Red, White and Blue Tag Sale
By MAUREEN DOWD
Published: January 20, 2008

When President Bush finished doing his sword dances and Arabian stallion inspections, when he finished making a speech in Abu Dhabi on the importance of freedom that fell flat, when he finished lounging in his fur-lined George of Arabia robe in the Saudi king’s tent, he came home.

...

But when W. visited Saudi Arabia and Egypt last week, he did not have the whip hand. He could not demand anything of the autocrats in the way of more rights for women and dissidents, much less get the Saudis to help on oil production. He needs their help in corralling Iran, which has been puffed up by the occupation of Iraq.

So he was a supplicant in Saudi Arabia. The American economy is a supplicant, too.

1. If this was the NFL, Bush woulda been canned after the first year....he has singlehandedly set back
America to the point of near Depression.

His Administration was built on Lies and weak ass Cronies...worse "Coach" in History.

4. IF it's taken from a message board, it's not plagiarism?
At least give credit where credit is due, MoDo.

5. I think I'm right, right?
It's not the first time I've noticed her borrowing a phrase from here, actually.

8. If she starts to piss me off I will.
But I kind of like her at the moment so I'm really not bothered by it. It would be nice if she acknowledged it, yes, but it's okay if she wants to borrow an idea or phrase now and then.
