I guess even if you were good looking years ago frowning and nagging all the time will eventually give up off bad vibes and it's now showing it this old gas bag.
LOL...well he has logic down.
Interesting observation. It would confirm what anita posted.
Anita, do you have more info on this??
Thanks.

As usual you are probably right.
Very subtle! LOL!
Somebody should tell Osama not to put his large hands so close to the camera. It gives a very odd dimension to his total appearance. Or is the cameraman using some kind of unflattering lens?
No negotiation or agreement is warranted or necessary, just unconditional surrender or death.
The fact that our own country cannot even agree on the ROE and the status of the captured enemy...and even what to CALL them....tells us the the whole country can NOT even pretend this is a war like any other that has been fought.
It is asymetrical warfare with a non-state actor. Our political leadership and media need to do a better job of explaining the nature of the conflict. Unfortunately, the Dems and MSM are more interested in using the "war" for domestic political advantage than victory. Our long term national interests are less important than getting elected and controlling the levers of political power.
;-)
For sure.
Great!
Sad and even sadder in one respect but good in another one so young realises the fundamental differences.
Carl Levin is on CNN...
Wolfie played a part of Bush's speech, when he explains that if we don't succeed in Iraq, and leave before victory...that country and the ME would suffer deaths and carnage the likes that we have never seen...
Levin told Wolf that it is the US, sending more troops in, that would CAUSE that and WORSE..and if we don't start drawing down our troops it will be WORSE than Bush's scenario.
He is a pathetic, pathetic man....
He is also saying that they should only need a one vote majority to pull the plug on Bush's plans...that NO 60 vote majority should be used...LOL
In a way that is also true in Britain a Conservative from leafy Tonbridge Wells or the Shirers would be vastly different from one from an urban city area but probably not as different as in the US.
Only watch the talk shows where Vice President Dick Cheney is featured, then switch to cartoons (or, in playoff season, ESPN).
After just watching the VP on FNS, I've reaffirmed my opinion that the only reason for our 2006 election loses was a Republican failure to counter the RAT Propaganda Machine's focused attack on this administration's War on Terror.
If Dick Cheney alone had been booked opposite every one of the RAT talking heads preceding the election, we would have won the election, and wouldn't be in our current position of possibly losing the war on terror due to lack of political will.
While it's the correct position to "do the right thing", not "follow public opinion polls", and "think long term in to war on terror", it's also true that elections are won or lost by public opinion.
Therefore, the strategy for winning elections is not to stray from the correct political positions, it is to change public opinion about those positions.
Dick Cheney could have done that single handedly.
It may seem like a waste to assign someone as talented as Dick Cheney to the task, but what's more important than having the nation behind you in a time of war, and having the political power at home to win that war?
I'm not saying he should have appeared on shows like Okra, et al, that should be a mandatory requirement for Freshmen Congressional Republicans.
But he should have been out there on every other media venue of consequence, stating the facts, calmly informing the sheeple of the dangers of losing this war, in his logical, levelheaded way.
Oops, Chris Berman is screaming, yet again, on my TV, gotta find the remote and switch to cartoons before I throw a brick at his fat yap.
With the press I would not wonder at anything the only thing in this case I thought he was their darling.
Yes he is cool as a cucumber, and isn't going to say anything that he does not plan to, but I wish he could stop that talking out of the side of his mouth.
But that's not going to ever happen.
