AWOL, the gift that keeps on giving. Good stuff in this article on low approval ratings and skipping the physical too!

1. Scotty, how far ye have fallen...

"I think we just very recently received some additional documents, but I'm not sure if any of those documents are new. We're going to take a look at those," said White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

"Oh, look at what we just found! Right next to the missing WMDs!"

Puleeeez!

9. "I'm not sure if any of those documents are new"?????

I'm not sure we just made them up, IOW!

10. "We're going to take a look at those" translates to...

"We're waiting for the ink to dry."

4. And now...just to keep Ashcroft

...busy and happy and fully occupied with his obsessions - set him on the trail of the alleged Texas abortion.

13. Yeah, and let's also start asking why he had to change his drivers license

number.

And keep on asking, and asking, and asking WHY he did community service at Project PULL. Helen Thomas brought this one out there today:

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/

But look at this testy exchange this morning about whether the president was required to perform community service during the time he was in the Guard ...

Q: Did the President ever have to take time off from Guard duty to do community service?
Scott McClellan: To do community service? I haven't looked into everything he did 30 years ago, Helen. Obviously, there is different community service he has performed in the past, including going back to that time period --

Q: Can you find out if he actually had --

Scott McClellan: Helen, I don't think we remember every single activity he was involved in 30 years ago.

Q: No, this isn't an activity. Was he forced to do community service at any time while he was on --

<snip> Helen asks the question *about TEN more times*!!, then this:

Q: I asked you whether he had to do any community service while he was in the National Guard.

Scott McClellan: Can I walk through this?

Q: It's a very legitimate question.

Scott McClellan: And I want to back up and walk through this a little bit. Let's talk about the issue that came up, because this issue came up four years ago, it came up four years before that -- or two years before that, it came up four years before that --

Q: Did my question come up four years ago, and was it handled?

Scott McClellan: Helen, if you'll let me finish, I want to back up and talk about this --

Q: Don't dance around, just give us --

Q: It's a straightforward question.

Q: Let's not put too fine a point on it. If I'm not mistaken, you're implying that he had to do community service for criminal action, as a punishment for some crime?

Q: There are rumors around, and I didn't put it in that way. I just --

Q: Could you take that question? I guess apparently that's the question, that he had to take time out to perform community service --

Scott McClellan: That's why I wanted to get to this because --

Q: -- as a sentence for a crime.

Scott McClellan: No, that's why I wanted to get to this because I want to step back for a second. I want to go back through a few things. Look, the -- I think we've really exhausted the issue that came up. The issue that came up was related to whether or not he had served while he was in Alabama. Records have documented as false the outrageous, baseless accusation that he did not serve while in Alabama. The conspiracy theory of one individual, that the National Guard cleansed documents, has been discredited.



YEE-HAWWWW!

5. Bad news does not go well with this WH I see. They are un-hinged.

:smoke:

[salinen]

6. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House said on Friday it has received addi

So if it looks good, we release, if bad, we won't. Hey that satisfies me totally.

[NNN0LHI]

7. How many times have they turned everything over now? n/t

[9215]

14. Scotty's angle on that

is the WH is recieving info on a continuous basis. That's what he said in reply to Robert's. :eyes:

[boobooday]

8. It's been a joy

To hear the WH press corps finally ask some real questions.

All the Vietnam vets I know are very interested in how this turns out.

W is going down . . . down to Crawford, to live out the rest of his life like Nixon -- in shame, and a constant butt of jokes.

And he can take the whole fam damily with him! Stop by Florida and give Jebbie a ride!

muhahahahaha

11. Could these be the microfiche documents

from Denver or St. Louis, the ones that could not have been doctored?

12. Do what ALL other candidates have done, Chimpy, and release the ENTIRE

GODDAM FILE!!

15. He got arrested for cocaine didn't he?

He really did. I cannot believe the luck. And John Kerry has all the dirt from his senate investigation too! And they think God is on their side? Not.

16. Anyone heard of W's temper tantrum in the mid-80's

Supposedly, W didn't like his seats at an All-Star game that his daddy was a guest at and reamed out Craig Fuller in public. Richard Ben Cramer wrote about this in "What it Takes".

Also, Al Hunt can tell about another profanity filled tantrum W gave him and his wife Judy Woodruff and their children at a restaurant in the early 90's.

Does W have an anger management problem?
