THIS JUST IN!
GEORGE CASEY IS KNOWN FOR MANY THINGS: POINTING AT REPORTERS AS THOUGH HE WERE SHOOTING A GUN, PURSING HIS LIPS LIKE ONE OF THOSE UGLY "REAL" MODELS IN A CK1 ADVERTISEMENT, AND BEING A FOUR STAR GENERAL.
HE'S JUST ADDED A NEW SKILL TO HIS RESUME! FORETELLER OF THE FUTURE!
PSYCHIC GEORGE, THE BIG ENCHILADA IN IRAQ, PREDICTS TODAY THAT THE U.S. MILITARY PRESENCE IN IRAQ WILL SHRINK.
WITH SECRETARY OF DEFENSE AND PROFESSIONAL LIAR DONALD RUMSFELD AT HIS SIDE, PSYCHIC GEORGE DECLARED, "I'M CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO TAKE REDUCTIONS OVER THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR."
BEFORE YOU RAISE YOUR HAND TO SHOW YOU TOO ARE SURE, REMEMBER HE WAS STANDING BESIDE THE PROFESSIONAL LIAR.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, "THE FORCES ARE STRETCHED. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY QUESTION ABOUT THAT."
HAVE MORE FORCES BEEN PUT ON THE GROUND? HAVE RECRUITMENT LEVELS SOARED? DID THE CHAOS AND VIOLENCE STOP IN IRAQ?
NO. NO. AND, NO.
BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT THE TROOPS HOME, THERE'S AN ELECTION IN NOVEMBER AND PROFESSIONAL LIAR DONALD RUMSFELD TROTTED CASEY OUT TO DO A 'TRICK' FOR THE PRESS. TOMORROW, RUMORS SAY, RUMSFELD WILL THROW A STICK ON THE WHITE HOUSE LAWN AND GENERAL CASEY WILL RETRIEVE IT.

IN THE CHURCH OF THE BULLY BOY ...
HE WILL BE TREATED WITH THE REVERENCE BEFITTING A GOD.
NO ONE WILL CALL HIM "MR. BULLY BOY" AND NO ONE WILL SMACK GUM.
ONLY ONE SASS MOUTH IS ALLOWED IN THE CHURCH OF THE BULLY BOY AND THAT SASS MOUTH BELONGS TO THE ALMIGHTY BULLY BOY -- AND TO HIM ONLY.
TODAY, BULLY BOY HANDED DOWN ANOTHER COMMANDMENT:
THOU SHALT NOT WEAR SUNGLASSES IN MY PRESENCE.
BULLY BOY MOCKED AND RIDICULED A REPORTER WHO WORE SUNGLASSES. LIKE A SPOILED BABY OR A PETTY TYRANT, BULLY BOY WAS AT HIS MOST PRISSY AND MOST RIDICULOUS AS HE FORGOT, YET AGAIN, THAT HE IS NOT A KING, HE IS NOT A GOD AND HE IS NOT SMART ENOUGH FOR ANYONE TO ASK DIRECTIONS FROM LET ALONE BE IMPRESSED BY.
HE IS A SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE.
BUT TODAY HE BEHAVED LIKE HIS OWN MOTHER, SNARLING BEHIND A JOKE: PETTY AND CATTY.
IN THE CHURCH OF THE BULLY BOY, THE NUMBER ONE COMMANDMENT, ABOVE ALL OTHERS IS THAT THE BULLY BOY MUST BE WORSHIPPED. NUMBER TWO IS THAT HE MUST BE HUMORED.

