from the web:
Kerry was droning about his opposition to ANWR at his OWN news conference. Hammond jumped up:
HAMMOND: Senator Kerry, I'm Don Hammond from News Central. Can I ask you one question?
KERRY: Excuse me?
HAMMOND: Thank you very much. A great measure of a democracy also is letting people ask questions in forums such as this.
KERRY: Everybody's going to ask their questions, you know, and you clearly have a loud voice and will be able to get your voice --
[laughter]
HAMMOND: Thank you so much. And I know you shifted a little bit from ANWR to the budget, but now can I shift to Jerry Corsi, a man that's running against you --
KERRY: No, I --
HAMMOND: -- for the Senate. He's made some amazing accusations regarding your military career. Did you or did you not --
[loud booing]
KERRY: What's the next question? What's your question?
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: This is for Senator Cantwell --
HAMMOND: You won't take my question?
Roll Call's March 16 "Heard on the Hill" column (subscription required) noted that during the press conference, Hammond repeatedly referred to Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), a co-sponsor of the ANWR legislation, "as 'ma'am' instead of Senator," in response to which Cantwell's press secretary "grabbed Hammond's arm and said, 'The next time you refer to Sen. Cantwell, it's "Senator" not "ma'am."'"
you are a pal. I love it. Especially the cigarette, it's at the perfect 'droop'.
Now, we get to start dropping it EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cigarette is optional.
LOL!
Transcript: January 30, 2005 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6886726/MR. RUSSERT: Many people who've been criticizing you have said: Senator, if you would just do one thing and that is sign Form 180, which would allow historians and journalists complete access to all your military records. Thus far, you have gotten the records, released them through your campaign. They say you should not be the filter. Sign Form 180 and let the historians...SEN. KERRY: I'd be happy to put the records out. We put all the records out that I had been sent by the military. Then at the last moment, they sent some more stuff, which had some things that weren't even relevant to the record. So when we get--I'm going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn't in the record and we'll put it out. I have no problem with that.
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN. KERRY: But everything, Tim...
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will. But everything that we put in it, Tim--everything we put in--I mean, everything that was out was a full documentation of all of the medical records, all of the fitness reports.
(Please FReepmail if you want on, or off, this list. I certainly have no desire to increase anyones stress-level. Thanks!!!)
"...if one of their own asked Bush ..."
Excuse me, the next time you refer to the PRESIDENT, it is PRESIDENT Bush. :-)
And they claim the media is not biased. Gannon and Hammond have more journalistic qualities in their pinkies than these brown nosed frauds who booed a legitimate question.
Thanks for the ping!
Yes, Ma'am.
Actually according to James Taranto at WSJ's "Best of The Web" it's been exactly 46 days since sKerry made that statement. But who's counting right?
Thank goodness someone in the MSM is keeping a running count.
Anybody know...When Kerry is going to FINALLY sign that form 180...???!!!Uh, never? I think he won't EVER sign it! My 2 cents.
He's a TRAITOR to this country!
LOL! And I love that pic in #63, bitt. hahaha!
Here's one using that Helen Thomas pic and I added RW:
[With no offense intended toward Robin Williams!]
haha! Good job, Boazo! What a hoot!
Oh, okay! haha!Thanks for letting me know. :^D
I guess I just KNOW how despicable Helen the Troll is and just
haven't seen RW bash Bush. He's less high profile in my world
than she is. I recall all those mornings of her and Ari Fleischer
in his press briefings. What a beech she is.
