	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-5104802" class="dsq-comment-message">Ok this is part 2. Because earlier today I posted about this brief that was in the NYTimes yesterday. Basically according NYT Olmert said to the AP that Bush was his bitch and he called Bush up to tell him not put a resolution in front of the UN that the uppity Rice was drafting about Israel\'s war against Hamas. I thought this epitomized what was wrong with US foreign policy( jumping to Israels piper). Olmerts arrogance to say this was astounding. My second thought was this was AP\'s way to stir up trouble. Rather it seems like its Olmert who is tripping- if Bush folks are to be believed.<br><br><br>US says Olmert\'s UN vote story \'just 100%, totally not true\'<br><a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1231866576464&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull" rel="nofollow">http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1231...</a><br>By HERB KEINON AND ALLISON HOFFMAN <br>Israel and the US engaged in a rare and uncharacteristic public spat Tuesday over events leading to the US abstention in last Thursday\'s UN Security Council resolution vote on the Gaza crisis.<br><br>Israel\'s Ambassador to the United Nations Gabriela Shalev and US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at a Security Council meeting about the situation in Gaza, UN headquarters in New York, Tuesday.<br><br>Both the State Department and White House spokesmen said that Prime Minister Ehud Olmert\'s claim that he had essentially gotten US President George W. Bush to twist Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice\'s arm and abstain on the measure was simply untrue.<br><br>State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said Olmert\'s story of what happened in his conversation with Bush was "just 100 percent, totally, completely not true," while White House deputy press secretary Tony Fratto said "there are inaccuracies."<br><br>During a speech to local authority heads in Ashkelon on Monday, Olmert said that Rice had been embarrassed when she was ordered to back down from supporting the resolution she had prepared, after Olmert intervened with Bush. <br><br>SKIP SKIP<br>"You really do wonder what the prime minister was thinking - if it\'s true, you\'d really want to keep it as quiet as possible, and if it\'s not true, why would you want to make up a story that would embarrass both the Bush administration and the Israeli government and draw criticism from those who are antagonistic to Israel?" asked Spiegel, director of the Center for Middle East Development at UCLA.<br><br>"No matter how you play it, exaggeration, falsehood, whole truth, the whole thing makes them all look bad," Spiegel told The Jerusalem Post. <br><br><br><br><br>If you ask me this is probably the last straw for Condi. She must be sick to death of swallowing all that disrespect  and second guessing of her expertise. I bet yesterday morning she picked up the NYT and was like "Oh no these motherfuckers did not just..." How much you bet her tell all book will be in bookstores this time next year about all the fucked up shit Rumsfeld, Cheney and company put her through??? She loyal but not that loyal.</div>\

She will be a part of history now.</b><br><br>"Throughout the years, that became an important, iconic story in our family," Alexander said. "A way of saying, \'this is what you do when you think that things should be better. You work, you march, you do and contribute what you have to contribute.\' That\'s what always meant to me so the day after Dr. King\'s birthday, to be in that very spot and for me also to be in the great city that I grew up in is going to be very powerful."<br><br><b>She becomes only the fourth person in history to read a poem during a presidential inauguration.</b><br><br>The last poet to have this honor was Miller Williams, who read for President Bill Clinton\'s second Inauguration 1997.<br><br>Maya Angelou was his first in 1993.<br><br>Robert Frost was the very first during President John F. Kennedy\'s inauguration in 1961.<br><br>Frost actually recited an old poem he\'d memorized. Blinded by the sun, he couldn\'t read the poem from the podium he\'d actually written for the day.<br><br>Speaking of Frost, what\'s Alexander\'s back up plan in case something goes wrong on stage on Tuesday?<br><br>"I will have many copies tucked away," she said.<br><br>With five books on poetry, a Pulitzer Prize nomination in 2005, Alexander says the inaugural poem is all but finished.<br><br>"What will be your job that day?" Pitts asked. "What are you hoping to accomplish?"<br><br>"I am hoping to offer language that will give people a moment of pause," Alexander said. "That there is almost a quiet pool in which they are able to stand and think for a moment. I think that\'s part of what poetry does. It arrests us."<br><br>Alexander says she\'s not nervous. She\'s humbled.<br><br><b>And next Tuesday, she hopes to create a visual imagery with words that will capture the moment in time.</b></i><br><br><b>CAIN\'T WAIT!!!</b>  It\'s gonna B   a "GREAT DAY!" <b>JANUARY 20, 2009!</b></div>\

Rod Blagojevich, who blasted his opponents in the state\'s House after they impeached him.<br><br>Then there was yesterday\'s news conference by President George W. Bush, who spoke about the highs and lows of his presidency.<br><br>Yet out of all the things that he said, nothing was absurd was his defense of the federal response to the disaster in New Orleans wreaked by Hurricane Katrina.<br><br>Bush said that it was wrong to assert that the federal response was slow as evidenced by the 30,000 people rescued off rooftops.<br><br>Huh?<br><br>Anyone with common sense - Republicans or Democrats - could conclude that the federal response to the mayhem there was horrible. And for Bush to try to spin it was even more horrible.<br><br>He should have just admitted that that was a massive failure.
