Three, if the light bulb is big enough.
How many combat missions did fighter pilot Lt. George Bush fly?
A. None, but he would have volunteered if all any slots were available.
B. None, but duty called him to serve in the Alabama Air National Guard.
C. None, because he was so coked up he couldn’t pass the physical.
D. None, and Dan Rather is an unpatriotic scumbag for mentioning this.
I saw it the moment I was born. Things have changed here in the big apple. Roodi got rid of the windsheild cleaners. We safer now.

All of the above.
And a note along these lines to both Digby and Chris Bowers: quit invoking a corny old Tim Russert/Chris Matthews meme about Sister Souljah, especially if you can’t muster the memory, the Public Enemy fandom, or the search skills to spell “Souljah” correctly.
It makes you read worse than Tweety and Pumpkinhead sound.
And you look dumber than Dana Perino in a bag of hammers.
Not so fast….
Have you verified she knows how to spell her name?
She may fly up north with her cousin this summer and spend a week with my parents, an hour or so from midtown Manhattan.

George W. Bush’s first Secretary of Homeland Security was:
A. George Orwell

An Army brat living in Germany at the time, I was 11 when I heard this speech, broadcast live on Armed Forces Radio:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH6nQhss4Yc
Text here: http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/berliner.htm
That was a nightmare, that wall. That speech made me cry then and it makes me cry now.
Dana Purinachow is married to Brit?!? Why does she hate American men so much, especially our young, brave men fighting in Iraq, and marry a man 18 years older than she is? Interesting tidbit from her Wiki:
McMahon [her hunka hunka burnin Brit] has two adult children from his previous marriage, making Perino a grandmother of twins
Doesn’t some young stud who put his life on the line for “our freedoms” deserve her warm caress more than some Union Jack-off? Instead, she chose to be a grandma. Dana Pre-natal hates our troops!
okay, now THAT’S funny!
OMG, Betsy! She will be able to read the subway maps lickitysplitly! She’ll learn the city faster than you and I would. So much to see. How long will she be there?

e) handwritten on sheepskin by a group who fought foreign occupation by a ruler who suspended habeas corpus.
Cool, I was stationed in FRG when Ray-gun exhorted Gorbachev to “…tear down this wall!”
A. George Orwell. His namesake.
Loo Hoo, nothing is set yet. My son usually goes up for 3 weeks — 10 days with each set of grandparents, but 3 weeks is a little long for Cass’s first trip. And we don’t want her flying alone in either direction. So one of my parents may come back with her.
Dick Cheney shot Harry Whittington because:
a. He was shitfaced at the time.
b. There is a bounty on lawyers, especially rich Republican lawyers.
c. Whittington looked like a quail, waddled like a quail, and quacked like a quail.

