2. Well, you missed alot

1,001 of our guys dead in Iraq, Cheney flip flops on his statement about Kerry and terrorist attacks, the Boston Globe breaks the story that not only did Bush did help getting into the guard but he was absent so much he should have been sent to Vietnam (standard guard policy), and the Barnes story is on 60 Minutes II tonight.

And Bob Graham's accusation about Bush covering up for the Saudi royal family.

It's not over yet.

4. You missed Dubya's weekly gaff:

"Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

5. Please tell me this is a joke.

Even bush cannot be that stupid.

6. Not a joke at all.... search for part of the phrase in GD or the Lounge.

Yep... he's that stupid.

7. There's even a video link somewhere around here.

Yes, he actually said it. He even paused before he got to "their love", as if he had time to think about what he was about to say, and he STILL said it!
