There is something about former President Dubya Bush’s press secretary Ari Fleischer’s face that has made me want to punch his nose for quite some time now. Maybe it’s his passive aggressiveness that I hate so much. He likes to talk as though what he is saying is just commonplace and accepted when it is in fact Neocon bile of the worst order. He is like a little weasel hiding in the shadows, ready to come out whenever he feels he can give his old bosses a shot in the arm. He is the worst of PR flacks, he actually believes his own bullshit.
Today, Fleischer tweeted this..
Regardless of what anyone thinks of going into Iraq in 2002, t’s a tragedy that the successes of the 2007 surge have been lost & abandoned.
There are so many things about that tweet that make me want to give Ari boy a nice shot in his big nose. “Regardless” he begins. Regardless of the lies that were told to both Congress and the American people that got us into this shit storm of a war. Regardless of the thousands of American boys and girls who were killed because of that lie. Regardless of the fact that hundreds of thousands of civilians, MANY of them women and children were murdered because of that lie. Regardless of the economic crash that nearly put us into a depression, and would have if not for Obama and the Democrats saving the country. Regardless…
Fleischer calls the 2007 surge a “success.” Did I miss something? He means the “successes” that followed shortly after? The constant bombings and daily terrorist attacks? The continued deaths of our soldiers and Iraqi civilians? Also maybe Fleischer has forgotten that his boss proclaimed “Mission Accomplished” years before the alleged successful surge. If the mission was accomplished why was a surge needed? Doesn’t accomplished mean done..finished..completed?
No you see Fleischer is full of shit. He is a liar. He was a paid liar. He continues to lie. He said those “successes” were “lost and abandoned” This is what Fleischer tweeted back in 2011…
O decision on Iraq is right one. I was open 2 staying if he made the case it wld help w Iran, but Iraq war is over. It’s time
So Fleischer was before ending the war in Iraq before he was for continuing it. No not really. He just lies and lies and lies. And now that he and his war loving (as long as they don’t have to go to war themselves) neocon buddies like John McCain, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz want to go back to Iraq and do it all over again, Fleischer was just hoping we didn’t find that tweet from three years ago. I’m surprised he didn’t just erase it the way all right wingers do when they want to pretend they didn’t say something that contradicts what they are now saying.
So Ari boy and his buddies are now blaming…you guessed it… Obama.. on the Sunni insurgency! The immense balls they must have (except for when they are asked to go to Iraq and fight). Yes they blame Obama for an insurgency that would never be happening if the Unites States didn’t get involved in Iraq in the first place. Memory check: Dubya Bush was responsible for that. Yes since Saddam Hussein was the only guy who kept things in check in Iraq, once we caused his ousting and murder, all hell broke loose. It hasn’t stopped since and probably will never stop. Memory check number two: This is all Dubya Bush’s fault.
Doesn’t matter though. There is Ari Fleischer with his bullshit tweets and John McCain with his chest beating, telling lies about how it’s all Obama’s fault. How things were going so damn well when Dubya Bush was in control. Yes there will be people who buy it. You know who they are. I have said it here many times before. The black President haters who always find new and inventive ways to blame him for anything and everything. You and I know better.
You and I know that the people running this country in 2001 saw what a loser Dubya Bush was. They knew he had just LOST the election and had no political cache. So they came up with a way to give him some and it was Iraq (you can decide for yourself whether 9/11 was a part of that plan or just a coincidence). They knew that the country would get behind their President when it came to fighting “terrorists” in Iraq and the hated bad guy Saddam Hussein. That isn’t the only reason we went to war but it is the MAIN reason.
So we are here now. With more strife in Iraq. And the same people are saying the same shit. They love two things more than anything else..war and hating Obama. When they can combine those things they get all hot and bothered. The lies come fast and furiously.
Fleischer really is the worst of them because he is everything that is wrong with the chicken hawk. He is a phony intellectual who spews hateful garbage in the most benign way. He is a spoiled wealthy brat.. a boy who talks big and then hides behind the bigger boys. A tough talker without a tough bone in his body.
He makes me sick.