BULLY BOY PRESS - DC
THIS JUST IN!
A BULLY BABY IS BORN!
TO THE TAX PAYERS OF AMERICA, ON THIS FINE DAY, COMES THE NEWS OF A BULLY BOY BEING BORN. "HARK!" THE TERRIBLE BULLIES SING, "JOY TO THE SCREW THE TAX PAYER THING."
IN THE FALL OF 2005, THE U.S. CONGRESS DECIDED THAT THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL'S JET SHOULD BE SHARED WITH HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SECRETARY MICHAEL LEAVITT "IN TIMES OF EMERGENCIES AND IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING SUCH EMERGENCIES."
LEAVITT HAS TAKEN THAT TO MEAN HE CAN MAKE 19 TRIPS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NON-EMERGENCY TASK OF PRESS CONFERENCES FOR NON-EMERGENCY ISSUES. HE HAS USED THE JET ON 19 TRIPS AT A COST TO TAX PAYERS OF AT LEAST $720,000.
TWICE, WHEN THERE WERE ACTUAL EMERGENCIES FOR THE CDC "THE CDC WAS FORCED TO USE ANOTHER PLANE BEACUASE LEAVITT WAS USING THE GULFSTREAM."
AS THE 1ST SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICESTO HAVE ACCESS THE PLANE FOR EMERGENCIES ALONE, MIKE LEAVITT HAS DEMONSTRATED, IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS, THAT HE CAN FIND A NUMBER OF USES FOR IT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT IT'S NON-EMERGENCY TASKS -- AFTER ALL, THE TAX PAYERS ARE FOOTING THIS BILL.
VICE-PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY WAS HEARD TO COO, "I WANT TO HOLD THE IDDY BIDDY BULLY BAY JUST AS SOON AS BULLY BOY'S DONE NURSING HIM, YES, I DO. YES, I DO. WHO'S THE BULLY BABY? WHO'S THE LITTLE BULLY BABY? MAKE A POOPIE DIAPER! MAKE A POOPIE DIAPER! I LIKE TO SLING THEM AT DONNIE [RUMSFELD] SO MAKE A POOPIE DIAPER!"

THIS JUST IN! FATTY DEPOSITS ON THE BOOTIE MAKE BULLY BOY BLUSH!
BULLY BOY PRESS - DC.
THIS JUST IN!
FATTY DEPOSITS ON THE BOOTIE MAKE BULLY BOY BLUSH!
JUST YESTERDAY, BULLY BOY WAS GIDDY AT THE IDEA OF MEETING WITH IRAN. THEN THIS MORNING, EVERY THING CHANGED.
BULLY BOY WAS HEARD SNARLING, "WE'LL SEE WHETHER OR NOT THAT IS THE FIRM POSITION OF THEIR GOVERNMENT. IF THEY CONTINUE THEIR ABSTINENCE, IF THEY CONTINUE TO SAY TO THE WORLD 'WE REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR OPINION IS,' THEN THE WORLD IS GOING TO ACT IN CONCERT."
NOT EXACLY "I'D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING . . . IN PERFECT HARMONY."
WHAT HAD BULLY BOY SPITTING MAD? SO ANGRY HE USED "ABSTINENCE" IN PLACE OF "OBSTINANCE"?
A FORMER WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL, NOT SCOTTY MCCLELLAN, REVEALED THAT THE MORNING PRIOR TO THE SPEECH HAD BEEN SPENT IN FRONT OF A THREE-WAY-MIRROR WITH VARIOUS BATHING SUITS. BULLY BOY WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN THE MICRO-BIKINI, THE STRING BIKININ AND THE BRAZILIAN BIKINI.
AFTER BEGGING AND PLEADING WITH SECRETARY OF STATE CONDI RICE FOR 30 MINUTES, SHE FINALLY SAID HE COULD TRY THEM ON.
GETTING INTO THE MOOD, ALBERTO GONZALES, WORLD CHAMPION IN THE BILLIE JEAN KING LOOK ALIKE CONTEST AND ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, SAID, "HEY, I'LL TRY ON THE THE ONE WITH THE TRIANGLE TOP AND THE STRING SIDE BOTTOM. I'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIDE, UNLIKE THE PRESS THAT I WILL CRUSH UNTIL THEY SPIT OUT EACH AND EVERY SOURCE THEY'VE EVER HAD AND BEG ME FOR MERCY BECAUSE I AM THE LORD AND THE AVENGER AND I WILL --"
NOTICING EVERYONE STARING AT HIM, ALBERTO SHRUGGED AND BEGAN SQUEEZING INTO HIS BIKINI.
TWIRLING AROUND, HE SEEMED QUITE PLEASED THOUGH HE DID WONDER IF IT CAME IN YELLOW?
BULLY BOY, ON THE OTHER HAND BURST INTO TEARS.
POINTING TO THE FATTY DEPOSITS ON BOTH OF HIS OWN CHEEKS (REAR CHEEKS), BULLY BOY SLAPPED THEM AND THEY DISAPPEARED INTO A FRENZY OF WAVES AND RIPPLES.
CONDI ATTEMPTED TO REASSURE HIM THAT THIS WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL BUT BULLY BOY POINTED OUT THAT ALBERTO DIDN'T HAVE THEM "AND HE'S A BIG BONED GUY."
CONDI'S ATTEMPTS TO CALM HIM DOWN WERE OF LITTLE HELP AS BULLY BOY WORKED HIMSELF INTO A TIZZY INSISTING HE WAS SO FAT THAT NO 1 WOULD EVER WANT HIM AND THERE WAS NO WAY HE WAS GOING TO THE BEACH THIS SUMMER, "NOT WITH ALL THAT JUNK IN MY TRUNK!"
"THAT'S WHY," THE SOURCE EXPLAINED, "HE USED 'FIRM' AND 'ABSTINENCE.' 'FIRM' BECAUSE HE CAN'T FORGET THE SIGHT OF ALBERTO IN THE BIKINI AND
'ABSTINENCE' BECAUSE HE'S GIVING UP SWEETS UNTIL HE CAN MAKE A DENT IN THOSE FATTY ROLLS. THERE'S EVEN TALK OF REPLACING DONALD RUMSFELD AS SECRETARY OF DEFENSE WITH JERROD FROM SUBWAY."

