Was a huge fan back in those college days. Actually met Donald Fagan in NY, can’t go into detail here, I’d have to change the names and places to protect the innocent (and myself). If you ever see me out feel free to ask. But I have to warn you, it ends with you buying me a drink.
The long sordid history of Bush and Lay. Just another guy Bush “didn’t know” that he helped, facilitated, and allowed to blatantly rip off billions from millions of California citizens. Once again the media gives bush a big fat PASS. I guess when an intern sucks a Presidents dick it’s a three year daily story but when an oil man sucks a Presidents dick, or vice versa, hell, simultaneously, it’s page 12 and how bout those Mets. Is anyone going to apologize to Gray Davis?
“He wanted to name the electricity cops, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, so Ken Lay secretly gave Dick Cheney a list of three names. Now, you have to understand, Al Capone used to have to buy off the cops. Here’s Ken Lay trying to get them appointed. He said, “Here’s three good choices for chairman of the commission that’s supposed to regulate me.” Right? That he already knew that he was being asked for the $9 billion back, right?
Anyway, George Bush gave him a real extraordinary Christmas gift. He appointed all three guys to the Energy Commission. So Lay appoints his own regulators, and he did this before in Texas, when George, when George Bush was Governor of Texas, when George Bush says he didn’t know Ken Lay, and I’ve got a letter in Armed Madhouse showing a note from Ken Lay saying, “Here’s the guy I want to be my regulator, the cop that’s supposed to be watching me,” and sure enough, Governor George Bush appoints Ken Lay’s personal cop.”
“What strikes me is the parallel with the trial of Saddam Hussein. Saddam is on trial for war crimes committed in his name in a small Iraqi city. In that case, terrorists tied to the party of Al Dawa tried to assassinate the Iraqi leader. In retaliation, Iraqi forces are said to have killed scores of residents after arresting hundreds. So what, exactly, is the difference here? On behalf of President Bush, the U.S. Marines – whose culpability reportedly reaches far up the command – slaughtered dozens. Will the president be put in the dock, surrounded by Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, and the rest? It’s no wonder that in 2001 Bush opposed the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands. That ought not to stop the creation of a war crimes tribunal.”

Stewart: “”Bush: “I did not have sex with that NSA program”.”"
XOXO to Jon Stewart and his team once again.
This is a MUST WATCH segment.
(warning: animals doing human tricks ahead.)
“Having said that, I don’t want to hug the tar baby of trying to comment on the program… the alleged program, the existence of which I can neither confirm or deny.”
Yes, that’s right… Tar babies.
Must be that Fox News training.
Tony just might get the quickest “heckuva job” rating from Bush on record.
Shades of things to come?
