THREE CHEERS FOR JUSTICE, TRUTH & LIBERAL NEWS

IS PRESIDENT BUSH LEARNING?
Steve Benen, The American Prospect
The new push to present the President as a bookworm is as desperate as it is dubious.

SEE DICK RUN (THE COUNTRY)
Robert Kuttner, The American Prospect
Cheney's the real president. It'd be nice if the press noticed.
http://www.alternet.org/story/40960/

[Duchess Note - It just boggles the mind that many Americans don't know who's really running this country. Myself and others have known for a long time that its really Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove (ie: 3 Evil Musketeers or Wicked Wizards of the West) who are running this country. (They've been learning the tricks of the trade from Nixon era to present.) They make spoiled brat Bushit think its him, but its not. The disasters that have befallen this country and in parts of the world over 6 years can be traced back to those three demented, evil individuals. Those who want to impeach Bush, yeah, thats a good idea. But to get rid of this evil regime you have to dig deeply into the roots and get rid of them all. Its the only way to get rid of nasty, ugly weeds. Then we need to build our democracy back to were it belongs. It can be done. We need to come together as Americans and oust this stench on our country once and for all.]

Senator Hillary Clinton: All Show and No Substance
Sibel Edmonds & William Weaver
http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0828-24.htm

[Duchess Note - Edmonds and Weaver are soooo right about Slick Hil. There is no real substance to her. Its all greed and ambition in getting to the top. The corporate mainstream media try to paint her as a Liberal. LOL What a hoot! She is soooo not a Liberal nor Progressive. Far from it! From 2002 to present she has been strongly pro-war. Those who plan on voting for Ms Republican Lite during the NY state primary don't really know her track record. It would be wise for them to educate themselves, cause it'll make them barf. Dear NY state registered Democrats, make the right choice on Sept 12th and vote for a real progressive. Place your vote for Jonathan Tasini for NY state senate.

WITH HIL IN NO HURRY, DEBATE LIKELY HISTORY
Helen Kennedy, Daily News
Tasini, who wants troops withdrawn from Iraq immediately, appeared yesterday with two mothers of soldiers in Iraq who called on Clinton to debate. "Her refusal is disrespectful not only to New York voters but to the democratic process," Tasini said.