THIS JUST IN!
BULLY BOY ALMOST READY FOR BIKINI SEASON!
HAVING LOST SIX OF THE SELF-DEFINED TEN POUNDS NEEDED, BULLY BOY IS SO PLEASED WITH HIS 'TRIM' FIGURE THAT CONDI RICE IS ANNOUNCING THAT IRAN AND BULLY BOY MAY BE GETTING CLOSE TO A FACE TO FACE.
AS READERS OF THE BULLY BOY PRESS REMEMBER, BULLY BOY HAS HAD TO STALL OFF REQUESTS FOR CONTACT FROM IRAN AS HE ATTEMPTED TO LOSE TEN POUNDS, WHAT HE HAS CALLED HIS "FROSHMAN TEN" REFERRING TO THE TEN POUNDS WIDELY RUMORED TO BE GAINED IN THE FIRST YEAR.
THOUGH CURRENTLY IN THE SIXTH YEAR OF HIS OCCUPATION OF THE OVAL OFFICE, BULLY BOY SEES HIMSELF AS BEING ON A LEARNING CURVE WHICH IS ABOUT AS LIKELY AS THE LONG RUMORED 'TURNED CORNER' IN IRAQ.
CONDITIONS FOR THE FACE TO FACE ARE BEING SET AND ARE RUMORED TO INCLUDE THAT IF THE BULLY BOY DOES NOT LOSE THE LAST FOUR POUNDS, NO ONE CAN COMMENT ON THAT OR MAKE JOKES OF "FATTY-FATTY, WHO'S YOUR DADDY?"
(THE ANSWER TO THAT WHIMSICAL TAUNT IS , OF COURSE, IS CONDI RICE.)
A FORMER WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL, NOT SCOTTY MCCLELLAN, HONEST, SAYS THAT BULLY BOY HAS HIS EYES ON A POLKADOT TWO-PIECE BUT SECRETARY OF STATE RICE IS ADVISING THAT A VERTICAL STRIPE PATTERN WOULD BE MORE "SLIMMING."
"HE POUTS WHEN SHE BRINGS THAT UP," SAID UNIDENTIFIED SOURCE. "HE REALLY HAS HIS HEART SET ON DOTS. HE SAYS THEY REMIND HIM OF THE MAP OF ALL THE U.S. BASES HE'D LIKE TO SET UP AROUND THE GLOBE."

