Andy Card Douchebag Update

Earlier this week I named former Bush White House Chief of Staff Andy Card Douchebag of the Week for flipping out over the non story of Obama not wearing a jacket 24/7 while actually in his Oval Office.

It's almost a week later and he's still bitching about it... on Inside Edition no less.

Someone should remind Card of this little snapshot.

That would be former CIA Director George Tenet, probably in the act of imploring the freaks in the Oval Office to reconsider their plans for world domination with Step One being Iraq, before he was sucked into the dark side and decided it was a slam dunk. That's Card on the right.

It's obvious Tenet's credibility was found wanting because he wasn't wearing a jacket.

This just in: Andrew Card is still a douchebag.

UPDATE (2/6/09 12:10am): Time for Andrew Card to shut the fuck up.

Tenet "Slam Dunks" Cheney

NEW YORK TIMES: WASHINGTON, April 26 — George J. Tenet, the former director of central intelligence, has lashed out against Vice President Dick Cheney and other Bush administration officials in a new book, saying they pushed the country to war in Iraq without ever conducting a “serious debate” about whether Saddam Hussein posed an imminent threat to the United States.

“There was never a serious debate that I know of within the administration about the imminence of the Iraqi threat,” Mr. Tenet writes in a devastating judgment that is likely to be debated for many years. Nor, he adds, “was there ever a significant discussion” about the possibility of containing Iraq without an invasion.

... He also makes clear his bitter view that the administration made him a scapegoat for the Iraq war.

... Mr. Tenet described with sarcasm watching an episode of “Meet the Press” last September in which Mr. Cheney twice referred to Mr. Tenet’s “slam dunk” remark as the basis for the decision to go to war.

“I remember watching and thinking, ‘As if you needed me to say ‘slam dunk’ to convince you to go to war with Iraq,’ ” Mr. Tenet writes.

The book entitled "At the Center of the Storm" is to be published by Harper Collins on Monday, April 30th, 2007 and can be purchased at Amazon.com.