Back in January, Glenn Beck saw the light and admitted that he played a role in “tearing the country apart” with his lies and misinformation.
“I think I played a role, unfortunately, in helping tear the country apart and it’s not who we are,” Beck said, as he spoke to Fox News’ Megyn Kelly. He continued, “I didn’t realize how really fragile the people were. I thought we were kind of more in it together and now I look back and realize, if we could’ve talked about the uniting principles instead of just the problems, I think I would look back more fondly.”
Well, that was then. Almost immediately after coming to terms with his destructive ways, Beck went to grabbing his part of the fragile fabric that makes up this nation and he continued to pull, ripping and tearing the country apart.
His most recent lie was telling his faithful followers that President Obama is getting ready to put Conservatives in Internment camps. Beck warned that the President and his policies are falling apart because of all the issues Obama is dealing with. Calling Obama a “spoiled child” Beck said that it is only a matter of time before the President gathers up all the conservatives and lock them away like the days of Hitler’s Germany!

President Obama used this week’s address to thank and encourage all the dads of America to continue doing what is necessary for their family. And he spoke about the upcoming White House Working Family Summit, where families will discuss the challenges they face in the workplace and ways to improve workplace policies to match those challenges.
That’s why, earlier this week, we brought working dads from across America to the White House to talk about the challenges they face. And in a few weeks, I’ll hold the first-ever White House Working Families Summit. We’ve still got too many workplace policies that belong in the 1950s, and it’s time to bring them up to date for today’s families, where oftentimes, both parents are working. Moms and dads deserve affordable child care, and time off to care for a sick parent or child without running into hardship. Women deserve equal pay for equal work – and at a time when more women are breadwinners for a family, that benefits men, too. And because no parent who works full-time should have to raise a family in poverty, it’s time for Congress to follow the lead of state after state, get on the bandwagon, and give America a raise.

The President of the United States spoke today about the unfolding crisis in Iraq and America’s role, if any, in bringing some form of stability to the country.

Usually, one remembers the dates that’s important to them. Their birthday, their anniversary, the year they graduated from high school or college, the year they invaded another nation and declared war on that nation… well, maybe that last one is not that important, especially when thousands of Americans died and tens of thousands of Americans lost limbs in said war. And who cares that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens lost their lives? Remembering the year we invaded Iraq is not a big deal.
Ari Fleischer, the former press secretary for George Bush, could not remember when he and the administration he worked for took this country into war. In an apparent attempt to criticize the Obama administration for the present security situation in that nation, Fleischer took to Twitter and tweeted this:
Just for the record, and in case other Bush mouthpieces wanted to get into this conversation, George Bust invaded Iraq in March of 2003.
After TalkingPointsMemo pointed this out in a post, Fleischer responded with a casual “thank you,” then stated that he must have hit the wrong key on his keyboard.
Yea, sure you did Fleischer! Sure you did!

Five teenagers and one 20-year-old could spend the rest of their natural life in prison for the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl. According to a report by the Waco Tribune, the men where indicted on a total of 91 counts. If convicted, the young males could be sentenced to 1,300 years each.
On April 23, Douglas Canada,19, and Da’Juan Degrate, 18, convinced the 15-year-old girl to cut school at Waco High School. The girl agreed to hang with her classmates at a home, but she soon discovered that four other men where also inside.
Canada took the girl to a restroom and allegedly raped her. The girl told police that after Canada finished, the other males took turns having sex with her in a bedroom.
Along with Canada and Degrate, the other men who were at the home include Devoric Javon Evans, 20; Lamont Tray Davis, 19; Day’tron Derrell Smith, 18; and Cory Darnell Hall, 18.
After the sexual act, Davis drove the girl back to her high school. She reported the assault and was taken to a hospital. Canada faces a maximum of 1,360 years in prison while the others face 1,340 years in prison.
The men face steep sentences because of a Texas law known as “acting in concert.” It makes every person at the scene of a crime responsible for the crime committed.

