Still, Bartlett credited Bush Tuesday for not blaming his staff for the misstep.

So, for “not” we should read “almost immediately”.

They’re compulsive liars, aren’t they? They just have to lie about the smallest fucking things just because they can. I tell you, it would be nice if CNN actually, like, knew stuff.

All hat, no cattle.

Full of shit, right to the bitter end.

The criticism of the terrible man who presented dear leader in a less than flattering light was , was , was , Voracious !

Here’s where ‘White House officials’ stood

Maybe there should be a link to illustrate how stupid the whole "White House officials" crap got.

I wish Lehrer had actually asked Dastardly Dick ("Nyih-ah-ah!!") about the war crime he admitted to in public. I really wish he had.

Is endearing loyalty like espousing CO2?
My theory is that when the stooge started talking, he intended to praise Bush for “engendering loyalty”, but ‘gender’ is too close to ‘sex’, so his subconscious censor mechanisms changed it to ‘endear’ when he was half-way through.
It is a theory and it is mine.

He’s taking the Mission Accomplished Banner back with him to Texas

Actually, he’s keeping it to put up at Jenna and not-Jenna’s weddings

I always liked Montalban. He set up the Nosotros Foundation, which promotes Latino artists in the US. I don't think he ever gave up his Mexican citizenship. Una poca de gracia.

Doesn’t taking responsibility for something usually entail some sort of penance or act of reparation? Still waiting for W to do so after he took responsibility for the fuck-up with Hurricane Katrina.

And how many press secretaries and/or communication directors has this man had? I only remember the last one–you know, the hot, kind of crazy one.

The Partner has been regailing me with the lowlights of Cheney’s speech, to which the P had the intestinal fortitude to listen and I did not. I can’t tolerate the very sound of Cheney’s and Bush’s voices anymore, and prefer to hear the lies and nonsense by proxy. I only managed to listen to about three minutes of Bush’s pisser drivel. It’s like I’ve been sensitized or developed an allergy to the moldy spores of bullshit wafting out from anything they say. Exposure produces a spike in blood pressure and an urge to break things.

Very sad about Senor Montalban. We de-mothballed and watched The Wrath of Khan last night in his honor. Of course, from that picture James Doohan and DeForest Kelley are also missed.

It also looks like one of them helped send a minor criminal to Gitmo.

I think the creature in that strip is the “Grimace” McDonaldland character.

Geesh, I’m such a suburbanite 1970s TV-head.

“[That's] why he endears so much loyalty from people like myself and others who had worked for him,” Bartlett said.

Is endearing loyalty like espousing CO2?

I’d have an easier time accepting Bush’s explanations for things if they didn’t all follow several other contradictory explanations of the same things.

There are still a few days to go – I can’t wait to see what acts of gobsmacking chutzpah still remain in the Bush admin!

What I love is that his “biggest” mistake was a photo-op that turned our wrong. Not policy, or some actual behavior on his part. The only thing that went wrong was the directing.

For fuck’s sake, that’s like if a doctor killed half his patients and then said the biggest mistake he made was the horrible color he painted the waiting room.

Also enjoyed Bush’s “I was disappointed there were no WMDs in Iraq” statement at his final pisser. Shouldn’t he have been happy there weren’t any?

That occured to me too, while listening cringingly to his presser.

Way back there in the nineties one could drive around New Mexico and there would be road signs cueing you to another bit of New Mexico history on the AM radio, read by RICARDO MONTALBAN. I just kept it tuned to that station and he would fade in and out of the ether with tales of the Olde West.

Does he live there still, haunting the byways of NM with that corinthian leather accent?
