[Wait4Truth]

DON'T WATCH CNN UNLESS YOU ARE A TRUE BUSH-HATER. THEY ARE RIPPING THE PRESIDENT APART AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST HOUR - WITHOUT STOPPING.

"At the same time, Global Crossing solicited letters of support from a levy of lawmakers, including Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). In March 1999, the Senate Commerce Committee chairman wrote the FCC to encourage development of Global Crossing’s fiber-optic lines and to block the proposed AT&T/MCI/Sprint consortium. On the last day of that month, more than 20 employees of Global Crossing, including the company’s co-chairmen Cook and Gary Winnick, contributed $30,000 to McCain’s presidential campaign. (To date, McCain is the Senate’s top recipient of Global Crossing contributions.) Later that spring, under the threat of an antitrust investigation, the consortium was forced to scale back its plans"

Someone saw Osama hanging out with that backpack guy from the twin-tower pic.

Y'all wouldn't be talkin' 'bout Tourist Guy, would ya?

[Miss Marple]

carenot is one of those people you don't want in the foxhole with you. He jumps out at the first sign of trouble.

[terilyn]

Awwww shucks (kicking dirt)

[PhiKapMom]

I got the same feeling about the leak at the Pentagon. But it went right over the heads of most of the vast left wing liberal press corps.

I love Angle from Fox -- he gets a twinkle in his eyes when he is called on to ask the question knowing full well that his question will get a thoughtful response. It is like an "I gottcha to the rest of the press corps -- the Pres likes me type of look!"

To: carenot
You truely are clueless.
Your pitiful attempts at witticism prove that.
Here's a tip for you : don't improvise.
You are only mildly irritating when you stick to the script,
but at least when you DO stick to the script
you don't sound brainless on top of it.

carenot asked questions I'd also like the answers to, cake_crumb.

The incompetence of our "alphabet agencies" has contributed to the death of thousands of our people. Is it too much to expect that President Bush demand that they improve their performance?

And if he has done anything to improve their performance, wouldn't you think that he would tell us, so that we wouldn't have to worry so much?

Here's a tip for you, cake_crumb.
Stop making personal attacks.

[RobFromGa]

I agree. He was definitely irritated by the silliness of the Harkin drone.

I disagree. I think the "Harken Drone" was the entire point of this 5pm press conference. Get it off the table...

Now, tomorrow, when he gives his "real speech" about the corporate criminals who have run amuck the past 5-10 years and how he is going to FRY THEIR ASSES, he can go after real RED MEAT.

Tomorrow, Bush won't be distracted by this recycled Harken "stuff" (I cracked up at Bush's word choice, but "Crap" is a much better word), he already dealt with it like a hundred times and THIS DOG NOT ONLY AIN'T GONNA HUNT, IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ABLE TO WALK.

These former corporate bigwigs are wondering why they ever got so greedy that they risked prison.

The Lure of the Bill Clinton Sirens-- "make us look good, we'll never hurt you"-- was pretty strong "stuff" I guess...

[habs4ever]

I thought he was "principled".....he wouldn't cut and run, would he?

[PhiKapMom]

I saw that with Brokaw. Believe you are right.

No way do they want their questions they ask with their obvious dislike of the President out on the alphabet networks. They don't seem to mind about cable but none of them want to go national with their stupidity on ABC, CBS, or NBC. Although I must admit it would be hard to get around some of their stupidity today!

I think the "Harken Drone" was the entire point of this 5pm press conference. Get it off the table...

Good point. The President is a very savvy politician. You are most likely correct.

[PhiKapMom]

Thank you sir for the transcript!

[carenot]

I pray for an ignore button.

Why do you have a problem?

You need Big Brother to keep you from reading something you don't want to?

I don't.

[rintense]

Good point. Although I think he wanted to say sh!t, not stuff. LOL.

[RobFromGa]

carenot is one of those people you don't want in the foxhole with you. He jumps out at the first sign of trouble.

But if you get him first, before he jumps out, then he's just a couple of weeks of yummy extra protein rations...

[PhiKapMom]

Agree with both of you on this press conference. He was definitely ready to take off a few heads and thought better of it, but the look on his face said it all. It was so obvious that he couldn't believe the D.C. press corps kept asking the same questions which most likely were sent out by DNC talking points this morning.

Cannot wait to see those vast left wing liberal press corps members from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, AP, WP, and NY Times just to mention a few spend August in Crawford. Hope is is hotter than hot in August in Crawford!

Jim Angle showed again today why Fox is the network of choice of so many of us!

[bushfamfan]

What about the Republicans forcing him out of the party because he's obviously working with the Demonrats?

[carenot]

Another thread: Arafat is stepping down soon, within weeks.

Really?

Who made him do it?

Why didn't he say he was "stepping down" when GW told him to?

I want so bad to believe GW, but he makes it really hard for me.

[carenot]

Maybe we should start a Hall Of Shame, and remind them of their hsitory whenever they open their yaps.

I thought we did that.

Didn't we do that when Clinton was President?

[RobFromGa]

I want so bad to believe GW, but he makes it really hard for me.

See your doctor or "doctor" -- you may just need to adjust your meds.

"Nancy Pelosi on CNN = Makes me laugh, she's so anxious to bash Bush. I bet she has to sleep with her eyes open....so much surgery, her lids can't cover her eyeballs anymore."

Thank you. For the longest time I could not figure out why her face was this way--for awhile I thought she was born ugly and disguised it with makeup and nice clothes and scarves around the neck. But now I now--She like Wacko Jackson had cosmetic surgery.
