Boy, this is a problem for the GOP - PNAC.
Most republicans don't believe in global warming (since it hurts next quarter profits, it must be false).

So today, Jeb Bush eluded that global warming is a problem for Florida.

Ummm...
George Bush is a psychopath, while Jeb Bush is catching schizophrenia (dual personalities - Yes, global warming or No, global warming).

Interesting family...

READ MORE: Hurricane, George W. Bush, Hurricane Katrina

Accompanying her husband, former President George H.W.Bush, on a tour of hurricane relief centers in Houston, Barbara Bush said today, referring to the poor who had lost everything back home and evacuated, "This is working very well for them."

The former First Lady's remarks were aired this evening on National Public Radio's "Marketplace" program.

She was part of a group in Houston today at the Astrodome that included her husband and former President Bill Clinton, who were chosen by her son, the current president, to head fundraising efforts for the recovery. Sen. Hilary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama were also present.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Princess', 'A')nd Barbara Bush is delusional...saying (at the Houston Astrodome staging center) that Hurricane Katrina victims were better off after the storm because now they were in Texas.

[Dreamtwister]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JoeCoal', 'T')hat's just a different way to say "Let them eat cake."

They're all schizophrenic. They talk to invisible beings, ask them for advice, and blame or thank them for the consequences that follow.

Okay, let's get this straight, at least: Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Multiple Personality Disorder (now known officially as Dissociative Identity Disorder).

This is a very common mistake. Virtually everybody thinks schizophrenia and MPD (DID) are the same thing. They are not.

http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/472/ ... izophrenia

"Symptoms of Schizophrenia:

There are an array of symptoms associated with schizophrenia. The first signs are usually disruption in one's social and family relationships - withdrawing into oneself and developing illogical thought processes. This is followed by slow deterioration in other areas, such as the ability to perform in school or at work, and finally, to care for oneself. Additionally, the person may experience delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized or altered speech."

Schizophrenia victims do not have these symptoms:

http://www.psychologytoday.com/conditions/did.html

"Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a severe condition in which two or more distinct identities, or personality states, are present in -- and alternately take control of -- an individual."

Who knows how schizophrenia and MPD got mixed up so long ago, and became known as the same thing, but they ain't! Schizoid people do NOT exhibit multiple personalities.

Thank you for your time. We now return you to the thread topic.

Ain't it great that in America you can say whatever the heck you want about public figures, especially politicians, and they don't come and throw you in jail on trumped up charges like they do in Russia or China?

[OilsNotWell]

Yes, for the moment we still maintain the illusion of having free speech. I say illusion because those for many who choose to exercise this in a way that displeases or agitates...anti-war for example, you will be spied on, tracked, and targeted in different ways...

So it's not as clear-cut as you state v. China, Russia, or other countries.

There, there is no guarantee or expectation of truly free speech (besides the obvious and appropriate limits on such). Here, we have a guarantee and expectation of free speech, assembly, petition for redress of grievances, etc., and to deny these rights on their face wouldn't fly, thus the opposition has to be hidden, covert. [This fact also, by the way, can be used as a way to bring out the hidden or covert resistance into the open, as say, Cindy Sheehan did by wearing an t-shirt stating the number of US servicepersons killed in Iraq and questioning how many more had to die to the Prez's SOTU speech as an official guest of a US rep, but was asked to cover it up or leave. She refused and they made her leave, proving the point of the suppression of 'unpopular' (but in reality, popular, as most Americans believe invading Iraq was a mistake) speech.]. Another example would be the set up of 'free speech' zones in NYC during the Repub. convention....Now, the very idea of 'free speech zones' (which in reality were large metal-fenced cages...no kidding, google for pics of them) should bring to lie your contention we truly have free speech. Another example would be the latest SCOTUS decision on govt whistleblowing, ensuring wrongdoers can do wrong in the darkness without exposure. Another example would be how only certain pro-Bush people can get into supposed 'public' events paid for the taxpayer. Another example would be how your phone records, internet records, fax records, e-mail records are recorded en masse for govt perusal.

Some free speech, huh?

But we've been through most of the before, just take a look at things like COINTELPRO from the 60's and 70's. So it's nothing new.

abelardlindsay,

Khodorkovsky was/is a traitor... The man forged his secretaries signature, took 28 billion $ out of Russia with fake accounting books using transfer pricing... This scum bag met with several US officials and collected more money to fund NGO activity...

Clintin get 100k from a Chinese business man and Americans freak out... Yukos was used to attempt to verthrough the Russian gov.

There is more freedom in russia today than in the US by far, unless you need to finance a coup. If Khodorkovsky was in America and financed NGO activity in the US, if he was in Texas, bet your azz he would get the electric chair.

Washington (CNN)Jeb Bush said he would have done the same as his brother in deciding to go to war in Iraq if he had been president at the time.

His comments, in an interview with Fox News set to air on Monday night, come in the wake of Bush's private statement that he relies on his brother, former President George W. Bush, as an adviser on some Middle East affairs.

Just another nail in his political coffin.

Keep it up, Jeb. You'll be forgotten soon enough. It won't be too much longer until the Cheney-era neocons are remembered in the same vane as the Pol Pots and Ghadaffis of the world. They all did much more harm than good to the world.

Plant, i'm well are of HRC's role in the entire misguided war. She's far from off the hook for her complicity. She was gullible, and believed the lies that were being fed to her. Same goes for nearly every other member of Congress at that time. I'm not a big HRC fan at all. She just doesn't have quite as large a black eye as those who fed her those lies, to begin with. Still, i did excpect more from her, at the time. I've learned my lesson.

Go Bernie!
