To Brooks, "too much" regulation caused the mess on Wall Street this past week. In addition, Brooks also <strong>said Bush has had "a FANTASTIC last three years</strong>, starting with the Surge".

Does anyone know who writes this sleight of hand lies for Perino? Also, why McCain is getting hammered for his BS lies and Bush is getting the pass? I suspect dollars and/or threats are still coming from the Bush lie artists..

Eliott Spitzer outed quickly. His piece in the Washington Post prompted some serious political payback from the Bushies. The Repugnicant party found a VP candidate who likes to make her opponents suffer. Their presidential nominee is the poster boy for anger unmanaged.
