Idiot of the Day - White House and Jeff Gannon, or is it M4M James Guckert?
When will this farce of a government end? So, what’s the count now? Three reporters (so far!) paid off to spout the White House line, plus this loser who was constantly making inappropriate comments and asking partisan questions at press conferences. Also, how much did he have to do with outing Valerie Plame, the undercover CIA agent?
And as a Nevadan, I can’t tell you how much it pisses me off to read about the federal government wanting to change yet ANOTHER law, so things will go in their favor. In 1998, a law was passed to allow Nevada to spend the proceeds of federal land sales in Nevada. The money was to be used for Nevada schools, to protect habitat, and to build parks and nature trails. Now that the land is so valuable here, the administration wants to change the law, so they can take 70% (700 Millon Dollars) of the money for the deficit. Isn’t it bad enough that they want to store nuclear waste here? They’ll probably start another war and somehow decide that the BLM sales profits go towards our troops. No one can argue with the “for our troops” crap. You slap “for the troops” or a flag or some red, white & blue on something, we all must cave. “Oh, it’s for the troops you say? Oh, anything for the men and women in service.”
Bush lied to get us into a war, lied about how much said war would cost, lied about how much the Medicare prescription program would cost, paid off reporters (et al, I’m sure) and there are still people supporting him. Why? How?