The news
Good morning, it's Memorial Day, Monday, May 29, 2006. Here are a collection of news stories put together by The Third Estate Sunday Review's Dona, Jess, Ty, Ava and Jim;
Rebecca of Sex and Politics and Screeds and Attitude;
Betty of Thomas Friedman Is a Great Man;

Starting with the Iraq snapshot.
In Baghdad Sunday, Sheik Osama al-Jadaan and at least one of his bodyguards is dead as a result of an ambush. al-Jadaan had been seen by some as an ally with the US administration. al-Jadaan and the bodyguard were among the at least nine Iraqis who were killed on Sunday, roadside bombs continued to be a party of Iraqi daily life and another daily feature continued as at least ten more corpses were found in Baghdad. There have been sixty American military deaths for the month of May bringing the fatality count to 2464 since the illegal invasion in March of 2003. In addition to American military helicopter pilots are missing, the AFP reports, after the helicopter crashed on Saturday. In Baquba, a new feature to the occupation emerged as three severed heads were flung out of a moving vehicle. Near Baquba, Monday has already seen eleven die from a bombing, Reuters reports. This as the United States Pentagon believes their investigation into the apparent slaughter of civilians in Haditha is winding down -- the estimated 24 civilians died in November. United States House Representative John Mutha maintains that what happened in November is as important as apparent attempts to cover up the events and to stall an investigation into them.

United States House Representative John Mutha maintains that what happened in November is as important as apparent attempts to cover up the events and to stall an investigation into them.
United States Senator John Warner has stated that the Senate Arms Committee, which he chairs, will hold a full investigation into "what happened . . . when it happened . . . what was the immediate reaction of the senior officers."

Meanwhile Nouri al-Maliki, Iraqi prime minister, has failed to meet another one of his predicitions. He set a date for himself to establish his cabinet and he didn't meet it. He just managed to meet the constitutional deadline (May 22) for the cabinet but did so only by
leaving posts vacant. Last week, he announced that he would be fill the vacant posts this weekend. Unless Iraq's having a three day weekend, he's again failed another of his own predicitions -- there remains no heads for the interior, defense and homeland security ministries.
This as Andy McSmith reports (Independent of London) that British troops in Iraq are now being attacked attacked sixty times a month since the start of the year, an increase of 26% since last year. This as the BBC reports that at least 1,000 British troops have deserted since the start of the illegal war.
In Indonesia, an earthquake on Saturday has now claimed the lives of at least 5115.

In Indonesia, an earthquake on Saturday has now claimed the lives of at least 5115.
Heavy rains are preventing some attempts at rescue. This as the Phillipines have been hit with an earthquake that measured 5.3 on the Richter scale -- no injuries or deaths are reported.
The Indonesian earthquake was measured 6.2 on the Richter scale and the United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) immediately went on alert with news of the quake. Aid agencies, including the Indoensian Red Cross, began providing assistance on Saturday including foods; however, as noted earlier, heavy rains are preventing some attempts at rescue and relief. IPS reports that this is Indonesia's worst disaster since the tsunami in December 2004 and that doctors and medical supplies are in short supply.
"The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is launching an emergency appeal for 12 million Swiss francs ($9.79 million USD/ €7.68 million) to support the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) in providing assistance to the survivors of the earthquake." As noted on KPFA's Evening News Sunday, people are sleeping in the streets as they await emergency assistance and the United States government has pledged 2.5 million dollars while the Euopean Union has pledged 3.8 million dollars.
In the United States, fire fighters have discovered the body of another victim of last fall's Hurricane Katrina "in the rear laundry room" of a New Orleans house they were searching.

