BUSH GAS GOUGE

PRESIDENTIAL FLYOVER: GEORGE BUSH IS ON THE JOB FOR HIS CONSTITUENTCY

The president discussed the ways his administration was moving to help ease the suffering of profit-soaked oil companies impacted by the storm, pointing out that he had instructed Energy Secretary Sam Bodman to work with refineries to "alleviate any shortage through loans" and that the EPA had waived clean air standards for gasoline and diesel fuels in all 50 states.

ROVE/BUSH FINALLY GIVES US THE TRUTH FOR THE IRAQ WAR: OIL

CORONADO, Calif. (AP)--President George W. Bush Tuesday answered growing anti- war protests with a fresh reason for American troops to continue fighting in Iraq: protecting that country's vast oil fields, which he said would otherwise fall under the control of terrorist extremists.

While in the past he has avoided making links between the war and Iraq's oil reserves, Bush used ceremonies marking the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II to say that the Iraqi oil industry - and the wealth it could create - must not fall under the control of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida forces in Iraq led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

JULY 3, 2003: "BRING 'EM ON" - GEORGE BUSH

"Anybody who wants to harm American troops will be found and brought to justice," Bush said. "There are some that feel like if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they are talking about if that is the case. Let me finish. There are some who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on."

U.S. forces, he added, are "plenty tough" to deal with any security threats.

"I have a message for the president," Gephardt said in a statement. "We should be focused on a long-term security plan that reduces the danger to our military personnel."

IT WAS'NT THE IRAQUIS AFTER ALL, IT WAS CARTER, REAGAN AND CLINTON (BUT NOT MY DAD)

...from his address today in San Diego.

They looked at our response after the hostage crisis in Iran, the bombings of the Marine barracks in Lebanon, the first World Trade Center attack, the killing of American soldiers in Somalia, the destruction of two U.S. embassies in Africa, and the attack on the USS Cole. They concluded that free societies lacked the courage and character to defend themselves against a determined enemy… After September the 11th, 2001, we’ve taught the terrorists a very different lesson: America will not run in defeat and we will not forget our responsibilities.

(Conveniently, Bush doesn’t mention any terrorist attack that occurred during his father’s administration.)

I HATE TO BRING IT UP, BUT IT HAS BEEN ALONG TIME SINCE WE CHECKED IN ON THE WAR. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT BUSH IS MAKING PROGRESS

"Mr. Bush, Specialist Young Would Also Like to Speak With You...

U.S. Army Specialist Tomas Young has some questions for George W. Bush. He's never met with the Commander-in-Chief who sent him into Sadr City, Iraq in a canvass covered truck during a massive uprising in that city on April 4, 2004. The same city on the same day that Cindy Sheehan's son Casey was killed.

Tomas was lucky. He was only paralyzed from the chest down. Amongst other things he'd like to ask of Bush, is why he won't allow funding for stem cell research which might eventually restore the spine that he lost in Bush's War. A spine, as Tomas explained to us yesterday on The BRAD SHOW, which apparently Bush has never had.

GAS WARS

Crude oil prices topped $70 (euros 57.282) per barrel and further increases at the pump were anticipated, due in part to the temporary loss of oil production and refining capacity in Gulf Coast states and offshore due to devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina.

THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF MAKES HEROIC SACRIFICE AND CUTS VACATION SHORT BY TWO DAYS

...the president decided that he needed to be in Washington to personally oversee the federal hurricane relief effort, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

Adding further, this should knock Cindy off the first page. How can the President grieve for her son when he are grieving for hurricane victims. We think it is time for Cindy to think of someone else and something else for a change.

DINASAURS FOUND ON NOAH'S ARK

...Dinny's new owners, pointing to the Book of Genesis, contend that most dinosaurs arrived on Earth the same day as Adam and Eve, some 6,000 years ago, and later marched two by two onto Noah's Ark. The gift shop at the attraction, called the Cabazon Dinosaurs, sells toy dinosaurs whose labels warn, "Don't swallow it! The fossil record does not support evolution."

"We're putting evolutionists on notice: We're taking the dinosaurs back," said Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, a Christian group building a $25-million creationist museum in Petersburg, Ky., that's already overrun with model sauropods and velociraptors.
