ANTI-CLARKE BOMBSHELL [Rich Lowry]

Watch for a story about to break in the media this morning that will make Clarke look pretty foolish. More soon...

You can expect the Kerry camp to quote extensively from the book to their liking as well. Clarke's going to on Larry King tonight.

[Cicero]

Clarke is about as believable as Michael Moore. Which is to say that, unfortunately, plenty of people will buy and read his book after seeing it on 60 Minutes.

Some of my family saw "Bowling for Columbine" a couple of months ago, and I was unable to persuade them how many lies were involved in it, beginning with the prearrangement to license the gun a week before the incident was filmed, so it looked as if you could walk right into the bank and be given a gun.

It would have been much better to have scotched this snake before he had time to add his contribution to the spin machine. Which is to say that Bush made a serious mistake trying to be kind and bipartisan, leaving all these venemous clintonoid traitors in his administration who could write books, leave their jobs, and be announced on the media as critics of Bush from within his own administration.

In fact, the clintonoids still in place are undoubtedly doing far more damage than the ones who have quit and run to the media.

[Rhetorical pi2]

Would he give us a heads up?

What media does he expect to release the news that Clarke and Osama Bin Laden shared a sleeping bag in one of OBL's caves?

See? When I get these teasers, the real news never matches my imagination!! :o)

[McGruff]

I heard from the IMUS in the Morning show that he was caught in bed with Lesley Stahl the other day.

[Ann Archy]

Maybe he's a girlie-man who as a crush on W! Just kidding, but the guy is like....two Different people. He has said everything BOTH ways!! Weird.

[Styria]

I shouldn't laugh, because I had a squad call to a guy who got drunk enough to do that with a real weapon. But that's funny. =)

Whammo Air Guns. Cock the plunger, pull the trigger, and fire a burst of air 20'. Fun! Cool! And BANNED by the idiots in toy safety when some kid put it to his brother's ear and deafened him. One moron; all kids lose out.

It is the parents' (note the possessive form...implies two parents!) to monitor and protect their kids, and see to it that they don't do anything stupid. And it is the parents' duty to let kids occasionally suffer the consequences of doing a d@mn stupid thing to teach them that life will bite you if you act like a little moron.

[roses of sharon]

Exactly, since when can a person be questioned under oath about something they have not read?

I wonder if the commission has an email or phone #.

[BluH2o]

Earlier there was a post showing a copy of Clarke's letter of resignation to Bush, back in january 2003, which was highly complimentary on Bush's handling of the war on terrorism. Has anyone seen this post lately ... can't find it in search.

[alisasny]

The media is doing anything to keep Kerrys voting record out of the news and anything 911 related has that reaction. This 911 commission and Clarke story will be short lived. I find it comical that people are shelling out money for this book instead of donating that money to Kerry. Also worth noting how the commission is using the book as fact. I find that rather alarming.

"Maybe he's a girlie-man who as a crush on W! Just kidding, but the guy is like....two Different people. He has said everything BOTH ways!! Weird."

Ah, are you talking about Richard Clarke here, or John Effing Kerry?

[Fiddlstix]

Bump

[Hoboken]

That Dick Clarke, former cyber-terrorism czar, never heard of google or Lexus-Nexus?

[TomGuy]

The Clarke letter on Thesmokinggun.com:

[section9]

Something will probably break detailing a meeting between Clarke and the Kerry crowd, or a directive from Kerry himself about this.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[areafiftyone]

Yes I find that dispicable too that they are using Clarke's book as a bible when they had hundreds of documents given to them by the White House to use and instead they are using someone who actually got demoted as an expert witness.

[umgud]

To the nation at large, Clarke is a nobody, and his book would never have made a blip on the radar screen had it not been derogatory of Bush. I certainly hope the media gets a black eye over promoting this work.

[Steve_Seattle]

Any commission that has a partisan hack like Richard Ben Veniste as a member has no credibility with me. I still remember his derisive "So what?" mantra during the Watergate hearings as he tried to underplay the seriousness of various unethical practices by Clintonistas.

[Forrestfire]

I thought that was " Don't count your Hatch before he chickens."

[cripplecreek]

One thing i was happy to see was Bob Kerrey shouting that it's a good thing the clinton administration plans are classified because theres virtually nothing there.
