Flip-Flopping/Promise-Breaking George W. Bush - Well it didn't take GW too long to start abandoning his more moderate campaign promises, did it? Since the nation is obviously crying out for a hardcore right-wing agenda (according to Fox News polls) George has decided to oblige. On the chopping block last week was his promise to curtail power plants' carbon dioxide emissions. The really clever part about ditching this promise is that not only does it bode badly for the environment, it also further isolates the U.S. from its European allies while simultaneously causing big-business fat-cats to wet their pants with glee.

Tax-Cutting/Economy-Wrecking George W. Bush - Yes, the multiple personalities of GW have tied themselves for first place this week. Showing that he's got his finger on the pulse of public opinion, Bush opined last week that, "People want tax relief. That's what the people want. Once they realize we've got money in our budget to meet our needs, the people want tax relief." A quick glance at last week's CBS News/New York Times poll seems to back up George's claim, with a whopping 19% favoring tax cuts and a merely insignificant 53% favoring the preservation of Social Security. Still, it's good to see a president who believes in his own principles and won't be swayed by stupid things like the will of the people. Especially since most of them voted for the other guy. Suckers.

The National Association of Manufacturers - It's official: real working Americans are in favor of George Bush's tax cut, and we have the proof. Enter Russ Freyman, the associate director for media relations at the National Association of Manufacturers. In a memo to business lobbyists preparing for a Capitol Hill rally in support of tax cuts, Freyman wrote, "The theme involves working Americans. Visually, this will involve a sea of hard hats, which our construction and contractor and building groups are working very hard to provide. But the Speaker's office was very clear in saying that they do not need people in suits. If people want to participate - AND WE DO NEED BODIES - they must be DRESSED DOWN, appear to be REAL WORKER types, etc. We plan to have hard hats for people to wear. Other groups are providing waiters/waitresses, and other types of workers." See? Real working Americans are in favor of George Bush's tax cut!

Christie Todd Whitman - The brave, principled EPA chief last week took a tough stance on her boss's announcement that his campaign promise to reduce carbon dioxide emisions was "a mistake." It was reported that Whitman stormed into the Oval Office, demanded an explanation from Bush, and gave him a thorough dressing-down for his failure to stand up for the environment or his own campaign promises. At least, that's what COULD have happened - if she had one iota of self-respect. Instead, the gutless Whitman decided to destroy whatever remaining credibility she may have posessed by publicly brown-nosing her treacherous boss.
