6. uhhhhhhhhh, actually the crawl said something like that
got you here, though, didn't it?

I caught the very end of his spiel, but what caught my eye was the crawl, which said words to the effect that we could expect an attack soon, or words to that effect

can't remember if they used the word "imminent"

but that's their favorite word, isn't it, even when they don't use it

so I guess it's OK for me, too, right?

31. I heard it
Early on, he said something about "when the next attack occurs, and it will,..." and I thought that's a crummy attitude!

7. some reporter was giving her last BJ to the DOD
Edited on Thu Mar-25-04 02:16 PM by buycitgo
Rumdum acknowledged that and gave her the first question

how very swell; it's such a COZY scene

a real love fest...just like when WJC was in office


reporter just quoted somebody else as calling Clarke a liar, asked DR if he agreed. he said no

10. Clark really got to them yesterday: Alert-Danger-look over there-terror
When do they run out of fuel for their smoke and mirrors machine? Any attack on the US now will be pretty obviously MIHOP

16. Repugs FLIP FLOP on Terror
First we're safer
Now we're not?


We can't have another attack in America, we're so much safer with Mr. Tough on Defense, Soft on the Truth.

27. Asked about WMD jokes
"Were they appropriate? Did the media blow it by laughing complacently?"

He ducks the question, says I wasn't there, I don't know the context.
