Scandal Sheet 2/6/06 - 2/12/06

There were so many important stories this week which reflected the character and incompetence of those running the country that I have put together a list of them with links. Its pretty disturbing to see them all listed together - and this is just a week's worth! I will have to start keeping a daily list to make it easier at the end of the week to put this together. eaprez

Cheney Spearheaded Effort to Discredit Wilson You wouldn't know this was a big story by watching television. Oh, its getting mentioned more and more but if a Democrat had been behind something like this you wouldn't be able to escape the noise from the right and the calls for resignation would be immediate. Why do these people keep getting a pass?

Emails Show Bush/Abromoff Connection The president caught in another lie! Like I have said many, many times before ---- if his lips are moving ---- he's lying.

Frist, Hastert Rig Bill for Drug Companies If everyday folk don't understand by now that the party in power is all about protecting corporations and the rich folk - they will never understand it.

DeLay Given Seat on Appropriations Committee & on Subcomittee overseeing Influence Peddling Scandal Talk about the fox guarding the hen house! These people are so incredibly arrogant they no longer care about how things appear. This is 'in your face' "we don't give a damn what the little people think" stuff. We deserve better!

Bush Inserts Social Security Privatization Plan into Federal Budget Another example of Bush doing whatever the hell he wants.

Bush Administration Moves to Sell National Forrest Land This land is your land, this land is my land --- well at least until its sold to the highest bidder!

Photos Show Bush/Abramoff Connection Oh what a tangled web we weave....

Boehner Rents Apartment Owned by D.C. Lobbyist Doesn't seem this guy is any better than DeLay

Rove Threatens to Blacklist Republicans Who Don't Go Along With Wiretapping Let me see if I understand this correctly - the legislators who are supposed to provide oversight to the executive branch are being TOLD by the executive branch that if they perform their duties they will be blacklisted? I thought the president's oath was about upholding the constitution not holding on to power?

New Orleans Mayor Seeks Aid From Foreign Countries This is a damn shame and should be an embarrasment to everyone.

White House Knew of Levee Failure on Night of Storm - Ok people what is it going to take for EVERYONE to realize the people running the country are incompetent? Recall if you will, that the president was on vacation during this time - just as he was when he received the PDB warning him that OBL was determined to attack the U.S. Once again he showed his unwillingness to cut short his vacation to tend to the business of this country. We should be very afraid every time he goes to the ranch.
