While Mitt Romney condemns polygamy and its prior practice by his Mormon church, the Republican presidential candidate's great-grandfather, Miles Park Romney, married his fifth wife in 1897. That was more than six years after Mormon leaders banned polygamy and more than three decades after a federal law barred the practice. One of Romney's great-great grandfathers, Parley Pratt, an apostle in the church, had 12 wives.[Sure, let's elect a Mormon moron!]

[The neo-Nazis who worked for the 2004 Bush campaign had these two women arrested for wearing a Kerry-Edwards button pin and for a small, paper sign stating "No More War.".

1. His home state of Illinois.
2. His birth state of Hawaii.
3. The District of Columbia.
McCain won 510 Electoral Votes. Obama won 28.

Peray -- While emphasizing the importance of continuing U.S. operations against Pakistan-based Taliban fighters who attack U.S. forces in Afghanistan, the incoming administration intends to remind Americans how the fight against Islamist extremists began -- on Sept. 11, 2001, before the Afghanistan and Iraq wars -- and to underscore that al-Qaeda remains the nation's highest priority.

Crawford - one out of every six days
Whether or not the property was bought for political reasons, there is little doubt that Bush enjoyed visiting. He is on his 77th trip to the ranch, and if he leaves today, as planned, he will have spent 490 of his 2,922 days in office there, said Mark Knoller of CBS News, an unofficial record-keeper of the president's travels.[George W. Bush - Stupid and lazy has always been a very bad combination -- has spent well over a year at Camp David and another year and a half at Crawford. Not bad, 2 1/2 years out of eight.

George Walker Bush
43rd President of the United States
September 12, 2001 - January 20, 2009
'9/11 changed everything'
“From the very beginning, there was a conviction, that Saddam Hussein was a bad person and that he needed to go,” says Paul O’Neill, [Bush's first Treasury Secretary] who adds that going after Saddam was topic "A" 10 days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11. January memo warned of Al Qaeda
The memo dated January 25, 2001 - from counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke five days after Bush took office - was an essential feature of last year's [2004] hearings into intelligence failures before the attacks on New York and Washington. It recommended that the new administration urgently discuss the Al Qaeda network, including the magnitude of the threat it posed and strategy for dealing with it. The meeting on Al Qaeda requested by Clarke did not take place until September 4, 2001.Bush ignored August 6, 2001 PDB
Yeah well, he didn't cover our asses
At the 9/11 Commission hearings, Rice testified that the August 6, 2001 briefing was a "historical document" and not considered a "warning" : "This was not a 'threat report... [it] "did not warn of any coming attack inside the United States." Contrary to Bush being "tired of swatting flies," he was out in Crawford doing just that as he cleared some brush on vacation, ignoring the warnings he'd received and saying that attack was not considered "imminent." Ron Suskind's "The One Percent Doctrine" opens with Bush in Crawford receiving a hyper-nervous CIA operative who tries to warn him about the attack; Bush tells him "All right. You've covered your ass, now"He gave his Saudi friends a pass
15 out of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were Saudis
In charitable contributions alone, the Saudis gave at least $3.5 million to Bush charities -- $1 million by Prince Bandar to the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, $1 million by King Fahd to Barbara Bush's campaign against illiteracy, $500,000 by Prince Al Waleed to Philips Academy, Andover, to finance a newly created George Herbert Walker Bush Scholarship Fund, and a $1 million painting from Prince Bandar to George W. Bush's White House. Then there were the corporate transactions. In 1987, a Swiss bank linked to BCCI and a Saudi investor bailed out Harken Energy, where George W. Bush was a director, with $25 million in financing. In all, at least $1.476 billion had made its way from the Saudis to the House of Bush and its allied companies and institutions.[Sunday Scroll #97 should be in every child's history book.

