scandals bounce off bush like bullets off superman
throw whatever scandal you like at bush, it's pointless with the cloned media, like water off a duck's back. reagan had that rep, the teflon president. bush has teflon in spades.

you've got to hand it to the asshole republicans, they made good with one shitty scandal, and the democrats stand there like a hog staring at a wristwatch.

enron, awol, harken, haliburton, wmd's, downing street memos, failure to prevent or warn us about nine eleven, shitty economy, shitty jobs market, shitty housing market, shitty education system, shitty environmental programs, ear piece-gate, no g.i. funerals attended, no scandal, large or small has any affect on supermonkey.

i'd have never believed it if i hadn't seen it with my own eyeballs.

3. Teflon Ron has NOTHING on this simian.
I think it was mentioned before that Reagan and Nixon would have sacrificed their children to have the media Lancelot Link has.

With the media comes the message and the moat. And Bunnypanties' media moat is the size of Lake Superior. And the Ballerina Demoflops do shiznit bouty.

6. They don't so much as bounce off as have no effect. I mean that he's
sooooooooo well protected that no matter what happens, we can't get to him. That's why he (and Uncle Dick) can continue to lie with impunity. Because the republican's are so corrupt that they prevent any action being taken against these criminals.

People are starting to see the true nature of these guys more and more every day. But they're surrounded by the republican mafia and there's not a damn thing that can be done.

Oh, and the media is full of cowards who would love to call themselves 'journalist' and 'reporters' but can't because they're protecting them as well.

9. Not even they can save him....
Public confidence in all forms of media, newspapers, is down to 26%. Hardly anyone in their mind believes the media anymore.

Just need one network visible enough to take the full, entire, and complete story.......Hmmm....

10. I had this idea for a commercial the other day.
The scene starts out with a Republican politician in a spotless white tux welcoming a crowd of people. People of all kinds, old, young, blue collar, white collar, troops and veterans. Shaking their hands and thanking them for their support. At the same time a tank truck like the ones that pump out Porta-John's is backing up to an enormous fan. On the truck is stenciled all of the scandals, rip offs, lies and failures of the past 5 years. As the politician starts speaking about how everything is going well or it's not his fault, the crew of the truck aims a big hose at the fan and dumps the trucks contents right into it. The commercial ends with the politician still spotless while an announcer says, "The republicans think their record is spotless." Then the camera cuts to the crowd now covered from head to toe in the brown mess and the announcer asks "What do you think?"

11. Now we know what happens to a democracy...
...when the 'free press' becomes just another corporation protecting their CEO.

It's all about POWER and MONEY.

Bush is nothing more than the MOB BOSS of a Mafia set up in the White House. They use all the classic tactics to get what they want: bribes, intimidation, bullying, terror and fear.

Two things must happen before justice can prevail.

The media has to become independent.

Democrats have to become a real opposition party.
