What Chicken Hat?

I’m not wearing a Chicken Hat!

Why do you insist on giving aid and comfort to The Enemy by scurrilously insisting that there is a Chicken Hat on my head?

Well, fish gotta swim, and birds gotta fly

And little Scotty Dogs gotta lie, lie, lie...

This article does, in fact, demonstrate in one, compact space, the only two cards this Administration of duplicitous criminals and dimwits have left to play.


First, the blustery, non-denial-denialish kind of verbal flatulence of a man who fears his boss slightly more than he fears the truth and who counts on the supine press not to call his bluffing on a busted flush...

W.House dismisses Democrat's call for Bush censure

Monday, March 13, 2006; 9:56 AM

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Monday dismissed as politically motivated a Democratic senator's attempt to censure President George W. Bush for ordering domestic eavesdropping on U.S. citizens without a warrant.

Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday that he intends to push for a resolution in the U.S. Congress that would censure the president for what he considers an unlawful wiretapping program authorized by the White House after the September 11 attacks.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Feingold's move "has more to do with 2008 politics than anything else."

Feingold is considered a potential candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.

Bush has come under criticism from Democrats and many of his own Republicans for letting the National Security Agency eavesdrop, without court-ordered warrants, on telephone calls and e-mails to and from overseas contacts with suspected al Qaeda ties.

The second counterfeit trump that Republicans play is just naked, bold-faced mendacity.

The pissy, prissy, passive-aggressive outright lie that still plays in certain Republican malebolges (look it up :-) because anyone still standing shoulder-to-shoulder with this White House has chosen to throw in their lot with gangsters and is, as such, entirely unfit to hold elective office.

So see if you can spot the lie, because it's soooo fucking subtle.

A congressional censure would be an official rebuke of the president. The move seemed unlikely to go far in the Republican-controlled Congress.

"I think it does raise the question, how do you fight and win the war on terrorism?" McClellan said. "And if Democrats want to argue that we shouldn't be listening to al Qaeda communications, it's their right and we welcome the debate. We are a nation at war."

Critics say the NSA program could violate constitutional protections against unreasonable searches, as well as the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which requires the government to seek wiretap warrants from a secret court even during times of war.

Of course, no Democrat anywhere, at any time, over the entire, pathetic history of this horrorshow of an Administration has ever, under any circumstance, using any means of interpretation suggested that we should not be tapping al Qaeda phones or doing anything other than moving Heaven and Earth to destroy them and prevent another attack.

The White House, on the other hand, plays into the hands of terrorists at every opportunity like they were on commission.

Having blithely ignored every red light, red flag, warning flare, klaxon, fire alarm, Bat Signal and Mile Hile Flashing Danger Strobes about unleashing 37 flavors of chaos into the most volatile spot on the globe, George Bush has created a hell on Earth fit only for four things:

Making his Vice President’s friends richer.

Making the American taxpayer poorer.

Radicalizing more locals and minting more terrorists than bin Laden could ever have dreamed of in his wildest fantasies.

Getting American soldiers maimed and killed.

From turning Iraq from a tidy tyranny into a festering Petri dish for radicals clerics and terrorists, to categorically refusing to take things like port security seriously, the Bush Administration has shown where its true loyalties lie.

And it ain’t with us.

And now that their criminality and towering incompetence is on indisputable display for everyone in world to see, what do they have left?

Scotty-dog McClellan.

Either oinking out his little farts of fake outrage, or simply lying through his teeth.

Swearing that this Administration is Not Wearing A Chicken Hat, even as it inexorably crushes them, live, right before our eyes.
