THE LAME RESPONSE TO MCCLELLAN'S EXPOSE

The best defense is a good offense. Usually this is true. But the White House can't seem to engineer a good offense. The best they can do is to register 'shock". McClellan is "such a disappointment","not the person we thought he was"; "not the person we knew." DAH! Of course. They thought he was a 'loyalist' forever - a forever Texas family crony.

So why did he not speak out before? How about because 1. He sincerely trusted the President and his advisors because he was slightly naive before he woke up; 2 - He had a position of great prestidge and power and was trying his best to rationalize the bad stuff; 3 - He was frightened to face the likes of Carl Rove, Richard Cheney with good reason; 4- over time he was shocked into reality gradually realizing that the Emperor and his 'loyalists' had [have] no clothes..... 

Isn't it interesting that no one in the administration is willing to deny any of his alarming message.... Instead all they can do - and do poorly- is to lamely attack the messenger.

And assuming he is accurate then we all have reason to fear between now and the election in November.... The adminstion is ruthless - mean spirited - deceptive - opaque - cunning -  Additionally, I would imagine there are many in charge that are suffering from exposure anxiety. Collectively McClelland's  negative assertions remarkably reinforcing similar ones already made in dozens of books on the same subject appear to be grounds for impeachment.

Good lord "my friends" as Senator McCain is so fond of saying, if a President can be impeached because he can't seem to control his need for love in a way that offends many Americans because his way of doing it is deemed inappropriate, then what should we do about a President and many of his closest advisors who are out and out liars, placing our country and its citizens in harms way with its misguided policies, resulting in a tragic waste of men, women, and national treasure?

But this is reality.... Except for the fact that President Bush looks as if he will achieve his desired number one position but not for the goal upon which he initially set his sights. Instead of the most admired and effective President of the United States, if the polls remain the same -or as I imagine will get even worse,  the President will be the number one least admired and least effective President on record so far.

 So what can we say about the real essence of this administration? What are they really after? I think it is a tie between amassing as much money as they can collectively amass - notably from investments in oil ? - and power - pure naked, raw, pushy power.

And to think that it has been couched under the deceptive cloak of "faith based" - God on our side nonsense.

Hopefully come November the majority of electors will rise up and throw the bums out. But until that happens there is the slight problem of five and a half more months to suffer who knows what. Given the level of proven distrust what are we in for?

I truly hope I am wrong but I fear we  may well experience not only an October surprise but a June, July, August and September and even November batch of surprises as well. How about a "little" bombing of Iran for starters?

Over the top some of you say? What can be expected from a Bush hater, and a liberal one to boot? Call me what you want to but keep your eyes and ears glued to the White House. I think the present adminstration is not going out with a whimper but instead with a big bang. How so? What else do they have to lose?
