If Bush ran over a pack of Cub Scouts in his pick up as he drank ...
.... Jim Beam and snorted cocaine what would Nancy Pelosi do?

A) Send him a letter.

2) Send him a letter and publicly say that she was disappointed in his actions.

iii) Send him a letter, publicly say that she was disappointed in his actions, and talk about
the upcoming November election.

For the love of God the White House destroyed evidence and obstructed justice when the recorded
over the tapes of the White House e-mails as per Val Plame and the her outing. That was treason.


WASHINGTON - The White House has acknowledged recycling its backup computer tapes of e-mail before October 2003, raising the possibility that many electronic messages — including those pertaining to the CIA leak case — have been taped over and are gone forever.

The disclosure came minutes before midnight Tuesday under a court-ordered deadline that forced the White House to reveal information it has previously refused to provide.

Among the e-mails that could be lost are messages swapped by any White House officials involved in discussions about leaking a CIA officer's identity to reporters.

Before October 2003, the White House recycled its backup tapes "consistent with industry best practices," according

1. I think the part of the equation that is being missed,
is that intimidation works, and this lot play nasty.

5. No doubt

she should get out.

19. I don't think that "dirt" is the issue.
But these guys are not afraid of using violence...and physical threats work, especially if you are aware they're serious.

2. I don't know what Nancy would do,
But Obama would tell us he doesn't think he's an evil man. Bi-partisanship! HOPE TO CHANGE!!!

3. It would never get to Bush.
I'm sure they're picking a low-level fall guy as we speak.

8. Declare the Cub Scouts enemy combatants, * a hero,
recommend that he award himself a Congressional Medal of Honor, and leave impeachment off the table for the sake of bipartisanship.

9. It's correct that the GOP would vilify the victims, and it appears likely that the Dem leadership...
...would continue to cower and avoid confronting this criminal.

And in so doing, they would legitimize a rash of 'Cub Scout Rollover Parties' across the nation. However, the Cub Scouts affected would be, to a one, from Liberal Democratic families.

1. Commit a criminal act
2. Hope (and insure with bribes) that the incident is framed correctly by a compliant press
3. Shift the focus from the illegality of the incident to the validity of Cub Scouting
4. Institute anti-Cub Scout program to 'cleanse/purge/orchestrate' another section of society along partisan, hyperviolent lines
5. Pick another target
6. Repeat until the National Colors are Black, Red and White.

10. It took the White House
this long to come up with
an excuse? Lie?

Re: What would Nancy do?
She would tell chimpy just
to drop her off and get the
Secret Service to clean up the
mess....you know she is right
there with him anyway, why would
this be any different?

:puke:

11. If she had the votes, and the powder was dry, she might consider giving him a stern talking to.
After the elections, of course.

13. It would be a strongly worded letter...
...co-signed by uncle Harry taking the position that, while Congress can't condone such behavior, the leaders of the opposition party don't want this to become a partisan witch hunt and, in the spirit of national unity and healing, they're reaching out to their colleagues across the aisle in hopes that they can all appreciate and honor the tragedy the president has had to live with and, rather than add to his personal recriminations by proposing sanctions or censure, it's best to simply move on while acknowledging his bravery in remaining at the wheel of the ship of state in the midst of such personal hardship.

Any action congress might take to admonish the president would mean the terrorists win again.

Then they'd propose a new law -- 300 pages long, drawn up that morning, which nobody in congress has read, featuring bipartisan support, of course -- prohibiting Boy Scouts from congregating anywhere within a mile of a site where local law enforcement determines that they might be run over by drunken, drugged madmen occupying high political office.

Disobeying the law will result in Boy Scouts being instantly reclassified as illegal combatants and shipped to Gitmo, along with their parents, grade school teachers, best friends, their entire soccer team and a couple of swarthy uncles just for the hell of it.

How's that? Do I get the job?

:rofl:


BTW That is not far from the truth.

Dick Cheney shot a man in the face after drinking and the man who got
shot apologized to Dick for what he put him through.
