It seems like there is a brewing shitstorm getting ready to hit the Bushies. Grand jury testimony has been given on the outing of the CIA operative, so it could be only a matter of time before indictments are handed down implicating people in Cheney's office. Cheney is becoming an increasing liability what with all the Halliburton shenanigans and Cheney's duckhunting trip with Scalia. Questions continue to be raised regarding Shrub's time in the TANG, and there's now talk that he may have been transferred to a disciplinary unit. The economy is still in the crapper, and then there was Dub's terrible performance on Meet the Press.

On the Late Show last night, they introduced a new segment called, "The George W. Bush Tough Guy Jaw Clench." In reference to Osama bin Forgotten, Dub says, "I know we're on the hunt," and then he clenches his jaw and does a little head bob. What a boob.

I'm listening to the WH Press Conference right now, and Scotty McClellan is getting hammered on the AWOL issue. Someone just brought up the point that nobody can verify that Shrub ever performed service in 1973. This is highly suspicious--there was even a $3500 reward offered during the 2000 election for anyone who would come forward and verify that they served with Dub. Calpundit seems to be the one ahead of the game on this story.

In a way, I miss Ari Fleischer. He was so much more smarmy than McClellan, but Scottyboy just doesn't have that same flair and panache in dissembling or misrepresenting the facts. It's like Ari was the Professor Emeritus in the Art of Bullshitting, and Scottyboy is his first-year grad student T.A. who is clearly not up to the task.

Of course, I've been towing this whole line for the last year, but it just seems like something has changed and they're no longer able to keep all their stories straight.
