Re: 911 Commission

[Shermy]

Hamilton and Kerrey were said to have left early due to previous appointments;

Yeah, they'd leave this historic moment?

[Hegemony Cricket]

Because it's DC - the crime capitol of the US!

[EllaMinnow]

I'm glad they made the statement, and I'm hoping that I don't see BenVeniste, Gorelick, Kerrey, Roemer, Hamilton, or Kean parking their fat mouths in front of a microphone today.

I doubt if The Widow Breitweiser is satisfied.

[QQQQQ]

Don't you think the "families" deserve a transcript"

==

What the families deserve is to see the terrorists eradicated, so they know that their loved ones didn't die in vain, and President Bush is doing exactly that.

It's looking like there is a requirement for journalists: they must have two-digit IQ-s.

[jimbo123]

Gore-lick is probably on the phone with Billy Blister, Hitlery, Chrissy Matthews and the 9/11 New Jersey Multi-Millionaire Widows right now, plotting their attack strategy.

[bunches]

Dumb, dumb questions to our President are par for the course I'm afraid.

Dubya should have said:

"Yeh, right, sure, we know for sure that there are no members of Al Qaeda in the U.S.! We gathered them all up recently and they are on their way to Disneyland!!!"

Geeeezzzz!

Bunches

[OXENinFLA]

HAHA!!! TDIDS

The Daschle Ethanol amendment to the Internet bill was just deemed non-germaine

[dawn53]

It's Washington DC, the crime capitol of the US, LOL!

[babaloo]

You know that somewhere there is a decent kid thinking about going into journalism and then realizing that you have a better chance of getting face time on the networks if you are a Terry Moran type or like the guy that asked the idiotic question regarding AQ being in the US and deciding it is not worth losing your dignity. Pretty sad.

[OXENinFLA]

At least THE BIRDS kept quite this time.

[MEG33]

The dumbest was"Do you guarantee there are no Al Queda operatives in the US?"

[cyncooper]

I liked the statement, too.

Those reporters were ridiculous: Were you advised to not answer any questions.

Are they serious? Do they REALLY think the administration had a clue the attack was coming and did nothing?

I don't think they really think that, but they are willing to purvey the notion for the sake of partisan smears (the real kind of smear, not the asking Kerry about his Senate voting and him claiming his patriotism is being attacked bogus "smear")

[cyncooper]

And what we deserve is not having this little quartet of angry widows presented as representing all of the "relatives" and "families" of 9/11 victims.

[Nataku X]

What was his response???

[Michael Barnes]

The Delicious Ms. Vester

Oh she's a hottie....

[BlessedByLiberty]

What was extraordinary was that they were dealing with two honest men and had not expected it nor knew how to deal with it.

I hope they also learned exactly how Gorelick's memo effectively hampered US intelligence, how OBL was indeed offered to Clinton, etc.

Maybe someone in the press followed Kerrey/Hamilton when they left the meeting to see with whom they had a meeting more important than meeting with POTUS?

[jimbo123]

Breitwei$er and her fellow NJ Millionaire widow$ will never be satisfied

[kitkat]

Quote from Nancy Pelossi after the conference today (SLIGHTLY paraphased):

"It would have been a better process if the President and Vice President had gone in alone. Instead, they went in hand-in-hand."

The just never quit trying to put Pres. Bush down, do they?

[Integrityrocks]

"Do you guarantee there are no Al Queda operatives in the US?"

BUSH: No. I guarantee that there ARE Al Queda operatives in the US... I'm talking to one of them - YOU! Idiot