According to TMZ, an irate Michael Jackson fan is suing his Estate because she thinks MJ was not the lead singer on 3 of his songs on the 2010 CD, “Michael” … the first release after his death.
The woman filed the suit today in L.A. claiming she bought the disc in 2011, but didn’t hear enough Michael on 3 particular tracks.
In the suit she claims she hired an audio expert to analyze her CD and he determined it was very likely that MJ did not sing lead vocals on “Breaking News” … “Monster” … and “Keep Your Head Up.”
The woman wants this to be a class action — meaning if the allegation is true the Estate would owe money to everyone who bought the full album, or any of the 3 tracks in question.
The Estate’s lawyer, Howard Weitzman, has previously said Michael did provide lead vocals for all the tracks on the album.

He’s rude. He’s a pundit. Put those two together and you get rude punditry that, after you’ve past the rudeness, the punditry makes a whole lotta sense.
So Iraq is apparently falling into the hands of some very bad people and like expected, Republicans found their scapegoat.
As with everything else in their eyes, president Obama is to be blamed. After all, it was he who ended the decade old war in Iraq, a war that cost Americans over a trillion dollars and thousands of American lives. Obama even had the nerve to bring the remaining troops back home to their families. The Audacity!
So the uprising in Iraq now is obviously Obama’s fault. This according to Republican Senator John McCain.
“Everybody in his national security team, including the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ought to be replaced,” the Arizona Republican warmonger said. “It’s a colossal failure of American security policy.”
Of course, Senator John McCain and all of his warmongering buddies in Congress who decided to invade a country that had nothing to do with September 11th, are now deflecting blame to Barack Obama, the one man in Washington that stood against the Iraq invasion from the very beginning.
But the Republicans and their deflection game is being called out, and no one calls them out better than The Rude Pundit!
Once more, Barack Obama’s presidency is swallowed and squandered by the devastated landscape George W. Bush left behind.
Obama is already getting the blame for the uprisings, the Sunni on Shiite violence, the radical Kurds taking what they always wanted (aided by average, everyday Kurds). It’s like blaming your current lover for the herpes you got from some dude ten years ago because he’s there and why the fuck not direct your rage at someone who is convenient instead of yourself and your own stupid decisions.

When nearly 300 Nigerian school girls were kidnapped by the terrorist group Boko Haram and went missing in April, the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls became a rallying call to draw attention to the crime and to demand action.
Nations, including the United States, sent resources to Africa in hopes of finding those girls while every day, here in America, scores of black people go missing with little or no fanfare or calls to action.
The National Crime Information Center reports that more than 270,000 minorities have been reported missing since 2010. Almost half of that number is made up of African-Americans, and roughly 64,000 are African-American girls and women.
Where’s the hangtag? Where’s the media attention? Where’s the movement?
Silence.

Chris Christie is in damage control mode.
The New Jersey governor – presently involved in multiple sandals involving the closing of lanes on the George Washington Bridge and political retribution using federal Sandy relief funds – was apparently told that staying out of the spotlight and allowing the scandals to fester would harm his 2016 presidential prospects. So he began a comedy routine to take people’s mind off the damages caused by his administration.
He made a scheduled stop at the Jimmy Falcon show last night and felt the need to dance. Things must be great in the Christie camp!
After an awkward dance off, Chris Christie was asked questions regarding the Republican Party. Topics included Eric Cantor, leadership in the party, and a question about whether he could win if he went up against Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Conversation went something like this with Fallon asking a hypothetical.
“Hypothetically, you run for president. Hypothetically, Hillary Clinton runs for president. Hypothetically, do you think you can beat her?”
“Hypothetically? You bet,” Christie said.
“In a dance-off,” Fallon responded.
“That’s what I was talking about,” Christie said. “What were you talking about?”
