1. economy showing strong and sustained growth, unemployment
down to 5%, education better now. had a good meeting with some kind of senatorial or congressional repukes and bragged about what great progress they've all made. The ideological struggle of us vs the terra-ists. Better medicare benefits for our beloved elderly, getting them cheaper drugs. Comprehensive energy strategy legislation designed to stop our dependence on foreign oil Free trade (cafta?). Level the playing field. Our goods are not going to central america like they should. blah blah blah

If you absolutely can't help yourselves and have to make law from the bench, make sure it benefits me, but will not be a precedent for others.

McClellan: "Questions on an ongoing investigation and it's already been addressed."

Thomas: "What was your answer?"

17. Why doesn't he talk about the country where people are working 2 or
3 jobs to keep up with the lost wages from a job that was outsourced.
These people are so fucking disconnected from the reality of working
people in this country it's disgusting. The view from corporate America headquarters is all rosy-mostly at the expense of those of us who end
up subsidizing their huge tax breaks and profits.

20. I wonder if any of the reporters would have enough guts...
to ask Scotty to weigh in on the Doonesbury/Turd Blossom controversy, and perhaps clarify for the record just what Shrub's nickname for Karl Rove is...

philosophy. Are you aware of his stance on abortion?

REfusing to back down even after Scottie snorted at her question and called on somebody else. She demanded a serious answer.

25. "Everybody wants our troops to come home..."
The Iraqi forces are making important progress, but there is work to do...
The commanders on the ground make decisions and determine troop levels.

32. Gee I thought the US Military was controlled by civilians...
Now we find out that local commanders determine troop levels.

It's apparently just like it was in Rome 2100 years ago.

I know I never watched the daily press briefings, until the press started to show some spine.

It probably just crashed from too many users. :P