The current official count of those killed by Hurricane Katrina is 1577.
In Afghanistan, a demonstration was held following a traffic incident. The BBC reports that four died when a US convoy entered rush hour traffic. The AP reports that three humvees were involved on the US side and quotes eye witness Mohammad Wali, "The American convoy hit all the vehicles which were in their way. They didn't care about the civilians at all." At least four demonstrators have died, shot by "U.S. and Afghan security forces."

They didn't care about the civilians at all." At least four demonstrators have died, shot by "U.S. and Afghan security forces."
Meanwhile, as the situation on the ground in East Timor grows more dangerous and deadly,
the United Nations is relocating UN family members and non-essential staff to Darwin Australia. Last week, East Timor handed over security duties to Australian forces following shootings, houses being set on fire and other violence. East Timor's president and prime minister are holding talks to discuss resolutions to the current situation while crowds have gathered outside the presidential palace calling for the resignation of the prime minister. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Screscent Socities trace the current wave of violence to
March of this year and are attempting to assist over 25,000 displaced persons. The IFRCRSS's estimates that 50,000 have left their homes due to the current violence. As the violence continues Australia's Federal Justice Minister Chris Ellison has been quoted as saying,
"The United Nations, though, was the lead agency in all of this and the United Nations was, it had planned to pull out in a month's time. So I think really it's a question of the United Nations in this issue of whether people pulled out or not. It was the lead agency, not Australia." Peter Lewis reports that the New Zealand embassy in East Timor had to temporarily relocate the the Australian embassay due to threats from "armed thugs."
Yesterday, though the San Francisco Giants lost to the Colorado Rockies, Barry Bonds broke Babe Ruth's record for home runs. Bonds' 715 home runs now leaves him ahead of Ruth but behind Hank Aaron (755).
Though it seems long ago that Harriet Miers was in the running for the United States Supreme Court, those who remember the media coverage will remember Texas Supreme Court Justice Nathan Hecht. The media friendly Hecht has received an admonishment from the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct for "improperly using his position" to promote Miers in an estimated "120 newspaper, TV and radio interviews" after he offered his services to the White House as some sort of go-to-guy for the media. Hecht is appealing the admonishment. In other United States governmental news, Feminist Wire Daily reports Brett Kavanaugh confirmation to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia "by a 57-36 vote." The Washington Post once described Kavanaugh as "a protege" of Kenneth Starr. In The Clinton Wars, Sidney Blumenthal recounts David Brock's statement that while watching the 1998 State of the Union address, Kavanaugh hissed "b*tch" at the TV when Hillary Clinton was shown onscreen. The co-author of the Starr Report now holds a lifetime seat on the court.
In news on the NSA warrantless, illegal spying on American citizens, Bully Boy is attempting to invoke the "state secrets privilege" to stop legal actions. The Center for Constitutional Rights Shayna Kadidal notes, "The Bush Administration is trying to crush a very strong case against domestic spying without any evidence or argument. This is a mysterious and undemocratic request, since the administration says the reason the court is being asked to drop the case is a secret. I think it's a clear choice: can the President tell the courts which cases they can rule on? If so, the courts will never be able to hold the President accountable for breaking the law. If the Executive Branch can secretly squash legal challenges to its conduct like this, then American democracy as we know it is in danger." The administration filed papers Friday arguing that "New York and Michigan to dismiss a pair of lawsuits filed over the National Security Agency's domestic eavesdropping program, saying litigating them would jeopardize state secrets." Also attempting to quash legal actions that might lead to further embarrasment is AT&T "which filed a 25-page legal brief" arguing that the Electronic Frontier Foundation's class action suit should be dismissed. The AT&T brief had contained redactions but a few simple computer steps allowed the redactions to be made visible. The brief does not confirm the existance of the secret room (reported on in Wired's "Whistle-Blower's Evidence, Uncut" and "AT&T's Implementation of NSA Spying on American Citizens, 31 December 2005") but argues that "'the same physical equipment could be utilized exclusively for other surveillance in full compliance with' the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."
In other news, Amnesty is launching Irrepressible.info to highlight "governments using the net to suppress dissent."
In Cannes, director Ken Loach has won the prestigious Palme d'Or for his film on Ireland's fight for independence from England -- The Wind That Shakes the Barley. Reuters reports "The 69-year-old film maker told Reuters in an interview earlier in the festival that the Irish fight for independence against an empire imposing its will on a foreign people had resonances with the US occupation of Iraq today."
Amy Goodman noted the scheduled topic for today's Democracy Now! (noted on Thursday's Democracy Now!):
On Monday, we bring you an exclusive interview with British Lieutenant Commander Steve Tatham, former head of the British Royal Navy's Media Operations in the Northern Arabian Gulf during the Iraq invasion. He’s author of Losing Arab Hearts and Minds.
In addition to being able to watch it on TV or listen to it on the radio, remember that you can listen, watch or read (transcripts) online at Democracy Now!