What Republicans do best
WASHINGTON – The number of people receiving unemployment benefits has reached the highest level on records that go back more than 40 years, the government said Thursday, and more layoffs are spreading throughout the economy. The Labor Department reported that the number of Americans continuing to claim unemployment insurance for the week ending Jan. 17 was a seasonally adjusted 4.78 million, the highest since records started in 1967. That's an increase of 159,000 from the previous week and worse than economists' expectations of 4.65 million.[Republicans, the party that's good at putting you out of work! And of course, that graph does not show Reagan's unemployment which was worse than even the Bush's.]

In the Oval Office without a jacket
Remember last week when 'done that' reported Andrew 'Fall-Sale' Card's asinine tale of Reagan and the two Blundering Bushes so-called 'respect for the office' by always wearing a jacket in the Oval Office? Well WTF, Andy? Andrew Card epitomizes exactly what the last eight years under George W. Bush truly were; a pack of lies.The 100th Limbaugh Award
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 100th, and final, presentation of the world renowned Limbaugh Award.
With the George Bush economy and Congress' refusal of my bailout, [I wouldn't accept the paltry limit of a $500,000 salary] I can no longer afford to pay the 23 distinguished Limbaugh Award committee members.
It's been a long, long and tough ride with many battles fought to select just the right, and most importantly, the most deserving, recipient for this 'prestigious, but infamous' award for the liar of the week.
John 'Lil Bush' McCain won an astounding eight Limbaugh Awards during his embarrassingly dishonest and pitifully unsuccessful two year campaign for president.
Rush Limbaugh, the three-time divorced, mentally unstable and drug addicted pedophile and namesake of this great award, won six -- despite being blacklisted for 31 weeks! -- with such despicable rantings of calling our troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, 'phony soldiers'.Sean Hannity, undoubtedly one of the most obnoxious, and pathological lying assholes in the United States, was selected by the esteemed committee, five times - Four outright, and split two other awards with Bill O'Reilly and Victoria Toensing.
Karl 'Turd Blossom' Rove. By far the sleaziest, the most vile and certainly the creepiest of those awarded, won four.
Bill O'Reilly - What can you say about a guy who 'pleasures' himself with a dildo up his ass while harassing a co-worker with unwanted phone sex and still calls himself a 'culture warrior'? The other Pied Piper of the pathetic wingnut sheep won 3 1/2 Limbaughs - Three of his own and splitting the one with Hannity.
Rudy Giuliani, Alberto Gonzales, Mitt Romney and the Pretty Pork Princess Palin all appreciatively accepted three each. Giuliani and Gonzales of course are just a couple of low-lifes and Mitt Romney makes John Kerry look like the fucking Rock of Gibraltar.
But Sarah Palin was the one who absolutely dazzled our committee. The Lying Pork Princess won a stunning three of four weeks immediately after plopping her over-matched and not ready for prime time ass onto the national political scene on that historically comical day, August 29, 2008. It was brutal. We had to shut it off or that lying dimwitted yokel would have run the table from week #78 on.Dick 'The Evil Dickhead' Cheney, surprisingly, won only 2 1/2 Limbaughs. He and Doofus split a special 2007 year-end award in week #44.
Three others, Fox News' toe-sucking ethics expert, Dick Morris, Minnesota's dangerous and deranged congresswoman, Michele Bachmann, and the late Tony 'Snowjob' Snow all won two each of this internationally coveted award.
But this prestigious award for liars - presented here at 'done that' faithfully and with time-honored dignity and the utmost regard for fairness over these last 100 weeks - would be remiss if it did not bestow its most memorial, and final, award to its biggest winner, by far, historians' landslide consensus pick as the 'worst president ever' -- the lying 'Commander Guy' in Chief whose multi-trillion dollar price tag far out weighed the cost of any blue stained dress --
the one and the only, proud winner of 9 1/2 previous Limbaughs, George Walker Bush.Congratulations Gump. It wasn't easy destroying so much especially considering how good it was when you began your reign of terror on our great nation. For that, the 'world-renown' and now unemployed (along with the many other millions you ruined) 23 members of the esteemed Limbaugh Award Selection Committee unanimously award you, #100.
And, ladies and gentlemen, it's been real, it's been nice ... and I've 'done that'.
