" 'In addition, the guest reported that the "shadow government" has been in place since '91.' "

I thought some version of it was in place before that, as part of our cold war nuclear assault protocol, but maybe I'm just getting old...

Daschle wants to be the next clinton, elected in 2004.

[gaspar]

There are a number of Washington bureaucracies who detail their employees to the Shadow Government facilities on a part time basis. One, which sends employees there for a week's time, tries to chose single men and women so as not to disrupt home lives. If there was ANYONE in Washington ignorant of the government back-up venues I would be amazed. Certainly, the Soviets knew where they were.

[BOBTHENAILER]

We need serious men and women in leadership positions.

One of the best quotes I've seen in the last couple of days, and I forget who, maybe Fred Barnes on Fox News, was this quote: "Where was Daschle's need to question the war, leadership, direction and definition of success during Kosovo, Bosnia and all the other CLINTON operations."?

re: GOP backbone--I'm still waiting to see. I haven't seen anything yet.

.."He KNEW when he tells us he didn't. DASCHLE is a LIAR. Do we need a LIAR in the U.S. Senate in -Time of War...?"...

I was screaming (well, TYPING IN ALL CAPS!) right here on FR when it became apparent that Lott had sold out the American public during the Clinton impeachment process by dealing out the possibility of a REAL trial. He should have been removed as Senate Majority Leader right then and there.

Yes, I wish Senator DanceaLott would have spoken up on Meet the Press and denounced this falsehood. Additionally, every moron knows that the chairmen of the Intelligence Committees have been routinely briefed by the Administration. Daschle is a desperate, despicable liar.

[Mad Dawgg]

hahahaha Can't Wait to watch TOMMY SQUIRM on this one!

[habs4ever]

Daschle is a clear security and his word has no value.I hope Bush treats him accordingly now.

[afraidfortherepublic]

This was revealed on Tim Russert on Sunday when Daschle was whining. I think Trent Lott said, "You were there Tom, at the secret location on 9/11." Daschole replied, "Well, I didn't KNOW I was there."

"We all know the importance of keeping at least a limited backup in the event of catastrophe. People are acting like they cloned all three branches and have them underground signing treasury checks"

You're right. I remember a report not long ago, something like "Bush Administration Reveals Shadow Government!"...as if it was something new. I listened to the thing, and it sounded like it was something invented just prior to 9-11.

Also, just after 9-11, when certain elements started complaining that President Bush stayed on Air Force-1 ( called him "cowardly", if I remember right) I was SHOCKED to discover just how few Americans have any understanding of the original, cold war function of Air Force 1!! NO ONE I SPOKE TO (outside my family) KNEW THAT !! That's scary.

[afraidfortherepublic]

He sat next to Daschle on MTP and let Tom spew his lies and did NOT challenge him one bit, yet Lott was with Tom at the shadow facility! He knew he was lying yet said nothing.

He did challenge Daschole, but not very hard; and Russert did not pick up on it at all or pursue the line of questioning. Trent Lott said something like, "You were there on 9/11. We all were there." And Daschole answered, "Well I didn't KNOW I was there at the time." Then they went on to something else.

[angkor]

Lott: "And as a matter of fact, Tom and I and the other leaders wound up in the place where this shadow government has been rotating in and out. I think that the secretary of the Senate, the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, is aware of what’s been going on there. This is a plan that was put in place back in Eisenhower’s administration."

[Calamari]

wonder if any photo's of his visit to the "bunker" are around or maybe the security camera tape?

[syriacus]

Even if the alphabet networks broadcast this piece of news, the dimwits who watch would just keep staring at the screen, not hearing a word and, instead, pondering a mole on Rather's face.

This sentence is very poetic.

[xzins]

I'd love to have a transcript of that Russert conversation in which he says "I didn't know WHERE I was."

They take you to a functioning hidden alternate government site. YOU are the Majority Leader of the Senate.

You have 2 choices.

1. Sit in a corner, put your head in your hands, and mumble to yourself, "Where am I? What is this?"

2. Go up to someone and say, "Where am I? What is this?"

Would you want to have to defend why you did #1 instead of #2 considering that YOU are a Senator of a State, THE Lead Senator for the Entire Nation, and BECAUSE OF A SECRET DEAL APPARENTLY DASCHLE IS 4TH IN LINE FOR THE PRESIDENCY!!!!

[afraidfortherepublic]

I have been hunting all over the media for a report on the back room deal regarding Pickering and redistricting. Have you found anything?

I saw something about it last night on TV. I think it may have been on CNN (the only news station I can access at the YMCA). Either that, or I saw it on Fox when I got home.
