American government: FUBAR


"Washington - The White House said Wednesday that it may have lost what could amount to thousands of messages sent through a private e-mail system used by political guru Karl Rove and at least 50 other top officials, an admission that stirred anger and dismay among congressional investigators."
Attribute LA Times

Some of the comments overheard by leading congressional democrats regarding the vanished e-mails include:
  • "Wow, what a coincidence!"
  • "Oh well, shit happens!"
  • "Well, gosh darnit!"
NOTE: The Nixon white house erased 18 minutes of critical Watergate tape, Nixon eventually resigned. Bill Clinton lied about the definition of "is" and was impeached.

Thankfully we're enjoying an age of reason renaissance where calmer democratic (read "republican light") heads prevail. "Impeachment is off the table."

We need an acronym for something that is beyond FUBAR. Something that would encompass how they can keep making such stmnts & merely get a tsk-tsk head-shake from the "opposition" party. It feels like they're calling us out.

I guess we should've smelled something fishy as soon as we heard "Karl Rove private email", which unlike yours & my private email, can simply disappear. So AZ, does my "delete" key send the info directly to some govt snoop?

Dada, I just tuned the morning CNN-Intl news & got the "breaking story" about a suicide bomber making it past umpteen "heavily fortified greenzone" checkpts to blast himself & 8 others in the Iraqi Parliament bldg into the next dimension. I thought this was pretty big news, so I quickly checked to see other TV news coverage. My mistake. MSNBC is covering racist Imus, Fox is about who is Dannielyn's father, and CNN Headline is showing how to give a Heimlich. WTF? FUBAR, indeed. ~~ D.K.

It makes no fucking sense.

And I have this sinking feeling that if we elect a Democratic President next the Rethugs will do everything they can to impeach...because that's just how they roll...

I agree with polishifter. If the tables were turned, they'd have been in impeachment hearings long ago.

They are all the worst kind of criminals.

Thanks for the comments on my blog. I agree with every word!
