Re: Crying in your Kool aid
Quote pointer
Ah yes, the pride must be welling up knowing the likes of Judge Alcie Hastings, Richard the freezer Jefferson, Jack Abscam Murtha, Teddy Copeckne, Barney the brothel Frank, Fat Bottom Girl, have taken the wheel. The really cool part is they were actually elected. Please share more of your enthralling tales of partisanship. We are all on the edge of our seats.
Would you like ice with your kool-aid sir?
Nah we like our Kool-aid straight, room temp, unlike the Republicans. Lets take a look at the nicknames that the republicans have earned seeing as pointer has opened the box.
President George W. Bush. Nickname =[Dubya]
Ill leave it to others to add there thoughts on this one.
Vice President of the United States, Richard Bruce Cheney=Nickname [****]
During the Viet Nam war he had five draft deferments and stated at the time, he had " other priorities in the '60s than military service.
Donald Rumsfeld the late Secretary of Defense, nick name=[Rummy]
He is both the youngest and the oldest person to have served as U.S. Secretary of Defense.
November 4, 2006
Army times.
It is one thing for the majority of Americans to think Rumsfeld has failed. But when the nation's current military leaders start to break publicly with their defense secretary, then it is clear that he is losing control of the institution he ostensibly leads."
Here are a few Rummeysisms for everyone to ponder.
According to Newsweek, Air Force Secretary Jim Roche went to Rumsfeld early on and said, "Don, you do realize that Iraq could be another Vietnam."
Replied Rummy: "Vietnam? You think you have to tell me about Vietnam? Of course it won't be Vietnam. We are going to go in, overthrow Saddam, get out. That's it."
I don't know what happened to that excellent plan, but I would like to know who knew it was unknowable.
"As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know."
Needless to say, the president is correct. Whatever it was he said.
If I know the answer, I'll tell you the answer. And if I don't, I'll just respond cleverly."
"I believe what I said yesterday. I don't know what I said, but I know what I think, and, well, I assume it's what I said."
Now we come to the power players of the Republican Party. O this is so much fun.
Lewis Libby Jr. [Scooter"]
On October 28, 2005, Libby resigned from his position in the White House, immediately after he was indicted on criminal felony charges by a grand jury. He was charged with:
· one count of obstruction of justice;
· two counts of perjury; and
· two counts of making false statements.
Each count carries a $250,000 fine, so, if convicted, he could face up to $1.25 million in fines. The charges also carry a maximum prison term of thirty years.
O well sometimes youre not able to scoot fast enough I guess.
Jack Abramoff -Indian lobbying scandal nickname[Casino Jack.]
I bet that there are several nicknames that could be tossed at good ole Jack Abramoff ,dont you think?
On January 3, 2006, Abramoff pleaded guilty to three felony counts conspiracy, fraud, and tax evasion involving charges stemming principally from his lobbying activities in Washington on behalf of Native American tribes. In addition, Abramoff and other defendants must make restitution of at least $25 million that was defrauded from clients, most notably the Native American tribes. Further, Abramoff owes the Internal Revenue Service $1.7 million as a result of his guilty plea to the tax evasion charge.i od belive that there is more on this one to follow.
Bill Frist (TN--Senate Majority Leader until jan. 07)
Nickname =[ Cat Killer (as a med student, he lied to animal shelters to get "experimental" animals ]
Seems that he lied even then.
Trent Lott (MS Sen.) nicknames [ Foghorn Leghorn]] [ Mississippi Hair Helmet ] and later on in his carrier [ In a Lott of trouble] it seems that he has had a rebirth lately, maybe we can add to his nicknames at a later date, we will see.
And another republican with multiple nicknames-
Republican Bob Ney of Ohio.
." The man with two nicknames ["Mayor of Capitol Hill, "][The Velvet Hammer ]
Plead guilty to corruption charges stemming from "gifts" (bribes) received from lobbyists in exchange for official favors, and prosecutors are expected to ask for a 27-month prison sentence.
As Bugs Bunny says TTthhhhtttaaats Aaalllfolks
At least for now anyway.
