As I posted on another thread:

White House Says Congress Informed Of Shadow Government Plans

In short, the term "Shadow Government" is an intentional misuse of a loaded term. A "shadow government" would be like much of Clinton's first term where he appointed various people to positions, then gave other people the authority for those positions. THAT is a "shadow government".

At most, this is a "back-up government", with no unusual authority - just an unusual location.

I guess this means that Tom and Dick were not present with the rest of the congress and senate on the capitol steps on 9-11 singing "God Bless America"?

Not these two, they were off busy trying to dig a hole and crawl into it. Shoving and nudging government employee's out of the way so they could get their sorry rears into the bomb shelter. What a couple of maggots. The trauma of the entire affair must have given them amnesia about where they were that day and what they were doing.

HELEN THOMAS - GLAMOUR SHOT?

HE SHOT THEM DOWN.....kept claiming in his soft spoken way "We're confident that when they talk with people on the Hill, they will see that the info. was previously submitted to them" - I'm paraphrasing.

I know I'll get flamed for this but his soft-spoken way drives me nuts. He could be a lot more forceful without being obnoxious. Is it really so difficult to tell the press something like "I suggest you ask Mr. Daschle if he was present along with (fill in the blank) during the tour of the facilities. Perhaps he had a memory lapse"...and then move on to another question?

Sheesh...I'm sick of the press walking all over our guys.

The stupid press kept hammering - "Daschle, Byrd, etc. say they don't know anything
about it" -- Ari would reply with his "I'm sure when they talk to people, etc., etc."

Dubya's spokes-persons, including Ari should not only keep hammering away at the
evidence that Dashcle and his minions knew about the "Shadow Government"
AND
ask the press corps and the country this one question:

"What kind of a Senator Majority Leader waits SIX MONTHS after an attack on the
base of civil authority like September 11...to wonder if there is any plan for
continuity of government, in case a second attack did end the ability to govern from Washington, D.C.?"

A: Only a complete IDIOT or a DESPARATE POLITICIAN.

When the Demorats came out with their little whine that they didn't know anything; my first thought was bs. Believe me, they knew about it and they will be the first to run for the bunkers while we citizens of the US will be out here frying. So now's the time to really decide if you want your rep or senator re-elected or to fry with us.
