As Bush's Texas gang continues to jump the sinking ship, Bush could potentially turn to another one in Clay Johnson III (Bush's old roommate and frat brother!) to run Homeland Security if Michael Chertoff would leave. James Moore weighs in on the relationship of Bush and Johnson and who might even still be willing to fill positions in this administration besides a loyalist. Johnson's resume includes no terrorism or security experience but he did sit on the board of Frito Lays! Check out the video to your right for more.

Digg!

Gonzo Beans is going. No more sniffing The Monkey King's crotch to find out what to do. And just when he was really getting good at the lies and "I don't recalls". Someone should post his picture on a pedophile site and make the rest of his cheesy life not worth living.

This cheeseass administration has really served up a bunch of excremental cretins. Doesn't it make you proud to be an American?

I heard Keith Oberman is going back to Sports Broadcasting--Does anyone have more info on this? Will he continue doing his Show, or does anyone know who will replace or spell him?
I appreciate Keith's Show--it is truly the only place you can go on Television for REAL fair & balanced News! So I hope he continues his entertaining, insightful, and knowledgable career--we need more like him!

NBC wants Kieth to do sports commentary ONLY. Don't be suprised if they push him in that direction. They've got to muzzle him SOMEHOW!

Sucks, doesn't it?

...Johnson is qualified, he sits on the Board of Frito Lay, is a Texan(they know everything, their big hats cover a swelled corrupt mind of endless selfishness) and another dim bulb Rethuglikkkan just full of right wing Texass religion. And Bush, the Bush crime family and the State of Texass can continue destroying America, of course for their own profits. Profit is their true god and political corruption is their true religion.

I've gone through 63yrs of life never hating anyone, but now at the end of my life I just hate these right winger for what they are doing to America.

I hate the Catholic religion, my religion, for being a part of this cabal of horrors, evil, death and corruption. I despise the current and previous Popes for being lapdogs and enablers of this hypocrisy of death.

They are all the biggest collection of corrupt, small minded, mean spirited, vicious people in America.

Bush has friends?

Did this guy ever have real friends? I doubt.
If he wasn't a president he wouldn't get a room at a hotel.

What the man needs to do is asemble a team of his harshest, most vocal, most intelligent critics, and really pay them enough to figure out a way to salvage this disaster. It can be done, but that's what it's going to take. And of course, he then doing exactly what they suggest every step of the way without a shred of doubt.

I think most of them would welcome the chance, surprisingly. Simply because they'd feel they could truly help the guy when all his sycophant fawners and his own desire for worship at all costs failed him miserably.

I think even Olbermann would relish the challenge.