The media friendly Hecht has received an admonishment from the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct for "improperly using his position" to promote Miers in an estimated "120 newspaper, TV and radio interviews" after he offered his services to the White House as some sort of go-to-guy for the media. Hecht is appealing the admonishment. In other United States governmental news, Feminist Wire Daily reports Brett Kavanaugh confirmation to the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia "by a 57-36 vote." The Washington Post once described Kavanaugh as "a protege" of Kenneth Starr. In The Clinton Wars, Sidney Blumenthal recounts David Brock's statement that while watching the 1998 State of the Union address, Kavanaugh hissed "b*tch" at the TV when Hillary Clinton was shown onscreen. The co-author of the Starr Report now holds a lifetime seat on the court.
In news on the NSA warrantless, illegal spying on American citizens, Bully Boy is attempting to invoke the "state secrets privilege" to stop legal actions. The Center for Constitutional Rights Shayna Kadidal notes, "The Bush Administration is trying to crush a very strong case against domestic spying without any evidence or argument. This is a mysterious and undemocratic request, since the administration says the reason the court is being asked to drop the case is a secret. I think it's a clear choice: can the President tell the courts which cases they can rule on? If so, the courts will never be able to hold the President accountable for breaking the law. If the Executive Branch can secretly squash legal challenges to its conduct like this, then American democracy as we know it is in danger." The administration filed papers Friday arguing that "New York and Michigan to dismiss a pair of lawsuits filed over the National Security Agency's domestic eavesdropping program, saying litigating them would jeopardize state secrets." Also attempting to quash legal actions that might lead to further embarrasment is AT&T "which filed a 25-page legal brief" arguing that the Electronic Frontier Foundation's class action suit should be dismissed. The AT&T brief had contained redactions but a few simple computer steps allowed the redactions to be made visible. The brief does not confirm the existance of the secret room (reported on in Wired's "Whistle-Blower's Evidence, Uncut" and "AT&T's Implementation of NSA Spying on American Citizens, 31 December 2005") but argues that "'the same physical equipment could be utilized exclusively for other surveillance in full compliance with' the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act."
In other news, Amnesty is launching Irrepressible.info to highlight "governments using the net to suppress dissent."
In Cannes, director Ken Loach has won the prestigious Palme d'Or for his film on Ireland's fight for independence from England -- The Wind That Shakes the Barley. Reuters reports "The 69-year-old film maker told Reuters in an interview earlier in the festival that the Irish fight for independence against an empire imposing its will on a foreign people had resonances with the US occupation of Iraq today."

