Capital and WH being evacuated.."full running evac"

[jennyjenny]

Obviously, this was President Bush's fault!

Not only is it his fault, but why the hell is he on a bike ride, hmmmmmm????

[Stentor]

"EXTERMINATE!"

If you're a fan, the new Dr Who series is pretty entertaining. I have "obtained" the first 7 episodes.

I think Padme gets sad in the next movie at least according Leia in Return of the Jedi.

[Sacajaweau]

It's a threat if it's carrying a suitcase nuke or bios.

[No Blue States]

A small cessna is no more of a threat than a U-Haul.

What if the cargo is a suitcase nuke?

[Nexus]

Some actually hope nothing bad is happening but most are on that "Bush did this for political points" garbage...are these morons truly for real?

You have to wonder who they would blame for this kind of stuff, if god forbid a Dem get elected POTUS in 2008. Would they blame the Pentagon?

[Miss Behave]

Heh heh.

[American Quilter]

Democrats will do anythng to not vote on Bolton or Judges.

LOL! (now that I know the danger's past). Glad this didn't happen tomorrow--the committee would have used it as an excuse to further delay their vote.

[Ramius]

Im sorry, but I think this was an over-reaction. A small cessna is no more of a threat than a U-Haul. Where it is a greater threat (NBC attack), evacuating buildings and running around outside is pointless, and perhaps a more dangerous place to be.

I don't think there is always the luxury of knowing immediately what sort of aircraft it might be. That's something that you find out some precious minutes later, and people need to start evac immediately.

Years ago I took lessons but ran out of money before I soloed. Cessna 150.

Not much more than a lawnmower with wings.

Pretty cool though.

[xp38]

He likes to listen to his ipod.

[white trash redneck]

needs to do some hard time

I'd shoot him down and make an object lesson of him.

Of course, I guess that's why they don't have me in charge of Homeland Security.

[pnz1]

I heard that. What do they want, the little shuttle golf carts like they have at the airport?

[OXENinFLA]

Use that live link from WLS.

[yellowdoghunter]

Lautenberg complaining that a fat woman couldn't run. There has to be a better way, he says.

You have got to be kiddin' me? Unbelievable.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

---Let's see what the pilot's name is.

I.M. Scrood.

I suspect it's more like I. Scrood Maself

If you're a fan, the new Dr Who series is pretty entertaining. I have "obtained" the first 7 episodes.

As have I. I suppose the operative quote from the Dalek episode is "LEVITATE" instead of "EXTERMINATE."

[ClancyJ]

I will bet there will be fat people that cannot run when a real bomb hits too.

Guess they will outlaw any threat that makes it too hard for fat people or any threat making them have to run more than 200 yds.

Our congress at work for us.

[Not A Snowbird]

Lautenberg complaining that a fat woman couldn't run. There has to be a better way, he says.

And what would he suggest? Building people movers between the capitol and Union Station? (/sarcasm)

[TheBigB]

Like Lautenberg cares. All he does is climb back into his coffin.
