I'm sure all the networks will be showing this.

He just waited patiently. I'm not even sure if he turned around to look.

Capitol police johnny on the spot again......

Don't you mean: "Capitol police on the johnny again"?

[Mo1]

I just saw that, too... was it my imagination or was one of them Medea Benjamin?

Don't know .. if not, I'm sure they are friends

[McGruff]

Was one of those protesters carrying a "Hillary 2008" poster.

[Petronski]

That's a *woman* acting like that???

She's a lot more of a woman than you are a man.

Forget Specter- let's get a stronger Armed Forces Committee Chairman too.

This is all nonsense. This simply displays weakness to our enemies.

[ken5050]

Karl Rove..

[Darlin']

Give it a rest.

[Barlowmaker]

Rumsfeld looks shaken.

Kidding, I hope?

Terrorists will emphasize the bad and try to obscure what is good. We will strive to do our best, as imperfect as it may be.

Sadly so do too many Americans.

The first part listed the original post. I haven't figured out italics yet.

I don't care less about the money that any of them get. Tell the truth because it's true. Do what's right because it's right. If you're compensated, great. If not, still tell the truth and do what is right.

To some, this is anathema. Let them think so. That's my view and my opinion.

Rumsfeld looks shaken.

He's neither shaken or stirred.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Rumsfeld looks fine.

[Beckwith]

Senator Levin is one of the most partisan Democrats in Congress.

[proud American in Canada]

"My respect for Rumsfeld just went up another notch. He is very cool under pressure."

darn it, I missed that--was just able to tune in, but I loved what he said about our ability to admit our mistakes to the world is a light/beacon.

It sounded like a terrific opening statement. If anyone finds a transcript, could you please ping me? thanks.

I agree.... those loones are who the left take with pride,....they can have them.... Rummy is the type of class that I want for my g-kids fututre.

[OXENinFLA]

carrying a "Hillary 2008" poster.

No, that was a tattoo.

[StriperSniper]

Hillary's 'shock troops'.

[Catspaw]

There I was, in the kitchen slicing up cucumbers (and thinking....well, never mind what I was thinking) and I heard this ruckus on the tube. Without even being able to see the TV screen, I just *knew* it was code pink. I think Medea herself protested against Rummy before, and IIRC, she said she'd wrapped the banner around her waist to get through security. My guess that's what they did this time.

Reparations? Oh boy, people who weren't even detained will be claiming abuse.
