CNN: Bush made mistake by not meeting with Cindy Sheehan.
Jack Clafferty: "You'd think Karl Rove would be a lot shrewer than that. If he would have met with her we wouldn't even be talking about it anymore."

Wolfie: "He met with her last year though."

Get that freakin' moron off the air (Wolf).

2. He's correct, and that's why they're fucked
Bush will never admit a mistake. If he meets with her now, he admits he should have met with her in the first place. He will never admit it. He's backed himself into a corner.

11. Because you know what happened?
What happened is that someone took the fight to Bush. Most of the time the opposition (any opposition, anywhere in the world, I think) only reacts to what those in power do. Most of that is talk. Some of that is action, but it's almost always reacting to prior facts. So the opposition plays the rigged game of the gvt.

What Cindy has done is she acted first - now Bush is left to "react", and he has no good move.

I've never wished for visa-free travel to the US as much as I do now!

12. I think you're correct! She went on offense.
Dems only play defense.

Why can't you travel here?

13. I'm in Poland
Air fare would just about bankrupt me, but first I'd need to get a visa. It takes weeks (and much groveling). And then I don't think I would actually be granted a US visa if I stated the purpose of my travel :)

17. Dems Only Play Defense? Didn't A Spokeman For Kerry Go Down To Crawford?
like a triple amputee VietNam veteran who was also a former Senator?

6. Rove
you would think Rove could've planned for this better..........but then he's distracted now. He's still worrying about whether or not he will be indicted in the Plame case....

8. correction
he shamelessly photo-opped with her. I don't think he honestly gives a shit about the families of the soldiers he sent to die.

14. So what if he met with her last year?
Are face to face meetings with the President rationed or something? They certainly had no problem letting Gannon into the WH as often as he pleased.

A lot has changed since last year and we now have documented proof that Bush lied about the reasons to invade Iraq.

I think the citizens of this country deserve some answers and accountability.
