I did not think of it, but I sure agree. It is a stroke of Genius.

[samantha]

Exactly, and some things are not what they appear when you first are involved. People are not either, it is not like you are psychic or read minds.

[samantha]

Short answer is No....

[rodguy911]

Newt has always had that 80/20 thing going, most of the time he makes really good sense but every once in a while he just goes off the wall.

[rodguy911]

You get it! I am hoping enough other pubbies have learned a valuable lesson and won't go boortz or savage on us next time. It's the only thing the rats do right, they stay together through thin and thin all the time.

[CDB]

He'll soon be a FORMER Senator. I hope he gets defeated by such a HUGE margin in his next election, and is so thoroughly discredited that future generations will all say: "Hey, I remember him, the Democrat Senator from the red state of Nebraska. He sure didn't last very long."

What is the quip about ending up in the dustbin of history?

[rodguy911]

The problem with Condi is that she is so smart she realizes all the pitfalls of VP or potus and may not want to deal with it, she is so talented we would be lucky to get her on the ticket.

[Freee-dame]

I just wish for once in my lifetime that they'd drop the saccharine collegiality.

You must have missed the many times that they have called President Bush a liar. I just wish that one time a basher would be asked for his definition of a liar. One is not lying if he is speaking of what he believes to be true. Having false information (weapons of Mass Destruction) is not lying. W's biggest failing IMHO has been in not refuting very damaging accusations.

[BusterBear]

if one of them were smart...they would point out that a lot of the countries that we have to deal with daily, especially regarding the WOT...have cultures that would BALK at negotiating with a country run by a woman..because they don't think women should even have jobs..(some of them). Do they have the guts to say that it COULD compromise our ability to deal effectively on foreign policy??

That would probably produce more of a backlash than it would be worth. Besides, there are too many historical examples that would be cited to the contrary, so the person who said it would come out looking as a cheap shotmeister.

well, nobody is gonna read my post so I can say what I please, but I couldn't disagree with you more about Rush.

I get mad at him from time to time and stop listening for a week or two, but he is so far above all the others, it's not even close.

I did not hear the thing you objected to on his show, and find it a bit hard to believe, but won't argue that.

I will say that if he referred to that distasteful subject, he did so in a less offensive manner than you implied.

[altura]

My daughter has a subscription to Entertainment Weekly!

[Txsleuth]

LOL....gotta love them!!

[hocndoc]

First thing: tell the editor that you were working under (what appears to be) the misunderstanding that she wanted out. That should clear up some of the problem.
Second, call the fashion show coordinator and ask when the meetings begin.
Third, resubmit a *stronger* prolife statement.
Fourth, Stand back.

(You might as well be in trouble for what you do on purpose.)

ROFL

You didn't hear it. Then you say you won't argue that. Then you tell me he didn't say it as I reported it. Make up your mind.

You are one silly Rush fan.

Go find the Thanksgiving Day Rush thread and get your facts straight. I wasn't the only one grossed out by the ignorant subject matter on this solemn Holiday.

[lawdog]

Unfortunately unless Republicans get it together Stalin may be the next president.

[CDB]

Do we have a source for Hellary's infamous "take things away from you quote?

[altura]

That's interesting, MM. I don't recall ever seeing a picture of Hillary where I would call her beautiful.

She might have been attractive at one time, but, I just realized, she was never cute!

Cute has a certain quality that she would despise and could never achieve.

[aligncare]

You are correct about Newt -- once a politician, always a politician. You ask the right questions.

I fault President Bush for representing himself as a conservative while he campaigned; but he governed as a moderate-to-liberal once in office. (His reaction to 9-11 was independent of political ideology. Any American president would have reponded the same way and gone to war -- even Clinton -- god help me for saying that).

[altura]

You are beyond the sea rude.

I simply disagreed about Rush and, having listened to him for lo these many years, I have never heard him be as offensive as the story you told.

Therefore, I reserve the right to doubt that it was exactly as you portrayed it and will continue to do so until proven otherwise.

I thought I was being pretty nice in not accusing you of dissembling.

You just can't be nice to some people.

[Current Occupant]

I got to jump in here.

BTS was exactly correct both in the story and how it was reported. I heard it the first time and on the repeat on Thanksgiving day.

Rush talked about if there was a "Montana Stick" around that would be telling.

FWIW.
