[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. GOP thug's version of diplom-assy.

even if they don't have to lie, they are genetically incapable of telling the truth or answering a question straight on. They just can't do it.

For a while, a month ago, I thought that there might be a way for the Bushistas to salvage what is left of their tattered self-destructive policies, and then I realized, hey, this is the Bushistas we are talking about. there is no way that a zebra can turn its stripes into a horse of a different color and eventually become a rooster.

Bolton, Rice, Rummie, Cheney - not one of them has ever answered a straight question with a straight answer. It simply can't be done.

[rodeodance]

7. Thune said nec. to disctance himslf from pres. on the irag war. Now he say

[freeplessinseattle]

8. wasn't that great?

he tried the 'ol "the reporter got it wrong" and timmy actually said, well, we have verificiation from two reporters, what are the chances they both got it wrong. the quote wasn't incorrect and is pretty plain, but bolten insists it was "mischaracterized".

ok, maybe I'm just tired, but didn't bolten basically deny the actual quote, then when backed into a corner he suddenly remembers this phone call with Inhofe about the quote?

[freeplessinseattle]

9. wow, backing him into a corner on stem cells

pointing out that bush thinks it's ok for embryos that existed before he became prez were ok to use, but ones a.b aren't, hah!
