REID: "In 6 Yrs Of Bush-Nothing Accomplished Except Biggest Foreign Policy Fiasco In US History"
TIME

The Democrats' Inside Man
Friday, Jan. 12, 2007 By KAREN TUMULTY

As Reid started his second week on the job, I asked him how things were going, especially with George W. Bush, someone else who has all but ignored him. That's when I saw the reflexes Reid developed 50 years ago, when he was going rounds in Las Vegas as a Golden Gloves middleweight. "I want to get along ..." he began, but he suddenly seemed at a loss for words. He slumped in his chair, buried his fist in his cheek and tapped his foot for a few awkward seconds. Then Reid let one fly: "He has 24 months left in his presidency. I don't think I'm being mean-spirited by saying (that in) the first six years of his presidency, there's been nothing accomplished except the biggest foreign policy fiasco in the history of our country."

3. Hey - are you saying that's not an accomplishment? It's the BIGGEST poindexter!
For generations people will remember President Bush for creating the BIGGEST fiasco. Talk about a legacy. What are they going to remember Senator Reid for?

4. Okay, we heard that before. Now that we're in the majority in Congress...
... what now? More urinating in our pants? More non-binding resolutions?

It's time to cut the crap and get busy stopping this President. Now. Right now.

gwb.

And, what has to be the most gut wrenching part...the "fuck you" is accompanied by the lost or ruined lives of additional thousands of young lives.

Just keep on keeping on, you two...your country needs you.

6. Yesterday the papers ran a story on the invasion being hilariously costly.
In transferring funds from the Treasury into the pockets of his base, Bush has been screamingly successful.

Remember, he's not a president, he's a Businessman with foreign friends and interests.
