9/11 mtg with Bush/Cheney - 2 Dems left early ?!?!
Is this news new? On CNN's Aaron Brown, David Gergen says two Dems left the 9/11 with Bush and Cheney with over an hour left. Kerrey and the vice-Chair, I think.

No reason given yet. Gergen was very disturbed.

What's up? Protest over answers? Or legit appointments? Hard to believe they didn't clear their schedules for the day...

1. Or were they "dismissed" or forced to leave?
Given that there's NO TRANSCRIPT for a pertinent testimony over the deaths of 3000 people, we'll never know. And Clinton was forced to testify ABOUT A BLOWJOB! The inmates are running the asylum.

2. A quote from the Yahoo story...
"Two members, Kerrey and Lee Hamilton, the vice chairman, left the Oval Office early because of what they said were prior commitments."

And Yahoo is usually on our side so it sounds like they left on their own to go do something else. Can't imagine what would be more important though!?!?!

3. Sounds like it was getting deep
meaning the shit coming out of the Bush/Cheney mouth. So Kerrey and the vice-Chair may have left early? Very interesting turn of events. Oh to be a fly on the wall.

5. Supposedly they had meetings elsewhere, but that sounds
like a pretty lame excuse. I mean how many times are they going to have a chance to interview these bastards about 9/11? I wonder what the real story is?

6. It was so nice to hear that bush enjoyed himself so much!
It must have been a very pleasant experience to recount the failures of his administration and the devastating tragedy of 9/11. He came out strutting like a peacock!!! I hope Cheney washed his hand after bush got off his lap!!

Disgusting . . .

9. "2001 was a great year for Laura and me!"
* said this during a long interview at the end of his first year. Pickles was sitting next to him with her best Xanax smile.

"This testimony ain't nuthin' but shit!" ;)

8. shows the non-gravitas aura of the meeting-assuming they
had already set up their appointments and didn't walk out, they didn't view the content as anything to be taken particularly seriously and thus, not a problem with missing.
