This is the companion piece • Lawmakers decry failure 'to connect the dots' before 9/11
My headline would read "Desperate Democrats Dig for Dirt - Come up Empty."
Could Gephardt have looked or sounded anymore desperate and dirty? I want the woman reporter who "could see it in his (Bush) eyes," when he heard the news of the attack that he knew something, and Little Dick Gephardt to connect the dots on the July 4th warning and give us their psychic takes.
The LIBERAL media is wetting their pants over the latest scheme to knock President Bush off track and dirty him up.
Yesterday was a fascinating study in the power and potential of the "new media"- an alliance of the web and talk radio...
I read most of the stories here on Free Republic and logged off to take my wife to work. As we were driving in, the callers to talk radio started coming up, and relaying information, stories, and refutations to "The President Knew!" that had to have come off the web.
By lunchtime, the flow had picked up drastically, and callers were showing more & more indignation- at the clinton's corrupt reign, at the media, and at the spin being peddled.
By late afternoon, the flow became a torrent of righteous anger and indignation.
It was a wonderful thing to behold, and you have to wonder that had it existed 10 years ago, a lot of really bad stuff would have died a-borning...
My only other thought is along the lines of
"Please, please, Bro Fox! Don't throw me in that Briar Patch!"
This will be just like Enron, the "Picture Issue" and all the other junk the left has dragged out of the sewer to attempt to smear the President- soon as they start looking they will find 10 times more stuff pointing right back to them and the clintons...
An aside? While waiting for my wife to finish up at work, I was watching Condi Rice's press conference on the TV in the lobby... through a glass window, I could only hear snatches of words, so I watched the body language of Condi & "the other side..."
( I use this technique for other TV news, too- turn off the sound and observe the pictures...)
What I saw was an adult on one side, and a bunch of head-tossing, hand-jujitsu-ing adolescents on the other side...
A liberal friend of mine said a true patriot would want to see any President suceed if it means the country is safer, freer, and more prosperous.
Now, now, let's not insult pond scum, which, as I recall, has a useful purpose in the cycle of nature... as opposed to the left, which has nothing but outrage and fear to peddle--
Or have a big partisan piss-fest that accomplishes nothing.
Truer words were never spoken.
The Holiday *Best* of Bill Clinton & his Friends!
but be warned, there are "links within links within links" that you must follow to find everything I ran across.
A quicker way might be to use hotbot.com advanced search, limit it to "domain:freerepublic.com" and restrict the date to after, say a couple of days ago, so you get the latest stories on the clintons' cupability in this- there have been a lot of these stories the last 48 hours.
She added: ''I am simply here ... to seek answers to questions, questions being asked by my constituents.'' She called for Senate hearings, requested the release of Bush's intelligence briefing from last August, and asked the president ''why we know today, May 16, about the warning he received, and why we did not know this on April 16, or March 16, or Feb. 16 ... or Aug. 16.''***
