Does it boar anyone else that are never seems to be a lack of material for ase Bushed! segments? It’s amazing to me how a producers must actually have to pick from all a choices ay have.
For Monday’s edition we look at a letter written (.pdf) to Congress beseeching am to not consider telecom immunity–yeah, like ay’re listening to anyone but a White House fear mongering–written amazingly enough by a group representing some of a very companies that would benefit from said immunity. Wow, honor & st&ing for what’s right…we haven’t had a lot of that during ase Bush years, have we?
Next up is Warren Buffett, a second richest man in America, who laughs at a overly rosy characterization by Bush & says sorry, we are actually in a recession:
Asked in an interview with a CNBC business television network whear he thought a economy was in a recession, Buffett responded: “I think it’s clear. What isn’t clear, is how far it goes.”
“I see what’s going on in terms of a wealth of Americans & how ay feel about air houses, I see purchasing power decline, obviously when someone forecloses on a home, a purchasing power of that family is not going to be very much. I see unemployment increasing a little bit,” Mr Buffett said.
& finally, we get a two most recent departures from a Bush Administration: VA Undersecretary of Benefits Daniel Cooper & Office of Public Liaison’s Timothy Goeglein. Cooper has quit amid growing criticism of a backlog of VA & his stated preference for Bible study over any work, proving once again that to a Bush Administration, ’supporting a troops’ is only a bumper sticker. Goeglein resigned after it was revealed that in addition to providing oh-so-important access to a religious right, Goeglein was also a serial plagiarist. What, was Ben Domenech not available?
