Lovely lib links:
Justin Rood at TPM Muckraker connects CIA director-nominee Hayden to “a top executive at the company at the center of the Cunningham bribery scandal.”
Elisabeth Bumiller reports that the President is occupied by plans for the presidential library he will build after he leaves office. He wants the library to include a public policy center. Jeez, who knew Bush had any interest in public policy?
You just can’t make this stuff up. George W. Bush reportedly wants to start a think tank once he leaves office, dedicated to “the spread of democracy and Alexis de Tocqueville’s vision of America as a nation made better by its “associations,” or community groups.” Sigh. Truth is, I think I’d rather bowl alone than bowl with Bush.
Good’n, Ezra!
The view from Germany, via Spiegal Online: “For some time now, the president has become an observer of his own political decline.”
Paul Craig Roberts, “A Nation of Waitresses and Bartenders.”
Stop the General Hayden nomination dead in it’s tracks blogswarm!
I wonder who told the decider to mention de Toqueville? Like the idiot even has a clue……..
There might be trouble filling up the shrub library when they refuse to release anything. Oh well, I guess they can just use Fox news transcripts.
I don’t think he can have a library since he’s barely literate. Maybe a “books on tape” library would be better.
…maybe not shelves of books. Their jackets would probably suffice, the flashier the better.
