Bush Orders Ethics Training for White House Aides
Ahem.
Heh.
Hah.
HA HA HA HA HA HA *snort* HA HA HA HA!!!
Excuse me, I have to wipe away some tears here... seriously, you're kidding, right?
NPR.org, November 5, 2005 · President Bush has ordered all White House officials to take part in an ethics training program. The classes are to include instructions for handling classified information. Mr. Bush's directive comes after top White House aide I. Lewis Libby was indicted on charges of lying to a grand jury about a leak that revealed the name of a CIA operative.(Audio at link)
So let me get this straight: Bush's team is filthy with corruption, and his response is to send them back to High School to take Ethics 101. You know, because apparently the common-sense idea that you shouldn't screw over the American people with your every action somehow escapes them.
Dear Leader: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us: in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a criminal, and a liar, and a criminal, a liar, and a criminal. It just keeps going on like that. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Bush Club.
You know what I got for Christmas this year? It was a banner fuckin' year at the old Rove family! I got a carton of indictments. The old man grabbed me and said "Hey! Smoke up Turdblossom!"
