Right. Your understanding mirrors mine.
WE cannot allow the media to do their thing and hide the facts and the truth.
He did. For every book Woodward has written since 2001. I saw one interview after the last book where it was said a lot of the people didn't want to talk to Woodward and the President told them to do it. In his interview, this morning on FOX, Card said the President encouraged it, but he probably said too much on the record.
OMG!!! What a sad state of affairs!!! But I just heard Rep. jackson lee saying it's all the REPUBLICAN leadership!!
Naturally they can't open their mouths without sounding like children...EVER!!!
Only the respsonsible can be held responsible.This rule requires -- like all Big Rules of the Universe -- considerable extended discussion. In instant case -- Darfoor, Sudan and Kofi and Dubya -- it says why folks go after Dubya for real action. Kofi is, well, honestly -- nigh absolutely irresponsible. And Dubya is, well, honestly -- perhaps one of the most responsible of Presidents we have been blessed to have.
That is so true. It doesn't matter to them who stands in the way.
And we cannot forget its logical corrollary, epitomized by Slick and Kofi:
You cannot shame the shameless.
Speaking of Soros - Neal Cavuto is going to have a 1:1 interview with him on Oct 5 (could be interesting - Neal usually does a good job). I suppose Soros will want to talk about his $50M pledge to fight poverty and AIDS.
Thanks. I've been listening to Bartlett on Late Edition and I heard him on FTN. I understand Woodward will be on LKL tomorrow evening. Everyone is in a full court press.
One is clear to me - Woodward and his publisher know how to hype a book.
Going to be very difficult for the dems to go after him. Most likely they'll ignore him.
It's always someone else's fault.
In this case, there was no way the dems would go after a gay pervert.
Absolutely the culture of the left blame someone else.
No need to do any extra promoting of any book critical of this President or this administration. No doubt the nets and cable shows are begging for Woodward to appear.
Brian Wilson is talking to Hamid Mir in Islamabad and he is saying that the release of this tape with Atta et al. on it is a sign that another attack is pending. That's kinda scary :(
Hey, what's new?
The story on that Franks scandal was never fully told, nor were books really closed at the time -- meaning Franks continues his own personal tyrannies.
It is was text messaging... how would they go about getting the evidence? Just asking... anyone... anyone?
I think you are probably correct.
True what you said about Franks, but there was another Dim from Mass that had relations w a Page and got re-elected - Dims didn't do anything and I suspect they knew about that before it came out, too.
Reposted here from my post 26:
Gerry E. Studds
Democrat, Massachusetts (1973-1996)
The Honorable Gerry Studds, the first openly gay Member of Congress had an affair with a 17-year-old male Page in 1983. He never apologized and was censured by the House of Representatives.
Studds stayed in Congress, and was re-elected time and again by his constituents in Massachusetts.

It was just plain stupid in this vitriolic cutthroat environment, and there's no doubt it hurts W and our election chances. I could just strangle him because he's inadvertenly and stupidly contributed to the momentum of the current piling on.
Folks don't realize how insidious one's image and perception of image is in this bloodthirsty DC game. Woodward pulled off a good one .. he got in their good graces by writing Bush at War and the other book, which were fairly complimentary.
He built up some trust with the Bush team and wrote a book with a novel concept at the time: a positive depiction of W and the team. That made him $$$.
That Card or anyone else at the WH was stupid enough to let down their guard and spilled inside info for the new book (which turns out to be a total departure from the theme of the first two ... now it's an attack), especially about a subject as politically sensitive as Rumseld, shows a stunning level of naivete and stupidity.
Either it's to see his name in a book or to innocently help W, but either way .. I think it was a huge mistake on Card's part. He's just not strong enough to appropriately defend his input now.
And with Woodward .. it's still about the same thing: $$$ and regaining the prestige and image he lost among his DC colleagues for leaving the reservation with the first two.
I bet Woodward didn't get Cheney to comment. And I will look anew at the snippets I hear from the book (I'm not buying it) and note THE FOLKS WHO WOODWARD DIDN'T BAMBOOZLE.
IMO, this is a good thing.
