So Olson was the smoke screen to get the moron.org, ooops, moveon.org (same thing really) to punch themselves out. Same thing that happened with the SC nominees.

Cheney is slithering out from under his rock - but any candidate endorsed by Cheney will be slimed with the same gooey gunk.

This will be yet another political hack. Bush cant pick any differently. He is running out of friends though. Most folks are running away from him.

There is The shrub now on TV announcing his pick. Sounds like he will get confirmed. How much more damage could be done?

Maybe a "law-and-order" Republican can root out the corruption in the DOJ and the White House. Nope, he will probably turn out to be to the justice department what Larry Craig and Mark Foley were as upholders of anti-gay and anti-molestation ideals.

Greenspan didn't speak up when he was in office because he held to the "Reagen 11th Commandment" and because his rich friends have benefitted from the tax cuts.

Robert Catalano, Salem, OR --Looks like his rich friends gave him a few calls this weekend. He as recanted his published statement about the War being for oil. So much for courage under fire. You would think some enterprising reporter might press him on the matter. It certainly calls into question the veracity of anything else in the book.

Despite his backing off on the question of Iraq being about oil, I believe Greenspan's book will be another nail in the coffin of the Bush legacy. The way he criticized the Bush economic policy and praised Clinton's was very important. The Repubs are going to be busy putting out fires during this important year. I do feel if the people going after Greenspan's statement about the Iraq war want more than a token gain from this move, they need to come up with a plausible explanation as to what the hell the Iraq war was about. It's probably no better than being all about oil, and may be worse. Also, as best I can recall, the Bush/Cheney team has never apologized to the Iraqi people or the American people for being responsible for the worst and stupidest blunder in American history, and one that far and away has caused more damage to America and the world that anything Osama has done to date and is likely to do in the future. Just the monetary excesses alone deserve life imprisonment for these two piss ants, and the money stolen by Halliburton et all while these two were looking the other way amounts to more than all the stage coach and train robberies, the bank robberies and all other monetary crimes from the beginning of our history to the present, including Enron. If they did nothing for the rest of the year but sit on their hands and shut the hell up, just the residual repercussions from the crimes they've already committed would amount to a dozen Teapot Dome scandals a day until both of them are six feet under. Yet these two a-holes continue to act like everything they do is just fine. And if we let them walk, they will be right. Oh, guess why they can get away with it? Give up? Big Biz has their backs. The Bush administration has been extremely profitable to America's super wealthy.

Anyone recall what Paul O'Neil wrote in his book - Price of Loyalty? Paul O'Neil's reasons for leaving the Bush Administration are the same things that Greenspan is now talking about.

An administration that puts politics first instead of the merits of any issue - National Security, Education, Economy, Health Care, Judiciary, you name it. We are in a big hole with what these guys have done to our Country.

Mr. Greenspan may have in fact advised the republican administration on their spending and it has always been patently obvious that cheney wanted Iraq oil after his undocumented energy policy meeting with all the principal oil companies, but what his book offers is only a preview of what is destined to come out. I hate rats, but I hate more the rats that eat their own. No honor amoungst theves. I expect we will see a few more good fellas surfacing.
