The Republican National Committee has been sending out regular news releases about Kerry's French relatives and his popularity in France. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) has been known to start a speech with: "Good afternoon, or, as John Kerry might say, 'Bonjour.' "
LOL! Gotta love Tom Delay.
Max Berley, a French-speaking foreign editor at The Washington Post, made this startling discovery when he came across a blog item published last week by the French newspaper Liberation. "The entourage of John Kerry has just contacted a French anthropologist based in the United States, Clotaire Rapaille, in order to better understand how to beat Bush in November," wrote correspondent Fabrice Rousselot. He reported that Rapaille advised Kerry "to call for a summit with all the European leaders to devise anti-terrorism strategies, in order to show that he 'does more' than Bush regarding security."
More LOL! Certainly this will get Kerry the au courant, haughty, French looking gigolo who btw served in Vietnam elected.
He is the man who took charge of America on 9/11 by "putting together a secure teleconference to manage the crisis," he writes on page 2.
If you knew anything about Washington, you would surely think that a staffer on the National Security Council - traditionally a role without a great deal of authority - wouldn't be a major decision-maker during the day of and the days following the attack on this country.
Clarke says he all but ordered the president of the United States not to return to Washington on that day. ("Figure out where to move the president. He can't come back here until we know what the s--t is happening.")
By his own account, it was Clarke who gave the order to "authorize the Air Force to shoot down any aircraft . . . that looks like it is threatening to attack."
You thought it was Dick Cheney who gave that order? You were wrong - at least if you believe Dick Clarke.
Oh, and Clarke took command of the Air Force, too. ("Roger, find out where the fighter planes are. I want Combat Air Patrol over every major city in this country. Now.")
Whew, Richard is a smaller d**k than I thought.
Check out this wierd Dana Milbank "article" in today's WashPost:
White House NotebookI don't know what to make of it. My initial reaction was that Milbank is trying to resurrect Michael Kelly's humorous writing style. I'd like your professional opinion.
