"People bombing other people -- [long pause] -- people using bombs to kill other people is -- uh -- for religious purposes is -- uh -- is simple terror."

One of the dumbest things Bushie boy has ever said -- from a press conference about a month ago.

This line from the Fineman Newsweek article should be cause for enormous outrage. The Bushies think that Americans who want answers are rats. and whacking the rats is the way to shut us up.

Go to Hell, George W Bush. Your master is waiting.

WHACKING THE RATS
Soon after Bush's chesty Mansfield Room talk, Team Bush gathered
itself, and fought back hard -- "whacking the rats," as the aide
put it. They dispatched Vice President Dick Cheney to wave the
patriotic flag at a political dinner in New York, where he warned
critics not to make "incendiary comments" that are "totally
unworthy of national leaders in time of war." The Bushies even
took the unprecedented step of wheeling out Laura Bush to defend
her husband. Traveling in Budapest, Hungary, Mrs. Bush stayed up
late to watch a Condi Rice briefing. The next morning the First
Lady volunteered to reporters that it was "very sad that people
would play upon the victims' families' emotions, or all Americans'
emotions."
