Wallace asked her if she had "replaced" Cheney as the President's top foreign policy advisor, and she answered that, "I am the Secretary of State." Hillaryous!

Wallace is my Dumb A$$ Player of the Week.

Every week I'll post a new one, with the quote that earned them the Dumb A$$ award.

[pollyannaish]

Wasn't that funny?

Howard Dean is such a.....(redacted).

Just watched Condi spank wallace a good one. She dug her heels in so far he will go home a wounded and bleeding excuse for a man.

I have little doubt now that Wallace is indeed on the dark side. He got the evil eye from Condi when she had to explain (for the 1,000th time) how the world is far better off with Sadaam gone.(Wallace looked like a fourth grader getting a lesson with the teacher inferring "why didn't you do your homework little chrissy) she did it in no uncertain terms and Wallace knew he had bitten off more than he could chew and was up against a superior force.

And when he accused her of taking cheney's place you could see the dagger she saves for special moments entering his heart as he quickly said "we are almost out of time", needing to get medical attention "real quick".

Wallace is now a has been as far as I am concerned.

He [Dean] said we should be concentrating all of our energies -- "full scale" -- on capturing or killing Osama bin Laden; "Then," Dean continued, "we need to fight the terrorists who blew up the World Trade Center."

Here is the fatal flaw in the dems thinking (if thinking is what you can call this). Imagine if we concentrated "all of our energies" on just this one thing...capturing bin Ladin. Think about the monumental stupidity of that statement.

But the really critical fallacy that he, and all of the rest of the dems fall into, is that, in their view, we are only allowed to go after a group that successfully pulls off a huge attack right here in this country. It's hands off all the rest, no matter what we know or suspect they are planning and plotting. It's their equivalent of the "global test".

That's why we hear the constant drumbeat that Iraq was not tied to 9/11 and wasn't even helping al Qaeda (which is false). That point is apropos of nothing. It's irrelevant, unless they actually mean that we cannot react against any group or nation unless and until we take a hit right here, and then only actions against that PARTICULAR group or that PARTICULAR nation will be allowed. The dems would fight a very limited war on terror indeed.

And, while I'm on my soapbox here, I never want to hear that stupid question "Are we safe" ever again. We are not a nation of kindergarten children. I want the President and the government to DEFEND this country, not wrap it in cotton. Go out there and smash the bad guys until they are dead or cry uncle. If there is peril in that, I am more than willing to accept it. God bless our military and the President of the United States of America.

Ironically, the power player does happen to be a friend of one of our freepers, it was mentioned earlier on the thread.

[rodguy911]

I like change too, as long as the change is the rats are defeated and we win.

[defconw]

My sense is she had to really control herself, or she would have laughed at Chris. It is a well known fact, at least amongst us Bushbots, that Condi, Cheney and W are thick as blood and the THREE of them are on the same page. Rummy as well, that's why Colin and Dick had to go, they were not in that circle.

[YaYa123]

You really want your blood to boil, read today's CNN RELIABLE SOURCES transcript here:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0609/10/rs.01.html

Howie Kurtz is in full bash Bush mode, along with his guests, Linda Douglas, David Gergen, Bill Press, and Bill Cohen. The only thing that kept RS from being a full anti-Bush hour, was the time they had to spend on Katie Curok's debut where, "Rush fell flat" by the way.

Re post 852, it depends on what you mean by "served" when you speak of Kerry serving in VN. Dubya passed around a big tray of turkey in Bagdad, but it was the show bird and not for eating, and it was in the Green Zone or other safe space, he didn't walk down the Main Street of Bagdad like moron Peanut Farmer Jimmuh on the below zero Inauguration day begging for someone to zero in on him, etc. So the DBM said Dubya didn't do jack except set up a photo-op. So maybe Kerry "served" and maybe he didn't. He was in Cambodia for Christmas so it is doubtful that he had any turkey, except the one in the mirror...

He pressed Madam Albut on the failure of the missile attack on the meeting, he wanted to know who had tipped off Osama. She said she didn't, she just sent General Ralston to let the Paks know it wasn't an Indian warhead. Regional politics and all that.

The Clinton/DNC/Al Qaeda talking points on this to defend mad Maddy is that SHE never told the Pakistanis, but some "evil" US military type did.

I guess your summary of what was presented pretty much trashes that defense.  Do you suppose that will get mentioned by the DBM?

Not if we don't bomb them with the fact, it won't. 

[rodguy911]

I heard Rush's monologue on the perky one's new show and it sounded O.K. to me.

[defconw]

My favorite part, Brit, Mara, Bill and Juan. Pass the popcorn.

[rodguy911]

I'm hoping snugs did not go to be yet,(its after midnight in the UK) she just saw part I and I asked her if it seemed edited, no reply yet.

[Bahbah]

Wallace is my Dumb A$$ Player of the Week.

I'll second that, and I will look forward to this delightful weekly feature.

[defconw]

Juan, Juan, Juan. You don't know what most Americans think, you just think we all think like you. Please!

[defconw]

I like Brit's haircut.

[eeevil conservative]

dagnabbit!

doing some important witnessing right now... missed it...

what did Juan do now?

[defconw]

Did you catch the book, Brit mentioned?

[defconw]

Nothing major, he just thinks we are not any safer now. What an idiot! If nothing else we are all FAR more aware of terrorism, then we were 5 years ago.

[eeevil conservative]

what an ass...

not only are we aware....but the terrorist are not running around UNservalienced, and UNwatched, and UNknown, and UNchallenged.... as opposed to UN (United Nations) servalienced, UN watched, and UN known, and UN ABETTED!
