Brit Hume:
Hillary is a perfect example of what's happened. She's not getting a pass from the dem party. She has to get right with the dem base.
Why does every mention of Hillary Clinton's email mention that is was a sixteen hundred word document? Could not one commentator say "long" or "lengthy" or "3-page", etc?
Is it a coincidence that the Commander in Chief lives at 1600 Pa ave -- also the previous address of Ms Clinton?
Am I wearing too much tinfoil?
Agreed, but I laugh every time another newspaper has to admit losing readers or laying people off. Or, every time I read the stats for programs on radio and TV. The left is losing and they are not happy campers these days. Life is tough when everything you stand for is failing.

Tim does ask about Able Danger, quoting Freeh. [Give Time an 'atta-boy' for that.]
Kean: We did look at Able Danger and didn't see anything significant. We requested all the documents and reviewed all the documents.
[That is contradictory to what the actual A D witnesses said. That is contradictory to what Hammilton and Kean said when A D first came to light -- they said they didn't know anything about it. Kean is spinning. Gorelick was the only one who got A D info and she prevented the other committee members from getting that info.]
Hey, Tim, do you think maybe it was the salting of the panel with Clintonistas?? Sheesh, its a good thing most Americans are gearing up for football, and not listening to this cavalcade of America Last cheerleaders...
I too am gearing up, my wife and I have tickets for the Redskins at Rams this afternoon. But I had to get some political licks in first! Go Skins!
Why do idiots in the MSM and Libtards still try to connect Saddam and 9/11?
What have they being doing with our soliders?
John Kerry has to be the winner of the "Howard Dean: The Gift that Keeps on Giving Award" for 2005.
I think mine is going down but not for that reason - just old age.
It caused a serious windows error this morning
Oh, thank God. The Omission Commission goes out of business Dec. 31st. Praise the Lord.
Thanks!!! Can't wait to see it....
"We" is a very flexible term when it is used by any 9/11 panelist.
More via the Wash Times ...
The findings differ markedly from a survey carried out by the British Broadcasting Corp. in March 2004, in which the overwhelming consensus among the 2,500 Iraqis questioned was that life was good and more of them supported rather than opposed the war.
The Sunday Telegraph published the results one day after the resignation of the British commanding officer in the Basra region was made public.
Lt. Col. Nick Henderson resigned from the British army after voicing concerns over a lack of armored vehicles for his men.
The secret poll appears to contradict claims made by Gen. Mike Jackson, chief of the general staff, who only days ago congratulated British soldiers for "supporting the Iraqi people in building a new and better Iraq."

Russert: Reading former FBI Director Freeh's letter in the Wall Street Journal regarding Able Danger. Why did 9/11 Commission ignore this and determine information was not historically significant?
Hamilton: We loooked at AD very cafefully and we don't think there was anything there of significance. Something could come out in the future. Freeh had no new evidence. We requested all the documents related to AD and we reviwed the documents. We had investigators meet with AD people and the bottom line is that they provided no documentary evidence to support their charges.
Russert: Weldon says they gave the chart to National Security advisory Hadley.
Hailmilton: And Hadley says that isn't true. We just need evidence to support the charges. We don't accuse anyone here of bad intentions. Mr. Freeh's article didn't bring forward any new evidence. We concluded the information wasn't valid.
Kean: No evidence to back it up. The White House denies it. The Pentagon denies it. If this is true, it's a monstrous conspiracy.
Russert: You found there was no connection between AQ and Iraq and no evidence they worked to attack the US.
Kean: That's correct. (WHAT BS. LOTS OF EVIDENCE BETWEEN IRAQ AND AQ BUT NONE THEY WORKED TOGETHER TO ATTACK THE US SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ANSWER).
Russert: If one year from now we have the exact same report, no progress on recommendations, what will you say.
Hamilton: We believe another attack will occur and we'll be disappointed if no progress has been made on recommendations.
Russert: Who has to grab hold of this? Is it the President?
Kean: The president and the Congress.
Russert: When are you going out of Business.
Kean: December 21 (or 23rd). I missed the date.
Tim just read the entire long "Able Danger" quote from his interview with Louis Freeh.....
Hamilton & Keane tag teamed their cover story:
"we looked at able danger very carefully"
"we haven't seen the chart"
"we had 50-60 people come forward to say they saw Atta here or there"
"we, the commission staff, saw no evidence to support that"
Tim must have thought, "oh, OK, let's move on" because he followed up by asking the probing question
"and your son is thinking about running for office? thanks so much for being here!"
This is why you're such a great resource for us here. Most people don't know who or what to believe when it comes from the UK. Thanks!
