[Carni]

Damn! The one morning I don't turn on cable! WTF happened? Who's taking his place?

[UpInArms]

excerpt:

The White House has yet to announce McClellan's replacement. News reports have identified a number of potential candidates, including Fox News' Tony Snow, former Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clark, and Dan Senor, who served as the spokesman for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq.

Ugh.

[bluedog]

40. Dan Senor dates Cambell Brown

thats why all the kiss up by brown on news reports!

[displacedtexan]

41. They just got married.

I predict Dan will be the man, and Campbell will get the exclusive interviews.

[lildreamer316]

42. I belive they are now married.

Thought they got hitched at the WH. I'll try and find the link...........

43. Dan Senor and Killer Kimmitt

THE ASS CLOWNS OF THE BAGHDAD 5 O'CLOCK FOLLIES

Like turds they float to the top of the Bowl

[PA Democrat]

47. Two "Fair and Balanced" FOX News anchors are being considered?

How convenient. Since they already do so much lying for Bush, why not do it right from the White House?

[Carni]

57. I'll second that Ugh!

And throw in a Bleeecccchhh!

Dan Senor? Tony Snow -- well at least they are being more honest about faux news being an official employee of the Chimp's house!

[H3Dakota]

20. Thx for the fix...

Distracted at work, if you can believe it... he-he-he

[Canuckistanian]

4. Need to fix your link - too many http's

[xultar]

5. I heard that Snotty the last one to be seen by the chopper.

[Canuckistanian]

10. Snotty and Rove on board

On board the chopper with Bush was Scott McClellan, who had just resigned, and advisor Karl Rove. Two others were also on board.

[Connie_Corleone]

6. You've got an extra "http:" at the beginning of the url.

[Poll_Blind]

7. What a dilemma: I dunno who I want to break who's fall!

Oy!

PB

[magellan]

8. Link correction

http://www.baynews9.com/content/74/2006/4/19/154562.html

Fascinating. I wonder if there was a fist fight or sumpin.

[Connie_Corleone]

9. That's what I was thinking. LOL

Scotty must've went after Rove.

[Lerkfish]

17. that's my theory as well. Somehow I don't think Snotty VOLUNTARILY

resigned.

[Roland99]

12. Wow....tres interresant!

[Mandate My Ass]

14. LOL. It sure sounds like it

Rove will not have the last laugh, IMHO. He's goin' down. Fitz is going to flush the Turdblossom right down WH drain. :rofl:

[havocmom]

16. yeah... asked to leave? Who asks everyone to leave Chopper One?

:rofl:

from the linked site:

Bush left the helicopter smiling, saying there had been some sort of incident and everyone was asked to leave. There is no word on the nature of the incident.

On board the chopper with Bush was Scott McClellan, who had just resigned, and advisor Karl Rove. Two others were also on board.

Asked to leave? The Marines getting tired to hauling the Chicken Hawks around or what?

:rofl:

[Richard D]

13. In Mid-Air????!?!???!??!?!??

we should be so lucky.

[tuvor]

15. With Socky and Karl on board? On the day they "resigned"?

Coincidence. Sure. Yeah. Uh-huh.

[ToolTex]

22. Puffy was suppose to be on the "other" small plane.

n/t

[FightingIrish]

18. Maybe it's part of the long overdue coup.

[Canuckistanian]

21. Foiled coup attempt?

If so, then even the coup-plotters are incompetent.

[OldLeftieLawyer]

19. My Law Of Cold Sores

I have a theory that good things happen in ones - one good things happens, then you wait, then, maybe another good thing happens. They are isolates.

But, with my Cold Sore Theory Of Life, I firmly believe - having witnessed this for many decades - that bad things happen in clusters, like cold sores popping up on heretofore smooth lips. One pops, then another, then another.

I'd like to think that this little helicopter incident is just another cold sore making its way to the surface, and that many, many more will follow.

Gonna need BIG bottles of this stuff over at 1600 PA:

[QuettaKid]

23. is this being reported anywhere else? nt.

.

[H3Dakota]

24. Yes, now it has been added to

one of the McClellan stories...

White House spokesman resigning

<snip>
Ater the announcement, Bush and McClellan walked across the lawn together and boarded Marine One, but a problem with the helicopter's radio kept it grounded. The president and his staff were forced to take a motorcade to Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, where Bush was scheduled to depart for Alabama.
<snip>

[havocmom]

33. Helicopter herpes?

OLL, we gotta share a bottle of hooch sometime. My location has less law enforcement to interfere with our reveries. ;)

[OldLeftieLawyer]

34. Oh, what a time that would be, wouldn't it?

Let us hope .............. :)

[tonekat]

25. They were taking Scotty "for a ride"

Just a quick run over to the Bay, where they were going to dump Scotty. "This is where you get off, son!"

He caught on and freaked though, so they'll have to get him some other way.

[lovuian]

26. Get Chopper two...

so the big news....

[kiraboo]

27. I read that as "Bush forced to evacuate IN chopper". Would

that it were so!

[WhiteTara]

54. really! He could fly out and take refuge

in Haiti! Become a third world dictator...oh wait! This is a third world dictatorship.

