Notes from Vava Va Voom, Nor'eastern correspondent

Seems impossible that any leader in a non-
totalitarian country can be as limited as
our own Liar George. However, the vastly
overated Man O' War Blair is giving it a go.
Tony is playing the stalking horse game in
Iranian waters for the Bush/Cheney crime
family. A no win situation for England..
**************
Bob Ceiger, in a column in Huff Po hit the
nails head when his titled blog "When the
Repugs have nothing to say they yell al
Qaida". He provides comments from such
limited leaders as Brownback, McConnell,
Bond and Ensign, who championed their
ignorance of the street facts of Iraq.Thank
God Bob also quoted Feingold and Biden
who recaptured the realism of that awful
civil war.
SJ wrote a short blog on Nov. 28, '06 he
headlined as "Stop The Presses". Pres.
Bush had just blamed the Iraqi mayhem
on al Qaida. SJ tried to lend some humor
to the lack of understanding Bush exhibits
in his babbling about the war he began.SJ
learned it's pretty damn tough trying to
put humor into Bush's Iraqi mess.

Vava Va Voom says in the months prior to
imploding any adminisration is at its most
dangerous.We never really know how far
desperate people will reach.In the case of
Bush & Company we can certainly look for
more killing and maiming in Iraq. More
lying and corruption will be uncovered by
the Demo Congress in Iraq and here at
home.Watch for an attack on Syria. They
seem to be our weakest "enemy". If you
can predict something, anything, the
Bush/Cheney crime family can do to
divert attention from their abundant
failures call your friendly bookie and bet
your money they'll do it.

No matter who wins the White House in
2008 they should look no further than
Elizabeth Holtzman to be the next Att-
orney General. She's a brilliant legal
scholar as well fair and balanced dis-
ciplinarian. Their would be none of the
BS that's going on now with the curr-
ent band of clowns in that agency.
Look her up, creeds are oustanding.

Katie Couric On 60 Minutes

Did you ever see anything like Couric's
qiuzzing of the Edwards about her cancer?
Talk about poor taste! Perhaps Katie didn't
write the questions, but if there was any
there there Couric could have refused to
follow the barbaric script .

It's about time CBS and Couric admitted a
huge floperoo and send her to the showers
to handle Anna Nicole, Brittany, Paris and
other fluff.

A MYSTERY FOR HISTORY

Bush/Cheney caring for the faithful

Ever hear of Lester Crawford? Well, listen up. Tis a
nefarious story that breeds wonderment & dismay. Les
is about 67, married w/children, DVM from Auburn,
Ph.D, pharmacology, U. of Georgia. Dep. commish of
FDA, 2/25/02, Commish, 7/15/06, resigned 9/15/06,
"effective immediately".

Now for a taste of mind-boggling devilment. When
Les was nominated for deputy Commish in 2002, by
Bush/Cheney, he was being investigated for making
false statements to Congress and have an affair
with an employee of the agency.

Just prior to being nominated by Bush/Cheney for
Commish in 2006 Lester was being investigated for
financial improprieties & false statements to Cong-
ress. Not withstanding the above, the Repugs on the
Senate Health Committee & the controling Repug
senate confirmed ol' Les & sent him to both jobs.

Two months after becoming boss Dearest Daddy Craw-
ford resigned his office (Sept,'06. In October of
'06 he pled guilty in Federal District Court to
falsely reporting ownership of the companies
stock he regulated & failing to declare income
from stock options. Methinks Les Baby had a heluva
time with the truth.

A few questions: Isn't this corruption gone amuck?
Who vetted this liar & crook & sent an O.k. to Bush
to nominate him? Has Bush ever checked into to this?
Did Cheney have any part of the vetting? Who was
chair of the Senate Health that approved him? What
are the names of Committee members that voted for
Les?

Know how much time he was sentenced to? NOT a single
day. He got probation & a fine. How did he get before
that judge who has a rep as one not afraid to put a
guilty person in the hoosegow? Why is the sentence so
totally out of sync with the crime?

There are a couple of "ughs" in this mis-carrriage of
justice. After Lester resigned he was given a job as
a lobbyist for Political Directions,Inc., a govern-
ment relations and strategic communications firm. It
was a 1995 invention, but seems to be a Repug strong-
hold for the errant faithful. Ace reporter Miami
Maria wants to be turned loose on this one.

And the second "ugh" is fairly obvious, but brutally
true. That paragon of perfection, Lester Crawford,
donated 10 grand to the Grand Old Party.

You think you or I could get away with what he did
and be given a job & probation?? We'd be sent to Bagdad.