BULLY BOY PRESS AND CEDRIC'S BIG MIX - DC.
THIS JUST IN!
BULLY BOY GOES 'WOOPS!'
SPEAKING IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL WITH LAP DOG AND HAND MAIDEN TONY BLAIR BESIDE HIM, BULLY BOY SAID WOOPS.
MAYBE SOME OF HIS 'TALK TOUGH' WASN'T SUCH A GOOD IDEA?
FOR INSTANCE, HE OFFERED, "I LEARNED SOME LESSONS ABOUT EXPRESSING MYSELF MAYBE IN A LITTLE MORE SOPHISTICATED MANNER, YOU KNOW. 'WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE', THAT KIND OF TALK. I THINK IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD IT WAS MISINTERPRED."
MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS AND CEDRIC'S BIG MIX:
BULLY BOY SLIPS TO 1% IN APPROVAL RATINGS!
THROUGH SCIENTIFIC POLLING (POLLING METHODS TAUGHT BY THE NEW YORK TIMES), BULLY BOY PRESS AND CEDRIC'S BIG MIX HAVE DISCOVERED THAT AMONG THOSE "CERTAIN PARTS OF THE WORLD" WHERE BULLY BOY WAS "MISINTERPRED" WAS THE UNITED STATES.
WHEN ASKED IF THEY BELIEVED THAT THE BULLY BOY'S STATEMENT OF OSAMA BIN LADEN MEANT BIN LADEN WAS "WANTED, DEAD OR ALIVE,"
100 OF THE 100 POLLED RESPONDED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.
ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY RESPECT FOR BULLY BOY, 99 OF THE 100 POLLED RESPONDED IN THE NEGATIVE. 1 RESPONDENT EXPRESSED APPROVAL FOR THE BULLY BOY. THE RESPONDENT ALSO EXPRESSED BELIEF IN SANTA CLAUSE, THE TOOTH FAIRY, THE EASTER BUNNY, WMD AND "REBA MCENTIRE'S GOOD NATURE."
IN A FOLLOW UP TO YESTERDAY'S "THIS JUST IN! BULLY BOY AND BLAIR HAVE BEEN WHERE? " STRINGERS WERE SENT TO TIMES SQUARE TO CHECK THE VALIDITY OF WHITE HOUSE MOUTH PIECE TONY SNOW'S CLAIM THAT
"YOU KNOW, THERE AREN'T GOING TO BE PEOPLE KISSING IN TIME SQUARE TOMORROW."
STRINGERS RACHEL, MICAH, JONAH, DONA, JIM AND TY REPORTED THE SIGHTING OF AT LEAST 43 KISSES BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 11:00 AM AND 2:00 PM. AT LEAST ONE KISS INVOLVED TONGUE AND FOUR WERE SAME-SEX KISSES. NOT INCLUDED IN THE COUNT WAS A WOMAN WHO SPAT ON A TISSUE AND THEN USED THE TISSUE TO WIPE THE CHEEK OF A CHILD. FURTHER MORE, TWO STRINGERS, DONA AND JIM, WERE INSPIRED BY THE ACTIVITY TO ENGAGE IN "A LITTLE KISSING AND GROPING OF OUR OWN."
TO RECAP, TONY SNOW HAS BEEN PROVEN WRONG.

BULLY BOY PRESS - DC.
THIS JUST IN!
CONDI RICE FINALLY GETS IT!
CONDI RICE RETURNED TO DC IN TEARS FOLLOWING THE RECEPTION SHE RECEIVED MONDAY AT BOSTON COLLEGE.
SEEKING A SYMPATHETIC SHOULDER, SHE HURRIED THROUGH THE WHITE HOUSE. THERE WAS HARRIE MIERS.
BUT HARRIE WAS SO BITTER AFTER SCALITO BUZZED PAST HER AND ON TO THE COURT.
THERE WAS KAREN HUGHES BUT SHE COULDN'T SHUT UP ABOUT HER NEW LINE OF CLOTHES FOR GYM COACHES.
CONDI REALIZED SHE WAS ALONE -- A VICTIM OF THE WORK-WIVES WARS.
SHE WAS ABOUT TO GIVE UP ALL HOPE WHEN SHE SAW FORMER WHITE HOUSE LAP DOG SCOTTY CROUCHING BEHIND A LARGE POTTED FERN.
"MCCLELLAN!" CONDI HOLLERED.
"SHH!" SCOTTY CAUTIONED. "DON'T GIVE ME AWAY!"
PAST TIME TO GO, STILL DESPERATE TO HOLD ON, SCOTTY WAS THE FIRST WORK-WIFE WHO WOULD NOT GO GRACEFULLY.INTO THE NIGHT.
WAS THAT HER FATE? WHAT COULD BE WORSE THAT THAT?
SHE HAD HER ANSWER. IT WAS APPROACHING. SIPPING FROM A CAN OF LONE STAR. SMILING.
SHREIKING, CONDI RAN DOWN THE HALL STRAIGHT INTO THE ARMS OF DONALD RUMSFELD.
BREAKING DOWN SHE SPILLED EVERY DETAIL OF BOSTON TO HIM.
"WHY DO THEY HATE ME?" SHE ASKED CRYING. "WHY DO THEY HATE ME! ME!"
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF, MAN," SECRETARY RUMSFELD SAID SHAKING CONDI BY THE SHOULDERS. "THEY HATE YOU FOR YOUR FREEDOMS!"
"THAT'S IT!" CONDI SAID SLAPPING HER FOREHEAD. "THAT'S IT! THEY HATE ME FOR MY FREEDOMS. TERRORISTS!"
NODDING RUMSFELD AGREED, "YOU KNOW, IT IS THE HOME OF JOHN KERRY. WHAT SAY WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS BOSTON 'SITUATION'?"

