    Is that before or after lying about the reason for invasion, the invasion, lying about the reason for occupation, the occupation, lying about how many years “it will take”, taking 100 – 1,000,000 years, and the wonderous Walmart purple ink fickle finger of fate “elections”?

    Just asking … but puleezzee preznit blush … don’t answer … your lies are boring and smell like shit.

    I like his comments about “go out and buy a house” some time back, and more recently “the economy is strong”. Now let us listen to someone who is conscious:

    Not since the Depression has a larger share of Americans owed more on their homes than they are worth. With the collapse of the housing boom, nearly 8.8 million homeowners, or 10.3 percent of the total, are underwater. That is more than double the percentage just a year ago, according to a new estimate of the damage by Moody’s Economy.com.

    Administration officials say they still oppose any taxpayer bailout for either people who borrowed more than they could afford or banks that made foolish loans during the height of the speculative bubble in housing.

    (NYT). Damn those republicans like preznit blush and Saint McCain have an experienced handle on everthing from the 100 year war to the 100 year recession.

    I started laughing as the phrase free and fair elections rolling off of Bush’s lying lips! It sounded wrong coming from out of his mouth. I would like to see a remix of that statement~the Bush brothers needs to replace the Castro brothers. Then it would sound more like a reality moment on television.

    Maher has jumped the shark. Watch this episode – about ten minutes in to the group grope, the GOP flack (nimrod from Florida?) makes a claim that Michelle Obama hadn’t “apologized” for her poorly worded comments about being proud of America.

    He repeats this false claim several times, and neither Bill nor the “liberal” guest calls him on it.

    Too bad Maher doesn’t prepare for the show – he would have known Michelle Obama clarified what she meant several times and that the GOP flack was lying.

    As I said…Bill has jumped the shark.

    If Cuba’s Supreme Court has 5 republican Supreme Delegates on it, who can decide who the preznit is, then they too can have “free and fair elections” just like here in preznit blush’s Amurka.

    Then they can suffer along with the rest of us.

    American flag waived, Amurkan flag waved …

    Who was the guy sitting to the far right (closest to Maher) on the 3-person panel? Was that Rep. Kingston from GA? Does anyone know?
