Juan still insisting that the exit polls were right and the actual voting machine counts were wrong.

SNORT!!
I assume "a lot of the people" think that in Juan's world. :o)

[daybreakcoming]

But Chuckie I didn't bring a white flag with me"

LOL good one - bet he is never without it now in assorted sizes.

[Beckwith]

Albright: I said Hussein has WMD, but I never thought he'd use them

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."

Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

Liar, liar, nasty pants on fire!

[chgomac]

Mac Laughlin report on now & Mac saying:

"on 9/11 the US terror list had 16 names, today it has 80,000"

WOW. Even including the dumping of all our criminals onto the list....that is a lot of bad guys & girls!

[OldFriend]

Guess those Kurds gassed by Saddam and the people he gassed in the Iran war were insignificant to the likes of the cleaning lady.

If she didn't think he'd use them.....did she mean use them on people that mattered?

[SuzanneC]

I think it's on the 6pm Wednesday show. Unfortunately, I'll be in the air and will miss it.

Jeff Chandler Tongue-in-Cheek (mostly) Prediction: Not only will Tookie be pardoned, he will be sitting next to Jimmy Carter at the next Democrat Convention!

I've been searching in vain on Cspan for a link to their program on Friday, wherein they asked for active and retired military recently in Iraq to call in with their opinions of the lamestream media coverage on the war. IT WAS SPECTACULAR!! Brian Lamb said they would do it again .. I've written them for a link to that program.

The active and inactive military who called in were 98% in agreement that the media is purposely refusing to show the progress in Iraq.. and the stories these guys and gals told was so heartening about all they've done and are doing to rebuild the the infrastructure and bring some normalcy of life to the Iraqis.

Timmie was specifically chastised for the slanted view on his show .. it was a wonderful testimony to ALL WE KNOW our brave troops are doing, at great sacrifice, to eliminate evil and improve the lives of the Iraqis.

But for 1 or 2, they are so proud to be the instruments of decency, humanity and progress there. GOD BLESS OUR BRAVE, COMPASSIONATE AND GENEROUS TROOPS!!

Have to give Brian credit for doing this finally, and I hope he means it when he says he'll do it again. Maybe some emails from US would help promote the truth getting out from those who know.

I don't understand why he doesn't give his interviews to poeple like Brit Hume?!

The White House still doesn't understand how the game is played.

[snugs]

Thanks I am going to bed a bit earlier anyway as I have to be in at work early - run out of holiday and need to get some hours before the end of the year for various hospital visits of dad.

Will look out for your list and post ribbons tomorrow

[Miss Marple]

Brit Hume will have an interview on Wednesday. NBC is being given an interview because they reach the most people, between the network new, MSNBC, and CNBC. I think maybe YOU don't understand how the game is played.

[Jeff Chandler]

Brit Hume will have an interview on Wednesday.

I did not know that. Mea culpa.

[evad]

What do you make of it? Have they shut Joe down

LOL. They're shutting Joe down as surely as they did with Joe Klein with the Hillary expose. As soon as someone says something of which they do not approve, they're gone.

Yup...that's pretty much my take. I thought maybe we might see him on some talk shows or FOX news but I guess the RATs threatened him on that too.

[Finny]

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears,
A world of hopes, and a world of fears.
There's so much that we share
that it's time we're aware
it's a small world after all!

(Everybody now:)

IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL, IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL ...

(ducking ...)

[snugs]

Thanks I will make sure I watch it

[rodguy911]

That's good. C-span sure has their share of lame shows. I'm glad they did one on the real story of the troops in Iraq, it's for sure the msm will never do it.

[STARWISE]

Do we know how the talkshow lineup dynamic works? Does the show make the decision and contact the "stalkers" or does the DNC or RNC call them and suggest them or do the guests call with their availability and new stalking points?

[stocksthatgoup]

Lindsay Grahm has been bashing the President, The Administration and fellow Republicans for the last 3 years. His only contribution was in defense of Judge Roberts. Other than that he has been a McHagel.

[p23185]

If Lindsey Graham continues to show up on television shows and pretend there was no relationship between Iraq and AQ, I will continue to sing the song that he's either a) a liar; or b) misinformed.

And I for one do not, and will never, agree with Lindsy and his girlfriend "Mad"alene Halfbright on the tortue question. I sincerely hope that President Bush vetoes the defense bill if it contains the McLame amendment. Write your Representative - I think that it still has to get past house(?) Also read this excellent piece The truth about torture

[cake_crumb]

"The problem here I believe is that many times the Vice President has linked Iraq and Al Qaeda and each time the Dems get more demonic on their attack on the administration. It may well be a calculated decision to down play this"

If so, it's a MIS calculated decision. We SHOULDN'T be downplaying it. Saddam supported al Qaeda. In fact, Saddam supported all Arab terrorizst groups. Al Qaeda is an invention of the Saudi royal family in order to export terrorism to Israel, police another of their inventions, the "Arab World" and ensure the supremecy their proudest achievement, the Wahhabi Lobby.

Saddam was INTENSE in his bum kissing of the Saudis and had a CLOSE relationship with the Saudi royal family. Saddam was just another of Saudi's schemes to export terrorism and destroy Israel. He's the one who paid the terrorists homicide bombers.

I was only planning on lurking today **sigh**
