George Bush Sr. declared that he would love to see another Bush in the White House, this time another son, former Florida governor Jeb Bush. You've got to be kidding me.

Must have been quite the holiday party at the vice president's house this week: old chums Dick Cheney and Karl Rove tossing back a few eggnogs and talking about the possibility of a preemptive presidential pardon. Or evaluating the first steps of the Bush Legacy Project. No doubt there was a lot of backslapping when Fox's Chris Wallace stopped by. Earlier in the week, Wallace had vociferously defended Bush against criticisms leveled by Frost/Nixon filmmaker Ron Howard at a screening of the film. At the VP's party, a "genuinely grateful" Cheney thanked Wallace for standing up for the president and promised him "a special exit interview" in a couple of weeks. Should be very fair and balanced. In other holiday party news: the Treasury Department holiday bash will be held in the department's "Cash Room." Emptiest room in the place, I suppose.

No Attacks Since When?

The 'No-Attacks' mythology -- crediting Bush for keeping us safe since 9/11 -- is all part of a huge lie. And the lie is rapidly becoming reality thanks to various Bush apologists and dead-enders.
