James Baker: Covering up Republican screw-ups since 1981.

[madinmaryland]

Seems like all the guy does is cover up one scandal after another. And not even that well.

[trotsky]

1. The fact that he actually defended Saudis AGAINST 9/11 victims...

should have caused enough outrage to completely ruin him.

[ComerPerro]

2. I think so too, but no one ever even mentions it

[whistle]

3. Afterall, James Baker sees himself as a Texan first, a lawyer second and then

...somewhere down the line he sees himself perhaps as an American:wtf:

[Rageneau]

4. Lee Hamilton -- not Baker -- is the chief coverer-upper

Baker is on their side, so it is understandable that he would do all he can to cover for his pals.

The person REALLY responsible -- and reliable -- for covering up GOP malfeasance is Lee Hamilton, nominally a Democrat, but in actuality a sleeper agent for the Republicans.

I have long suspected Hamilton of being CIA as well as secretly GOP. Like Brent Scocroft, the BFEE knows it can always count on Whitewash Lee to help Republicans sweep their filth under the rug.

5. actually, these are not screw-ups . . . they are deliberate policy choices . . .

designed to enrich BushCo and their friends at the expense of the average American . . . "screw-up" implies a mistake, an action taken because they didn't know any better . . . what they've done to this country is a lot more sinister than that . . .

6. I agree with you on that. Just not enough people

know about these criminals and their history to cause the public outrage that would follow full disclosure.

[Skidmore]

7. Did you know he was originally a Democrat...

who became Poppy's golfing partner at a country club in Texas? Poppy recruited him and he's been a loyal soldier in the BFEE brigades ever since.

8. I didn't know that. n/t
