A CATALOGUE OF BUSH ADMINISTRATION FAILURES AND
THE REPUBLICAN THREAT TO DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS
HERE AND ABROAD


If you can’t believe that Bush and company are trying to rewrite reality to fit their own brand of wackiness, read what a senior aide to president Bush was quoted as saying in the Oct. 17, 2004 NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE by Ron Suskind:

“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors... and you, all of you, will be left to study what we do.”

Isn’t that a chilling statement of irresponsibility and power which one might expect from a latter day Genghis Kahn? Whoever said that must be one of those University of Chicago students who studied under Professer [Whomacallit]? I can’t recall his name, but he urged conservative students to act above and beyond the law. They were elite and special people, he taught, who needed to somtimes act outside the law in order to achieve their special and necessary purposes. How I wish my short term memory was stronger.

Rachel Gillet makes a telling list of how the Bush administration has created its own reality, divorced from truth and common sense.
