Imagine If…a Republican CIA chief had said that Vice President Al Gore hoped America would be attacked…just to prove a point.
Imagine If…a comedian had joked that Chelsea Clinton had been raped by a professional athlete and that Nancy Pelosi dressed like a slutty flight attendant. Was there even a reaction from the Flight Attendants Association?
Imagine If… George Bush had poked fun at The Special Olympics in talking about his golf game.
Imagine if…George Bush had laughed (or smirked) his way through an interview about the worst financial crisis since the Carter Administration. (No, its not the worst economy since the Depression) In the 1970’s unemployment was at 10%, mortgage loan rates were at 17% and interest rates, in general, were in double digits.
Imagine if… John Boehner, House Minority leader or, God forbid, Sarah Palin instead of Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, had said this: “Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs.
Duh…there are only about 380 million people living in the country…now if you count the 12 million illegal – oops, undocumented – immigrants, that is still only 392 million total.
Ok, ok, I know she mis-spoke or mis-led or mis-tified or mis-somethinged…but, well, you get the point…no?
Imagine if… journalists from MSNBC and CNN were reporting on the atrocities that are occurring on the Texas/Mexico border as the much-maligned FoxNews Network is doing.
Imagine if… Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich had been allowed to call Illinois lawmakers as witnesses during his impeachment trial. Is it possible that corruption in Illinois political circles involves only the Governor? Have you ever seen such unanimity in condemning a Democratic political figure in the past? Even Louisiana Rep. William Jefferson, whose freezer was found to contain $90,000 in cash, got more support from his buds. Methinks, the politicos doth protest too much. What say you?
Imagine if… there was one specific indispensable person who alone had the experience to fill the top spot at the CIA…as there obviously was at Treasury.
Imagine if… Treasury Secretary Geithner who is, by default, head of the IRS, had been capable enough to generate accurate tax returns using the virtually fool-proof (no pun intended) TurboTax program.
Imagine if… Treasury Secretary Geithner had paid the taxes he owed for 2000 and 2001 even though the Statute of Limitations had expired for those years.
Imagine If… Sarah Palin had said this:
“I’m really coming into this as somebody who isn’t, you know, part of the system, who obviously, you know, stands for the values of, you know. I know how important it is to, you know, to be my own person. And, you know, and that would be obviously true with my relationship with the mayor.” Huh?
Or this:
“Well, you know, that’s something, obviously, that, you know, in principle and in the campaign, you know, I think that, um, the tax cuts, you know, were expiring and needed to be repealed.” Duh? (And still, no SNL “Caroline” character emerges.)

Imagine if… Richard Cheney had said this:
Excerpted from an article on chicagotribune.com: “….It was against this grim background that Biden, asked whether Obama’s surge in Afghanistan would lead to more American casualties, said: ’I hate to say it, but yes, I think there will be. There will be an uptick’.” – Vice President Joseph Biden
What? No Exit Strategy? No Timetable for Withdrawal??
