The scene was one of a woman in charge.

Did the AP forget that Hillary was in northern Virginia when all this happened?

Looking Presidential = Taking advantage of a photo-op.

Glen Johnson’s AP piece is so much of a suck up that even Mr. Oreck would be impressed. I’d post it but I would have to pluck out my eyes afterward.

So this will be played as Hillary’s 911? After all, what other crisis has she had a chance to display leadership in?

Thank GOD she wasn’t reading “My Pet Goat” to elementary school children when this happened!
Can you just imagine the hue and cry from the left?

(I can’t, either)

These people are utterly pathetic. Did they listen to a WORD she said? Her whole speech was about how she listen to them. They are the professionals, she followed their lead.

That could NOT of been any less Presidential if she had tried. The impression people got from this was that she was by stander sitting in the wings while the police did their jobs.

Amen.

But Bush was a coward on 9-11 because he was reading to children when it happened and did not want to alarm them.

Liberals see politics in everything.

The people demand 2 things. What did Hillary know? and when did she know it? Let’s appoint an 11/30 Commission.

the Clinton campaign decided this makes Hillary look presidential, at least to Larry Sabato and the AP:

Then that almost makes them look complicit.

Yep, the public relations baloney has just begun for Hillary. Rudy dubbed himself a hero for "being there" on 911 and Hillary will dub herself a heroine for "being there" yesterday.

Those two deserve eachother.

As someone said last night:

“REICHSTAG”

And then, we have the sycophants at Daily KOS utterly gushing over her “Leadership” of the situation...
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/11/30/2267/4179

Utter, and complete idiots.
Last-Stage Bush Derangement Syndrome is a real Biatch...

Like the Venezueleans have found out, they should be careful, lest they get EXACTLY what they have been hoping for...

Ever hear of .. "What's wrong with this picture?" .. ??

I heard the report on the radio .. first with Rush .. later with Hannity ... and I was curious about the event ... it was surreal.

Then, later in the night ... the whole thing came to an end and I saw ..

a guy in a white shirt and tie (and it looked like it was still slid up to the buttoned collar ... ) hmmmm

When the bwitch was being 'interviewed', all I could think of was President Bush delivering his first notice to the country about 9/11.

(Not a quote, but as I understood the words ..)

The people who know these things and know what to do are in charge (I have trusted intel)

I stopped listening at that point ...

I think the CWM (Clinton war machine) got a useful idiot and orchestrated this entire 'event'.

I predict it will all disappear in a week, but the thought of HILLARY ! being (once again) a victim, and overcoming .. will have been planted in just a few more wavering minds.

Remember ... INCREMENTALISM is the mantra and modus operandi of all enemies to America.

That's what I was thinking too.

I wonder if they will investigate EXACTLY what she did for 2 minutes after finding out about he hostage taking and declare she was negligent for not IMMEDIATELY making some strong sounding blabbering statement. ...... I won't hold my breath.