DESPERATE CONGRESS MEMBERS!
WHILE MICHAEL HAYDEN'S GIRLISH, JOHN MCCAIN VOICE HELD THE ATTENTION OF THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, THINGS WERE HEATING UP ON THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
ARLEN SPECTER, STILL LOOKING FOR THE MAGIC BULLET AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, DECIDED TO HOLD A VOTE ON A PROPOSAL HE DOESN'T SUPPORT: A BAN ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.
WHEN THE RIGHT, RIGHTEOUS RUSS CALLED HIM ON IT, SENATOR SPECTER PLAYED THE LOVER SPURNED.
"IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE, GOOD RIDDANCE!" SCREAMED ARLEN AS HE LOOKED FOR A KNICK KNACK TO THROW.
FINDING NONE, HE LEPT TO HIS FEET AND, IN HIS BEST NICOLETTE SHERIDAN, THREW HIS HEAD BACK, PUT HANDS ON HIPS AND SCREAMED, "YOU AIN'T ALL THAT, RUSS FEINGOLD! YOU AIN'T ALL THAT!"
IGNORING ARLAN'S ATTEMPT AT DESPERATE CONGRESS MEMBERS, RUSS FEINGOLD BLEW HIM OFF WITH A "SEE 'YA."
"HOW DARE HE!" SCREAMED AN ENRAGED ARLEN GRABBING FOR A PITCHER OF WATER AND THROWING IT TO THE FLOOR WHILE JOE BIDEN RUSHED OVER IMMEDIATELY, READY TO DELIVER A SERIES OF LENGTHY, PREPARED REMARKS. LINDSEY GRAHAM TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO SMOOTH HIS CRINOLINE PETTICOAT AND FINISH HIS MINT JULIP BEFORE STRUTTING OVER.
ARLEN WAS CRYING ON JOE'S SHOULDER. JOE HAD BEEN TALKING NONSTOP FOR 5 MINUTES. LINDSEY KNEW THE MILK TRAIN DIDN'T STOP HERE NO MORE.
"LET IT GO, ARLY," LINDSEY ADVISED.
"LET IT GO! HE HUMILIATED ME!" SCREAMED ARLEN. "HE WALKED ALL OVER ME! HE TREATED ME LIKE A TISSUE! USING ME AND THEN DISCARDING ME! WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS? JAMIE DENTON? DID YOU SEE HIM STOMPING OUT OF HERE? STOMPING ACROSS THE FLOOR LIKE HE STOMPED ACROSS MY HEART? STOMPING ACROSS THE FLOOR LIKE HE THOUGHT HE WAS DOING IT A FAVOR?"
WIPING THE TEARS FROM HIS EYES, ARLEN TOOK A DEEP BREATH, THEN LOOKED AROUND THE ROOM.
"IS ANYONE ELSE TURNED ON?" ARLEN ASKED.
