ABC is slamming the parade, called it Banana Republic like

[meisje]

[roenyc]

1. for sure!

[fertilizeonarbusto]

2. LOL

They grew a spine, it seems. But, then again, if you are actually critical of Shrub, there's a lot less competition.

[Kolesar]

3. wow...eom

[eek]

4. Wow!

Who said that? They'd better go start packing up their office.

[Hobarticus]

5. Just last week they were singing the Social security reform song...

Which is it, ABC? Is he a hero, or a goat?

Get the story straight!

[spotbird]

6. You're kidding aren't you?

Strange things are happening. Too late, but strange nevertheless.

[peekaloo]

7. not kidding. Jennings is perturbed by the "spectacle".

:o

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Not just Jennings

George Will actually started the conversation and David Brooks jumped right in.

[MuseRider]

9. It is never too late.

Never. Remember Nixon. This guy could go down in flames and hard. All it takes is a small start. Maybe this could be the time.

[spotbird]

14. The Democrats had power and courage in those days.

Not anymore, ask Condi and Al.

[adigal]

20. Ask Boxer and Kerry

They both have courage, in my humble view

[progressiveBadger]

21. But the republicans pushed the resignation too

They won't want to lose 2008 by default because Bush drags the party down.
Just wishful thinking I guess....

[Emboldened Chimp]

17. Yes, remember Nixon...

Six months after his big win in '72, he started going down in flames.

[TheUnspeakable]

8. George Will

said something like "we shouldn't have these parades anymore-really
strange.

[cry baby]

10. That was George Will that said that it looked like a military parade

in a banana republic.

[DinahMoeHum]

11. The old Nixonite actually said that????? LMAO !!

Can't wait for tomorrow, hope there's a buzz about this.

:evilgrin:

[blm]

13. Will is probably worried that the rest of the world is seeing Bush as a

dictator and this parade is confirming their suspicions.

Even George Will can see it, though many other Bushmoonies will never acknowledge that truth.

[Eloriel]

22. Ouch. Pretty severe coming from him n/t

[AgadorSparticus]

12. what was that PA announcement? that was so WEIRD.

too reminiscent of some third world dictator with his propaganda blasting through the speakers. it was on cspan.

[Kansas Wyatt]

15. Banana Republic of America Under Bush,

Formerly known as the United States of America.

[maveric]

18. We are a "banana republic". An opressed nation of underpaid

workers who live under a totalitarian fascist rule,
He's right!

[EVDebs]

19. Can you say "Potemkin Village" ? They must have said 'charade' not parade

[rodeodance]

23. rather like the red army scenes passing by the Kremlin? anyway, I

have visions of it in my hear as I watch it.

[EVDebs]

24. It would be apropo to post pics of a Red Square/Inaug Parade

[opihimoimoi]

25. Where is the Democratic Float with tons of protesting signs??

We ARE in a FREE America...or are we??

[EVDebs]

26. Remember the Animal House float ? Harry Reid, swinging across

Constitution Avenue with a dagger between his teeth ! Go, Dems, Go !!!

Of course, that really happened with Bob Woodward and Sen Robert F. Bennett R-UT during the Watergate days...
http://www.metroactive.com/papers/sonoma/07.03.97/scoop-9727.html

""I have told Woodward everything I know about the Watergate case, except the Mullen Company's tie to the CIA."--Robert F. Bennett, testifying before House Special Committee on Intelligence, July 2, 1974.

Robert Bennett was the head of Robert R. Mullen and Co., a CIA front headquartered in the very same building as the CIA's Domestic Operations Division. The Mullen Co. did legitimate PR work; it also did PR for other CIA fronts and provided cover abroad for CIA operations. Bennett's most notable employee was Howard Hunt, a former chief of covert actions for the Domestic Operations Division of the CIA.""

We really DO have a banana republic. ABC snooze just can't report it that way !
