watching msnbc
some funny shit.

russian president putin, who seems to have thrown his weight behind bush for some ungodly reason, and who recently slammed democrats for protesting the iraq war when they supported clinton's war on christian serbians, well he came up with this jem, and i am paraphrasing:

russian government knew about saddam's plans to attack america and we have notified american government many times about this before the 9/11

in response, and this is actually a direct quote from US state department:

this statement left us scratching our heads

p.s. what the hell is going on

3. It could mean that Bush didn't listen to his soul-mate Pooty-Poot
but then Junior* rarely listens to anyone, right? If Putin did offer any info prior to 911, Junior might have even said "Who cares what you think?" He has been known to say it.

whatever. the news is fucking worthless.

7. BMSM.........
I'm sorry I wasn't trying to say YOU were wrong, just that I had heard it differently. It definitely could be ME getting it wrong. I recently fell and broke my arm and have been on pain meds for it.....I've gotten lotsa stuff wrong recently! Again, I apologize if it sounded accusing. That was not my intent.
