Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help: To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, Ragtime Cowgirl for her Exclusive Live Transcription Service (tm), the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

Thanks! ...and, Good! He can't intimidate too many if they can't see him.

David Shater on Sky is nearly having an orgasm. He says that this tape shows that Saddam is a man of the people and risks his life to go out on the street to greet his people. Is a man of Baghdad and will die there. (We can hope!) Shater adds that this tape, coupled with the threat on the airport, is a brilliant call to arms and he is breathless with anticipation.

Some 23mm or 40mm going up as well

[ken5050]

It looks like Michael Jackson..

[Dog]

This is an outrage....showing suicide bombers before they kill Americans in Baghdad......is out of line!!!!!!

Hey, check this out. Freeper tdadams found the actual audio clip of Chris Matthews being suckered last night on air by a prankster. Pretty funny, since Matthews didn't catch on immediately.

I remember the touching phobia thing, too. That's why I was surprised that Saddam shook hands with Rather.

[RippleFire]

Thanks!

[AppyPappy]

COOL. ZSU-23/4 just fired. Long string of tracers going up.

I don't like it either, but I think FOX's point is: "look what the Arab World is watching today--"

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Mmmm...ice cream. If today's theme is Barney the dinosaur...we can have some assurance that she is sending a message to the press, I think. (^:

A sad day for all of us who loved good political writing. Michael Kelly's death is a great loss.

Hugh Hewitt's radio show this afternoon will be a tribute to Kelly. He pays tribute to Kelly at www.hughhewitt.com.

[ken5050]

There were maybe three people watching Chris....

[Dog]

Small arnms fire in Bag!!!

[PrivateIdaho]

Yee - haw! Lots of BagCam fireworks!

David Shater on Sky is nearly having an orgasm.

He described SH's speech today as Churchillian.

[Diddle E. Squat]

I was one of the three and it had me laughing out loud.

[buckrat]

He must listen to Rush. He mentioned the same thing.

[Nam Vet]

He's pretty sharp for a dull kid.
