Cohen should do his search on something other that a kids Etch-a-Sketch.
I can think of at least a halF-dozeN instances where he has been callED just that, ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE!
If Iraq had no Nuclear weapons program then why did Scott Ritter say that Iraq had three Nuclear weapons assemblies when he testified before the Senate Intel Cmmt. on Sept 5, 1998?
I didn't have to link the article to read this sad commentary...you can just sense the hate from the opening..remember the maxim..dems saying hateful things about gop is ok..gop "quoting" dems or defending themselves is wrong and evil..
His masters at the post will only allow him "intranet" access.
Excuse me but wasn't it Lenin himself that coined the term "useful idiot" to describe members of the left wing (like Richard Cohen) in the free world? Those whose sympathies advanced the communist cause?
I immediately found a speech by Charles Rangle entering into the record an article by James Breslin. I'll check for more.
SPEECH OF HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL OF NEW YORK IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2005
- Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to introduce into the Record the commentary entitled ``War must be a local issue'', written by Jimmy Breslin in the November 9, 2005 issue of Newsday.
- Jimmy Breslin's writing cuts to the heart of an issue and this article does just that. He focuses on how the President's lies are perpetuated at the local level, in this case by Mayor Michael Bloomberg; and how some in the Congress and we as citizens accept those lies because we are living ``in a time of National Alzheimer's.'
Cohen's search? I don't believe he even knows what this 'internet' thingie is. And Google? Fuhgeddaboutit!
Readership is down. Have they figured out why?
Cohen should do his search on something other that a kids Etch-a-Sketch.
I can't, or more accurately won't, go into detail but I know that 'remote' airstrip right outside Mena in Polk County and I can assure you from personal knowledge those drug smuggling charges are true. The sheriff at the time was named Al Hadaway and the prosecutor was Joe Hardagree. I may have misspelled one or both of those names. A judge named Ford was also complicit (I'm pretty sure I spelled Ford correctly). I hope they don't come after me again. At least I lived to not tell about it. Others were less fortunate. I don't wish to join them.
democrats have NEVER said that President Bush lied?!?!?!?
Then what the hell have they been complaining about for the past 3 years?
What a friggin idiot this guy is. Expect this line of "reasoning" to be the new DNC talking point. Hopefully the sheeple have a memory that goes back at least 10 minutes and realize that the dems are, once again, full of crap.
IRAQ AND THE MARCH IN WASHINGTON, D.C. -- (House of Representatives - September 27, 2005)
Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, Cindy Sheehan, who was arrested yesterday for simply exercising her constitutional right to freedom of speech outside the White House, has awoken a
sleeping American public. She deserves a great deal of credit for her tireless campaign against the Bush administration's lies and abuses which have governed the war in Iraq from the very beginning. Her campaign awakened the American people to realize just how awful this war truly is. [Page: H8379] GPO's PDFThis weekend over 300,000 Americans, and I know it was more than 100,000 as reported by the press because I was there, over 300,000 Americans demonstrated the same resolve as Cindy Sheehan by showing up in force at a rally in Washington, D.C. It was one of the first times since the 1970s that so many people had descended on the Nation's capital to protest a war.
If strength of numbers demonstrates the injustice of a particular policy, then the thousands who participated in Saturday's march depicted the wrongness of the Iraq war.
Most Americans know that the war in Iraq is not increasing our national security, that by continuing to fight an unwinnable war the President is ensuring our national insecurity.
Most Americans know that the Bush administration had no plan for how to conduct the war. They had no plan for securing the country once Saddam was deposed; and now they have no plan for ending the war.
Most Americans know the terror and chaos that plague Iraq cannot be resolved simply by staying the course. I am sure the families of the 2,000 American soldiers and countless thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians killed in this war would argue that the last 2-plus years of fighting have not brought much stability to Iraq or to their lives.
Let us not forget about the thousands of American soldiers who were not killed in Iraq, but whose lives will nonetheless be changed forever as a result of injuries sustained during the war: arms and legs lost, shrapnel wounds cutting into every body part, emotional trauma. How will these wounds ever heal?
The thousands of Americans who bravely serve in our Nation's military deserve better. In fact, all Americans deserve better. They deserve better than an endless war that is slowly draining our national coffers. They deserve better than $9 billion of congressionally appropriated funds being lost; $9 billion lost. That is really pretty hard to imagine. Lost under the Coalition Provisional Authority's watch, or the new $1 billion that has gone missing to the Iraqi Government, U.S. money intended for training of Iraqi security forces.
While the Bush administration is failing the American people through its foreign policies, they are also neglecting priorities at home. Just take the recent hurricanes that have bombarded the southeastern United States over the past month.
If anything, Katrina and Rita have demonstrated just how skewed our national priorities have become. The Federal Government failed to assist thousands of Americans, mostly poor, mostly underprivileged, mostly African American during their great time of need.
What we need now is an independent commission to investigate how the hurricane response was botched so badly. Unfortunately, the Bush administration's response to the failures at home is just like his response given to its failures in Iraq: deflection and misdirection of any blame whatsoever.
President Bush has announced that he will establish a partisan, congressionally appointed oversight committee; but that is not what the American people need. That is not what the American people deserve. We need an impartial, independent commission to get to the bottom of why the National Guard was in Iraq and not in the United States to protect its citizens.
Mr. Speaker, it is clear that we need a drastic change in policies, both at home and in Iraq. The American people know when they are being lied to, when they are being misled.
It is time that Congress started doing what it was created to do: represent the will of the American people, rescue victims of natural disasters, and rescue our troops by bringing them home.
I cant help but wonder how Cohen cleans himself after taking a Sheehan. Its obvious he cant find his ass with either hand.
Does Ted Kennedy's rant---"Lie after lie after lie after lie..." count?
I would think so. Shall I see if I can find it, or have we laughed at Cohen enough?
