Right after Wolf disses Dean about "Are we Safer" Terror alert goes Orange

[KoKo]

Hello? Big announcement after Wolf plays tape of Dean saying "Capturing Saddam has not made America Safer!" And just after the interview with Kerry ends, Wolf announces breathlessly that Tom Ridge will have a special news conference to raise our threat level to Code Orange!

If we are safer why are we supposed to be on next to highest alert? Huh?

[Gin]

1. I was wriitng the same thing at the same time...2 great minds on the same

path. :)

[HFishbine]

2. Even I'm Amazed

Is Dean that smart, or just lucky?

[mouse7]

4. Hey, I claim the first rim shot on this one

I got the "Tom Ridge press conference to declare Dean psychic" thread up first.

That stupid joke is Miiiiiiiiiiine. Mine. Mine. Mine. :D

[wryter2000]

6. You rock

Love, love, love your joke. You da, man!

[silverlib]

3. gee

I want to say "no *)it! in the subject, but don't know if it's allowed, and I had a hard time putting in anything "intellegent."

I thought the same thing when I got the CNN alert in my in-box.

[wryter2000]

5. LOL

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.

7. Did you hear them gearing up for making US citizens

enemy combatants?
insinuating Americans were involved?

[bigtree]

8. Bush has hyped the terror threat in the past to manipulate opinion

about the invasion of Iraq and his agressive foreign policy.

I don't believe the Ridge propaganda office.

9. It seems like they are saying

you be sure and be good and scared so you know you depend on a big tough cowboy for your very life

10. We Have a Clear Opposition Leader Now

His name is Howard Dean, and he's running for President of the United States.

He's leading. He's setting the agenda.

The stature gap is widening, folks. This is exactly why we have a nominating process.

[Scott Lee]

16. As opposed to the waffling Kerry, or Rose Garden Quislings

Amen to that.

[Padraig18]

11. Kick

There goes Howard, being right again, gosh-darn him! :P

[bigtree]

13. I believe that one less dictator in that region ultimately makes

America safer. Therefore I disagree with Gov. Dean's statement. Not the whole statement. Just the part about America not being safer after Saddam's capture.

However, the unlateral method that Bush used to remove him has made us more insecure. He's right about that, but he's not alone in that view among the other candidates.

[Scott Lee]

14. Can you offfer any hard evidence for your opinion on this?

Or is it just based on another reason to hate Howard Dean?

Mind you, you're entirely free to hate Howard Dean - I just want to know if your opinions on "one less dictator makes us safer" is based on any solid evidence. Thanks in advance.

[bigtree]

18. "I believe"

Got a problem with that? Where does that imply Howard Dean hate?

[HFishbine]

17. "unlateral"

I like that! I think you've coined a new phrase to describe Bush's foreign policy.

[bigtree]

19. oops!

unilateral. Or, whatever.

[HFishbine]

20. But

Considering the decent here at home and lack of world support, I think unlateral is appropriate.

[bigtree]

21. no side?

The man needs a mistress to break the monogamy.

12. Anyone want to send Joe Lieberman a holiday gift?

Here are some suggestions:

1. A case of Orange Crush soft drinks.
2. A box of Florida oranges.
3. A bar of Dial (orange-colored) soap ("Orange you glad you used Dial?")
4. A can of frozen orange juice.
5. A jar of Tang.
6. All of the above.

15. How do I wrap my middle finger?
