And you are worthy of trust here at FR being a member as of today? HA!....i saw the article before they butchered it and it indeed said Bush... Its BIAS and you are stoooooopid (according to your alias)

They could easily have solved it by changing one word: "Bush" becomes "Clinton". They didnt.

Good catch.

Last evening I was channel surfing and happened to come across MSNBC and the Brian Williams' newscast. He had a republican and a democrat "debating" pre-Sept 11. I just happened to hit the issue of the First Lady's remarks re the alleged "warnings." No name was attached to the First Lady. As the no-name First Lady was mentioned, a picture of -- guess who -- was flashed on the screen. Yep, hitlary. Deliberate? Or not deliberate? You be the judge...

He did comment on it, and said it was untrue and that they were playing politics! Cheney said it even stronger, for which the libs are now bashing him, and even some conservatives! What do people want huh?

[ladyinred]

Is the Washington Post wishful thinking, hoping they can blame Dubya for all that is wrong in the country? Is it his fault Monica was ah, sharing a sink with Bubba? Did W know about Pearl Harbor in advance too?
I had no idea that President GW Bush was in office in the late 90's! Must've been watching too much Oprah at the time!

[Jeff Chandler]

Yeah, have you noticed how all references in the news pertaining to the Clinton years refer to "the President" without mentioning Clinton? This is a blatant coordinated effort on the part of the Dems/press to take Bush down.

[Jeff Chandler]

$(rew the critics! They need to come out swinging HARD, over and over again, come right out and publicly chastise these snakes. Name names, revoke White House press privileges, point out over and over to the public how despicable these Clymers are. This is the battle of Midway. The Dems think they can turn the tide of public opinion, but if the Bush people show some real teeth this is the moment they can DESTROY them.

In sports, in war, and in politics there is a characteristic common to champions called the KILLER INSTINCT. It's the ability to sense your oponent's weakness and the right moment to exploit it. NOW is that moment, and this attack is the Dems' weakness.

[ladyinred]

I am surprised they said anything! I just read another thread that had Hillary on the offensive explaining her remarks after a White House statement seemed to refer to her speech in the Senate.
I want to see the Pubbies in congress doing exactly what you said they should be doing too, but even if they are, do they get press time?
You usually hear the soundbite of those who are attacking Bush, then the "newsreader" may refer to some comment from a Pubbie!
Put me on the radio or TV, I will happy to respond to these snakes!

[Jeff Chandler]

I wish I could put you on the air. I'm too angry. I'd just make a fool out of myself.

[sjeann]

I saw that too! It was pretty weird, just like the article earlier today.

[Jeff Chandler]

W needs to cut them off at the knees! No more kissy-face with vipers. Damn it, he's got the public support, now use it to turn the table! If he lets them get away with this without extracting a heavy price, it's Katey bar the door. This is the Bork nomination. Once they got away with that, there was no limit to their depravity.

[Jeff Chandler]

The Dems smell blood. He can't let this one go.

[ladyinred]

I agree! I called the White House comment line and emailed and asked that he do that very thing! I don't care if he is called mean spirited or not!

BTW: Didn't you used to be an actor? :)

[Jeff Chandler]

I'm not an actor, nor do I play one on TV.

[SkyPilot]

...the Washington Post reported that in the year 1288, Chief of the Wallace Clan Bush (pictured center below) ignored intelligence threats that King Edward "The Longshanks" was planning an ambush at Falkirk....

[BJClinton]

I want to make a joke about a full moon...nah, I'm going to bed.

[Indiana Girl]

To borrow from the Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil", didn't Bush hang around St. Petersburg, kill the czar and his family...Anastastia screamed in vain.
