Senator Saxby Chambliss was on Fox & friends this morning questioning why Richard Clarke-Kent's testimony before the Intelligence committee differed so much from his book.

The 911 Panel member Lehman also brought it up during his questioning of Clarke-Kent's credibility.

[mewzilla]

Who was the committee moron waving around a copy of Clarke's book this morning? And was anyone seen waving a copy of Richard Miniter's?

[Jewels1091]

I used to think Armitage was over weight, then I found out he is a power lifter, and still to this day lifts and from what I remember he lifts well over 400 POUNDS!!!!!!!

[areafiftyone]

We could mail him Rice

Yes Uncle BENedict's Rice

[LisaFab]

It seems that way to me :-)

When asked if he read Clarke's book Armitage said:

"I'm the only honest person in this room--I gave it the 'Washington read'." Went on to explain that means you scan the index for your own name and only read the pages on you.

[mombonn]

LOL - Armitage says he's the only honest person in Washington when asked if he'd read Clarke's book.

Said he looked at the index to see if he was included, and if so, what was said about him.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Clarke's credibility was absolutely shredded today.

They had to take a break just to shovel Clarke's crumbled pile of credibility out the door.

[LisaFab]

I'm on MSNBC.

[cyncooper]

tomorrow they will do a poll of the confidence people have with Bush regardin ghis ability to deal with terrorism. It has been at 60% steady, the poll will drop into the 30% range.

LOL

Jot down my name and do me a favor and ping me when this poll comes out. I do not expect to be hearing from you.

I'm going to mail him a clipping from a box of Uncle Ben "Veniste" rice!!!!!

[Carolinamom]

Thanks. I also found it on CNN.

[prairiebreeze]

No kidding. I didn't know that. How's Armitage doing? I've had to take a break.....

[mewzilla]

Well, I read (the cover-to-cover variety read) Miniter's book, which mentions Clarke quite a bit. Clarke's got some more 'splainin' to do...

[Jewels1091]

He is right...he is very honest and says what he thinks.

[freeperfromnj]

Clarke's credibility was absolutely shredded today.

We all know that, but the majority of Americans weren't watching or following this closely. They will get a recap on the local newscast tonight. This is a sample of headlines that are hitting now:

Former Official Clarke Warned of 'Hundreds Dead'

Terrorism Fight `Not an Urgent Issue' After Bush Took Office, Clarke Says

Clarke: Urgency was lacking

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

He had to listen to the whining about why is Conddi not here.

He is giving some good answers.

[eyespysomething]

WHAT'S HE SAYING???? (Armitage)

[FRgal4u]

Oh yea, how about you yourself get a dose of reality.

have you seen the daily tracking poll from rasmussen? If this forum is reporting on good news on one side then no one would ever see the obvious disaster unfolding.

[Howlin]

Well, evidently he's not going to explain anything.

Looks like he's getting away with it.

[Guenevere]

#2311...Ya know I needed that hug today :)

Aren't these interrogators unreal...

..totally evil!!!!!
