A 2004 report from the U.S. commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks found 11 Saudi hijackers had traveled to the United States via the airport in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and about half the $250,000 spent on the attacks was wired to al-Qaida terrorists in the United States from Dubai banks, authorities said.

And what about the fact that the UAE is a proud supporter of HAMAS which is considered a terrorist organization by the United States.  Runner-up status has to go to former Republican Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole who has signed a contract to be a lobbyist for the UAE-based company! But can he even convince Libby on this one - even with Viagara on his side!

All this proves yet again, the Bush Administration and Republicans like Bob Dole don't give a shit about national security as long as some republican US investors and lobbyists can make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Week of February 13, 2006 - Hands down winner is Dick "The Shooter" Cheney who sprayed up to 200 bird shot pellets into his hunting buddy while hunting on the ranch of the daughter of a Haliburton Board Member who selected Cheney as CEO.  Although Cheney only admitted to having one beer before the incident, we know better than that.  Gee, no wonder he didn't allow himself to be interviewed until the next day?

Week of February 6, 2006 - This weeks winner is again Alberto Gonzales the inept and sinister Attorney General of the United States who appeared before the Senate Judiciary to try and sell a faulty legal analysis to the much better informed members of that body. Not even Republicans including Specter, Graham, DeWine, or Brownback fell for it.  Of course, all the Democrats knew better.  Gonzales proved himself to be unworthy of the position of Attorney General as he continues to misunderstand even the most fundamental legal issued that the Bush wiretaps are illegal under FISA and the Supreme Court interpretations of the 4th Amendment. 

He was also lying and refused to answer questions that in no way would have divulged any national security interest.  The man is worthless as a lawyer or as a public servant and should crawl back in his rat hole. 

The runner-up was the Republican Senators on the Judiciary Committee, who saved Gonzales from potential perjury charges when they failed to make his swear to his statements.

Week of January 30 - President George Bush - More than 30 years after the Arab Oil Embargo of  1973, George Bush in his State of the Union Address recognizes that the United States is "addicted to oil" and that the security of the United States depends upon its reducing its reliance on foreign middle-eastern oil.  What a Genuis, how does he come up with this stuff? 

The public policy of the Democrats and the rest of the industrial world since 1970 has been to reduce reliance on oil and particularly oil from the middle east.  The scariest thing about all of this is that the news media reports this as a brave stance for an administration that is in the oil industry's pocket. 

Whoa - hold on a minute! Bush said nothing about conservation programs or the imposition of requirements on the auto industry.  The only "new ground" Bush and the republicans are breaking is the most recent push to allow drilling in the National Artic Wildlife Refuge.  Mark our words!   

Week of January 23 - Attorney General Alberto "Torture Boy" Gonzales - For the second week in a row, the award has to go to Attorney General Gonzales who continues to try and defend his and President Bush's illegal campaign of wiretaps of American citizens in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the United States Constitution.  Moving from the mass media, Gonzales tried to appear at Georgetown Law School to defend the administation.  Big Mistake Torture Boy!

Instead of appearing before a group of soldiers ordered not to disrespect the administration or the automatons of the Federalist Society, he appeared before intelligent people with sharp legal minds who actually speak up to defend their precious constitutional rights. Torture Boy got what he deserved.  The law students turned their backs on him and carried a banner for the press quoting Benjamin Franklin that read, "THOSE WHO WOULD SACRIFICE LIBERTY FOR SECURITY DESERVE NEITHER." All we can say is "Go Hoyas!"

Week of January 16 - Attorney General Alberto "Torture Boy" Gonzales - Bush, Condi Rice and Alberto Gonzales approved illegal wiretaps of Americans so it was only natural that the constitutionally-inept Attorney General  appeared on "Larry King Live" and Fox New’s "Hannity and Combs" show to defend himself and his bosses and lay the groundwork for the defense of their criminal conduct which might result in their respective impeachments or criminal indictments.  

Mission One - Confuse the issue and distract the public by discrediting anyone's assertion that Bush, Gonzales and Condi broke the law.  This weeks victim, Al Gore, who correctly asserted that the president of the United States is violating the law and the Constitution by his warrantless  wiretaps of American citizens.

Rather than provide his worthless and shoddy legal justification for the illegal wiretaps, the ever-ignorant Gonzales tried to hide the ball and accuse Bill Clinton of engaging in illegal conduct.  What a novel and interesting approach - the "Blame It On Bill" excuse.  Gonzales said, "It's my understanding that during the Clinton administration there was activity regarding physical searches without warrants." Gonzales also said that, "the deputy attorney general [under Clinton] testified before Congress that the president does have the inherent authority under the Constitution to engage in physical searches without a warrant.  And so, those would certainly seem to be inconsistent with what the former vice president was saying today." 

What does this have to do with whether or not Bush, Condi and Gonzales broke the law?  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

"Torture Boy" Gonzales hardly ever addresses the issues.  And even when he is making a spurious point, he cannot tell the truth.  See, Alberto has a big problem with his memory and the truth.  For instance, he can never remember whether he or Harriet Meyers visited the Air National Guard Base in Texas in 1998 to "review" Bush's records that mysteriously disappeared.

In this case, Torture Boy is wrong on the facts and the law. First of all, every first year law student knows that law enforcement officials have the right to conduct physical searches in limited circumstances without warrants. Secondly,  the specific incident "of warrantless physical searches" during the Clinton Administration occurred 2 years before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was amended to make them illegal.  

One has to wonder whether Alberto ever did attend Harvard and if he did, whether he ever PASSED a constitutional law class.  Gonzales' inept legal advice to Bush has resulted in illegal wiretaps, illegal torture and illegal detainments - each of which constitute crimes under federal law and violate the constitutional rights afforded to citizens. 

A close runner-up was Laura Bush.  But, really,  we expect her to make stupid remarks.  After all, isn’t her marriage enough to establish that she has long been functioning at a diminished capacity? She defended her husband, as quoted in USA Today, "I think the American people expect the United States government and the president to do what they can to make sure there's not an attack by foreign terrorists," and "I think he [W] was worried that it would undermine our efforts by alerting terrorists to what our efforts are." 

Of course, Mrs. George Bush missed the point entirely. Under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the president can ask for a subpoena from a secret court.
