Puppies Make It All Seem Better

Generals failing! McCain said wha... Aww, look at the cute puppy. Isn't he just adorable...
To paraphrase the late, great Phil Hartman, "Puppies good! Fire bad!"
I'm so glad that our military is getting more brave about speaking out. The whole idea of redress is wonderful. While there is still the stigma attached to speaking out against problems in the military while in uniform, it seems that more and more military personnel are catching on to the fact that they CAN complain-and justifiably so. Sigh! I'm sure that although this gentleman is a LTCOL (o-5), I'm sure that won't matter to those that think he should just do his job and shut up. Bravo to him for speaking out!
Three dogs from the dog of reports. So what is new?
Look at his eyes! They're like buttons! Jimmy, take it away!
A bit off topic for this thread but I will try to bring it back home. After watching the 60 Minutes interview etc. this weekend with George Tenet, it made me slightly nauseous. It struck me that Tenet so clearly pulling a semi-Gonzales in an effort not to get scapegoated on the decision to go to invasion, er, war, must be a good sign for We The People. Here is a man in the center of things saying things like he does "not know what the Vice President was thinking" on several key intelligence issues, quibbling on the term torture versus "enhanced interrogation", that he did not do his job of reviewing the SOTU speech for intelligence laws but instead delegated it, and the excuse that when he said "slam dunk", he was referring to the ability to make a case for WMD's and not the argument and evidence the case was based upon . . . well soon it will just be Bush and Cheney pointing fingers at each other ("Dick told me to do it! I really love the Bill of Constitution!", "Don't look at me. The monkey is President and CIC, not me. I am just a demented old man who shoots his friends in the face and then makes THEM apologize."). My money is on Dick and his superior shotgun prowess. It also occurred to me upon seeing the general responses to Tenet across the Internets today that as each scandal of incompetence or corruption unfolds for this administration, the "cover up and spin" half-life has fallen from months and weeks to mere hours and days. I am betting George Tenet by next weekend will be wishing he had a puppy instead of that that Medal of Freedom. I am betting the puppy is glad to have an alternative home in a better ethical environment than a politician can provide. Why? Because dog's have better sense and general behavior than the Bush administration. And they have been known to eat poop. You decide if I mean the dogs or the politicians.
hi! that puppy is so cool!
Todd, I'll bet Tenet would call the puppy something like "Freedom," or better yet "Truth," but then the puppy'd never learn her name. Like the whole corrupt bunch, he'd gag on "Truth." To be sure the pup would lean her name, he'd have to call her "Miss Spoke" or "Miss Take."
Who needs 'news' (if you can call the drudge report that), when you can have the tiny puppy from Oprah! AWW..
