Musings From My Quiet Porch: Swatting at flies to satisfy the Bob Kerreys of this nation

The American sheeple equate being condescending and mean with being a smart bureaucrat and wrongly so. I didn't think 9-11 was anything to smirk about but I sure saw a lot of smirks, INCLUDING JAMIE GORELICK. She even looked away when Condi was talking which was VERY RUDE. I guess I'm a Republican because democrats are from another planet.

Did you notice that the dems were shilling for Woodword's new book today? SHILLING in the form of an interrogation.

The way I see it these women that attend the commission meetings are not accepting a settlement and are looking for information to sue. To sue they need to place blame. It is getting harder and harder to feel sympathy for people that are greedy. I had to turn off Hardball because they were coming on next and I didn't think I could handle it.

… but it is not the fault of the Clinton administration, per se. Why? … Because, as Dr. Rice admirably pointed out, our pre-9/11 domestic bureaucracy prevented adequate cooperation between FBI, CIA, and local law enforcement.

Maybe so, but Clinton missed the opportunity to take Osama out when he had the chance. Funny how Bob Kerry was getting mad at Condi today, when it was him who said, "The most important thing the Clinton administration could have done would have been for the president, either himself or by going to Congress, asking for a congressional declaration to declare war on al-Qaida, a military-political organization that had declared war on us."

Bob Kerrey's seizing upon the 'swatting flies' comment was most telling ... her comment was clearly regarding the president's desire to no longer play the tit-for-tat game of the previous administration, to switch to a preemptive deterrence mode. But so many will miss the sleazy Kerrey effort to twist what the president said and Dr. Rice related. It was clear from the outset that the democrat partisan hacks packing the committee were on a separate agenda from what the proclaimed mission of that body was stated to be. I smell the clinton-MacCauliffe filth under the scum coating the surface of the partisan efforts.

Bump!

Very well done..Thanks for pointing me this way....Wrote a piece a few years back entitled "Some days you step in it, Some days you don't." Kerry stepped in it today.

I loved it when Rice answered his misnaming her with "we don't even look alike!" She could have just corrected him. The fact that he confused gender/race made the intelligence variation between the two of them obvious. Rice has such a mind for detail, organizational fact, listening skills etc....and Kerrey didn't even know with whom he was speaking..

[MHGinTN]

Oh mama, he knew full well with whom he was exchanging. His job was to try and fluster her since BenVeniste had failed to do so. He made of himself a large squishy bluefly, to be slapped out of existence. His rude actions --rubbing his semi-bare head, scoffing, smirking incredulously, then snatching at the 'swatting' comment-- proved once again that the dnc is thoroughly rancid and in need of tossing out!

I sent CM an e-mail today that said. Chris, If you want to know why I stopped watching you it is because if I wanted to know your opinion I would go on the DNC website myself.

Pray for W and The Truth

[MHGinTN]

Ever gotten a reply to an e-mail sent to the networks?

[hoosiermama]

Guess I forgot the ;^) on the end of that one....Actually not calling a person by their rightful name is an "invalidation" technique employed to keep people "in their place".



Condi certainly put him in his....AS President Bush did the other day to the guy from AP who didn't address him correctly.

We certainly agree on the smell of the liberals.

I delineated the serious, committed adults from the self-hating, destructive, very dangerous clowns.

ping to a bit about swatting flies

ping-ka-ching (Bob Kerrey deserves to be written of as 'Bob Kerry', dont' you think?)

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

Actually not calling a person by their rightful name is an "invalidation" technique employed to keep people "in their place".

I couldn't figure out why Kerrey kept calling Condi Rice "Mr. Clarke". He did it at least a half-a-dozen times. I'm not up on all of the Dems' slimy techniques. I'm sure it was a set-up job - something they discussed and planned beforehand. Actually, the Dems' whole performance looked like a skit you'd see on Saturday Night Live.

[Ditter]

I knew that the 'swatting at flies" remark was about clinton "hitting a camel in the butt & knocking down a $10. tent" in his sorry effort to distract everyone from Monica. I wish Dr. Rice, when she was questioned by Kerrey, would have told him "it was clinton who swatted at flies". George Bush prefers to do things the right way.

[MHGinTN]

That was perhaps what Kerrey, et al were hoping for, so the dnc could then jump on Bush and his administration for 'passing the buck, blaming sinkEmperor clinton'. It was a set up from the get go, as proven with Kerrey's little game of calling Dr. Rice, 'Dr. Clarke'. He didn't succeed because she is smarter than the entire dnc rolled into one stinking pile.

The saddest part of their antics is what I call the "Baby with the bathwater" syndrome - I've heard several people remark that they "have zero sympathy for the survivors anymore". That's unfortunate. These broads with their agenda are besmirching the character of anyone who lost someone on 9/11.
I hope for a blowback on them.......
