Shocking, AV! I’m putting up a separate thread .. unbelievable!!!

Maica; Chuck54 posted a link to the video; apparently Katie did NOT say Propaganda (although I could have sworn she did), after listening to the video she only IMPLIED propaganda, although she implied it so clearly that I must have interpreted it to state propaganda. I even watched the video and watched her lips to see if CBS had edited the remark. But alas, I got it wrong, apparently. She didn’t say it, but she clearly meant it, none the less.

[maica]

snugs, I have not even heard one commentator ask that question. It seems that the Federal Government listening for terrorists talking to each other to make plans to destroy parts of our country and thousands of citizens is to be condemned, but the release of a police interrogation is deemed a-ok because it is salacious and involves a Republican.

OoooHHhh what a feast!!

This essay by Tony Snow is a one of a kind. It just doesn't get any better.

Here is just a slice of his brilliant mind:

Finally we can let love change everything. When Jesus was faced with the prospect of Crucifixion he grieved not for himself but for us.....,

We get repeated chances to learn that life is not about us.....

Sickness.... gives us a chance to serve the healthy

What a terrific guy, no matter where he goes or what he does it will be an experience for every one around him to share in.

[bray]

Thanks snugs, rodguy, glad you liked it.

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[CMailBag]

I only wish that Tony could afford to run for and win
Warner’s Senate seat. Upchuck would have a fit.

[rodguy911]

There is a set of expectations about Republican behavior, and when a Republican falls below those standards, that Republican has to go. ON the other hand, Dems have no standards....

Brilliant!! Great stuff Bernard! This is the stuff that we need people like Rush and Hannity to keep hammering on so the public finally gets it.

[altura]

I totally agree with you about the timing of the publicity about Craig.

It’s like they have a big file of scandals and just pull one out to distract when a scandal comes out on Hillary or some other dem.

On the other hand, sick person that I am, I did listen to the tape of his conversation with the policeman and it was way creepy.

Foley did not do anything wrong, if you proclaim, as the dems do, that homosexuality is not wrong.

He had his eye on some young men, but was careful to wait until they were ‘of age’ to approach them. He certainly didn’t rape them or use his power to seduce them.

He wasn’t nearly as bad as Clinton, but then, who is (sexually).

I’m sure Clinton is still ‘doing it’ because men get worse with age and I’m sure he is bored and has time on his hands (and girls in his arms)

Anglela McGlowan made an appearance on c-Spam this morning and it was the absolute best of any of the Sunday shows even though some may have missed it.

Here is a quote courtesy of Starwise from Angela's wisdom;

For 50 years liberals have conned and used blacks, Latinos and Women into supporting an agenda that sells them out and betrays their values. We've(Angela is black) become the dupes of the Democrat party. Liberals have gotten away with their civil rights shell game for too long. They've boxed blacks, Latinos and women in their predetermined pens because without a strange hold on these three groups dems can't win elections. So I decided to call them what they are:BAMBOOZLERS

Here is a lady that literally has it all,the best there is.

[rodguy911]

Wow now there is an idea.

[Laverne]

Angela appears occasionally on FNC as a commentator. Her appearances are far and few between and I hope she starts getting out more and more. She was terrific this morning; too bad she was only on for half an hour.

[STARWISE]

And she's beautiful to boot. I sure hope we see more of her on the watched shows .. the country needs her sense and reason, if they'll only unblock their eyes, ears and logic and listen. What a great gal to have on our side.

She was featured in Washington Life on the occasion of her marriage .. don't know how long ago.

Town Hall blurb about Angela

Bold book

In the words of Angela McGlowan, who was feted Tuesday night at Finemondo Italian restaurant on F Street, the liberal "script" never changes: the Democratic Party is the party of racial freedom and equality.

"Just ask them," writes the black founder and president of the District-based public relations and government affairs firm Political Strategies and Insights, in her new book, "Bamboozled: How Americans Are Being Exploited by the Lies of the Liberal Agenda."

Mrs. McGlowan, who has appeared everywhere from the stage of Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect" show to the pages of Jet, takes particular aim at the Democratic National Committee, which contends it has led the fight "on every civil rights issue." She considers the statement "so brazenly false that one wonders where to even begin in dismantling it."

