A Tear Falls, But President Holds Tightly to His Image (gag alert)

The New York Times ^ | 9/11/2002 | Caryn James

[Miss Marple]

Yes. Her son's first name was Christian, and he was a rookie fireman.

I really am sorry for her loss, because her son sounds like a wonderful person.

She, however, has been corrupted by the thought that she must BLAME someone here in the USA. It is the TERRORISTS who did this, not Guiliani, or Pataki, or Bush, or the building codes. It is the TERRORISTS who killed her son.

Yeah I know and DESPITE that, the American people still favor going after Iraq and support our President. The networks and the liberal press can go to h*ll. I hope their ratings continue to tank.

I'm sorry for her loss also of a beloved son, but she sounds very bitter. I've rumblings about the radios not working at WTC. BUt it is an absolute miracle that 3000 people were killed that morning in NYC. The death toll could have been much, much higher. I do not plan on watching network TV this evening, except for the interview of President Bush on CBS. I really wish the TV channels would have just rebroadcast their programming from a year ago, interspersed with the memorials and President Bush's speech.

It should be no suprise that the media and dim-o-socialists (joined at the brain)are taking the position favored by Saddam. Just as they took the positions favored by Stalin, Breshnev,Castro, et al.

They are simply continuing to operate under the philosophy that the "enemy (the terrorists) of my enemy (Bush) is my friend"

[Wait4Truth]

I have to applaud Miss Marple! If I had any booze in the house, I'd be having a drink myself! As cynical as I am about the media, even I did not think they would trash him today of all days. I wish a million people would email Jennings!

[Wait4Truth]

The President is also giving a speech to the nation tonight, right after the CBS interview. Keep your TV on long enough to hear him, OK? :-)

[goodnesswins]

Just wait for tonight.....I think it's CBS, at the end of their "program" is going to have a gabfest by their talking heads (Chung, Brown, BABa, etc.) about HOW 9-11 affected THEIR year - I heard RUSH talking about this during my walk. Want to see NARCISSISTS in action? - just watch that!
I'll be here on FR, thank you!!!!!!!!!!

And, tonight I think I'll will join you in a drink, Miss Marple....(I don't drink much anymore - allergies)....but tonight my husband and I will toast our FINE MEN AND WOMEN in the ARMED SERVICES and our GROWN-UP ADMINISTRATION!!! Hey, maybe everyone on the Dose should raise a toast at a pre-determined time....where's Rintense...????? I'll give her that idea.

[Utah Girl]

Thanks for the heads up! I have to work, but I did put a tape in to tape the interview, and I made it run longer, so I should get the speech taped also.

[rintense]

Oh I'll be there- but a little late tonight. It's our golf banquet and the booze is free!

[Wphile]

I'll be there too but I will be late - probably won't be on until about 7:30 p.m. so don't do the toast until after that!
