Yeah right, after kissing Bush ass for 4 years along with all the rest of them, Steely Dan's conscience won't let him sleep at night so finally he starts doing the job he's being paid to do and investigate and report the facts to his viewers. If you believe that's how it works, I've got a really hot deal on some prime swampfront in Florida you might be interested in.
All the shit about Shrubsters past exploits has been floating around the internet for years and no one in the media including the Little People's new found best friend, Dan the Man, could find out about it and publish the details during the first election campaign or any time subsequently until now?
If Dan Rather is now spilling the beans on the Shrub in Chief it is because those that wield the power have decided that Moron in Chief has done enough damage in his one kick at the can and it's time for Shrub to retire to his pig ranch deep in the heart of Texas. Having a clueless, easily manipulated sock puppet as Commander in Chief does have it's advantages to the military industrial complex, but as we're seeing day by day it has tremendous disadvantages as well. Dan has been given his marching orders.

July 1, 2003 1600 PDT (FTW) -- Let's just suppose for a moment that George W. Bush was removed from the White House. Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Wolfowitz and Rove too. What would that leave us with? It would leave us stuck in hugely expensive, Vietnam-like guerrilla wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It would leave us with the Patriot Act, Homeland Security and Total Information Awareness snooping into every detail of our lives. It would leave us with a government in violation of the 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendments to the Constitution. It would leave us with a massive cover-up of US complicity in the attacks of 9/11 that, if fully admitted, would show not intelligence "failures" but intelligence crimes, approved and ordered by the most powerful people in the country. It would leave us with a government that now has the power to compel mass vaccinations on pain of imprisonment or fine, and with no legal ability to sue the vaccine makers who killed our friends or our children. It would leave us with two and half million unemployed; the largest budget deficits in history; more than $3.3 trillion missing from the Department of Defense; and state and local governments broke to the point of having to cut back essential services like sewers, police, and fire. It would leave us with a federal government that had hit the debt ceiling and was unable to borrow any more money. And we would still be facing a looming natural gas crisis of unimagined proportions, and living on a planet that is slowly realizing that it is running out of oil with no "Plan B". Our airports however, would be very safe, and shares of Halliburton, Lockheed and DynCorp would be paying excellent dividends.
This is not good management.
Leaving all of these issues unaddressed is not good management either.
And this is why, as I will demonstrate in this article, the decision has already been made by corporate and financial powers to remove George W. Bush, whether he wants to leave or not, and whether he steals the next election or not.(emphasis mine /jc) Before you start cheering, ask yourself three questions: "If there is someone or something that can decide that Bush will not return, nor remain for long, what is it? And if that thing is powerful enough to remove Bush, was it not also powerful enough to have put him there in the first place? And if that is the case, then isn't that what's really responsible for the state of things? George W. Bush is just a hired CEO who is about to be removed by the "Board of Directors". Who are they? Are they going to choose his replacement? Are you going to help them?Beyond Bush Part IRead up also on the history of business interests and the CIA operating in conjunction with each other to use the mainstream news media to manipulate public opinion. ,e.g. "Project Mockingbird"
