Bush Lied! Kids Died!

Well, not this time. But this scandal will bring down the current administration. I expect that resignations or impeachments will commence shortly.

Check out this press release from an outfit called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington:

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Office of Disciplinary Counsel of the State Bar of Texas requesting an investigation into misrepresentations White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales made in a written response to a question posed to him by the Senate Judiciary Committee which is considering Gonzales's nomination for Attorney General.

The complaint alleges that Gonzales inaccurately portrayed his role in appearing before a Texas court when President Bush, then Governor of Texas, was summoned for jury duty.



That's right, BUSH LIED!!!! to get out of jury duty! This may turn out to be even bigger than the Ed Meese jaywalking scandal of 1985!

When will the sour grapes end? Or should we start talking about Teddy's dirty laundry?

No, Bush. I heard about it months ago. Wasn't a big deal then either.

Bush's failure to report for jury duty caused the tectonic plates under Indonesia to shift and resulted in a tsunami. I thought everyone knew that.

The title was a popular phrase in the early days of the Iraq invasion. My first sentence contradicts that. I give. Someone put this thread out of it's misery.

That's the first time I've ever been accused of being a raging liberal. I've never even been accused of being moderate. Does that mean I have to find a Michael Moore t-shirt? Gosh, I don't know what to think.

Ah, well. It's actually quite amusing to see these liberals. The modern liberal worldview is only a few inches away from the Arab street. "Bush Lied, Kids Died!" "Racist!" "Fascist" "Fire Rumsfeld!" "Halliburton!"

It's pathetic. Guys, the election is over. Get over it and go to Canada with the rest of the commies. End of story.

Bro, I'm sure you have a lot of interesting things to say, but use of the words Nazi or Fascist used to describe the Democrats or liberals is an intsant losing statement.

Do what I do. Use the appropriate terminology:

Quasi-Socialism. At best.

Here's an idea! Lets start ANOTHER topic about how bush screwed up the country, amidst living our lives playing an online game which contributes to absolutely nothing IRL!

If you liberals really care, do something about it instead of whining and moaning about what a majority of the country doesnt care about.

what have you been smoking. The tsunami "disaster" was caused because the indians didn't put sensors in the ocean like everyone else.

I put disaster in quotes because there are no natural disasters. They would've happened with or without humans so its not a disaster besides humans shouldn't go to high risk areas.

Haven't you ever heard of that chaos thing where a butterfly's wings flapping in one part of the world triggers a storm in another? This is the same thing.

Even though I agree with your sarcasm, I'll say that NS is a great resource for modern political debate.
In other words, it's a great resource to effect the intelligentsia in our society.

I'm very glad it exists, and is effective.

Socialism is communism The scale is as follows
Less Equal to more Up/left is less down/right is more
Nazism facism despotism miekism theocracy demo republic/ con mon socialism communism

as you see socialism is very close to communism

Close only in the way that liberalism or conservatism is close to libertarianism.

Congratulations, that's the most offensively stupid remark I've ever read (and you're up against some pretty stiff competition).

chaos theory is all about adding tiny bits together to create a tremendous effect. They are saying that eventually the butterflies flapping wings will produce enough of a disturbance to create a tornadoe or something but one in its life wouldn't have the power as bush didn't have the power by themself to. Any way not going to jury duty wouldn't cause the plate teutonics to move but not move it at all which would have the opposite affect so in reality bush helped lower the casulties.

Bush's presence at the courtroom would have meant that he couldn't be elsewhere at the time placing stress on that specific region of the North American plate. As it was, he did press on the wrong spot at the wrong time and we got a tsunami.

not offensive. I'm just saying that the tsunami would've happened even if all the indians moved to a different place and that the placement of sensors would've prevented that many causulties. It was said as a way not to offend anyone so if it is offensive then i apologize. Besides in 85 million years the moon would be only 35 feet above the earths surface eventually killing us all or the volcano on the canary islands that has the left side cracked so that if it erupts and the whole thing fell down at once. It was predicted that it would be 100 ft tall traveling at around 800 mph carrying 2 ton boulders hitting the whole eastern coast of america. Said to happen in 2086 or so. According to people who use the bibal codex predicted that a massive earth quake about 8-10 on richters scale would happen in 2010 or 2012. This is also not to offend so i m sorry if it does.

Then your saying the whole of California that was ever on that spot including the bacteria also helped cause it

Actually, that submission does not imply that Bush lied at all. It implies that Gonzales lied in his written submission to the Senate - a disbarable offence.

And Bush did not lie to get out of jury duty - he got Gonzales to present a bogus reason to excuse him from a drunk driving case to avoid having to admit to his previous conviction.