Ya left out; …or he’s a poor shot…!
A three-part question, Dana, if you don’t mind…
1) Does President Bush believe in the Separation of Powers Doctrine?
2) Does President Bush believe in the doctrine of stare decisis?
3) Does President Bush believe in the Tooth Fairy?
And he was shit-faced, too.
Often the best parts of Wikipedia are when there are controversies and arguments because many of the discussions are worthwhile if you’re into the topic.
There is Neurophius, and it’s at
Wiki for Wacky Dana
Poly Sci was just her minor though at Colorado State University-Pueblo–Monotone “I can’t characterize his reaction because a legal process has started Mass Communications” was her major.
I like Wonkette on ole DP here:
Icy Sexpot (I think that’s stretching it) –Makes a Funny
I’m not sure why the press is resorting to such yucky back in the day references as the Cuban Missle Crisis, and today Perino said she couldn’t characterize Bush’s reaction to the CIA tape destruction (because that would be too close to her actual job).
The stupid press is asking her all the wrong questions.
I see Dana being slam dunked on “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” by any 5th grader who comes along.
More appropriate for Daffy Dana would be:
a) Manolos
b) Jimmy Choos
c) Choos vs. Blahniks
d) all the above
e) none of the above
would be more in her strike zone.
This could expand to whether Greenspan did enough to stimulate the market for Choos, Blahniks, and Ferragamos.
Of all the thousands of qualified women who could do a superlative job as Press Secretary–Bush has Perino. It’s representative of the majority of his incompetent choices.
It’s not just that she lacks a high school knowledge of major American historical events–probably 75-85% of high school/college grads in the U.S. do. Perino simply has no intention of providing any meaningful helpful answers to questions, and that’s exactly the way Bush and Cheney want and the hundreds who work for them (and have never considered they are supposed to work for you) want it.
True or False, Dana:
MIRV is a guy who used to have a daytime talk show.
Shhh…! Don’t mention that… ;-)
True or False: The Bay of Pigs is what Dick Cheney likes to call his last hunting trip.
My opinion, Betsy? She is old enough to fly alone as long as there is someone responsible to pick her up and house her. But that’s just me. My daughter spent a semester in Spain all alone when she was 18.
I agree, but she has never been on a plane before.
True or False: The Bay of Pigs is what Dick Cheney called Lynn’s sorority in college.
True or False:
The “Bay of Pigs” is inlaid into Rush Limbaugh’s swimming pool.
T or F?
The Bay of Pigs is the name of Tom Delay’s hot tub.
True or False: The Bay of Pigs was choice beachfront property until the goddamned wolf showed up.
Pheeew, I can cut the snark with a butter knife tonite… 8-)
True or False: That is Rick Perry’s natural hair color.
oh, damn. No you diiiiin’t!
on that note, bon nuit. Which is French for “shoelace”.
peace out.
Betsy, why not try a short time for Cassie so that she can learn her flying wings before that long flight to NY?
Dear Betsy,
The airlines take such good care of young people — I sent my 12 year old to California alone, and they were wonderful.
“Uhhhhh…..” bay of fundy?
I guess times have changed..My parents would put me on a Greyhound Bus and send me to Grand Ma’s for a visit. Beginning when I was eight.
Aloha, WT! …which also means peace and hello… *g*
True or false, Dana, the Cuban Missile Crisis is why Castro takes Viagra?
I agree that she can fly “alone”. She’d be with my son (who has flown many times) for the trip north, but not sure she’s willing to do the flight alone on the way home.
Dana? Is the Vice-Presidency
a) a Co-equal Fourth Branch of the Government
b) The Exclusive, Unified Seat of Government
c) The Fifth Estate
d) “Three in One, One in Three” (The Father, Son and Holy Joe)
e) Two, two, two mints in one
T or F?
The Bay Of Pigs was the name of Randy ”Duke” Cunningham’s hot tub?!
Dana? What precisely is that under John Bolton’s nose?
Wow, this has been fun. Thanks Firepups. And I’ve had PREVIEW for the whole time.
Dana, the President derives his Unitary Executive Authority from:
A) The Declaration of Independence
B) The Establishment Clause
C) The Second Amendment
D) A Signing Statement
E) His Ass
She’s resilient, I was a soloist at nine… Once she’s experienced an escorted flight she should be fine, however, what’s Tejas after Manhattan…? *g*
Us too. Mom would put us on the bus in Nashville, and we’d travel every goat path down to Dozier Alabama where my granny lived. I was 11, brother 9, other brother 6. Spend the summer, than make the same trip back. I don’t think they let you do that anymore.
Dana, did President Bush hire Tony Snow because Tony’s last name reminded him of “good times”?
Preview works?
Wow it does!…. sure is funny how the little things can make me happy
;)
