Read My Lips: No New Amnesty
On the bright side, if President Bush's amnesty proposal for illegal immigrants ends up hurting Republicans and we lose Congress this November, maybe the Democrats will impeach him and we'll get Dick Cheney as President.
Bush has also apparently learned that the word "amnesty" does not poll well. On Monday night, he angrily denounced the idea of amnesty just before proposing his own amnesty program. The difference between Bush's amnesty program and "amnesty" is: He'd give amnesty only to people who have been breaking our laws for many years -- not just a few months. (It's the same program that allows Teddy Kennedy to stay in the Senate.)
Bush calls this the "rational middle ground" because it recognizes the difference between "an illegal immigrant who crossed the border recently and someone who has worked here for many years." Yes, the difference is: One of them has been breaking the law longer. If our criminal justice system used that logic, a single murder would get you the death penalty, while serial killers would get probation.
Bush claimed the only other alternative -- I assume this is the "irrational extreme" -- is "a program of mass deportation." Really? Is the only alternative to legalizing tax cheats "a program of mass arrest of tax cheats"?
Press "1" for English; press "2" for a new President ...
*Sound of Daniel pressing "2"*
And did anyone hear Tony Snow on Lars today? I almost got sent home from work because I was vomitting violently every time that moron opened his mouth. Tony owes me a new computer keyboard because I puked on mine.
Tony, you are a worthless Bush lackey, thank goodness you aren't on the radio any more spouting that nonsense.

I too heard Snow w/Lars.
Ya know it's really painful to see people you once respected, ie: Tony Snow, Charlezz Starr, Pres. Bush, etc., self destruct.
Principles man...it's all about maintaining your principles, otherwise you forfeit your integrity.
Did you happen to hear Saxton begin his Waffle?
Rino, I don't want any waffles. *cries* I want illegal aliens to voluntarily deport themselves because their lives are miserable here.
...tell me the waffle.
Saxton on Jeff Kropf's show in Jan. said he would use exec order to stop DMV from issuing ODL's to illegal's.
Today he said that he hadn't read the law/statutes so he wasn't able to give a legal opinion whether he could in fact use an exec order.
This was in response to a listeners question. WAFFLE #1
A Press Secretary's job is to explain and elucidate the President's postition to the press and public. Maybe the reason he has "flip-flopped" is because he is doing his job. If he did his talk radio radio schtick in front of the press corps, he'd get fired. He isn't a lackey - he's a mouthpiece - and that is his job. He probably believes he'll do more good in the press room anyway.
I listened to Snow on occasion, before he became W.H.P.S. and I swear, I could hear the sucking sound as his lips were peeled from Pres. Bush's butt!
But now, with his new position, what else can he do but back up his boss? Tha's what he's (now) being paid to do.
Ah, well...just my 2 cents worth.
