Excerpt from Frist's speech on ex-official

[raysr]

First, in an e-mail to the national security adviser four days after the Sept. 11 attacks, Mr. Clarke expressed alarm that when the era of national unity begins to crack, an effort to assign responsibility for the 9/11 attacks will begin. In that e-mail, Mr. Clarke proceeds to lay out in detail a defense of his own actions before the attack and those of the entire administration.

Mr. Clarke was clearly consumed by the desire to dodge any blame for the 9/11 attacks, while at that same moment rescuers were still searching the rubble of the World Trade Center for survivors. In my mind this offers perfect insight as to what drove him to write his book. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/27/politics/27PTEX.html?ex=1080968400&en=3654f86a36caa192&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE You know, I think Clarke is smart enough and tough enough to take it.

3. Pissed off

whiney Republicans. They are like babies without the bottle...whine and cry.

"Does MR. Clarke understand the gravity of the issues being reviewed by the 9/11 commission," ..." blah, blah, blah. Come one Frist, you sound like a elementary school principal scolding a belligerant child.

Frist, DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY of LIES this administration has spoon-fed the American people on a propogated war? If not then sit down and shut-up, 'cause you don't have a leg to stand on with that lecture.

[Skittles]

5. it is quite insulting

Frist is an idiot and no doubt Clarke knows that.
