Live discussion and comments about Bush's speech to the U.N. today, and the reaction to it.

[Howlin]

Now we await Mr. Ritter's appearance on Fox News at 1.

Any bets on how long into his interview he begins to spit?

[Mo1]

Looks like they took a large amount off his face

[NautiNurse]

Looks like the only one Little Tommy has to fall back on now is Bob Dole! Can we get Bob on the train -- as though it really matters?

Why Daschle is prolonging the obvious and hurting his own caucus is beyond me... GWB has him by the short hairs... he is not going to escape a vote without paying a severe political price... he should just have the vote and get it out of the way... RATs must be terrified by the impact from the far left, or Daschle is just plain stupid. Anybody have thoughts?

[Darlin']

Soon, very soon.

Now we await Mr. Ritter's appearance on Fox News at 1.

OH GOOD GRIEF ... I don't know if I'm strong enough for this

It's been a rough couple days

[AmericanInTokyo]

It does indeed appear that Mr. Daschle has been seized by the testicles on this one. :-)

[Mo1]

LOL .. you're bad

[Carolinamom]

I vote for stupid. Amazing, isn't it, that this little napoleon thinks that he's somebody?

[Dog]

Daschle brings PORK to South Dakota......that is why they re-elect him.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Thank God, I have finally caught up to the thread. Nice job Howlin. I heard the speech, but didn't see a d-mn thing because I couldn't read this and watch the TV. Based on everything I have heard and read, it looks like we are attacking Iraq during the new moon in October (that is my position in the Attack Pool). McCain's remark that the Senate needs to vote before they recess, so that they won't be debating AFTER the fact seems to seal it. Since I didn't see him, did his appearance suggest that the cancer has metastisized?

[Ipberg]

There's no better way to complete my six hours of September 11 documentaries on one videocassette than with President Bush's address to the United Nations this morning! The title of his speech should've been "Let's Roll!".

[Howlin]

You better get in shape; we have a LOT of politics and election coverage coming up!

[Dog]

Who wants to bet me ......Ritter loses it on air??

Totally loses it..

[Howlin]

You'll have to ask NautiNurse for a better medical description. She's our resident expert.

I still stand by my prediction that Bush is trying to get them to mount a coup in Iraq, and that there'll be no war. Even today he drew the line between Saddam and everybody else.

And the truth of the matter is: if Saddam himself goes, the country will dissolve in power struggles.

[MeekOneGOP]

I'm in meetings all day. I have my laptop but won't be able to reply since it will be obvious I'm not paying attention to the meeting. LOL.

Parting thoughts...

Screw the UN!

Here was a behind the scenes shot that I think you wouldn't want to miss (Bart alert !).......

To Kofi Annan with love,

Bart

[Wingsofgold]

Guess daasshole shudda listened when Bush did his I'm GOIN TA BAGDAD 'n slammed the d@mned UN door behind himself, speech. Hehehehehee.

[Darlin']

You're agreeing with my reply to dog ? :) I know that was what you meant :)

[Carolinamom]

I'm counting on it! Interesting like a watching a snake.....from some distance. LOL
