					<description>Oh, sorry, I see you did provide for the separation of outed secrets. The flow came around from underneath and attached to the sales aspect...I'm embrassed for being flow chart reading impaired., although I'm a wiz with understanding pie graphs</description>

					<description>The flow chart isn't altogether accurate..the secret outed category needs to be subdivided into two sections with one section connecting to the packaging category and the other connecting to smear dissenters category. This is because there are two distinctly different types of outed secrets. And also without a  noticeable doublespeak filter placed between the bubble and the flow on the make it public side, the casual observer will misunderstand the nature of the relationship between the public and the bubble.</description>

					<description>Maha, you and your flow chart are amazingly good at 'hitting the jugular' on each and every point of bushit flow.  

 Makes me chuckle to picture the Bushies trying to hide in their purposefully created fog, but here comes  Maha who unerringly reaches through the fog and grabs them by the throat.</description>

					<description>[...] On the &amp;#8220;Bush Policy Decision Process&amp;#8221; flow chart, this is the familiar step of &amp;#8220;Policy Decisions Made&amp;#8221; inside a bubble. And no one with expertise or a diverse point of view is allowed inside the bubble.  The reports received a cool reception from Bush administration policymakers at the White House and the office of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, according to the former officials, who discussed them publicly for the first time. [...]</description>

					<description>Remember this Bush did not win the election in 2004.  He bought the election from Diebold.  I live in Evansville, IN and when I voted in 2004 it kept popping up George Bush when I voted for John Kerry.  I don't know if I voted 4 times for Bush and then 1 time for Kerry or what happened without a paper trail.  But it made me wish that I had not voted at all</description>

					<description>Flow chart - sales pitch.

Did anyone see Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson on &quot;Hardball&quot; with Chris Matthews&quot;?  She was just on pitching the &quot;sales points&quot; for port agreement per flow chart.

I couldn't believe Chris' question to her.  &quot;Senator, why don't you run for President?&quot;

She said that she &quot;was certainly qualified&quot; and &quot;capable&quot; but it &quot;just wasn't in her belly&quot; at this time.

Give me a break!  Put that &quot;b----&quot; back on the bus.  She used to be a news reporter for a TV station in Houston.  I can remember seeing a video of her on the bus when Bush was running for office.  I think it was Governor of TX but it could have been for President in 2000.

It looks like she had a haircut and a color job which she needed badly.</description>
