U.A.E. Port Deal part of secret plan to trade Michael Vick to the Saints. Worldeater Bush: Novelist Michael Chrichton meets Bush, further cementing his legend among critics as a brazen, arrogant criminal. The meeting was even kept secret....it was also arranged by none other than....wait for it....Karl Rove....oooh! I wonder if the Senate will hold hearings? Are Articles of Impeachment looming? What? No Congressional Oversight? Add this to your favorite list of atrocities at Impeach Bush.com .net or.org, take your pick:
One of the perquisites of being president is the ability to have the author of a book you enjoyed pop into the White House for a chat. Over the years, a number of writers have visited President Bush, including Natan Sharansky, Bernard Lewis and John Lewis Gaddis. And while the meetings are usually private, they rarely ruffle feathers. Now, one has. In his new book about Mr. Bush, "Rebel in Chief: Inside the Bold and Controversial Presidency of George W. Bush," Fred Barnes recalls a visit to the White House last year by Michael Crichton, whose 2004 best-selling novel, "State of Fear," suggests that global warming is an unproven theory and an overstated threat. Mr. Barnes, who describes Mr. Bush as "a dissenter on the theory of global warming," writes that the president "avidly read" the novel and met the author after Karl Rove, his chief political adviser, arranged it. He says Mr. Bush and his guest "talked for an hour and were in near-total agreement." "The visit was not made public for fear of outraging environmentalists all the more," he adds. And so it has, fueling a common perception among environmental groups that Mr. Crichton's dismissal of global warming, coupled with his popularity as a novelist and screenwriter, has undermined efforts to pass legislation intended to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide, a gas that leading scientists say causes climate change.
Iraqis under curfew, it was interesting to listen to war critics salivate at the prospect of civil war. Hopefully that can be averted.
Alistair Cooke's remains carved up and sold to transplanters in "organlegging" ring:
The owner of a biomedical supply house and three others were charged with selling body parts for use in transplants in a scheme a district attorney called "something out of a cheap horror movie." Prosecutors said Thursday the defendants made millions of dollars obtaining bodies from funeral parlors in three states and forging death certificates and organ donor consent forms to make it look as if the bones, skin, tendons, heart valves and other tissue were legally removed. The indictment was the first set of charges to come out of a widening scandal involving scores of funeral homes and hundreds of bodies, including that of "Masterpiece Theatre" host Alistair Cooke, who died in 2004. The investigation has raised fears that some of the body parts could spread disease to transplant recipients.
Somewhere, someone is blaming the Bush administration's easing of slaughterhouse or funeral home regulations for this, or better yet they will imply that some of Alistair's parts found their way to the Bush dinner table as part of a "secret deal," I just know it.
More Gore:
He'll probably Blame Bush in a future speech for Al-Jazeera: Dickhead's fledgling TV network in trouble, probably because of lawsuits brought on by Bush's out of control puritanical, pitchfork wielding FCC regulations...
From Boortz.com:
Charles Krauthammer has a good one today. The Democrats, all up in arms over this Dubai ports deal, say it's bad for national security. But would they allow a citizen of the UAE to be racially profiled at an airport with additional security?
...a point I raised yesterday.
