[rodeodance]

7. Biden says Bush needs Congress persmission to attach Iran and neither

Dems nor Repugs will do that now.

[rodeodance]

8. Biden is blasting Bush--Tweety wanted to know when someone would

stand up and say to JR--This is not a dictatorship.

[rodeodance]

10. Did Biden just say he told Bush he should be fired also?

[doh_phooey]

21. Biden said he hadn't talked to Bush in a month

Bush has gone back into his bubble.

[goclark]

22. Tweety should ask GW when he is going to resign

When he does, his cash flow will take a minus cut.


Tweety shouldn't ask anyone another question.

He is an idiot.

11. That gas-bag

Normalizing relations with iran may be the big enchilada. and wondering if it will be able to happen. for chrissakes - we overthrew one of their elected governments to install our guy, the Shah. Biden doesn't have the guts to lay it out on the table and Matthews won't ask him. If we never face up to our "sins", normalization will never be a reality.

A "let me hold my side" moment : When asked if W will meet with Iran's leader, Biden said no, because he's a crazy man. Did he mean W?

26. What's In A "Leak": The Power of Metaphors in Debate

Despite all the scandals weighing down President Bush (e.g., Iraq, Katrina, the ports, Delay, Abramoff...) nothing threatens to sink him faster than the word 'leak.' Last week, the 'Commander-in-Chief' was renamed the 'Leaker-in-Chief' following revelations from Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald that the source of the national security leak -- or at least the authority behind that leak -- was none other than the President himself. Suddenly, after years of an investigation that had gotten way to complicated for all but political junkies to follow, the 'leak' revelation recast the story in straightforward understandable terms: An American citizen criticized the President, Bush leaked information to be used as political payback. And as that straightforward story took hold of public imagination last week, the haze of hard-to-remember scandal names dissipated (e.g., 'Plame Affair,' 'CIA Leak Investigation,' 'Niger Yellow Cake Scandal'), leaving 'Leakgate' in their place.

'Leakgate.' Like 'Watergate' for Nixon, 'Iran-Contra' for Reagan and 'Monicagate' for Clinton, 'Leakgate' will be forever associated with President George W. Bush, a word that will define both his Presidency in the mind of future generations and establish a certain category of political scandal as a historical reference point.

But why is the word 'leak' so powerful?
