All too true snugs, however I love the grace the President showed when referring to that half-wit teacher in Colorado.
The following remarks by President Bush were made in Washington on Friday, March 10, 2006, before the National Newspaper Association's Government Affairs Conference.
Q I'm from Aurora, Colorado. In our town a teacher was suspended for remarks critical of your State of the Union message, made the talk shows, et cetera -- compared you to Hitler and -- actually, I've heard the tape and he didn't, he said, "Hitler-esque," but it's not --
THE PRESIDENT: He's not the only one. (Laughter.)
Q And it's not the content that my question is about. My question is about your sense of the free speech right in the classroom or in public to criticize you without being considered unpatriotic.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I think people should be allowed to criticize me all they want, and they do. (Laughter.) Now what are you all laughing at over there? (Laughter.) Don't cheer him on. (Laughter.)

I once had a higher level of tolerance for Russert too, and explain why in post 326. I'm curious if your reasons are the same as mine.
"The disrespect that the Pubbies have shown President Bush recently is second only to the Dems."
I'm not sure I agree! I might give first place to the Reps., since we expect this nonsense from the Dems. And speaking of "adults in charge," it was nice to see exactly that during this morning's Fox panel discussion regarding Congress' behavior on the port deal.
Sure, but if you think overturning Roe will be the end to abortion in this country you are sadly mistaken. Roe merely nationalized the issue. Overturning it would merely return it to where it belongs, with each individual state.
Howard Fineman, Kelly O'Donnell, Clarence Page and Kathleen Parker discuss the Republicans' game plan for the 2008 election, the ports deal bill, and Mormonism.
GAK!
You're right, samantha. Several GOP officeholders have been ugly to him too.
I don't watch Greta, but she shoun't be talking about politics and doing interviews with the Clintons because, her sister is a senate dem.candidate for Maryland.
Or, as Rush puts it, it doesn't advance their action line.
Thanks Mo1. Good to get back on topic.
Yep. I agree with your 326. Back in the days when he would have Rush on as a regular annual guest on his weekend CNBC nightly show (reminded me of a fatter Charlie Rose without the disheveled hair and crooked tie), he seemed more "fair and balanced" as it were
Yep to Buchwald. (Did he recently undergo a leg amputation?)
Take it to another thread. You're off topic.
Speaking of one of Hillary's old buddies:
Hillary Guru Plans Database to Rival DNC; Soros Financed ('Data Mining' Stirs Intraparty Battle)

HILLARY GURU PLANS DATABASE TO RIVAL DNC; SOROS FINANCED
Tue Mar 07 2006 20:38:16 ET
A group of well-connected Democrats led by a former top aide to Bill and Hillary Clinton is raising millions of dollars to start a private firm -- that plans to compile huge amounts of data on Americans to identify Democratic voters.
The effort by Harold Ickes, a deputy chief of staff in the Clinton White House and an adviser to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., is prompting intense behind-the-scenes debate in Democratic circles, the WASHINGTON POST is planning to report on Wednesday.
Officials at the Democratic National Committee think that creating a modern database is their job, and say that a competing for-profit entity could divert energy and money that should instead be invested with the national party.
Ickes and others involved in the effort acknowledge that their activities are a vote of no confidence in the DNC under Chairman Howard Dean.
The venture is being backed by financier George Soros.

The Shadow Party: Part II Continued 3
By David Horowitz and Richard Poe

Launched November 5, 2003
Harold McEwan Ickes keeps a low profile. However, as the Shadow Party’s unofficial chief executive, his growing power is obvious to Washington insiders. “[H]e is the most important person in the Democratic Party today,” outside the official Kerry campaign, says Democrat strategist Howard Wolfson.[1]
Like most Shadow Party leaders, Ickes rose from the New Left. A Freedom Rider in the civil rights movement of the early 1960s, Ickes subsequently traveled to the Dominican Republic, where he involved himself in a coup attempt by a junta of leftwing colonels in 1965.[2] He worked on the 1968 Eugene McCarthy campaign and the 1972 George McGovern campaign. Ickes met Bill Clinton in 1972, while both were working on Operation Pursestrings, a grassroots lobbying effort aimed at cutting off aid to South Vietnam. Ickes later spent fourteen years as a partner in the Mineola, Long Island law firm Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein, notorious for the long list of violent, mob-run labor unions it has represented.[3]
Ickes left the firm to join the Clinton White House as deputy chief of staff from January 1994 through January 1997. One of his key duties in the White House was suppressing Clinton scandals and defusing federal investigations. “Whenever there was something that [Bill Clinton] thought required ruthlessness or vengeance or sharp elbows and sharp knees or, frankly, skulduggery, he would give it to Harold,” former Clinton advisor Dick Morris told Vanity Fair.[4]
Ickes’ true loyalty is to Hillary, however. The Boston Globe called him “a special favorite of the president's wife.”[5] During his stint at the White House, Ickes headed a secret unit for Hillary, dedicated to suppressing Clinton scandals. It operated, in effect, as a Counsel’s office within the White House Counsel’s office. In his book The Seduction of Hillary Rodham, David Brock refers to Ickes’ special unit as the “Shadow Counsel’s Office.”[6] Its operatives included Mark Fabiani, Chris Lehane, Jane Sherburne and perhaps others. Ickes reported directly to Hillary Clinton on all matters related to the work of this special unit. In time, Ickes would graduate from running Hillary’s Shadow Counsel’s Office to running an entire Shadow Party.
Hillary recruited Ickes as chief campaign advisor for her 2000 Senate run. According to Ickes, he accepted the job after a four-hour meeting with Hillary on February 12, 1999 -- the same day that the U.S. Senate voted on Bill Clinton's impeachment. “I’m really doing this out of my friendship for Hillary, pure and simple,” Ickes told the Associated Press on June 17, 1999. “She called and there was no way I was going to say no to Hillary.” [7]... </snip>
