Hi Tom,
Schlesinger was astonishingly arrogant. As if he knows he's on the winning team and there's nothing the other 98% of humanity can do about it except bend over.

THE MOST CYNICAL WHITE HOUSE SINCE NIXON'S Bush Administration Will Say, Do Anything To Gain Power Fearmongers, Dividers, Bullies
An MWO Commentary
The country is at last beginning to wake up the the fact that the crew now in charge of the White House is the most cynical bunch of fearmongers and dividers to have occupied the place since the days of Richard M. Nixon.
One doesn't have to look far for confirmation that the Bushies have deliberately spread war fears of imminent attack in order to turn public attention away from the breaking scandals about their own incompetence before September 11.
The Washington Times has said so: washtimes.com
"The Bush administration issued a spate of terror alerts in recent days to mute criticism that its national security team sat on intelligence warnings in the weeks before the September 11 attacks."
Unnamed White House officials have said so:
"However, White House officials told reporters that the blunt warnings issued yesterday and Sunday do not reflect a dramatic increase in threatening information but rather a desire to fend off criticism from the Democrats." (Toronto Globe and Mail)
Heck, even Ari Fleischer has said so:
"The latest alerts were issued 'as a result of all the controversy that took place last week,' said Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer, referring to reports that the president received a CIA briefing in August about terror threats, including plans by Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network to hijack U.S. commercial airliners.
All of these "new" alert supposedly from a top Al Qaeda detainee who's been in custody for months, and out of contact with his network.
Are we really supposed to believe this source is up on the latest of what his fellow maniacs are planning?
When was the last time a White House Administration so brazenly manipulated the fears of the American people to advance its own narrow partisan agenda?
When was the last time a White House was so purposefully divisive in its rhetoric, branding any who oppose its policies as unpatriotic and dangerous to the national security?
One would have to go back to the White House of Poppy Bush's old patron, Richard Nixon.
The White House where the likes of William Safliar got their starts, spreading character assassination by alliteration throughout the land.
The White House of black bag jobs and the young Dick Cheney and dirty tricks and the young Don Rumsfeld.
The White House where what one convicted criminal called the art of political "ratf*cking" was raised to a dirty art form.
Not since Nixon -- that's what we're seeing here with the Dubya Administration's arrogant, bullying attempt to get its way, by any means necessary.
Including raising fears that not only discourage the American people but make the conduct of foreign policy even more tenuous.
One begins to get the impression that this Administration would gladly endanger the security of the entire world if it suited Dubya's political convenience.
Not since Nixon.
Dubya's the One.
The main differences?
Nixon was elected.
And thirty years ago, young Woodward and Bernstein were there to do there jobs, unlike the craven, corrupt Whores of today. |
