Blogged by Brad from the road…
We’ve been “off the grid” for the last three days, so we’re a few days late in reporting that…The BRAD BLOG congratulates George W. Bush for outlasting former President Richard M. Nixon in office!
Despite proven crimes against both his country and the U.S. Constitution which he swore to protect and defend (not once, but twice), Bush has managed to out-trick Tricky Dick as BRAD BLOG readers have likely noticed while our countdown clock (formerly posted in our right hand sidebar, a screenshot of which is now posted at left) had been tracking for many months.
It has been no easy feat to out-slick Tricky Dick, but with the help of a compliant rubber-stamp congress and a castrated roll-over media, Bush has managed to get away with a contempt for his country in a way that Nixon could only have dreamt of. As the legendary and mysterious Freeway Blogger has previously pointed out, we’re all wearing the blue dress now.
Thanks to all of the parties involved, Bush has faced no accountability whatsoever as self-proclaimed Commander-in-Chief up until now. That, despite an administration of unprecedented corruption. So a hearty congratulations is due The Decider! Nixon would be impressed, Joseph Stalin would be in awe-filled appreciation and The BRAD BLOG extends its “thanks” to Bush for supplying us with not a single day since we’ve been in “business” in which we haven’t had something to write about.
Would that thousands of more Americans were still alive, but for Bush’s loathesome, irresponsible, deadly and illegal policies, to give him that same “thanks.”
A very good article explains why he could not have done it without the republican rubber stamp congress (John Dean).
Whoa Brad – You’re time tripping – screenshot shows -3 days – 13 hours. Currently the clock is at -3 days -12 hours.
Must be one of those time zone thingies!
Oh and Thank you George, Thank you so much – you F***ing MORAN!
ITMFA!!!!!!!
Whoa – now the clocks gone!
In Rememberance of our Dubya Clock
please check this out!
Look here.
The longer Bush stays in office, the more damage he does. Congressman John Conyers has sponsored HR 635, calling for an investigation to determine if Bush and the Administration have broken laws & rise to the level of impeachment. He needs more Representatives to sign on to the HR to get an investigation started. One website trying to get the word out to people about HR635 via PSA’s is: HR635 PSA Project
Brad, dear, you sound better. I think you’ve been eating and sleeping! “Muriel and I are pleased as punch…”
Poor Hubert and Muriel wouldn’t be so pleased about this “auspicious” occasion though. 🙁
Brad or anybody else, do you know of any blogs that may be out here in CA specifically devoted to the Bowen/McPherson race. Sorry for crashing this thread, but given what McPherson’s been up to, I was hoping you could forgive me. The best the Bowen campaign guy I spoke with didn’t know of any.
Thanks
In regards to taking the Oath of Office twice…
I heard the actual clip on the Tom Hartman (local Oregon show) so I can attest to it.
When GWB took the oath for the second time he stole the Presidency, the said “…and defend constitution of the United States…” rather than “…and defend __The__ Constitution of the United States…”
The first way (as required by law) means you uphold and defend the document and everything it stands for.
The second way means that you defend the creation, construction or re-making of the United States, perhaps as a Fascist dictatorship or corporate oligarchy.
Freudian skip? Careful wording? Just plain stupid?
I suspect he knew wat he was doing but didn’t know WHY he did it, but that a good legal advisor told him to leave the “the” out and he did.
Of course, with these nut jobs, how can you ever know.

I get what your saying, but he isn’t a “self appointed Commander in chief.” That designation is part and parcel to being the president.
Dee – I don’t consider him to be the president. At least not mine. Thus, he is neither the commander-in-cheif as far as I’m concerned.
PeterB – Nope, I don’t know of any specifically devoted Bowen/McPherson blogs. Have at it!
I feel he has only passed Nixon because we don’t have any MSN sources informing the public of the bullshit, like we did back with Nixon. Only those of us with computers and a remote interest in the future of our country know about and care about what’s been going on. The pathetic corrupt Congress doesn’t help either, I agree. They’re all in bed with Dubya and rotten Cheney.
That’s why it’s so great to see Brad traveling around the country, informing people via the radio of just how all this corruption got to Washinton in the first place. They were NOT elected by We The People, we know that now. I know he’s waking up the people who don’t have internet access. Thanks, Brad.
I wonder if anyone has connected the dots between personal data thefts and BushCo ? There have been 133 such thefts since June 05, heaviest from June this year.
We are talking about banks, Ameritrade, U.S. Dept of Trans, IRS, MCI, colleges, hospitals, you name it and it has been hit. Wayne Madsen has a list of the thefts and how they were taken, and how many names were taken.
This is more than hackers having fun with establishment. Why would anyone need a complete list of identities from children to investors?
One theory was to decide where to hit strong Republican strongholds, but that is vague.
Since there are more millionaires in Congress and Senate than ever before there is a lot of butt to protect.

Although it’s not a blog, here’s somewhere with information on the race:
Around the Capitol
Debra Bowen’s Website
Another source for Political blogs in California:
Lefty Blogs – California (This will also give you a list in the left column where you can choose any other state.)
Open Voting Consortium Another blog about voting machine issues. (I like Bradblog better!) 😉
If you Google “Bowen/McPherson blogs” you should find many individual blog entries from various locations.

That’s something I hadn’t seen before. I’m voting for Freudian slip. Here are some others, (some paraphrasing, but accurate)!

It would be a lot easier if this were a dictatorship, and I was the dictator.
It’s working, we’re making elections.
It’s not easy bringing chaos and order to Iraq, but we will.
The terrorists never stop thinking of ways to hurt our country, and neither do we.
in other words, if you say, certain people should be free, but others shouldn’t free. It’s a universal thought, as far as I’m concerned.
It’s in our country’s interests to find those who would do harm to us and get them out of harm’s way.
Too many OB/GYNs aren’t able to practice their — their love with women all across this country.
The Iraqi regime is a threat to any American and to threats who are friends of America.
HOLY SHIT! Speaking of slips, NOT!
Bush isn’t the only one who lets us know what he’s really thinking. Take a look at this line written by David Brooks that was apparently approved by his editors at The New York Times:
Well, I guess that puts an end to that debate, Huh! Scalia and the Times are on the same page!
Who will you vote for in the US House Election:
POLL…(DATE)..[% R=Republican, D=Democrat]
(link here).
Could it be that the leader of the republican dictatorship is there because he is a problem solver?:
(link here). Maybe it does not count if you are the one who made the problem in the first place.
Brad, or anyone else interested.
In the new Rolling Stone auther Kurt Vonnegut said: “I wish Nixon were president. Bush is so ignorant. And I don’t like idiotic, impulsive people.”
So can the Republicans claim an endorsment. Oh, never mind I forgot Nixon’s dead.
