Lisa Casey with an undercover operation at the CIA.

“MY FRIENDS, THE ACLU WAS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO FILE SUIT TO DISCLOSE THIS ABOMINATION. THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON THE RULE OF LAW, AND THE CLINTONISTAS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO LIGHTLY TOSS THE CONSTITUTION INTO THE CRAPPER.”

And from rogue cops to the roguish CIA, at All Hat No Cattle.

“A SPOKESMAN FOR THE CIA ALSO CONCEDED THAT THEY WATERBOARDED THE ACTUAL RECORDS ON WATERBOARDING, BY DUMPING THEM INTO THE BAY OF PIGS.”

“NOW HERE’S A MAN WHO’S A SPY’S SPY –  SO INVISIBLE AND UNDER THE RADAR, THAT THE SENATE REFUSED TO EVEN ‘RECOGNIZE’ HIM WHEN HE SHOWED UP FOR WORK.”

“IT’S A SLAM DUNK THAT PANETTA WON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE WATERBOARDING, BUT IT’S HARD FOR A 70-YEAR OLD GUY TO STAND ON HIS FEET FOR 24 STRAIGHT HOURS.”

“TO BE HONEST, I FIGURED THAT IF I STARTED DRILLING IN 2006, THE RESULTS WOULDN’T BE KNOWN UNTIL 10 YEARS LATER, AFTER MY SECOND TERM AS PRESIDENT.”

Lisa Casey addresses the War Criminal Question.

“IN ONE SENSE, YOU’RE NEVER REALLY PREPARED TO HANDLE EXTRA-MARITAL AFFAIRS. EVEN AFTER MY WHOLE FIRST TERM AS PRESIDENT, I STILL SCREWED IT UP.”

Far be it from me to advise the legendary counterculture icon Neil Young on precisely how to do his Bush-bashing.¬† It looks like he actually did a pretty fair job in his current album.¬† But here’s one more song I would have liked to hear:

 

SIN-A-MAN MAN

 

I don’t wanna’ die from a Sin-a-Man Man

I could be locked up the rest of my life

By a Sin-a-Man Man

Dreams Armageddon, yet sleeps through the night

You’ll see him with Falwell, howling at moonlight

The Sin-A-Man Man

For rich folks cuts taxes, an ass with no “know”

The oilman relaxes and cuts off the flow

For his Sin-a-Man Man

A leaker of info, might always makes right

You see him with Cheney, they don’t see the light

The Sin-a-Man Man

Dems seek my money now

They’re gonna’ make it somehow

They’ll blow another chance

If we get more Howard Dean rants

Yeah … yeah … yeah
