* Interview Suggests Election Stolen to Avoid Investigation of IRAQ
Edited on Sun Jan-16-05 12:35 PM by McCamy Taylor
Karl Rove needs to put a sock in *s mouth. Rove has been feeding the MSM scandal after scandal, and what does Dumbya do the minute he sits down with sympathetic reporters from the Fort Worth Star Telegram? He tells them "We dont need no investigations of WMDs and Iraqi prison abuses, no siree, because I gots me a mandate!" Well, not in so many words. Here are his actual words."

President Bush said that the public's decision to re-elect him was a ratification of his approach toward Iraq and that there was no reason to hold any administration officials accountable for mistakes or misjudgments in prewar planning or managing the violent aftermath.

"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post.

"The American people listened to different assessments made about what was taking place in Iraq, and they looked at the two candidates and chose me."

elected (fairly or unfairly) has nothing to do with accountability.

As usual, * is talking out his a**.

3. Gag me with a spoon.
totally, like for sure.

Isn't it pathetic when we have a president that makes Jessica Simpson sound intellgent?

In Simpson's case, it isn't her fault, she matriculated in the Texas public education system...but Bush had the best education money can buy, so what's his excuse?

5. It's ironic that from the lying messages put out by Bush, one finds
the most reliable source of political news. All one must do is to reverse the meaning of whatever Bush says and "voila" , you have the truth. Such is the case about the "mandate". It clearly shows that he was is still is worried about having to account for his sins.
It's possible that certain statutes may protect him while in office, but after he's out, he will be fair game. (Unless he manages to get the laws changed while still in office, which is what I predict will happen.)

6. Accountability moment.....is that whats he calls it..............
"We had an accountability moment, and that's called the 2004 elections," Bush said in an interview with The Washington Post.

No it wasn't, it will be if your indicted for gross incompetence and high crimes & misdemeanors.......that will be accountability.

7. Write letters to the editor on this one.
Stuff about learning from mistakes would be appropriate and what do they have to hide.
