Thanks for your intelligence report on the Domestic ENEMIES.

[Savage Beast]

Talk about the pot and the kettle!

I,who consider Ann a flamethower,am reading the book and appreciating her capacity to portray the lefts' words,actions ,decisions and rhetoric and Results of same.I laughed out loud in an waiting room while reading and waiting!

Crew Scouric. I like it when her face turns inside out. Wish I could get a live interview by the little tart.

[Sam Cree]

It's kind of amazing to me how the national media increasingly is dropping any pretense of impartiality. Meanwhile, Democrats and liberals continue to demand that those who dissent be silenced.

I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.

[KCmark]

I have seen this several times. But I don't remember what the Republicans were saying during this period. Do you remember?

[trebb]

I hear a lot of people tuned in for her live colonscopy - I guess that both ends spew the same sh** and the same people find hers interesting...

I don't recall any specifics. I know they supported Operation Desert Fox when Clinton launched a three-day air attack on Saddam.

[banjo joe]

how she feels about the numerous allegations that clintoon raped several women?

She'd like it. Like it rough and mew like a sheep.

[an amused spectator]

how she feels about the numerous allegations that clintoon raped several women

I'm sure she always wanted Bill OR Hillary to feel her. Rich people like Katie seem to be attracted to the Newyarkansas trailer trash.

Could you just imagine Couric looking solemnly into the camera and telling her sucker-mom morning audience that "President Clinton engaged in a pattern of deception"?

When pigs and Teddy Kennedy fly.

Katie Couric would have attacked the Normandy invasion as unjustified if she'd been around in 1944.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on that. We were saving the French, after all ;-)

[WorkingClassFilth]

Reading statements like those of Ms. Couric make me realize the long-term wisdom in a good supply of rubber truncheons and political prisons.

Just joking, Katie dear.

[Born Conservative]

Kennedy obligingly stated that "the buck stops in White House.

Get ready for this phrase to be repeated by the Democrats; I already saw it quoted by (Little) Dick Gephart; must be in the latest edition of Democratic Talking Points.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

But for Katie, it's already time to be darkly musing that President Bush is engaging in "a pattern of deception."

Apparently "pattern of deception" is a new Dem talking point.

From The Wall St. Journal's Best of the Web Today:

Do We Detect a Pattern Here?

"Several candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination spoke out yesterday. Rep. Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) said Bush's 'factual lapse' cannot be easily dismissed 'as an intelligence failure.' He said the president 'has a pattern of using excessive language in his speeches and off-the-cuff remarks' which 'represents a failure of presidential leadership.' "--Associated Press

"Amid questions about the president's justification for war against Iraq, [John Kerry] the Massachusetts senator [who by the way served in jail] plans to question Bush's credibility next week by citing a pattern of deception on national security and domestic issues, aides said."--Associated Press

"What troubles me is not that single episode, but the broader pattern of dishonesty and delusion that helped get us into the Iraq mess."--Nicholas Kristof, New York Times

"The case of the bogus uranium purchases wasn't an isolated instance. It was part of a broad pattern of politicized, corrupted intelligence."--former Enron adviser Paul Krugman, New York Times

"I think the American people are aware this administration has engaged in a pattern of deceit."--Dennis Kucinich

[ladyinred]

I am with you. I try to watch it, but find myself so enraged at this that I have to turn it off. I wait and read it here so I can keep up, but if I have to see and hear, I just go ballistic!

[Political Junkie Too]

Paging Dick Gephardt! Paging Dick Gephardt! Your master is calling!

6) Dick Gephardt’s impugning of President Bush by using “what did he know and when did he know it” language was Katie Couric’s fault. Morton Kondracke reported Monday night on FNC that “the Gephardt people” are blaming his rhetoric on his simply mimicking what he heard Couric proclaim that morning on NBC’s Today.
