Actually you were one of the very first here on FR to throw this smear at the president.

I believe Todd posted the Don Nelson letter as documention that a 36 year NASA engineer wrote a letter to President Bush not too many months ago, pleading for attention at what he perceived were lapses at NASA. I believe he provided this alert on Saturday evening with the intent to prepare us for the onslaught which was to come on Monday. He was correct.

TLB provided an alert to FR and its readers to the fact that the Don Nelson letter was out in the public domain.

To accuse TLB of throwing a smear at the president is a despicable tactic. One which you seem fairly talented in lately.

Fred, Todd NEVER posts anything that isn't detrimental to President Bush in one way or another. You don't call somebody a commie rat Clinton-like liberal and then post favorable articles about them.

Let's not try to make Todd more than he is, okay? As I have said before, he's like a Weeble; he has NO core convictions and NEVER provides facts, only cutting and pasting, and will "go" whichever way the wind blows him to draw attention for himself.

Face it, if we all were bashing NASA, he'd be FOR NASA, just to be contrary.

Prediction: he's now enamoured with O'Reilly, so expect to see a LOT of C&P from him now, too.

My wife just read this thread and when I told her how old Howlin is, she couldn't believe it. To be nice I pegged howlin too.

Rush even came back to help with the rat battle today. He wrote a piece about it below. All I did was bring the news here to report on what was coming and you would of thought the world ended.


Shuttle Accident Appallingly Politicized Already

One of the most appalling things about the coverage of the space shuttle accident has been the Democrats' attempt to exploit the tragedy for petty political gain. It is uncanny the depths to which they have sunk in order to get their power back, in order to "get their message out," which they don't think they're doing. They're blaming George W. Bush for the Columbia's disintegration because of budget cuts and the privatization of the program.

Oh come on, Fred. TLB took the letter as the 'cause' and deduced the 'effect' to be that NASA was deliberately complicit in the deaths of 7 astronauts. I hardly give such 'public service credit' as you do, no matter WHAT the TLB's spin is now.
