Who is the Flip Flopper? Hey George, look in the mirror.

Qutoing Arianna Huffington : "...as Dick 'Not Peaches and Cream' Cheney ominously put it at a Republican fundraiser: 'These are not times for leaders who shift with the political winds, saying one thing one day and another the next.'

I couldn't f---ing agree more, Mr. Cheney. But it's your man George W. who can't seem to pick a position and stick to it. He's reversed course more times than Capt. Kirk battling Khan in the midst of the Mutara Nebula. Gone back on his word more times than Tony Blundetto. Flip-flopped more frequently than a blind gymnast with an inner-ear infection.

Bush Among The Amish

Lancaster Online.com: Jack Brubaker The Scribbler : Bush quietly meets with Amish here; they offer their prayers: "One of the young girls wanted to give Bush a whoopie pie cookie, Stoltzfus says. "Bush declined it. The Secret Service man took it, as presidents aren't supposed to eat untested food."

At the end of the session, Bush reportedly told the group, "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job."

As the president left the room, one Amish man wished him good luck in November.

"The Amish group headed back to their farms and shops, reports Stoltzfus. Mothers took their children home for a nap and went back to their sewing and gardens."

Reagan vs our soldiers

Fury 3.2: Home: "When a president sixteen years out of office dies we put his casket out for all to honor, first at the Presidential Library and now in the Capiton Rotunda where his body will stay for three days as tens of thousands of people will visit and pay their respects. Thousands of photos will flood the media for days.

On the other side of the world, when a soldier dies in Iraq nobody is permitted to take pictures of the casket under the rationale that it violates the privacy of the grieving family, even if the family explicitly gives their consent."

Reagan V Bush

Paul Krugman.

The contrast with President Bush is obvious. President Reagan, confronted with evidence that his tax cuts were fiscally irresponsible, changed course. President Bush, confronted with similar evidence, has pushed for even more tax cuts.

If only George Bush had said this

The Age...
"But the consequences of my strategic miscalculations in this matter have been compounded by additional tactical miscalculations, and the sound work of our troops and the good that I hoped would come of Saddam Hussein's removal have, in the main, gone unfulfilled."
