**EDIT: I got so carried away with my rant, I forgot to post the link.**

But I guess you have to give the conservatives credit for sticking with what works.

Oh, so that's what happened to the WMDs. The commie Russians helped Iraq smuggle them out. Thats because Saddam had KGB connecitons, right?

This would be sad if it weren't so pathetic.

"As a former Romanian spy chief who used to take orders from the Soviet KGB, it is perfectly obvious to me that Russia is behind the evanescence of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. After all, Russia helped Saddam get his hands on them in the first place."

Oh, and all this time I thought it was Reagan. My bad. Its the communists, they are evil.

"The plan included an elaborate propaganda routine. Anyone accusing Moammar Gadhafi of possessing chemical weapons would be ridiculed. Lies, all lies! Come to Libya and see! Our Western left-wing organizations, like the World Peace Council, existed for sole purpose of spreading the propaganda we gave them. These very same groups bray the exact same themes to this day. We always relied on their expertise at organizing large street demonstrations in Western Europe over America'swar-mongering whenever we wanted to distract world attention from the crimes of the vicious regimes we sponsored. "

Once again, Bush is the victim of evil liberals and forces greater than anyone can comprehend. Its all a plot to make him look like even more of a moron.

Lets see here. We have a plot to smuggle WMD out of Iraq to make Bush look like a liar who is a warmongerer.
Add to that the fact that Clinton gutted the military, Clinton refused to stop terrorism, Clinton set up a climate that made 9/11 inevitable, and the fact that the recession started under Clinton's watch. We know that all this is a load of right-wing bullshit, but most of the public does not. It is accepted as a fact because "I saw it on TV". So what do you get, besides enough lies to fill ten Clinton presidencies? You get a president who comes out spotless and blame free.

I thought conservatives were all about personal responsiblity. Why is it that Bush and his backers blame everyone but themselves.

To think, people scoffed at Hillary when she blamed her woes on a "vast right wing conspiracy" to defame her.

But if you believe the Bush camp, there is a world-wide left wing plot to make Bush look like an ass.

The truth? Bush is an ass. And a moron.

1. And the Repubs call us conspiracy NUTS!
It just shows to go ya! And F Tucker and his anti-African American comments about Al Sharpton! I'd vote for Al in a heartbeat before I would a single damned repub in Washington OR California! I'd love to see Al Sharpton kick Tucker's whiney wimpy ass, and you couldn't blame the man if he did it on Crossfire! Tucker should join the Army, they need war heros in Iraq!

4. When I think of someone bashing conspiracy theorists it.......
reminds me of that idiot on crossfire! What the hell do the repubs call what Enron did to the people of California if not a conspiracy! Or the Secret Energy meetings with Cheney and Kenny Boy! OR the Secret group of 5 guys at the Pentagon conspiring to wage war on Iraq! Tucker needs to come up with just one new insult, he is such a frigging bore! Like a Broken Record!

6. He kept calling Al Frankin Al Sharpton!
Not a single day goes by that Tucker doesen't get some stupid dig in about Al Sharpton! Black Americans should raise holy hell about his sly Trent Lott like shit! I guess the Klan likes Tucker though, he's scoring some points with the Neo Nazi wing of the GOP!
