Kimmitt just fainted during the Iraq briefing.
Edited on Sat Apr-17-04 08:40 AM by chimpymustgo
"Get him out of the room - it's really embarassing", says the unnamed voice, before CNN anchor breaks in.

(edited for spelling)

4. On the last question he just slumped over. . .

6. Ari Fleischer fainted at an event for him at his H.S. (Westchester?)
What a bunch of fainters!

Did anyone in the Clinton administration ever faint?

As for it being embarrassing, don't worry. It's only embarrassing if the media spins it, and the media never spins to hurt the Bush administration. I'm probably one of 200 people in the entire country who remembers that Fleischer fainted.

9. Lying is very stressful, particularly if you do it 100% of the time.

Yes, after hot lusty sex. In the bush administration they don't let it get to that. They don't want to mess up their hair.

15. Strong Military Guy
You know this guy has the facts of Fallujah. Those facts are enough to make even the strongest Military faint.

Add in the probability that the man knows the troops face a possible slaughter, and who could continue the charade?

Unless we get impeachment going soon, a military coup may be our last hope. God forbid, but with Diebold etc., what other chance do we have?

18. Speaking of Poppy hurling on the Japanese PM...
anyone have a clip of that? I saw it once, and then it seemed scrubbed from the public record.

Watched Kimmit collapse. Pretty shocking. Wish I'd been doing screen captures at the time.

16. that's what they said - embarrassing?
I think it would be embarrassing to be caught saying something so cold and utterly devoid of concern for a fellow human being.
