For all that you have put yourself through watching "Jabroni-Fest" every morning: . . .

I saw Sy Hersh recently on C-SPAM2 "Book Notes" at an event hosted by
The Nation magazine. He was on the podium with Scott Ritter.
Hersh maintained that a USA Colonel was in charge of the troops killing non-combatants in the Al Qaim area (last month?). This guy was a Vietnam vet still on active duty and wrote some scathing critique some years back on VN. I do not recall the Colonel's name nor the book.
Most of Hersh's other criticisms were from unnamed sources. I got the distinct impression that this guy wallows in slime and is about as honest as Lardass Michael Moore.
Wasn't he discredited at some point (over Clinton scandals?)?

I deeply appreciate the sentiment, but really, it's too much. A month's supply of Nexium would be nice, though ;-)
By the way, you sent me scuttling to the online urban dictionary with your descripton of Today as a Jabroni-fest.- I see Jabroni means:
"a loser, poser, lame-a__." LOL.

I guess this is the new DNC talking point

Thank dfwgator. I could not fit his name in the tagline space.
I saw him say that one day and started ROFL. Now it's memorialized.

I am sure they will now pick up on John Fund's inexplicable (to me) allegation that the President is so volatile and angry that the people around him are afraid of him. I don't believe this for a minute and I cannot understand why he would say such a thing.

Thanks as always Mark.
I should have watched this instead of the totally out of touch drivel embodied by the phone-in "interview" of Frank Rich by Dom Imus. Their attempt to completely rewrite history was nauseating. They drew the conclusion that the war in Iraq was unwinnable and we should just stop trying.
Made me so mad I had to beat the dogs and kick the cat. (Just kidding - but I was fit to be tied.)

Don't we all long for the good ol' days when the President of the United States would do focus groups on whether he should buy a dog.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Libs are poll driven because they base their opinion on what the public thinks at that time. The public, as we all know, is extremely fickle which is probably why the libs flip-flop so much.
Conservatives, real ones at least, have a core set of beliefs and work forward from that. If the polls favor us thats great. If they don't, thats too bad.
Leadership is not about doing what the public wants in the latest poll. Leadership is about doing what *you* think best. That is one (of many) libs will never be good leaders. Instead of making up their own minds, they let the fickle public do it for them.
To: Mr. Brightside
Exactly. And there was that famous incident where Clinton wanted to vacation on Martha's Vineyard again but Dick Morris told him he had to go camping out West for image purposes.
To: Mo1; governsleastgovernsbest
Yeah, I saw that segment with Blitzer and old "Sy" was implying that GWB's religion has put him in the "disturbed" zone and he may need "watchers" now.
Sy is so anti-religion as to be a bit disturbed himself.

But if he's trying to say the President is ticked because of the outragous lies that have been said by the talking heads and the outrageous leaks from the CIA??
I'd be angry also

This pimple on America's backside has a long history of America bashing and
is a "darling" of America hating liberal leftist
One of his speaking engagements;
On July 8, Seymour Hersh addressed the ACLU's 2004 Membership Conference.