A black leader she does praise for his "intellectual honesty" is Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr., Illinois Democrat, who once observed there is "no doubt that the Democratic Party is the party of the Confederacy; historically, that the Democratic Party's flag is the Confederate flag."

"She makes bold statements, but they are backed up by facts," the author's husband, John Venners, remarked at his wife's crowded book party. Case in point: The pastor of a black church in Memphis, Tenn., recently invited his wife to speak to his congregation, and told her to "bring 500 of your books with you."

As for stepping on so many toes -- from politicians and absentee fathers to high-school dropouts and drug dealers -- Mrs. McGlowan told Inside the Beltway: "Are you asking me if this is all worth it? This book contains my dream, and the whole reason for writing it is to spread this dream to as many people as possible."

[Chuck54]

No need to apologize Laverne. I have watched the video several times and anyone watching can tell she meant exactly; "propaganda".

Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit linked the video also with his usual wry sense of humor.

KATIE COURIC: If I report good news, it must mean I'm gullible! Er, or something like that.

cloakroom phone numbers:

R 202 224 6101
D 202 224 4691

I have called them during heated debates, and asked the clerk/page who answers the phone to pass a message to ... who may have just been on cspan.
Generally it was just words of thanks and praise for good fighters like Senators Cornyn and Sessions.

***MICHAEL VICK ALERT***

Photo Change Idea....

In one stall, a set of men's shoes, and in the other stall, a Doberman tapping HIS paw...just then, the Doberman looks under the stall and bares his teeth!

[Sal]

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. I've been off-line for quite a few hours and as soon as I can track down the blog report on the cop and his underling, I'll give you the link.

Meantime, I agree with you about this being a set up BIG TIME whether Craig is pure as the driven snow or otherwise.

I think we were all lucky that Her Heinous badly needed a news diversion RIGHT NOW.

Otherwise I believe the Craig story was on hold for use in the coming election kind of like the Foley thing that--despite their great concern for the poor little pages--the Rats sat on for quite a few months for maximum political impact.

The cop told Craig that if he copped to the misdemeanor, it didn't need to go any further--basically nobody needed to know. In fairness to the cop, whether he deserves it or not TBD, he may not have been in on setting Craig up politically. It's possible that he prefers to scare people out of getting it on in bathrooms on his watch. It's possible that's all he was trying to do and not at all unlikely IMO that scum like CREW or Hillary's operation found it simply by tracking anybody they had any kind of possible lead on.

BTW IF the cop was doing that, I'm not against it. Imagine one of your kids somewhere between 8 and 13 say going into a bathroom and finding a couple going at it--and I don't care if it's two guys in the mens room or a hetero couple in the ladies. I'm not against the sting per se, just the way it was run and the set up that resulted.

The fact that the cop pulled the trigger before he really had Craig pinned on anything that would hold up in court could indicate that all he really wanted was to stop such activity, or he realized he wasn't going to get anything more useful and settled for what he could get ... OR it's possible that he was in on the set up from the get go.

I do understand why someone in Craig's position would plead out to a misdemeanor just to keep it out of the news because of all the accusations that had gone before and the newspaper's ongoing vendetta against him.

However, IMO Craig sounds like the kid whose mother asks him what happened to the cookies she just baked and he's got all kinds of improbable excuses why he couldn't be the one who ate them.

The wide stance so wide that he touches shoes with the next stall. I've been in some pretty small stalls and never touched feet. Never been in that airport, but some Freeper who had said they're not that small. I don't know.

Saying the reason he put his hand under the stall wall to pick up paper off the floor--I could buy this one if he had dropped a paper of his own (say a scrap he'd written down with a phone # or email etc. on), but he didn't say that because there was no such piece of paper for him to show. Who picks up random paper on a public toilet floor in somebody else's occupied stall?

It's not proof and I wouldn't convict on it, but I don't find him believable on it. And I'm usually a contrarian too.

[Bernard]

The fact that the cop pulled the trigger before he really had Craig pinned on anything that would hold up in court could indicate that all he really wanted was to stop such activity, or he realized he wasn't going to get anything more useful and settled for what he could get ...

Or, the cop just wanted to hit a quota.

[rodguy911]

We are working on that as you speak.

[rodguy911]

Wonderful post Star! Thanks so much! Hope to hear about her on every talk show there is next week.(If we have anything to say about it)
