This is a special double-edition daily dose due to FR being down yesterday...
President Bush and his administration were in the defensive today as Democrats and the media swarmed around revelations that the President was given a general warning about possible hijackings before September 11th. It was revealed later in the day that the very same Democrats leading the negative charge, Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt, also knew of the briefings yet failed to let the media know. By the end of the day, it was the Republicans in Congress leading the charge and taking the Democrats to task for their usual games of partisan slander.
This afternoon, in a move to give the public more knowledge on the exact nature of the briefings, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice confronted the media with detailed national security intelligence in the months leading up to September 11th. It was made clear that the intelligence briefings given to the President were not specific or detailed enough to prevent the suicide bomber attacks.
In much lighter news, the President began the day at the First Annual National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. Later he presented the Congressional Gold Medal to President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy.
AMEN ... I am canceling my AOL account after the stunt they pulled with their Home Page
I don't think I have been this TICKED OFF since the the 2000 elections
Cheney was right
In his speech Cheney said he wanted to tell "my Democratic friends in the Congress is that they need to be very cautious not to seek political advantage by making incendiary suggestions".
"The president and I believe that one of our most important responsibilities is to do all that we can to ensure that an attack like 9/11 never happens again," he said.
The Dems and the Media are playing a political game to attack Bush at the exspense of American Lives
And I WILL NOT take this crap sitting down

Sweet dreams, yourself, you gleeful little Troll!
Don't you know it!
The ranch must look like heaven to this guy...so glad he has Camp David and Crawford to turn to for regrouping. (Was just thinking the bill and hill NEVER went to Arkansas...I don't think it was ever their home. I don't think they know HOME. And truly, I don't think they know how to be happy unless they are mooching off someone else-either friends or the government.)
Anyway, this is how I have it moving around the country as of now:
ohio has just sent it to Homeschool Mama
HSM sends it to Mo1;
Mo1 sends it to twynl1:,
twyn1 sends it to TruthNtegrity;
TruthNtegrity sends it to tamikamaria;
tamikamaria sends it to Carolinamom;
Carolinamom sends it to hoosiermama;
hoosiermama sends it to YOU!
We could probably be more efficient about this if we kept it in specific regions of the country but that might complicate matters too much!
Also, there is a book about Laura making the rounds. I think MtnGrl has that and you are welcome to read that as well.
Any change of plans about the Washington State GOP Convention in Bellevue? I'm secretly hoping that the guest speaker at the dinner is going to be W and that's why they haven't announced it. All notices just say TBA!! Goodnesswins is hoping the same as well. LOL!
What stunt was that, Mo1?! I have AOL and didn't see anything. Do tell!
Actually, I have that and am now reading it. Should be done by tomorrow. Won't be able to send it til Monday so I'll need to know who gets it next. :o)
My impression of eskimo ----------> (_o_) the impression is that of the north end of a south bound Mule, and there is no second chance to make a first impression.

Hey Wphile, sending my regards and my answer to the (dirt across the aisle) RATS
Good reflection, Guido. I was so mad today about the dims digging this up and trying to smear Bush that I totally forgot about the sincerity of his evening short speech on 9-11-01. Thanks for jogging my memory.
