In a world that will accept Madeline (coulda been The Penguin) Albright as Secretary of State and Janet (where's Dr. Frankenstein when you need him?) Reno as Attorney General, I would think that even Porkey Pig would qualify to to be Chief Justice.

CORRECTED----------------------------------------

The Bush administration is bracing for a powerful new attack by Brent Scowcroft, the respected [ since when is Scrowcroft 'respected' by you lefties? ] national security adviser to the first President George Bush.

A Republican and a former Air Force general, Scowcroft is a leading member of the bipartisan foreign policy establishment, and his critique of both of the style and the substance of the Bush White House, is slated to appear in Monday's editions of the [LEFTWING]New Yorker magazine.

The article also contains some critical comments on the handling of U.S. foreign policy by the current President Bush from his father, whose 1989-1993 presidency is hailed for deft management of the end of the Cold War, German unification, the first Gulf war [so 'deftly' handled when traitor Colon Bowell had us pull out prematurely that we've had all the problems with Iraq since resulting in another war. LOL. That's what you lefties call 'deft'--when it serves your lefty purposes] and the collapse of the Soviet Union. [LOL. And here I thought Ronald Reagan was responsible. LOL. You lefties are a piece of work. Keep the CRAP coming, lefties. ]

The new attack comes hard on the heels of the denunciation of "the cabal around Cheney's office" by Col. Larry Wilkerson, the chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell [the arab's best friend]in a widely reported [by the leftwing, Hate-America press] speech to the New American Foundation in Washington this week. Wilkerson said the national security decision-making process was effectively "broken." [What does Wilkerson have to say about Sandy Burglar and 'national security' ? LOL]

Scowcroft's criticisms will be taken seriously at the highest levels of the Bush administration because he is seen as a mentor by some of its senior figures, notably Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, whose political career began when she worked under Scowcroft as an adviser on Soviet affairs.

The attack also comes as President Bush's opinion poll approval ratings have sunk to around 37 percent, partly reflecting the ill-handled federal government response to Hurricane Katrina's devastation of the Gulf coast. But majorities of Americans [that's a slick lefty use of the "painted word"] are also telling [the biased, lefty]pollsters the country "is on the wrong track" and saying the Iraq war was a mistake.

The beleaguered Bush administration is also nervously waiting to see whether indictments in the CIA leak case are to be handed down next week against two key White House aides, Karl Rove and "Scooter" Libby. The White House is facing heavy flak from its conservative base over the controversial nomination of the president's counsel, Harriet MIERS, [In a world that will accept Madeline (coulda been The Penguin) Albright as Secretary of State and Janet (where's Dr. Frankenstein when you need him?) Reno as Attorney General, I would think that even Porkey Pig would qualify to to be Chief Justice.]to the vacant seat on the Supreme Court. And traditional balanced-budget conservatives have been dismayed by the double deficit, a combined deficit on the federal budget and on the current account that adds up to over $1 trillion this year.
