Send that all to Chris Wallace! It's late and after the fact, but maybe he can use it on the show, before the interview, as a lead in.
Remember when all of us would spend nights parsing Clinton's speeches? LOL
Liar, liar, pants on fire....
lol, he had 8 years.
Yep. We didn't expect any less from Bubba.
He's prolly a tad annoyed and jealous at this news too: South Korean emerges as favorite to succeed Kofi.
"Means" to an "end".
Hello,
That is what I have been thinking...
:)
Glad to be here, MOgirl
Do you recall my mentioning how quickly he defended trying to get OBL when being interviewed by Viera, even though his answer was not relevant to what was asked? Obviously it's eating at him with the explosive segment on FNS.
And OMG Ski, there's a show running this week that's called 101 Most Unforgetable SNL Moments, and one of them is one of my faves, which is Will Farrell's patriotic, hairy, half-shirted, and very scantily lower-body-clad USA? office skit...and I'll have to FReepmail you about some of the funniest dialogue (as loosely remembered) from it. I had forgotten. Absolutely hysterical, but I don't think I can post it publicly and remain in good standing here. Someone very funny that I know also added a little of his own to it that makes it even funnier.
You should be getting your candygram shortly. Just promise me in advance that you won't think I'm a sicko. OK, you can think of me as a sicko.
bttt
How on earth did evil mastermind Karl Rove get Bill Clinton to go on such a rant? I'll never figure out how he does it.
Rove, you magnificent bastard!
I can't wait 'til it airs this Sunday. I bet he tries to get them to edit or pull it as reaction grows.
I don't get ABC on our satellite (no regrets) but I can't wait until Pathway to 9/11 comes out on DVD. It's on my "must buy" list.
Excuse please, fingers in the wrong place and these @#$%^%^&&**(() glasses are no help. Will have them changed this coming week. Excuse me.
Any way, x42 is a lying dufus. He was offered OBL 3 times and refused the offer. He was bought by the Chinese when he was running for the governor of Arkansas, and continued in their pay even during his presidency and when he was president, gave them the secrets to our nuclear missels and the encryption information too. He is a lying, arrogant, teeny chasing adult who's zipper is continually in the upzip position. He's really a shameful human.
Gee, I wonder why the Chinese quit this practice after Clinton left office:
ON THE BRINK
Clinton kept lid
on PLA jet threats
Buzzing of U.S. forces started year ago, but White House failed to tell Congress

WASHINGTON -- The Navy and Air Force told the Clinton administration in December that Chinese fighter jets had begun a systematic campaign of "buzzing" dangerously close to U.S. planes and ships in waters near China as early as a year ago, but the administration failed to brief Congress, WorldNetDaily has learned.
The provocations started in April 2000 and got closer and closer, congressional sources say, but the Pentagon didn't formally complain to the White House until December -- out of respect for its ongoing "strategic partnership" with China.
"The Clinton administration wanted to keep all this quiet, which they did," a senior Senate aide told WorldNetDaily on the condition of anonymity. "They never told the Congress."
Calls to the Pentagon were not returned by deadline.
China is holding the crew of a U.S. surveillance plane after it made an emergency landing Sunday at a Chinese military base after colliding with one of two Chinese fighter jets that were reportedly shadowing it in menacing fashion.
Congress expects China will release the 24-member crew by the end of the week, Hill sources say.
"They'll be out by Friday at the latest for the simple reason that the congressional delegations leave for China on Saturday morning," a Senate aide said, "so they (Beijing's communist leaders) are not going to risk that."
One source said Rep. Chris Shays, R-Conn., one of the members of the House delegation, is "nervous" about meeting with officials in China this weekend given the potential hostage crisis. The trip was planned long before the incident. Shays is interested in human-rights issues there.
But hopes of recovering intact the EP-3E spy plane, which contains hi-tech surveillance equipment, are dim.
"I don't think we're going to get the plane back for a long time," he said. "And when we do, they'll give it back in bits."
China's People's Liberation Army likely will try to reverse-engineer the electronics system to gain insights into the U.S. military's top-secret signals-gathering technology.
In such emergencies, the EP-3E crew is trained to destroy secret documents and manuals and disable hardware on board, so they won't fall into potential enemy hands.
But even if crew members managed to carry out such security procedures, it won't stop the communists, skilled at reverse-engineering, from taking the equipment apart and trying to replicate it.
The U.S. crew, described as very young, was flying a mission in the South China Sea to track weapons systems the PLA recently bought from Russia, which forged military ties with China during the Clinton administration.
"They were following the Sovremenny destroyer," the senior Senate aide said.
China's 7,300-ton Sovremenny destroyer, armed with eight nuclear-tipped SS-N-22 Sunburn anti-ship missiles, is of particular concern to the U.S. Pacific fleet because it is chiefly designed to kill American aircraft carriers -- which stand as a major deterrent to the mainland Chinese communists taking U.S. ally Taiwan by force.
Despite Beijing's claims, Hill sources say flight-path coordinates show the EP-3E plane was flying outside the internationally recognized 12-mile limit on territorial waters, and did not intrude into China's airspace.
ping for later
Why do I keep thinking of Jack Nicholson when I look at it?
That we are and we've been doing it for a very long time. :-)
I deliberately left off the Black Hawk stuff because I know there are a lot of you on here who know a lot more about that than I do.
I was counting on somebody coming along with the facts!
That sickens me..............again.
