That is disgusting. Even Laura Bush is pissed about some of this shit. I had heard that one of the Bailout banks was buying out a bank that wasn't bailed out. Nice reward for those Banks that didn't need a bailout. Keeping Guantánamo Bay open is messed up, even some of the guards there think its needs to be closed.

This is kind of off topic, but I can't find the page of the palin topic with all the comparison pictures, anyone able to hook me up ?

edit: searched through pages 240-270 where I thought it was...but I can't track it down.

Interior also is awaiting E.P.A.’s concurrence on a proposal that would make it easier for mining companies to dump toxic mine wastes in valleys and streams.

I... just... ugh...

The EPA has become emblematic of the Bush administrations war on science. If Obama can somehow right that sinking ship, I will be thrilled.

Since the psychopath is on his way out (but his policies aren't), what is everyone's take on this gem?

Q So at what point -- I mean, I guess I just -- there is the impression that the Vice President doesn't care about what the American people think in policy like that. Is that a wrong impression? And does the President share that impression?

MS. PERINO: I think that is the wrong impression. I think that the Vice President and the President both, together, all of us across the administration, would like for people to support the President's decisions. We realize that that's unrealistic, especially in a time of war -- and in particular this war. And while we're not able to change public opinion, we also have to follow a principle and stand on principle. And you have to ask yourself, what kind of a person do you want in the Oval Office? And America will have this choice to make in November of 2008 -- before I get ahead of myself.

So we believe that the President stood on his principle. He hasn't chased public opinion polls. He's aware of them, but he hasn't made decisions because of them, and I think there's a distinction. Just because you don't make decisions based on opinion polls doesn't mean you don't care what people think. We are all Americans. We care deeply about what people think.

Helen.

Q The American people are being asked to die and pay for this, and you're saying they have no say in this war?

MS. PERINO: I didn't say that, Helen. But, Helen, this President was elected --

Q Well, what it amounts to is you saying we have no input at all.

MS. PERINO: You had input. The American people have input every four years, and that's the way our system is set up.

Q Every four years.

MS. PERINO: And we listen to --

Q It sounds familiar.

MS. PERINO: -- different points of view. The President, in fact, had many meetings with members of Congress leading up to his decision about the surge.

Q Supposed to be a government for the people, of the people, by the people?

MS. PERINO: I would submit to you that people across America, if asked what type of a President do you want: one that stands on principle or that one that chases polls? And I think that they would want --

Q What's the principle of going to war against the people who did nothing to us?

MS. PERINO: Helen, the President went to war to remove Saddam Hussein. He talked all about this yesterday in his speech. I'll refer you to that.

Press Briefing by Dana Perino

From March. I think no matter how old that sentiment gets, it's so true. We really have no say when it comes to, you know, wars and stuff. It's just amazing how docile our intellectual community is in response to such nonchalant evil.

Reminds me of this:

CHENEY: On the security front, I think there’s a general consensus that we’ve made major progress, that the surge has worked. That’s been a major success.

RADDATZ: Two-third of Americans say it’s not worth fighting.

CHENEY: So?

RADDATZ So? You don’t care what the American people think?

CHENEY: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls.

Well when it's put that bluntly sounds like every 4 years we have a democracy. In the void between we have a dictatorship.
