This entire video is great, but it really gets interesting around the 4:50 mark, when Jon Stewart points out the stunning irony of conservative pundits comparing Obama to Bush; for example, claiming that the nomination of Elena Kagan is “Obama’s Harriet Miers”, the oil spill is “Obama’s Katrina”, health care is “Obama’s Iraq”, and on […]
The Bush-appointed head of the agency that is responsible for protecting government whistle-blowers has been charged with retaliating against his own employees, closing hundreds of whistle-blower cases without any investigation, withholding vital information from Congress, and of destroying evidence to cover up his actions. Is this any surprise, considering that the Bush administration was willing […]

Dana Milbank has a scathing review of Karl “Bush’s Brain” Rove’s new book in the Washington Post. Apparently Rove misses being the master of doublespeak, and so is rewriting the history of the Bush administration. Here are some quotes from Rove’s book: “Did Bush lie us into war?

© Chan Lowe Ironically (especially given this cartoon), Laura Bush is defending Obama’s school speech, saying it is “really important for everyone to respect the President of the United States.” The full text of Obama’s speech to schoolchildren.
At the 2006 National Prayer Breakfast, U2 singer Bono stiffed then-president Bush out of a photo op when Bush tried to give Bono a hug. He dodged the hug by stepping behind the podium, and thought that nobody noticed. But when he sat down, he was sitting next to then-Senator Barack Obama. In the following […]
OMG! Bush actually believed all that crap about the rapture! It turns out that Bush told the French President Jacques Chirac an involved story about the biblical creatures Gog and Magog at work in the Middle East, and how war in Iraq was “willed by God”. This was revealed by Chirac himself in a new […]

I keep seeing people debating whether or not torture works, and in particular whether it produces “actionable intelligence”. An example of this is liberal pundits trying to respond to Cheney’s recent assertion that torture produced intelligence that prevented a terrorist attack. You’d think by now we would have seen the Bush administration framing the debate […]
I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture and in undertaking to prevent other cruel and unusual punishment. – Official Proclamation by President Bush, June 26 2003 And as an added bonus, Cheney’s claim that the torture […]
