Bush Shenanigans and Parting Shots
I was visiting Skippy the Bush Kangaroo and reading how the outgoing Prez is sticking it to poor people again–this time by upping premiums and co-payments for doctors’ services, hospital care and prescription drugs through Medicaid. The policy change allows states turn away broke folks who can’t afford premiums.
But wait! There’s more…Bush administration aides are working furiously to make sure the government cannot keep workers safe from toxic chemical exposure.
And thinning the impoverished, hard-working herd isn’t enough…Bush is also determined to see the environment tore up even more by easing constraints on oil shale development. Gas companies, banks, and corporate farms are also lining up for parting favors.

Good riddance to his corrupt old ass. He can’t be kicked to the curb fast enough for me.
How does he sleep at night? I just don’t understand it. As if he hasn’t done enough damage in the past almost-8 years….he has to try to cram as much more damage down our throats as he can before Jan. 20?
He makes me literally sick.
The nightmare is almost over.
Yep, we need to just bend over and take our gang banging like Girley Men.
i just saw chimpy on tv saying that obama’s victory was a repudiation of the rethug party, not him! doesn’t anyone allow him to see his approval numbers? arrogant moron!
I saw footage of Bush yesterday being praised for his AIDS policy. He looked embarrassed that THIS is the thing he is being recognized for. Creep.
The only thing he should be recognized for is target practice. Can you nominate someone for that?!?
Can you believe that he got the Big Medal of Irony? What the hay.
are these being done via executive order? I can’t see how otherwise
You’ve got it, douglas…the White House Office of Management and Budget ordered the Energy Department to a kill new environmentally responsible regulations.
Which one is worse, Nixon or Bush?
Bush.
the conservative party that gave birth to them
True, and Cheney bided his time to make sure his puppet Bush didn’t surrender power like Nixon. Nixon didn’t utterly paralyze the opposition party, didn’t market fear, didn’t attempt to purge habeas corpus, didn’t spend 1/4 of his presidency on vacation, didn’t let an American city drown, didn’t utterly corrupt and politicize the Department of Justice so that it was an extension of White House.
Nixon was cold, but everyone knew it. Bush is cold and smiles.
You know, I’m beginning to miss Nixon…..
You know I remember my mom making me watch Nixon’s resignation speech. I thought of that when I made my boys watch election night coverage. Much better occasion.
