Remove FEMA from DHS

OMG: Bush to appoint Chertoff to run Justice?

Think Progress » CNN: Bush Plans To Install Inexperienced, Bush Loyalist Clay Johnson At Homeland Security

Attorney General "Alberto" Gonzales' resignation prompts speculation about who will take over his post. Michael Chertoff is at the top of the list. Scary.

The silver lining is that DHS head Michael Chertoff is more qualified to run the DOJ than the DHS. The cloud is that he's not qualified to head up anything, except his head up Bush's backside.

Add another Bush loyalist to the steaming heap of shit we call the American government:

Asked about his relationship to Bush, Johnson told the New York Times recently that “there’s a lot of devotion to George Bush the person.” Johnson, who “is probably the only person to have spanked” the president’s dog, Barney, “keeps a George Bush doll on his desk.”

Clay Johnson attended both prep school (I think that is high-priced high school) and college with President Monkey. Can't ever trust a guy named named after sculpting material.

If you love America, you've gotta read Dan Froomkin

Froomkin delivers great synopses about the White House and George Bush's meanderings every day. It's kind of like a White House journal. Very illuminating. He puts together articles from other journalists to make his points. This one is great:

And Baker notes: "With Congress already out of town for spring vacation, the president's news conference was an attempt to have the last word in Washington before flying to California and then to his ranch in Crawford, Tex., for a long weekend. He ridiculed lawmakers for leaving without finishing their war-spending legislation, but he opted not to use his power to call them back or to give up his own break."

I love how Bush always attacks the Democrats based upon his own weaknesses -- dodging the war, Bush made Kerry look like a war weenie; dodging a call to create a Department of Homeland Security, Bush creates one and then says it was his idea, the list goes on and on and on and on...

Even better, as the President becomes ever-more confused, befuddled, and discombobulated, White House correspondents have gotten him to revert to old Bushisms and new alike:

"But reporters' questions further snarled the Bush syntax. NBC's David Gregory got him to say 'My concern, David, is several,' CBS's Bill Plante got him to mention 'suiciders,' while Bloomberg News's Ed Chen elicited the phrase 'air traffickers' in lieu of airline passengers."

I will be unfortunate to witness the POTUS erupt on national TV and start blearing out cuss words and insults...but it could happen.

Rudy Giuliani and Bernie Kerik

If your friends are corrupt, is it a good indicator that you are too? We shall soon see how this all plays out, as Giuliani's top cop, friend, and business associate gets thrown under the spotlight of federal prosecutors for tax evasion, wire tapping, and other misdeeds.

Bush challenges Democrats to offer plan for Iraq

This one is truly funny. "Bush challenges Democrats to offer plan for Iraq." Good one.

What is your plan, President Bush? Do you have one? Are you following it? If so, why are things going so poorly? If not, why not? Oh, wait, you don't have a plan, much less a clue.

Is this some sort of trick? The Dems tell you their plan, you take it, make it your own, and get the hell out of Iraq? Kind of like the Department of Homeland Security (remember, Bush didn't want a Department of Homeland Security. Only after the Democrats in Congress offered up the idea, with a lot of pressure, did Bush accept the idea, then stole it and called it his own. My facts may be a little off here, but I think I remember Joe "Eeyore" Lieberman proposed legislation to make a Department of Homeland Security and the President was against it, before he was for it.)

Brilliant!

You're not nearly as stupid as you look or sound or act. Bravo!
