Last weekend President Bush underwent a routine colonoscopy. Doctors found and removed 5 polyps from Bush's colon and a pre-cancerous growth on Joe Leiberman's nose. (Yeah, I know, but it was just sitting there and I hadn't heard anyone else do it.)

Two items caught my eye today.

President Bush today visited Central Command, also known as Centcom. to get a first-hand briefing the officers directing the war in Iraq. Did he fly into Bagdhad? Mosul? Kirkuk? Oh Lord no. We can't risk America's best and brightest in someplace as dangerous as Iraq. No, the war is being directed from the dangerous retiree filled streets of Tampa at McDill Air Force Base. Just off the Dale Mabry Highway and a short drive from Raymond James Stadium and Buccaneers NFL action in the fall, Centcom is also located within easy access of the Gandy Blvd. bridge to St Petersburg and a day at the dog track or a Devil Rays baseball game at Tropicana Field. McDill AFB also boasts a private beach jutting into Tampa Bay and the officer's mess is said to be world class. I've heard rumours that some officers directing the Iraq War occasionally sample the nightlife in the Ybor City section of Tampa, but most think that part of town is WAY too dangerous.

President Bush today vetoed an Iraq War funding bill that included a hard date to begin withdrawing US combat forces and then addressed the nation on live TV. Statements edited out of the President's speech;

• We cannot allow the war to be directed from 6000 miles away by politicians on Capitol Hill. It must be directed from 6002 miles away by politicians in the White House.
• To set a date for withdrawal is to set a date for defeat. It is imperative that that date be pushed back two years so another President can be blamed.
• Some people say we don't really have a strategy in Iraq, but that's just wrong. Our strategy is to duck and weave until January 2009 and then leave the mess to someone else to clean up. It's pretty simple really. I don't know why people find it so hard to understand.

Overheard at Scott McClellan's White House farewell party.

• Yeah, Tony, it all seems so easy now, but just wait until your OWN PEOPLE, people you thought were your FRIENDS, LIE right into your freakin' FACE.
• Yeah, that's right, Rove, I'm looking right at you. Say hey to Scooter for me. Lyin' bastards.
• Five minutes, just five minutes, me and Helen Thomas in a locked room, that's all I ask.

UPDATE- Nov 21, 2007. The first excerpts from Scott McClellan's book are starting to come out and prove me to be a visionary, except he also blames Bush, Cheney, and Card. I watched McClellan's reaction when the whole Plamegate thing started to unravel and I knew he had been lied to and was pissed about it. Nice, though, to be so clearly proved right.

Statements removed from Karen Hughes' speeches by pointy headed Liberal State Dept. weenies.

• Some people say the US is at war with Islam, but that is just silly. We are at war with Muslims. I hope this clears up any confusion.
• Some people say the US wants to take over your country, but that's just silly. We want to install a government that will do exactly what we tell them to. I hope this clears up any confusion.
• Don't make us come over there and open up a can of democracy building on your ass. I hope this clears up any confusion.

I could not care less about Pluto but I am shocked and dismayed that 2003 UB313 will not receive planet status, thereby depriving us forever of the chance to make jokes about Planet Xena. C`mon, a planet full of black leather bustier wearing warrior princesses? Talk about creating interest in science! I DEMAND A RECOUNT!!!

Taxes, I note, have virtually no bearing on someone who is not currently earning an income but living off incomes earned generations ago by better men than he.
Ann Coulter She`ll say this about Lincoln Chafee, someone she detests, but she sings another tune when it comes to the inheritance tax. Coulter has the firmly held political views of an alley cat.

In a delicious piece of irony, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki said recently that criticism of his government by the Bush White House and Sec. of State Rice "helps the terrorists". I guess Tony Snow is a closet freedom-hater who doesn't support the Iraqi troops in the field and Condi Rice is secretly hoping the terrorists win. If we have learned one thing from the Bushies in the last six years, it's that criticism is disloyal and unpatriotic.

Former Vice President (or as he puts it, "I used to be the next President of The United States." Pause. "That's not funny.") Al Gore is catching hell for having a ridiculous power bill while telling everyone else to reduce their carbon footprint. Now, wait a minute. Dude hasn't had a steady job since Jan. "01, but still seems to have plenty of money. He has a steady stream of visitors. And his power bill is 10 times what it should be. Holy Crap! AL GORE IS GROWING POT IN HIS BASEMENT!!!
This explains so much. The obsessesion with enviromentalism. The munchie driven weight gain evident at the Oscars. It all makes sense. And where is the biggest pot-head festival of them all? Right down the road in Manchester Tennesee. When was the first Bonnaroo? A few months after The Supreme Court ruled on Bush v. Gore. Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Poor Al is obviously dealing with this devastating setback by DROWNING HIS SORROWS IN A CLOUD OF THE CHRONIC. Brother Al, believe me, we all feel your pain.
