Why Clarke's book now? Did b* expect . .

[AVID]

the release date to be Nov 3, the day after the election?

The media's "timing" debate is irrational?

When do you publish a book about current events?

1. It's a free country. I guess Bush forgot! n/t

oh, too bad--what goes around comes around! A whole bunch of do do is about to hizzle the Chizzle.

Things are starting to get gooder!

[H2O Man]

2. The "timing" equals

Clarke's leaving the government service plus the time it took to write the book. It is not so much a "political" book as it is a warning from a patriot about some severe short-comings on the part of this administration. It fits snuggly into the catagory of books by those who are public servants and/or republicans, who are sincere and responsible, and who recognize that the bush administration poses the greatest threat to the United States in our history.

3. * appears to have been caught flatfooted

The message going out is not very well organized so far. No congress critters on board either. Surely they could find one willing to toe the * line on this one. I think they got caught with the proverbial pants around the ankles.

7. No congress critters? Hey, Joe Lieberman already stuck up for bush*!

Do Democratic Senators count?

4. Hehe...It was suppose to come out in April

and now the WH is pissed because he released it the same week he will testify before the 911 commission. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! These people deserve EVERYTHING BAD that comes their way. Kudos to "The Republican Clarke!" :bounce:

6. Does that mean we now have TWO Clark Republicans? n/t

5. Somebody on the idiot box said is was so Clarke would have a

chance to use his testimony before the 9/11 Commission to headline his book.

I don't know if that was meant as a compliment to his intelligence or a criticism of his opportunism. Either way, it spells big trouble for the Invisible Airman.

First Clark made the charge about Bush and Iraq, then O'Neill, now Clarke. Pretty soon even the media is going to have to start telling the truth, as amazing as that might seem.

10. Tweety told a WH talking head

who was whining about the book being released this week...."It is brilliant marketing." Brilliant marketing with a purpose! :bounce:

8. WH delayed it 3 months - so it's closer to election

Man works on his schedule. Title "Against all enemies" refers to PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTON. Good man.
