The Post '60 Minutes' White House Hangover
February 25th, 2008King wannabe George W. Bush went live on cable news this morning to take one more swipe at pushing retroactive immunity for the telecom giants, oddly also pushing his “faith-based initiative” to the governors visiting the White House.
He looked like he was back on the blow and Jim Beam last night while watching the CBS News’ “60 Mintues” show, seeing his disgraced former political adviser go down in flames in the heat of national reporting. His eyes were runny and he looked dehydrated and hung over and he was babbling worse than usual.
Since it appears no other news organization or blogger is rushing to get a story online about this, here’s the White House transcript.

What a damned fool bush is–concerned about his telecommunications collaborators getting sued and does not give a fig about the jobless, hungry, sick people in this country whose plight is getting worse every day. Most of us could land there quite easily. All one has to do is just look at the dollar amount on the grocery receipt, the price the pump shows when the vehicle is filled up, the next water bill, the next power bill and on and on–then silently ask and silently and honestly answer the question: “Who is bush interested in protecting?”
His terrorist attack thing is getting so thin it is threadbare; I wonder if it will hang in there for him for the next 10+ l-o-n-g months. He’ll have to be dragging it around in a fruit jar when and if his insinuation of himself upon our country comes to an end. His “war on terror” is a war against the ordinary American people. Speaking for myself, I would rather have died in a terrorist attack with my rights intact before I ever heard of that insane idiot than to cower powerless in the banana republic he has made of our country. But then, if we had never heard of him, chances of terrorist attack(s) would be slim to none.

Finally, finally it is starting to sink in, even in rural Alabama. Makes my heart leap with glee!
I’ve felt like Don Quixote all these long years trying to get the word out about this, a veritable lone wolf in the dot, dot, dot wilderness.
Thanks so much for the comment Cissy. I am literally crying my eyeballs out as I read your words and type mine, so that I can barely see the screen, I’m not kidding.
If people don’t wake up, every dissenting voice in this country will be locked up like they are doing in Pakistan as we speak. See the New York Times blog story linked now on the Locust Fork News page about the 60 Minutes blackout and the one in Pakistan.
Media Blackout Update: Pakistan and Alabama?

Truthteller, I know not whether to be flattered or furious, having felt the way I do long before the lucky day I stumbled across your journal several years ago! Until then, we thought WE were alone in the wilderness. I believe there are many, many more of us.
I had read the Pakistan/Alabama article earlier this morning. Pitiful world these ruthless scumbags are intentionally creating.

Be flattered and furious. You have a right to be. Dot. Dot. Dot. < : )
One of these days maybe we will all find ourselves in the same room, maybe with a book in our hands written about this most scandalous time in our lives, and not the one in the works down in Montgomery.
Right after 9/11, President Bush united the country in the aftermath of the shock. Then, he advised us to go on about our lives, to shop, or “the terrorists win.”
Now we know, all the while, his administration was making sure the terrorists would win, by obliterating our freedoms.
The police state that is Alabama today is not the result of 9/11. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, including the FBI and the CIA, there are no Saudi Arabian or Kuwaiti radical extremists planning to blow up the Montgomery Country club.
So why do our freedoms have to be sacrificed by Bush and company way down here? Because it is a George Bush-Karl Rove state, that’s why, and governor Bob Riley and the Alabama wing of the Bush Justice Department are just pawns in the bigger game.
Wait until you see our report, in progress, about the Google Earth-Virtual Alabama system being tested first in Alabama. You think Russia cracked down on freedom? You ain’t seen Alabama…

Speaking of cracking down on freedom, check out the article that came to my mailbox today… many people feel that because we know the bush family fortunates are not going to give up governmental control with any inconvenient presidential election, here is something that may be a clue about what they are up to:

I feel that we must be relentless in demanding Don Siegelman’s immediate release. What can citizens do to hurry up the 11th Circuit?
In light of EVERYTHING that has been exposed to the world by the CBS coverage (and thanks so much to WHNT for the blackout, it really helped rachet up the attention), it seems that an appeals judge there could order his immediate release.

That reminds me. I need to call the 11th Circuit today and ask that three judge panel what they were drinking as they watched the 60 Minutes episode. Just a little hobby of mine. What’s your favorite drink?
February 26th, 2008 at 11:23 am
yes…no matter what the drink, let’s hope they were watching!
And I hope the Don Siegelman defense people are hard at work today in obtaining release orders for him.
That should be the next step, uninterrupted by any of those who helped to create this crime.
February 26th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
No, really, what’s your favorite drink?
February 27th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Jack Daniels straight up. Coke oops! Coca Cola on the side. lol
Did you read the editorial in today’s fish wrapper aka the Birmingham news? A gloss over job to support Siegleman’s conviction. Objective journalism does not exist in Birmingham’s daily newspaper. These guys are definitely NOT the Liberal press.

Working on my reply now. It will be up shortly…
