Bush's disgust with Newsweek

It's amazing how the neocons charge out in force to criticize Newsweek and Dan Rather when they fail to do a solid job of researching a news report. I'm certain many of these chuckledittos believe Newsweek and Dan Rather bear some responsibility for the war.

Funny how they manage to turn a completely blind eye to Bush's failure to research the existance, or as we know now, nonessitance of WMDS. They also have allowed the eye to wink at the hand in regard to Bush's implication (and Cheney's outright statement) that Saddam Hussein had a hand in 9/11

Equivocation in action glares at us today like the bloodshot eyes of Mike Tyson in those years when his fists hammered opponents into groveling submission. I wonder when the Evander Holyfield bout will arrive and in what moment of ear chewing epiphany the true reptilian nature of the Bushists will arrive for their own constituents. I greatly fear, at this point, that time may not arrive. So many (Re)Publicans have set their table within our nation's temple and so much money has been changed that a troop of Evander Holy warriors couldn't drive these men away.

We may have flipped over that top rope as a country, into that world of the fixed fight. Can Democrats raise enough cash to provide a payoff for the fight fixers? Probably not. Maybe England will come through with another Lennox Lewis.
