Bush Breaks the Law - La De Da

So...what do we do? Can we sue Bush for the amount of money this cost us? What? He's just going to get away with this as he does with everything else. La de da. Federal law broken by Bush. La de da.

Clinton got impeached for oral sex. Bush gets re-elected and gets RCH close to sainthood for killing troops, lying, stealing, blowing our savings, sitting scared while America is attacked, blowing up unarmed countries, being a mental cripple and breaking federal law. La de da. We're just flatlining now. Don't mind us. Just go about your business. Nothing to see here.

Just - nothing. La de da.

Bush's Drug Videos Broke Law, Accountability Office Decides

The Government Accountability Office, an investigative arm of Congress, said on Thursday that the Bush administration violated federal law by producing and distributing television news segments about the effects of drug use among young people.

The accountability office said the videos "constitute covert propaganda" because the government was not identified as the source of the materials, which were distributed by the Office of National Drug Control Policy. They were broadcast by nearly 300 television stations and reached 22 million households, the office said.

The accountability office does not have law enforcement powers, but its decisions on federal spending are usually considered authoritative.

In May the office found that the Bush administration had violated the same law by producing television news segments that portrayed the new Medicare law as a boon to the elderly.

Yeah, it's too bad the US doesn't have some sort of top level law enforcement organization to investigate things like this. You know, like a federal cop kind of thing... we could could call it something like the Fairness Group or the Lawful Investigators or the Justice Department...

/sarcasm, as if you couldn't tell

I dont know what it is about this man/admin that NOTHING seems to matter. They can do whatever the fuck they want to with complete impunity and even though I do try to maintain a semi-zen-like thought (as in "they will get their due at some place, some time") it is still hard to see things just slide on by. I dunno. What will it take for someone to notice what is going on?

Geez, will he just go and get a b.j. already so his base can finally get riled up about something?

Oh, that's right. No Monica's or Paulas lining up for to service this President...

what do you expect..he stole 2 elections,murdered 100,000 people in iraq,and gave authority to abuse prisoners,this seems like a small gripe considering all the devistation he has caused....i just pray the right wing christians find god soon...

It would help if the democratic "leadership" had courage, leadership, vision, a plan--SOMETHING beyond docility and submissiveness.

greetings from Gotham City. I would agree with Lisa ( above ) that we need to remain calm and zen like through all of this mess and the Nazis will eventually have to pay the piper, but I sometimes feel like I'm living through the buildup of the third reich in slow motion. we can see it all unfolding before us and we know whats going to happen next even before it happens but all we can do is just sit and watch. however,... what one must never do is keep quiet about what is happening to this country. spread the word people. the truth shall set you free. you may be labeled a psycho as this crime fighter has been called on more than one occasion, but at least WE know who the bad guys are. come to think of it ' psychos for peace ' has a nice ring to it. well its back to fighting the evil GOP Bastards for me. ciao for now!!! Bruce. p.s. to see something really interesting just do a google search on ' flight 77'....

Blogers have been making the point that the Emperor has no clothes for the last four years, and the dude gets a chance to fuck things up for another four years. Go figure. The claim certainly doesn't bother Bush. He just figures that it is an acknowledgement that he is, in fact, Emperor.

I read your comments and I get sick to my stomach..W. is the most honest, caring person to hold this office since the 1950s. The notion you morons have about stolen elections are totally baseless and the litte show those idiot dems put on in congress thursday will come back to haunt them...but I hope they keep it up because it shows america just what they are..babies, not fit to serve in congress and really, should be impeached for their partiasn dog and pony show.
I could go on, but you all know how wrong you are so there's no need
john henry

John Henry,

I certainly hope that was sarcasm because if it wasn't that was perhaps the biggest load of tripe I have seen in a good long while. As to honest, we all know of all the lies he has told. Not only that but you state he is honest in reference to an article showing that he was being dishonest. Have you heard of the $240,000 he paid out of taxpayer money to a "journalist" to promote his No Child Left Behind (sic)? Caring? How many GI funeral services has he attended? How about him asking seniors to "sacrifice" in relation to Social Security (the only people not sacrificing are his rich cronies)? His original offer of aid to tsunami-stricken SE Asia was $400,000!!! Abu Ghraib? Ever hear of it? Or are you big on putting firecrackers in frogs and lighting them up? How about mocking Karla Faye Tucker's plea for mercy? Yes, your sociopathic Georgie boy certainly is caring. Peddle you slop somewhere else. People around here have brains.

John Henry, take your head out of your ass. Honest? Sure. According to Bush, Iraq had WMD, Saddam helped in 9/11, he had no forewarning of 9/11, Iraq is going great, his tax cuts help everybody, not just the rich... I could go on. Caring? Sure. 1,300 Americans dead, about 100,000 Iraqis dead, Abu Ghraib... I could go on.

John Henry needs to get his news from someplace other than FOX and talk radio. It's hard for me to believe that half the people in this country don't see what this man and his administration are doing to our country. Can the Republicans want to be in power that badly? Apparently so, because they seem willing to overlook everything he and those in his administration are doing to undo every social program put in place the past four decades and screw over everyone but the very rich. On January 20th, half the people in this country will get exactly what they deserve. The rest of us will have to try to figure out how to live with him and them another four years. Heaven help us all!

It is hard for someone at my age to realize that half of the people in this country have no idea what is going on in this administration. When the Christians condone outright murder and torture, you know there is some serious problems in our country. I was born during the depression and it was hard on a lot of people. If people will not wake up, there will be another depression and no relief, because most of the people lived on farms and fed themselves. It is different now.

Speaking of FOX News...I was stuck watching it in a waiting room...they were talking about the arrest of the alleged killer of the three civil rights workers 40 years ago...they ACTUALLY said, "but should this crime be prosecuted after all this time? We'll have people on both sides of *this issue*"...

god, what racist assholes.

I agree with John Henry. W is the most honest caring world leader since 1933.

Welcome to the land of Oz.
Bush has no brain and Cheney has no heart

I agree with Earl

GW should be put on trial for war crimes.He has put our troops in harms way and lost 1900 + and to boot killed 100,000 Iraquis.There were no weapons of mass destruction ,Iraq was not the cause of 911,the hijackers of the planes were mostly Saudis.We are using uranium in shells and ammo in Iraq many of the troops who are in battles using this forbidden ammo will come back with more than battle fatigue they will have loss of kidney function and other ailments due to radioactivity.Wake up sheeple before it's too late.
