Dan Abrams: Bush League Justice: Steven Bradbury

[RusselBertrand]

As George Orwell noted in 1946, A man may take to drink because he feels himself a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts

Good stuff! My favorite Orwell quote is the one about the future: "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever."

I thank God everyday that these MOFOs (the Bush bunch) are out of power. Our country may never recover from the damage they have done to it.

What surplus?I guess you missed the fact that some of the books had been cooked!By the way it was projected revues,huge difference,thats what happens when you bet on the come! Bush had inherited a recession among other things!Clinton lack the balls,or better yet the inability to deal with OBL,and Iraq may have something to do with this so-called surplus!Let's not forget how well he handled North Korea!Clinton pass on the plan on drilling ANWR, be nice to have that oil coming in now!Be real!

[TheShamanSZ]

Are we talking about the same OBL Bush Jr. forgot about before 9/11? Certainly, Clinton made some mistakes, but if you try to blame everything bad that happened during Bush's mandate on Clinton, you're being dishonest.

[arubberball]

Sorry the facts point out Clinton failed to reacted the terror threats! No President Bush may some mistakes, by think the Democrats, and most of the world would grow a pair of ball's!That the news media outlets, would spend more time demonizes the Terrorist, instead of the US military 24/7, these few issues might have may things move some what smother...you think! You guy's work well with hindsight being 20/20! You let hate for one MAN blind you! Sell crazy some where else, I'm all stocked up!

[TheShamanSZ]

Oh, fer chrissake... Look, you are getting way carried away here. I don't know what media you've been looking, but NONE of what I've seen "demonizes" the US military, especially more than the terrorists. Not even Al-jazeera did that. People have criticized the military, but hey, if you don't criticize something, it won't improve. In the USSR no one was allowed to criticize the organs, and look where it got them.

I'm completely in love with Dan Abrams for his no BS, down to the point style of reporting. He's the only one I trust with my news.

[arubberball]

Hey smart guy, the President has the right to nominate who ever he wants! That's part of winning the White House! Try some balance and point out the Clinton nominees? This is nothing but a hit job! Is this satire, or a actual news program?

[driubi]

theres a difference - its normal to start off with a clean slate and appoint as seen fit when a new president comes in office. This never happens during a presidency - whether its a one or two term presidency.

[arubberball]

Show me the rule on this! So we can surmise's that it was normal practices when Bill Clinton fired all the US Attorneys from the previous administration, is that safe to say!! Oh yeah, the president does have to give reason to terminate a US attorney! Never, say never! Great attempt at distorting the issue! You only show your biases viewpoint, and unwilling to see both sides of the issue!

[driubi]

when a new president comes in he is expected to fire all the attorneys. After he assigns his new attorneys, he is expected to keep them until he is no longer president. Show me another president who has fired attorneys mid term - and i'll shut up. I'm not biased - I don't think bill clinton was that great of a president. He did a lot of fucked up things, and caused a lot of death - but he doesn't even begin to compare to the incompetence of this president.

[arubberball]

Sorry, there no rule on the firing of US Attorney's!The only reason the Democrats are making a issue is they didn't have anything else at the time! Blind hatred for Bush is what motivates them, nothing more! As always a Republican Presidents are always cleaning up after Democrat Presidents! History supports this, time and time again! Cater,and Clinton have hurt this country more by accident, then Bush might have done on purposes!

[driubi]

the only think bush clean out was the surplus. Seriously, bush first has record deficits, clinton record surplus, then bush 2nd dropped the records surplus to beat daddy bush's record on deficit.

you, my friend, are drinking the koolaid.
