BushWorld Damage Control Alert

Out of Touch. Out of Control. Out of their minds.

The inhabitants of BushWorld continue handing out their marching orders to the military, to Congress, to the American people, and and to the rest of the world.

They won't stop -- Until we stop them. Demand an end to the insanity. Demand impeachment -- Now.

• Politicizing Prosecutors:

  "The Bush administration has appointed an extreme political partisan as the new United States attorney for Arkansas."

• The Light-Touch Tax Audit:

  "With corporations posting record profits amid nonstop accounting scandals, one would assume that the Internal Revenue Service is looking long and hard at big companies' tax returns. Unfortunately, the opposite is true."

• Cheney Defends Efforts to Obtain Financial Records:

  "Vice President Dick Cheney ... defended efforts by the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency to obtain financial records of Americans suspected of terrorism or espionage, calling the practice a “perfectly legitimate activity” used partly to protect troops stationed on military bases in the United States.
  
  But the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee expressed concern over the expansion of the military’s domestic intelligence collection efforts and said his committee would investigate how the Pentagon was using its authority."

• Military Is Expanding Its Intelligence Role in U.S:

  "The Pentagon has been using a little-known power to obtain banking and credit records of hundreds of Americans and others suspected of terrorism or espionage inside the United States, part of an aggressive expansion by the military into domestic intelligence gathering."

• Picking Up the Pieces:

  "It was surreal how disconnected President Bush was the other night, both from Iraq’s horrifying reality and America’s anguish over this unnecessary, mismanaged and now unwinnable war. Indeed, most Americans seem far ahead of the president. They understand that what the country urgently needs is for Mr. Bush to chart a way out of Iraq that also limits the chaos that will be left behind."

• McClatchy Washington Bureau: Administration leaving out important details on Iraq:

  "President Bush and his aides, explaining their reasons for sending more American troops to Iraq, are offering an incomplete, oversimplified and possibly untrue version of events there that raises new questions about the accuracy of the administration's statements about Iraq."

• Gonzales: Judges unfit to rule on terror policy

  Attorney general says federal jurists should defer to president's will
