Let the Truth-Telling Begin

Firing Squad, I want an effing firing squad!!!!!

Let the Truth-Telling Begin:

Royal Masset, a Texas Republican political consultant who has been accused of being less than brilliant, recently had this to say about Karl Rove: 'I think we actually like Karl a lot more now than we did when he was more active locally.' He told the San Antonio Express-News he believed that Rove in Washington is remaining loyal to Bush while 'fighting the good fight. He's fighting budgets. He's fighting wars. He's doing conservative kinds of things.'

When Rove was in Texas, Masset continued, 'there was a real sense of him being a total self-centered [person] who didn't care about anybody. He would literally destroy people who tried to oppose him.'

Plenty of food for thought in that. But first we should maybe figure out how to smuggle Royal out of the country with a fake passport.

The Bushies are having the hardest time trying to un-lie now. For example, at his Monday press conference the president asserted, 'Nobody's ever suggested in this administration that Saddam Hussein ordered the [Sept. 11] attack.'

How true: What Vice President Cheney in December 2001 said about links between 9/11 and Iraq was that it was 'pretty well confirmed' that hijacking ringleader Mohammed Atta had met with Iraqi intelligence. On June 17, 2004, Cheney said: 'We have never been able to confirm that, nor have we been able to knock it down, we just don't know. ... I can't refute the Czech claim, I can't prove the Czech claim, I just don't know.'

In July 2004, the CIA's own report stated the agency did not have 'any credible information' that the alleged meeting ever took place. The CIA said the whole concoction was based on a single source 'whose veracity ... has been questioned' and that the Iraqi official allegedly involved was in U.S. custody and denied the meeting ever took place....."
