man of conviction

Classified information is leaked to Bob Novak who exposes an undercover CIA agent.

Whitehouse: We will fire anyone involved in this leak.

Early reports point out that Karl Rove was involved with all 6 reporters who knew of the leak.

Whitehouse: We will fire anyone responsible for the leak.

Evidence is turned over to court that Karl Rove leaked classified information to reporters and Matt Cooper agrees to testify against Rove.

Whitehouse: We will fire anyone who is convicted of a crime related to leaking classified information.

What's next? We will fire anyone who is photographed beating Valerie Plame with a purple dildo while wearing mismatched socks! Ah, that George Bush. What a man of conviction.

On a side note, I'd just like to compare George W Bush with someone who is far more of a man than he'll ever be: his father. Amusingly Karl Rove also worked for the Bush Sr campaign back in 1992 and was up to his usual dirty tricks back then. In fact, he obviously hasn't changed much because he leaked sensative information about Bush's opponents to none other than Bob Novak. Even though Novak similarly refused to testify and Rove could not be prosecuted for it, Bush Sr saw only one morally right option and fired Karl Rove. If only his son had the cojones to do the same thing.

gallup polled

Whenever I read a poll about the President's approval rating or what Americans think about Terri Schiavo I wonder who was called. A group of 1000 (not really) random people out of the 300 million Americans were surveyed and from this selection the national pulse was taken. Being one who likes to voice my opinion I always think to myself "dammit Gallup, call me sometime."

Well, I answered the phone last night and much to my surprise it was Gallup asking for a member of the household at least 18 years of age. Sure enough they asked me the regular questions that you see on the news. Do I approve of how the President is doing his job? What do I think of the economy? Do I think the Iraq war is worth it? It was kind of cool to be polled. Since I am probably one of about 1000 people polled I suppose I represent 0.1% of the US population in this week's poll results. Nearly 300,000 people. Shut up fools, I'm speakin' now.

Watch for next week's CNN headline, "According to a recent Gallup poll Ryan Cox says Bush is a weenie".
