President Bush Sings Farewell to a Hilarious Presidency

LibertySugar — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:00:19 -0700

An unauthorized cellphone video of the American President-turned-American Idol has leaked on the Internet. Last weekend at the Gridiron, an annual roast attended by political journalists, President Bush sang a lighthearted ode to his time in the White House. His serenade was met with chuckles, applause, and a standing ovation.

I'm a little confused why the country's best journalists find the inept response to Hurricane Katrina, obstruction of justice by a top administration aide, and other Bush highlights, so absolutely side-splitting.

Now that the Bush Presidency is in its twilight, are you prepared to laugh at a musical recitation of its many scandals and crises sung by the President himself? To see the lyrics, read more.
Lyrics:

Yes you're all gonna miss me, The way you used to quiz me, But soon I'll touch the brown, brown grass of home.

I spent my days clearing brush
I clear my head of all the fuss
But the fuss you made over Harriet and Brownie
Down the lane I look and here comes Scooter
Finally free of the prosecutor

Chorus

And then I wait and look around me
At the oval walls that surround me
I realize I was only dreaming
For there's Condi and Dick, my old compadre,
Talking to me about some oil rich Saudi,
But soon I'll touch the brown brown grass of home.

Chorus

That old White house is behind me,
I am once again carefree,
Don't have to worry 'bout a crisis in Pyongyang.
Down the lane I look, Dick Cheney is strolling
With documents he'd been withholding,
It's good to touch the brown brown grass of home.

Should Bush White House Be Investigated for Crimes?

LibertySugar — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 09:00:03 -0700

Until last week, legal experts doubted George W. Bush, or anyone in his administration, would face criminal charges after his presidency finished.

But, revelations that top Bush administration officials participated in explicit conversations in the White House regarding torture techniques to be used on suspected terrorists have these experts taking a second look.

Presidential candidate Barack Obama has promised he would have his justice department investigate the Bush administration for war crimes - but seeks a balance between pursuing justice and orchestrating a finger-pointing circus. Obama said,

What I would want to do is to have my Justice Department and my Attorney General immediately review the information that's already there and to find out are there inquiries that need to be pursued. I can't prejudge that because we don't have access to all the material right now. I think that you are right, if crimes have been committed, they should be investigated. You're also right that I would not want my first term consumed by what was perceived on the part of Republicans as a partisan witch hunt because I think we've got too many problems we've got to solve.

So what do you think? Should the country move on, and let the commuted Scooter Libby be the sole (symbolic) legal casualty of Bush's scandals? Are investigations even necessary?
