Andrew, Mark said “Republican military-industrial complex” – aka Haliburton, Carlyle group no bid outsourced wars. Have a look at the overlap between the Bush cabinet and his family and those companies and know exactly what crony capitalism is.

Mark,

You’re conflating Dick Cheney with Republicans in general. Half of America is Republican (well – just a little less than half!). I think you’re getting carried away calling half of America routinely Criminal.

No, I don’t think so, Andrew. “Routine criminality” captures the Bushies’ approach to government quite well imho.

Mark – “Nevertheless, it may well be that much of the routine criminality that appears to be part of the modus operandi of the Republican military-industrial complex will be exposed and on the public record.”

Not getting carried away hey Mark? Oh dear….

I can just imagine the consternation this is causing in the white house:

Dubya: Indicted? Does that mean I gotta call him Sir Dick?
Aide: Um, Mr President…
Dubya: You go out and git me one of them indicteds! I WILL be Sir Dubya of Crawford!
Aide: (Sigh)

That’s it! All we righties need to do is get some small-town nutbag DA to prosecute Obie over some whacky conspiracy theory before Jan 20.

Mission accomplished!

Arjay @26, While I don’t have huge problems believing that G H W Bush was involved in the Bay of Pigs skulduggery, I do have trouble accepting J Edgar Hoover as a reliable source.
However, given that Bush became director of the CIA in 1976, he may either have been cultivating contacts or actually have already been involved as Hoover said. The Zapata/Barbara thing sounds incestuous and too coincidental, too; right up their alley IMO.
