Let us bow our heads
And pray for George Bush. I mean it. He needs our prayers to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide him in his struggle between good and evil. Years ago he found Christ and it changed his life. He feels as though he was chosen by God to lead the greatest nation in the world. I just wonder if he stopped listening to God once he got the job, and let greed and lust for power drum out the sound of the Word that guided him on on that quest. I have no right to judge him on that. But I want to believe he believes. I want to think that he is still open to Christ. That he still feels humbled by His presence. How can one human being possibly do it all right? I'm praying that he opens himself to the presence of Christ in his life once again, and I want you to pray for him too.

Why John Bolton Will Get a Quickie Appointment
Because as US Ambassador to the UN he will get diplomatic immunity. Why will he need it? So that he will not get prosecuted for treason, that's why. This is a long story that will not be told on Fox News, even though they have 24 hours a day to cover it. It does involve a blonde, and there is a scandal, but since the Bush Administration is the evil-doer here, you will never hear about it on Fox.
John Bolton is a former State Dept employee. Condi and George needed to get rid of him, but because he commited a crime and since he was a good liar, he was in line for a promotion, and George recommended him for US Ambassador to the UN. Now with the Republicans in charge of Congress, this was a shoe-in. So the House debated his appointments for weeks, with all kinds of stories coming out about him being a kiss-up, kick-down kind of guy. Well, who isn't? Not easy keeping a job these days. But then we found out that the people he liked to kick out of a job were those who didn't agree with the lies he wanted to tell and insisted that he not give speeches about nuclear capabilities of our enemies, because there was no proof. Proof! Who needs proof when you got Fox?
So the deciding vote on whether to send the vote on the appointment up to the Senate came from Republican Seisenbrenner, who said something like if he was in private practice he would fire his ass. So now it goes to the Senate, and George is counting on his buds to just give Bolton an up or down vote and get him into the UN. "The UN needs an overhaul. John Bolton is the man to do it," cried all those Chicken Littles. Not so quick, our Senate says. Let's look at some of Bolton's past actions. They ask George to turn over some documents showing how Bolton used his position to spy on foes, competitors, or those people soon to be kicked down. After all, everybody has a skelton in the closet. George says "No way, this is super secret stuff that the terrorist could get their hands on, we claim privilege."
But then, John McCain says, "Hmm, I wonder, did Bolton testify before the Grand Jury in the investigation of the outing the the covert CIA agent Valerie Plame? It wasn't on his application. In fact, he said that he had absolutely no involvement in any legal proceedings for the last so many years. Hmm, I'd like to ask him if he would verify that statement?" No problem, State Dept. verifies on his behalf. And then just yesterday there was word from the State Dept. that they made a mistake. It seems that Bolton did testify before the Grand Jury investigating the leak which resulted in the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame, whose husband, Joseph Wilson, happened to be the one who wrote the editorial in the NYT saying that Georgie was lying to the UN, and to Americans when he said that Saddam Hussein was buying uranium from Niger. "We're sorry. Bolton forgot about that little legal proceeding. We should not have verified the info on his application."
Of course he forgot. It was two years ago. He was one of the first people interviewed. Way before Karl Rove and Scooter Libby. Because he was one of the first suspects. He needed to be promoted quickly because he did such a good hatchet job on Valerie and Joe. Investigator Fitzpatrick is taking his good old time coming to a conclusion on this investigation. Looks like Scooter Libby (Cheney's assistant) and Karl Rove were to blame. George loves old Turd Blossom (his knickname for Karl), and said he will fire anyone found to be involved with this treason, um, found to have committed a crime, and next of course, he will say prosecuted for having commited a crime of treason. And, you cannot prosecute an Ambassador.

MTV Sucks
They interrupted Stevie Wonder's new song to put their stupid djs on the air. I went to mtv.com to register my protest, but after signing in, there is no place to contact them. Pissed me off. But finding out that Karl Rove is the person who outed the spy (a treason-able offense) made me happy. Arianna had it first. DailyKos has it. Time & Newsweek are carrying it, but not CNN or Fox. No surprise.