Folks, this has been fun, but all good things must come to an end.
True or False: Be excellent to each other.
Best of tomorrows, EDP.
night EDP.
Many stories on fuckery and other scandals are available at the Reality Based News Feed.
Turning in folks. Goodnight all, thanks for the laughs!!
Obviously, it’s ‘E’… Sheldon used “Misguided” as the operative word… Lame-o, I wanted something more… Something meatier…
Aloha, EDP and MM!
Tex! Fuckery?
Since the History lesson has faulty information, here are a few serious questions. Why did Castro lead the Revolution. Who was in power at the time? Who backed the person in power at the time? What was Cubas main industry at the time?
Several years after Castro came to office what country south of the United States had the lowest infancy mortality rate? Highest Literacy rate? Best health care?
Why did Cuba align with the USSR?
Why do we still have such strigent sanctions against Cuba?
fuckery indeed.
Bautista, Kennedy and the Chicago Mafia? Just guessing?
Khrushchev is:
a) Olga Corbett’s signature tumble
b) a reliable machine gun
c) vodka marinade
d) a strange love
I make kombucha at home so I find this very funny. Perhaps I’m the only one.
It is hard for me to keep up with all the news, I just want what is important here at FDL. I can’t look at work, and I work all the time.
You know, this criticism strikes me as somewhat unfair. It’s HER JOB to not know anything. You really shouldn’t criticize someone for doing their job, and doing it well.
I like Dana. Easy on the eyes and she doesn’t take herself seriously.
Fun news for the masses.
Because Cuba has dared to defy the hemispheric overlord, and successfully at that.
I should have replied to you, see 216.
David Letterman’s show is pretty sad…. a show filmed around the beginning of the Iraq war. The jokes are not funny now 5 years later. Heading over to the weather channel
ET @ 16 -
Now there’s a word with which ya don’t cross paths very often. *g*
Yeah, but who could have anticipated…
But, I coulda sworn that was Shrub’s job, ‘Plausible Deniability’ and all…!
Hmm.
“blithe”.
Yes, yes, I can see it.
I think “breezy” does it too.
Christine, I am one of the news bloggers for a radio network and look through many many headlines and fewer stories & posts each day.
This isn’t criticism..this is mockery.
Perino: Bustamante, isn’t he related to Busta Rhymes?
-G
This isn’t criticism..this is fuckery.
I likes me some fuckery sometimes.
Selected clips of Dana, Tony,Scott & Ari may work well for a Dem commercial in the general election.
Bay of Pigs? Isn’t that the other name for Walker’s Point?
-G
Heading off to bed…. thanks for the fun…. glad I am well enough to survive such fun
{{{katymine}}}
G, you have been sorely missed. Test questions for Dana?
*waving g’nite to all the leaving sleepy pups*
Suz – incoming mail. ;~)
hi Suz — did you see that YouTube will be doing maintenance beginning at 10 PST?
Isn’t tonight the protest song throwdown?
yep, first rate mockery…
Mrs. Perino, is the year 1938 and is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Hitler?
-G
was, we are gonna postpone the kickoff until utube is not scheduled for maintenance
sleep well katymine
…and by the way, who was Hitler?
Ooh, a ceasefire might be necessary…!
Ms. Perino, what year was Grant buried in the tomb of the Unknown Soldier?
-G
Yep. That time for me as well.
Goodnight, all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.
ah ha, thanks Suz — in that case, that gives me more time to add to my playlist *g*
Good night all.
What kind of mockery is this?
Suzanne, I simply must protest your decision…
Ms. Perino, true or false. What was sold at Custer’s Last Stand, lemonade or sausages?
-G
wasn’t it custard?
Suzanne, I simply must protest your decision
spew
You must be thinking of Custer’s Last Pie-fight.
-G
Oh no, you are not the only one!
Nite, LL!
Q: Is the rumor true that Condi’s fav song is You’re the only one and that she sings it to george as his nightly lullaby?
Late Late Nite upstairs
Seems to me Dana Perino has been given a easy time from the beginning because she’s so “cute” and “blond” and “nice”. Press secretary to the President of the United States is no job for a lightweight such as lil Dana Perino. But if she were actually competant, she would be overqualfied for any job in the Bush Administration. And honesty? Surely you jest!
Close. Batista, yes. Mafia, yes. Corporate America by this time was closly aligned with the Mafia and the CIA who helped keep Dictators in power in Latin America so Corporations like United Fruit Company could have control over the production of Latin America.

Under Castro, even with the US boycott, Cuba consistantly was at the top of human services like health care and education. While certainly not a Democracy, Cuba has been less represive of its people than most US supported countries in Latin America.
Simply calling Cuba a Communist Country does a diservice to History.
