Slade Gorton, Repub. 9/11 Commission member, said, paraphrased,

[jenmito]

"Both presidents had a huge attack in their first year." He actually equated 9/11 to this FAILED attempt to blow up a plane (on Hardball). Did Obama ignore a presidential PDB about this underwear guy? Did anyone die? Unbelievable.

2. Thanks. I edited it. n/t

3. That really bothered me, too. And also his statement

that Obama, like Bush, hadn't been paying enough attention to terrorism during his first year. What a crock.

[jenmito]

5. Oh, yeah!

I hated that, too!

4. Slade Gorton is, always was, and always will be, a partisan piece of shit

We used to call him Senator Skeletor, though that was really unfair to Skeletor.

[Cha]

6. And, he's hoping anyone will buy that

stupid shit he's pushing.

Equating 9/11 to the failed attempt of the incendiary device in the underwear guy is beyond pathetic.

No one called him on it?

7. :rolls eyes:

Sucks to be a Republican these days.
