I thought it was a simple throw away line to make a point, "anyone know if the lights are on in the WH"...a metaphor if you will. Didn't get me all fluxed.

yeeaahhhh, you must have thought that the line was a real "gem" since you posted it twice

Well, you don't have to get snippy about it!

I wasn't going to answer, but "lights blazing at the White House" has long been a journalistic cue that big news was about to break. CNN's initial report on Saddam's capture included shots of the White House (all lights blazing) as an indication that the place was unusually active for such early hours.

If a story is breaking, WH officials would be called in. They'll be working to get confirmation AND/OR deciding who's going to make official announcements, etc. So it's not a stupid question.

Go to Mothers and have a big breakfast!

Hilferty said only that there was an "overall sense of confidence that things are getting better...."

Bingo.

Is it possible that Kerry is already getting security briefings? Because last night a story appeared where he impled that capturing bin Ladin wasn't a big deal:

Great catch.

The Iranian source can't be called wrong as it says the capture won't be announced for months.I hate this..it's essentially the same rumor trotted out again.

I doubt a reporter is surfing fr.com right now

They do watch the wire and other news services. Some page them. I do imagine at least a few media phones have been busy trying to confirm or deny this.

”The capture of Bin laden has been made sometime before, but President Bush intends to announce the news when the American presidential elections are under way," the radio said.
