Political Glance
After Philadelphia's housing director refused a demand by President Bush's housing secretary to transfer a piece of city property to a business friend, two top political appointees at the department exchanged e-mails discussing the pain they could cause the Philadelphia director.
"Would you like me to make his life less happy? If so, how?" Orlando J. Cabrera, then-assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, wrote about Philadelphia housing director Carl R. Greene.
HUD E-Mails Refer to Retaliation
A Report Card For George Bush
As anyone can see, from A to Z, the current US president has achieved over-all highs grades in ALL the categories that matter most to his core constituents.
State Of The American Presidency In Limbaugh
Why is impeachment off the table? Why is a real investigation of 9/11 off the table? Why is an investigation of the politicization of the Department of Justice off the table? Why are the Sibel Edmonds charges of nuclear espionage on the part of the State Department and the Department of Defense off the table? Why are we still in Iraq? Because not only do we have only one political party, we have a government of one, and Dick Cheney is its imperial, sole ruler. "Bush the bumbler" is out front taking the hits for The Establishment's agenda, and pretending he's in charge; he is no more in charge than was Alexander Haig at the time of the Reagan assassination attempt.
Vt. Towns Approve Bush 'Indictment'
Voters in two Vermont towns approved measures Tuesday calling for the indictment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for what they consider violations of the Constitution.
More symbolic than anything, the items sought to have police arrest Bush and Cheney if they ever visit Brattleboro or nearby Marlboro or to extradite them for prosecution elsewhere — if they're not impeached first.
Required Reading for Bush Supporters!
Let me repeat this last principle of Neo-Conservatism because it plays into the “believability factor” when considering claims made by people who accuse the Bush administration of unconscionable actions: “The leader of the state must stick to the good so long as he can, but, being compelled by necessity, he must be ready to take the way of the evil.” These people believe that evil is acceptable and necessary at times!
Computer experts point to White House failures in e-mail controversy
Even if Bush used e-mail, it might get lost in the problem-plagued White House computer system.
"I don't want you reading my personal stuff," the president explained to newspaper editors three years ago on why he doesn't send electronic messages.
On Capitol Hill and in federal court, a congressional committee and two private groups are pushing for information on how the White House has handled its e-mail for the past six years and whether officials there complied with records-retention laws.
The picture emerging from testimony and court filings is one of disregard for fundamental principles that well-run private companies adhere to routinely. By one estimate, over 1,000 days of e-mail are missing from various White House offices.
A Little Help for His Friends
United States attorneys are supposed to be nonpartisan and beyond favoritism. But we have already seen how federal prosecutors appointed by the Bush administration used their offices to help Republicans win elections. Congress needs to ensure that they are not using their positions to throw patronage to friends and political allies.
