Before our current "Liar In Chief," Tony Snow assumed the position of spin master for the lies, arrogance and incompetence of the Bush administration, before Scott McClellan demonstrated his own knack for incompetence as White House Press Secretary, there was Ari Fleischer.

Well, now Ari is making the rounds being a cheerleader for the "Surge." He spoke to Joe Scarborough this morning on Joe's new show which is a feeble attempt to replace a genius: Don Imus.

The boys discussed the "success" of the surge. Al Anbar province has become the beacon of shining success in Iraq. The Sunnis there, they say, have turned against Al Queda and "seen the light" of American freedom.

In the words of that famous philosopher John Belushi in the courtroom scene from "Animal House:" BULLSHIT! BLOWJOB!

I've said before I get dizzy listening to the pundits on the right. The spin is really out of control this time. This "success" reminds me of another "success." Remember how a group in Afghanistan joined us to fight the "evil" Soviet Union's occupation? Let me see... What were they called? Oh, yeah, the Taliban!

So let me get this straight, "Georgie." Let me get this straight, Ari. The Sunnis in Al Anbar have joined us to get rid of their enemies, Al Queda in Iraq. Then what? We'll be buddies forever? NO! We help them get Al Queda out of their province, then they become even bigger heroes to average "Ali" and all the regular folks in Iraq. Then what? Everything is rosy and we share a little Cabernet and toast Democracy? NO! They turn on their next worst enemy, US!

Same S*#t, Different Day!

Meanwhile, back in the REST of Iraq... Al Queda moves one province over and establishes another stronghold for "their" particular evil. Whack-A-Mole!

Fleischer is fronting a new "Group" which I refuse to promote here. No doubt funded by the same wealth that put "Georgie" and his puppet masters in control of our Executive Branch. And, not surprisingly, just in time to SPIN the media through the upcoming '08 election.

I have to go lie down now. They've done it again. I'm getting a little dizzy.

Fourteen American servicemen were killed in the crash of a Blackhawk helicopter:

Officials are now saying "mechanical issues" brought the chopper down.

Now if I'd heard that news on "Faux" News, I'd be more cynical but the thought still crossed my mind that "Georgie" and his bunch of puppetmasters have lied so much...

About "Mission Accomplished." About Pat Tillman's death. About WMD's. About... Well, you get the picture.

Then it occurred to me... Maybe it's not really that difficult to spin this. Maybe "mechanical issues" really did bring down that helicopter. After a little thought I realized that an RPG through an engine could, technically cause "mechanical issues." Even a 50 caliber round or two through a hydraulic line could be called "mechanical issues."

Hey, in a world where former CIA chief Tenet deserves the Presidential Medal Of Freedom for his extreme competence and good works in the lead-up to 9/11, ANYTHING is possible!

I really don't mean to make light of this tragedy. Fourteen more brave Americans are dead because of this administration's arrogance, incompetence and greed. The total is over 3,700 now and who knows where it will stop?

Until Congress finds the courage to stand up to these monsters and end this quagmire "THEY" started, the death toll will continue to climb.

"We The People" spoke last November but nobody in Washington listened. "THEY" made empty promises in order to get our votes. "THEY" knew their weren't enough votes to actually bring about any change. The Republicans in Congress are rolling on the floor in the back room laughing because they have been able to stop every serious challenge to this administration. Well, "We The People" are watching, guys and gals.

If "Georgie" and the rest of the monsters in power don't declare martial law and stop the '08 election, "We The People" will have another chance to speak. I hope our voices are loud and clear to the Republicans who have slowed or blocked every action of the new Democratic majority.

All the investigations, indictments, subpoenas and prosecutions should follow this bunch until justice is served. If impeachment takes too long... Try them for war crimes and crimes against humanity after they leave office. But "We The People" MUST continue to fight this evil. For if we let it stand, future politicians will take that as a sign of our weakness and some future George W. Bush or Dick "The Monster" Cheney will attempt to do it all again in the name of "patriotism" or "Homeland Security."

"We The People" MUST continue to scream against this hurricane which has torn our constitution to shreds. "We The People" MUST fight to regain our civil liberties! If we don't, "We The People" deserve what these monsters have brought upon us.

OK... Maybe, technically, it's not a sonnet. Maybe it's the perfect Country & Western song lyric. Oh, wait. I forgot to say anything about Mama or trains or gettin' drunk.

Here it is for my Buddy Glenn and all you other fellow bloggers out there who might need a smile:

Dream Team

When you divorced me, my trailer left too!

My truck ain’t that comfy, I’m beggin’ you

Please come back Darlin’ oh, why can’t you see

You and that trailer were perfect for me.

The guys at the truck stop are cryin’ too.

Two of ‘em got bit when I walked old “Blue.”

I miss your biscuits and gravy, it’s true .

But most of all Darlin’ I’m missin’ you.

I promise to treat your mama so sweet

She’ll think I’m a diff’rent man when we meet.

And your brothers can keep all that money

They borrowed, just come back to me, Honey.

Our lives will be just like peaches and cream.

‘Cause you and me, Darlin’ we're a dream team.

"They" allowed New Orleans to be destroyed. "They" waited days to pay attention to the stranded, thirsty and starving victims of Katrina. But this time.... This time "They" will pay attention. This time it's a REAL tragedy!

Hurricane Dean is about to strike the Cayman Islands. You know.. The place where all "Their" hidden, offshore money is stored. I'm certain the Bush administration is right on top of this REAL tragedy.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070820/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/tropical_weather

Let's see, "they" can't send in National Guard troops for relief. The Caymans aren't exactly subject to our control. What, then, can "they" do? It's a REAL tragedy! All that money might get blown away! Or dissolved in the salty "surge" for lack of a better term!

Never mind. It's probably all been electronically transferred to "their" accounts in Swiss banks or, in "Georgie's" case he may just be letting the Saudi Royal Family hold on to it until the storm passes.

I'm getting dizzy again. Gotta take another "Bush" inspired nap. They are needed more and more frequently lately.

What's that sound? Why is that black helicopter hovering above me?

AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

See you all at Gitmo!

When all is said and done, long after Iraq has been abandoned by the Neo-Con monsters who are responsible for this quagmire, the families of the brave Americans who died there will still be paying the price.

If this doesn't break your heart, nothing can:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070818/ap_on_re_us/grief_camp

"Georgie" and Dick "The Monster" Cheney and "Rummy" and the rest should be forced to sit in a chair facing each of the children and spouses of the slain. They should be ashamed. They are responsible. The blood of every human being killed in Iraq is on their hands.

Karl Rove... I hope when the Devil greets you in Hell and sends you to that special corner where the heat is most intense, that corner reserved for this administration, that corner where you'll join the other true monsters of humanity whose demise preceeded yours, I hope you pay for eternity!

Now, back to reality.

Because these Demons have long ago sold their souls, there is little hope they will have to pay for what they've done. But if I had one wish it would be that they ALL had to face these children for a few minutes. I wish they were forced to look into the eyes of these fatherless, mourning children who could hug Dad and give him a good night kiss tonight except for their greed, arrogance, corruption and incompetence.

Sleep well, "Georgie." Sleep well, Dick "The Monster" Cheney. Sleep well, Donald "Rummy" Rumsfeld. Sleep well, Alberto Gonzales. And sleep especially well, Karl Rove. You all deserve that "special" hot place for eternity.
