Members of a support group of September 11 widows, from left, Mindy Kleinberg, Krisiten Breitweiser, Patricia Casazza and Lorie Van Auken, pose in New Jersey, Thursday, May 16, 2002. Some relatives of September 11 victims, like Breitweiser, are seething over revelations that President Bush got advance warnings, not shared with the public, that Osama bin Laden's terror network might hijack U.S. planes. Breitweiser said she became convinced shortly after the attacks that U.S. authorities mishandled cluesthat could have helped avert the carnage. (AP Photos/Daniel Hulshizer)

Shocking. I'm shocked and deeply troubled. </sarcasm>

Rush (and my wife, for that matter) have of late advised me to not even listen to the "mainstream" media, since it's so exasperating, and they will obviously never even bend their "rules."
But I have a tough time just throwing in the towel.
I can understand a little built-in bias.
But the NBCABCCBSPBSCNN crowd are going WAY over the top these days.
They're nothing more than Democratic party PR firms.
I agree that there's little more I can do other than b**tch about it, but it infuriates me that the election will hinge on the 20% "undecided" vote, and they pay attention to these left-wing networks and the crap they spew.

I am getting really sick at the power these 4 have managed to gain. It's impressive, but it is very dangerous as they are turning the 911 commission into a personal vendetta against Bush rather than try to make the US safer.

Sleazy carnival magicians at least try to distance themselves from their shills:
"I'd like a volunteer from the audience. Now we have never met before, right?"
Let's have an in-depth analysis of who these 9/11 women have talked to in the last 24 hours - are they getting their spin from anyone, or are these their real original thoughts?

I have just about had a bellyfull of 911 victims relatives.
Every day people die in auto accidents , in fires, accidentally run over by cars, their families collect a minimal amount of insurance money someimtes nothing, these floks have a had a grievous loss but no more grievous than many others who's folks die suddenly from causes they had no control over. These people have had federal monies , donated monies, Therapy, and many advantages other folks havent had. I know money cant replace relatives but damn these people have had their 15 minutes.

Mrs. Breitweiser insists that she voted for Bush in 2000, but has wildly declared that Three thousand people were murdered on Bush's watch. Times arts editor Frank Rich also noted how she tartly complained that a Showtime 9-11 docudrama failed to display President Bush reading to school children while people like my husband were burning alive inside the World Trade Center towers because it would have been contrary to Karl Roves art direction and grand vision. Shes hardly nonpolitical. If this woman was in her right mind she would recognize the fact that Bush is the ONLY ONE who has gone after those responsible for 9-11, that these attacks were being planned while Clinton was in office, who's weak response to terrorism allowed al-Qaeda to grow and spread. Bin Laden even said that Clinton's inaction proved America was a paper tiger that could be attacked with impunity.
The statements by these anti-Bush widows are irrational and a disgrace to the memories of those lost in the terrorist attacks because they are clearly exploiting 9-11 for their personal bitter political agendas.
Bush has taken the lead in the war on those responsible for 9-11 and if they had an ounce of decency they would be thanking him.

On NBC this morning, while The Today Show was covering the weather, there was a crawl along the bottom of the screen, where the important breaking news runs. It read:
"911 widow finds Condoleeza Rice's testimony disappointing."
Thanks for keeping us updated with this late-breaking news, NBC.

(I've got my eye out for Mullah Omar.)
Friday ,04.09.04, NBC's Today show host, Couric, again interviews Kristen Breitweiser and other family members of 9-11.
Breitweiser: "I was disappointed! I didn't see any proof of priority!" "What about all the rest of the PDB's..declassify them all!"
Brietweiser went on to suggest that if auto manufacturers can design (now this is where she confused me..) vehicles that give off warnings before they crash into an object.."we need a plane that cannot crash into a building ..can't crash into a mountain".
Patty Casazza (pictured above) said she heard nothing new than what she had known before from private testimony.
Deborah (?) (I had not seen before ): "I was satisfied! I am awaiting the final report." She believed yesterday's Rice hearing was only " a show for the public."

I wonder how Ted Olson feels about all of this...
Let me see if I've got this straight now: The Bush Administration had enough advance knowledge of 9/11 to have been able to prevent it, but they choose not to.
Can somebody tell me why they would do that? What would be their motivation? Political calculus? Laziness?
Do these people actually despise Bush so much that they honestly believe he intentionally allowed Al Qaeda to attack the United States? And then he would sit back and let them kill Barbara Olson, just to make it look authentic?
Once again, the Law of Unintended Political Consequences will bite the Democrats in the keister. First, they have now created a new, rising All-Star in the post-2004 Republican Party. And they have served to remind all Americans to focus on the fact that we were attacked by Al Qaeda terrorists, Al Qaeda is still attacking the Western World, and President Bush is our war-time President. The Democrats are reminding us that while our Commander-in-Chief is running for re-election, our brave Soldiers and Marines carrying out his policy are in a desperate battle against the very terrorists who are doing everything in their power to kill as many American citizens, home and abroad, as they possibly can.
Make no mistake, the polls are clear: if the 2004 campaign is going to be decided about 9/11, Bush wins big-time. Double digits.
If, however, the election instead becomes a referendum on: "Who do you think is more likely to stop the flow of jobs overseas, reduce deficits, provide better health care, improve our schools, reduce gas prices, protect the environment, and save Social Security?", in my view, the President will have an uphill struggle to convince a majority of the electorate that he is the better candidate. The polls seem pretty clear on that right now: IMO, the GOP sacrificed that principled high ground a long time ago. The 2004 Republican Party is basically Dem Lite on those issues. Why vote for a RINO, when you can get the real thing?

The commission is a sham; it's ONLY purpose is to try to hurt Bush. And the press won't have it any other way; they virtually ignored Rice's rebuttals of Clarke, ignored Kerrey's idiotic references to Rice as "Dr. Clarke" and his irresponsible description of the U.S. Army as a "Christian" army, and grasped at straws (the classified memo)to create innuendos of missed opportunities. Given Ms. Breitweister's pedigree, it's highly likely she's lying about having voted for Bush in 2000, but don't expect anyone in the media to question it. And Richard Clarke's blatant contradictions would render him red meat for the media if he were a Republican. "Today Bush/Cheney/Rice/Rumsfeld said this, apparently contradicting what they said last year," ergo they are lying, confused, stupid, etc.

How frustrating that they didn't post a snail mail or e-mail address for these grieving widows. The fact that the media doesn't care to refute their claims shouldn't preclude us from setting the record straight.

I'd like to expound a little on my label of these women as hate mongers.
It occurs to me that the Democrat party has become the party of selfish hate, and that is the reason that they relate so well to the terrorists. The only thing that matters to the various special interest haters that make up the Democrat party is the destruction of the opposition, just like the Islamofascists.

.....how she tartly complained that a Showtime 9-11 docudrama failed to display President Bush reading to school children while people like my husband were burning alive inside the World Trade Center towers....I don't like the idea of a president visiting a school to begin with. A state public school is not a federal venue and IMHO, is simply "baby kissing" to garner the female vote. If any "Bush" should have been reading to kids in a FL school, it should have been Gov. Jeb or Laura Bush.
The only fault I find in "W" on 9/11 was he was that he was not engaged in FEDERAL executive endeavors, rather than reading to a group of primary school children. This is not what presidents are for, though it seems "nice".
As for the 9/11 widows, they do their husbands memory shame by selling their grief for 15 minutes of fame and 30 pieces of silver from Kerry.
