Helen Thomas' Best Question Ever

At Monday's Press Briefing, Presidential Spokeswoman Dana Parino couldn't find any way of rationally explaining how the Vice President could both be and not be part of the Executive Branch...and kept offering a series of ever desperate reasons why she couldn't say any more about it.
Finally Helen Thomas got tired of it all and commented (on microphone):

We should get someone out here who can answer our questions.

Masters of Delete

While other aspects of leadership might
still elude them, they sure know how
to use that DELETE key.

Email messages are missing from more than 50 White House Officials. According to a new report:
Given the heavy reliance by White House officials on RNC e-mail accounts, the high rank of the White House officials involved, and the large quantity of missing e-mails, the potential violation of the Presidential Records Act may be extensive."


Not to mention the potential loss of amazing financial opportunities from Nigeria!

The Urge to Surge

Those fearing negative reports from the War in Iraq, take heart. According to White House Press Spokesman Tony Snow, the calvary is coming!

Q: Are there any members of the Bush family or this administration in this war?
SNOW: Yeah, the President. The President is in the war every day.
Q: Come on, that isn’t my question –
SNOW: Well, no, if you ask any president who is a commander in chief –
Q: On the frontlines, wherever…
SNOW: The President.


So THIS is what they meant by "shock and awe."

THE ADVENTURES OF BOSSY AND HARRIET

Subpoenas were issued today for Harriet Miers

and other Presidential favorites to testify about suspicious goings-on amongst his legal inner circle.

White House spokeswoman Dana Pareno said this was merely an effort of Democrats to "find drama."

"Why don't they just invade another country, like we do?"

Too Many Irans In The Fire

Bill Krystol's Weekly (Sub)Standard has more encouraging words about the plans of brighter minds than ours of dropping bombs on Iran.

"What could possibly go wrong?" they ask.

Oh no.. it's time for......

Another cakewalk!

Huckabee Recommends Guantanamo This Summer

Republican Presidential contender Mike Huckabee, obviously much more knowledgeable than Colin Powell, Sunday praised conditions at Guantanamo.

"I can tell you most of our prisoners would love to be in a facility more like Guantanamo and less like the state prisons that people are in in the United States."

Paris Hilton, equally knowledgeable on penal matters, was not immediately available for comment.

No War Left Behind

Senator "I start em, you fight em" Joe Lieberman on Sunday declared that it's time for a military strike on Iran.

Most of us are content to just order up a pizza on Sunday.

Joe's not afraid of something a little stronger...just as long as it's others taking the risks and doing the dying.

Home Furnishings Sale (some items not included)

Louisiana Senator William Jefferson pledges "we will sell every stick of furniture in our home and anything else we may own to pursue justice and clear our name."

Wonder if that goes for the freezer.

"This Is Not A Phallic Symbol, signed Peter Pace"

General Peter Pace, best known for picking a peck of pickled peppers, was suddenly
removed from his position as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Pace made news months ago with his statement that

"I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that [the U.S. military] should not condone immoral acts..."
Killing is just fine, of course.
And between three individuals he's still pondering.

PRESIDENT PROMISES TO REDUCE HIS GAS EMISSIONS

The crowd at the G-8 conference roar as

the President attempts to distract attendees
with a series of fart jokes.

Pooh-poohing the conference overall, he told attendees:
"G-8? I thought I was having a V8!"
