Rats Know When To Flee A Sinking Ship

... Even If It Is In Dry Dock.
What is up with all these high level Republican / White House departures? Some we know about, Donald Rumsfeld, Tom Delay, Larry Craig and now we have the second highest ranking Republican, Senator Trent Lott, leaving five years before his seat was expected to be contested, causing the Katrina stricken state of Mississippi to spend over a million some odd dollars to hold a special election just to replace him. Why?
Why? After trampling all over our Constitution, driving our economy into the ground over a misguided, mismanaged war and allowing no bid contractors like Halliburton to rape us in Iraq, is it possible that they foresee the cow pie hitting the fan? .... and that’s the ceiling fan folks ... mind you ... it’s piled that high.
While we’re on the subject of our good friends at Halliburton, isn’t convenient that they're moving their corporate headquarters from Huston to Dubai, in a country with no extradition agreements that I can find with the US? Why does the Titanic come to mind?
It looks to me like the USS King George is taking on water ... fast, and that’s a damn hard thing to do in dry dock. Be a good Capitan George .....

Nice.
I love a good nautical metaphor!
Tolerance ends
Haliburton
No extradition policies....but can we fly over Dubai's air space and blow the cow pies out of their hqs?

I would like to express my 100% support for
all the rats staying on the ship.
I hadn't heard that Haliburton was running for the border. Guilty is as guilty does, I guess.

Being in the minority just doesn't agree well with the members
of the Party of Greed. The siren call of K Street becons to their bank accounts.

I really like Betsy's idea. I could see it now "CNN reports cow pies falling from the sky on Halliburtons new HQ in dubai... it's it a sign from above? In the past locust served to warn the evil doer .... how times have changed" : ) Leslie, if we get our way that ship will look less like a luxury linner and more like a prison barge because you are so right "guilty is as guilty does", never truer words spoken.
Faren....of course, there's always the CIA
last I heard they don't need an extradition agreement to scoot someone out of town....if you know what I mean :)
Glad to see you around.

Literature predicts.......
Remember "Man Without a Country"?
I wonder if the Haliburton crew and other moneybags contractors would mind if the hoi polloi (that's us, folks) demanded and got passage of a law that forbids the rats from returning to their country as long as they live.
Would they care, since Dubai is where the hypocrites go for fun and games, isn't it? Maybe permanent banishment would bother some of them. I'm wiling to give it a try.....but fat chance the legislators who feed a the trough would pass such a law. Oh, please King George, go to Dubai to visit your buddies and stay there.
How about sending him to the Hague instead?
Just a thought.
Be the change you wish to see in the world. --Gandhi
