Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me.

It isn't every day

good fortune comes me way!

I never thought the future would be fun for me!

And if I had a bugle

I would blow it to add a sort

o' how's your father's touch.

But since I left me bugle at home

I simply have to say

Thank you very, very, very much!

Thank you very, very, very much!

Thank you for your donation!

But the truth is, it shouldn't have been necessary at all.

Yeah, we should demand that Bush and his administration be perfect all the time. After all, what else do they have to do......besides fight a war on terrorism, make sure the homeland is safe, worry about the economy, try to do something about the festering sore of Africa, and navigate the minefield the europeans are laying for him. They should have known how important those 16 words are to the future of the world.

Sheesh, I love Fred Barnes but he's being downright silly on this.

Bumping for a read tomorrow. Thanks.

Thanks for the post, Pokey!

FWIW, the offensive has begun. Mary Matalin was on the interview portion of Special Report today, and she did a fine job.

Thanks for the ping, JH2. Good to see you, again!;o)

Blood in the water is an apt description. The press and the Dirtycrats are so erect and exctited at this point, they are actually discussing Impeachment.

Terry Moran of ABC and Andrea Mitchell of NBC,only used the foot note that an alternative agency thought the sale had low probablity, in their nightly news hit pieces.Nothing about the 5 agencies supporting the British/Bush position.Moran and Mitchell basically said that Bush lied.Talk about being deceptive.If Fox News ever decides to do a head to head nightly news cast,with Brit as anchor,they would get tremendous support. They could even leave the roundtable segment in place at the end.The Grapevine doesn't cut it,when the President and Republicans are being eviscerated over on the alphabet channels.

Ping for Fred Barnes laying it out and a Robert Joseph clarification:

A second myth about Cheney is that he insisted the sentence about Saddam's effort to buy uranium in Africa be included in the State of the Union. This was the buzz in the Washington press corps last week. It turns out Cheney played no part. Nor did another figure who's been fingered as the author, Robert Joseph of the National Security Council staff. The sentence was written by the president's speechwriters, who accumulated evidence about Saddam and weapons of mass destruction to strengthen the case against him. They used the NIE as their reference document.

Tell me, does ANYONE see the global instruction going on from this incident? There must be a central Socialist directing the attacks on both Blair and Bush, unfortunately Blair is taking more heat. It seems to follow in places where B.J. Clinton had just been.

What you say Senator Clinton?

[veronica]

I'm a FredHead. :) Fred, Krauthammer, Cal Thomas, Steyn. They are the best IMO. And Fred is right. Bush let events get ahead of him, and not for the first time. But he has a very talented political team around him, and he'll recover. He always does.

Thanks Pokey!

Does anyone think that this assault on President Bush on the eve of his trip to Africa wasn't coordinated by the DNC with the complicity of the New York Times?

X-Amb Wilson, friend of Kucinich, Ramsey Clark, etc,
could have written his op-ed which started the feeding frenzy at any time after Jan 28.

The fact that he was published just before the Africa trip has the stink of the DUI revelation just happening to come out three days before the Presidential Election in 2000.

Terri McAuliffe's MO is all over this. I guess pundit/reporters like Fred Barnes must be too close to the action to see the bigger picture.

He (Terri) even gave himself away when he had to drive his Escalade past the Fox DC Bureau studios and crow to Brian Wilson, "He's Gone! He's Gone! We've got him now!" Too bad Brian did not have a camera with him.

So "flinching" is bad and leads to brouhaha. Denial and coverup lead to impeachment. Absent governmental perfection, no administration of earth could pass the test.
