Get Ready To Laugh Your ass off. I AIN'T KIDDING !!!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/04/AR2005110402040.html



<clip>

President Bush has ordered White House staff to attend mandatory briefings beginning next week on ethical behavior and the handling of classified material after the indictment last week of a senior administration official in the CIA leak probe.

According to a memo sent to aides yesterday, Bush expects all White House staff to adhere to the "spirit as well as the letter" of all ethics laws and rules. As a result, "the White House counsel's office will conduct a series of presentations next week that will provide refresher lectures on general ethics rules, including the rules of governing the protection of classified information," according to the memo, a copy of which was provided to The Washington Post by a senior White House aide.




:rofl: Fucking laugh of the year.

4. He'll be the laughing stock of TV all weekend.
Keith may not even be able to wait until Monday to spread this. This has got to be a history first.

29. Depending on what's in the 8 redacted pages Fitz submitted to judges...
that eventuality may not be entirely unrealistic.

(What if the Brewster-Jennings monitoring network was on the trail of an in-process, illegal WMD proliferation transaction?)

31. I do think that the work Ms Plame was doing was at the core of the leak
There is no other scenario where Novak knows (is told by the WH) and publishes/outs the name of Plame's cover.

Yes, this goes deep and there are many possible outcomes.

Here's to democracy, the rule of law, our Constitution, and Pat Fitzgerald. :toast:

13. I've been taking politics way too seriously for so long
Been thinking of creating a blog to just tell it like I see it, getting into the mindset to do that..

Might as well fiddle along with Nero, at least you can poke him in the eye with the bow while doing it and MAYBE get away with it..

Glad you liked :)

21. Just had a thought
Why shouldn't I just BE a Bush "aide" (like a real dumbass who was one of Jenna's old boyfriends, but knows too much to get rid of, but isn't worth actually killing) and do a whole blog that way?

I could add links to actual stories that are total spin, and flesh them out some..

I really LIKE writing total bullshit, and that's what all these guys are all about :)

26. Well, it's so close to the truth, it might as well be
but you could call it pure fiction!

You cracked me up, and I like your idea: the Jenna's ex character could really give a unique insider's perspective.

:rofl:

11. What's so Funny?
"Refresher lectures on general ethics rules?" How do you 'refresh' something that was never there in the first place?

Gee, if I were a jaded, cynical b*stard, I would deem this to be nothing more than PR, that IF any such 'lectures' take place, they will be attended by no more than a handful seat-warming underlings.

18. There should be a "Dilbert"cartoon series....
just about the bureaucracy,
corruption and incompetency
of Bush's White House.

Or why not bring back "That's My Bush"
(i never saw it... was it funny ???? I bet it could be funnier now)

24. OMG! LOL!! *IF* Bush Co had ANY ethics at all they'd hold a press conf &
admit that they had USED, ABUSED, LIED, CHEATED and MURDERED all along for the almighty $$$, POWER and to shove their agenda down the whole world's throats. :grr:

Bush and his admin would have to look up "ethics" in the dictionary and have some vague reading comp skill to know and understand what ETHICS truly are but all they can do is "talk the talk" not "walk the walk".

Hmm... maybe that "bunch" in the flight suit was real after all... goodness knows Bush certainly has elephant sized brassy ones. :eyes: :puke:

28. Ethics from this Time Magazine's dickhead of the universe is as funny as
Death row inmates getting free air tickets to Rome to visit the pope.

An insurance salesman selling term life insurance to someone with six weeks to live.

The three stooges giving lessons to a scientist on how to split an atom.

A child molester giving sex safety lessons to eight year olds.