[truth2power]

28. Probably Snotty crapped himself and they all had to bail. n/t

[MrPrax]

29. They blame the radio...

but it was probably a drunken fistfight.

They were going to give 'Scottie' the 'Argentina' treatment, but Scottie got loose.

[DrDan]

30. I have this vision of junior

pushing the women and children out of the way as he charges toward the exit

screaming the whole time "let me outta here, let me outta here"

not the bravest president we have ever had

[seafan]

31. An *incident*, huh?

I think it all got just a bit personal, somehow. Check our the expressions of * and the pilot....

35. 'I am the decider that Rove dealt it'

[Ian David]

36. Here's a photo from five minutes earlier...

[arewenotdemo]

38. Gotta love the way Chimp keeps his palms backward

So reminiscent of our knuckle-dragging ancestors.

[DrRang]

59. Or Homer Simpson n/t

[bmbmd]

52. Don't make me

stop this chopper.

[Ian David]

39. Anyone remember this photo of Kkkarl Rove?

There he is, sitting in front of the landing gear of Air Force One.

[goclark]

44. One of my favorite photos

It tells just how sick and silly they really are ~ they still think they are in high school/grade school.

I often wonder what the hell was so damn funny that day.

[Rex]

63. Where?

All I see is a cockroach in front of some kind of wheel. :evilgrin:

[yellowcanine]

45. "some sort of incident" ????? Bush sure seems to have more than

his fair share of strange unexplained "incidents". Makes one wonder. Maybe Scotty didn't take his dismissal too well and started mixing it up with the Roveman? If that is the case my money is on Scotty.

[Catrina]

48. They got a call on the radio that all three are about to be arrested and

indicted?? They decided 'something is wrong with this radio' and left the helicopter! :rofl:

[QC]

49. Cheney broke wind. n/t

[Hamsta1]

50. They can't even get that right?

They put Bush on the same chopper that was supposed to crash with Scotty on it?

[Sugar Smack]

53. LOL! Welcome to DU. I like you already.

:D :rofl: :hi:

[northofdenali]

56. Wishful thinking on their part, I guess!

Welcome to DU :hi:

[Rocknrule]

51. Did they find a "suspicious package" in his codpiece?

[H3Dakota]

55. Actually, my initial thought was...

What, the chopper was so full of BS it was too heavy to take off?

:rofl:

[mitchum]

60. Oh, to dream on what could have been...

[sofa king]

61. Transcript of helicopter incident leaked.

Just a couple of minutes ago a misdirected homing pigeon landed on my windowsill here inside the Beltway. The pigeon's message is obviously a partial transcript of the helicopter incident. Here is the text in full:

ATTN: VICE PRESIDENT CHENEY, MOUNT WEATHER PRESIDENTIAL PALACE
DELIVERED VIA HOMING PIGEON

TRANSCRIPT OF HELICOPTER CONVERSATION RELEVANT TO OPERATION HURDY GURDY

THE PRESIDENT: Now, Scottie, I know I told you I was going to give you a lift to the airport so you could go to the Caymans to inspect your secret bank accounts, but, um, the plan has changed, heheheh.

KARL ROVE: (audible laughing)

SCOTT MCCLELLAN: What do you mean, Mr. President?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, you see now, we've been having problems with this leaking, you know. There was Colin, and that guy O'Neill and the other guy from American Bandstand--I loved that show, didn't you, Turd Blossom?

ROVE: Yessss.

THE PRESIDENT: What were we talking about?

ROVE: You were about to tell Scott that we're going to kill him now. You were about--

MCCLELLAN: Oh, shit!

ROVE: You were about to direct our two unnamed friends here to open the helicopter door. You were about to laugh at Scotty and say, "you're fucked now, buddy."

THE PRESIDENT: Oh yeah right. Thanks, Turd Blossom. Scottie, we're gonna kill you now. Guys, open the--

MCCLELLAN: Oh, shit!

THE PRESIDENT: Shut the fuck up, Scottie. I'm the goddamned President. Interrupt me again and I'll make sure you fucking regret it. Guys, open the helicopter door. And, um... what was that other thing, Turd Blossom?

ROVE: Laugh at him and say--

THE PRESIDENT: You're Guckert's butt buddy, haahahaahaa! See, Turd Blossom? I remembered.

MCCLELLAN: Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

THE PRESIDENT: Hahahaha! Look, he's pissin' his pants! Hey, assholes, let Scottie go. I'm the President. I want to toss him off my own self, hahaha!

MCCLELLAN: Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

ROVE: Mr. President, I think Scott's had enough now.

THE PRESIDENT: Here we go! Oh! Hahahaha! Nah, I'm just fuckin' with ya. But not really.

ROVE: What the President is trying to say, Scott, is that we have agreed to let you go only because it is convenient to our current agenda. We still own you. If you talk to anyone, if you tell anything, something far more unpleasant than this will happen to you. And don't forget that ten percent of your interest income goes to me from now on.

THE PRESIDENT: Okay, guys, you can close the door now.... That's better. Wait a minute--what's that damned smell? Scottie, you asshole, did you crap your pants? Open that goddamned door you fuckwits! Why'd you close it in the first place?

***END OF MESSAGE***

62. Lemme guess, he wanted to fly the 'chopper'.
