4. Wow, I never would have watched it so thanks for the heads-up.

Lesley Stahl's embargoed from saying what the newsmaking revelations will be when the book comes out but she said they include the economy, domestic policy and Iraq.

8. I aim to please

:hi:

and for future reference, how do I go about posting direct links to videos?

[economic justice]

13. Actually....

Many times it's as simple as copying the URL to the video (right click, "copy shortcut").....but many times you can't (if they use JavaScript for instance and do it right)...but CBS does it in a way that enables you to link to their stuff. With RealPlayer, go to video on CBS site and while it's playing right click on the video and select "Play in RealPlayer"....then maximize RealPlayer and go to "File"/"Clip Properties"/"Edit Clip Info"......just copy the URL shown -- and paste!

9. O'Neill Calls Bush a Disengaged President

Here's a few paragraphs from the AP wire report. O'Neil says W was like a "blind man in a roomful of deaf people." LOL


Ap Wire

January 9, 2004

WASHINGTON -- Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, pushed out of the administration for not being a team player, says President Bush was so disengaged during Cabinet meetings that he was like a "blind man in a roomful of deaf people."

O'Neill, who has kept silent about the circumstances surrounding his ouster from the Cabinet 13 months ago, is now ready to give his side of the story with a tell-all book that paints Bush as a disengaged president who didn't encourage debate either at Cabinet meetings or in one-on-one meetings with his Cabinet secretaries.

<snip>

Asked about O'Neill's comment about a disengaged president, White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters Friday, "I think it's well known the way the president approaches governing and setting priorities. The president is someone that leads and acts decisively on our biggest priorities and that is exactly what he'll continue to do."

12. "A blind man in a roomful of deaf people."

The Freepers are busy shooting the messenger. Can't face the truth, eh?

Can't wait for the book to come out, and see what the 'newsworthy' stories are!
