Miles O'Brien.. "He was a young guy.. That's the END of it?"..(Ahhhnold)

[SoCalDem]

How benevolent of him.. He said .."It was 26 years ago..".. Amazing how they hounded the Clintons over Whitewater.. That was waaaaaay in the past too..
:eyes:


Boy ...that double standard is sure rearing its ugle head....hourly :(

1. Who the hell is Miles O'Brien?

(other than Enetrprise Transporter Chief)

On the other hand, I'm not sure I want to know. Just another "Animal Farm" moment that has become depressingly commonplace.

God, Imperial Amerika makes me sick. I miss the Old Democratic-Republic.

[SoCalDem]

2. He "used" to be the science reporter for CNN...got canned

and now he's baaaaack.. It's just so sad that they are giving Ahhhhnold a pass..

If Rob Reiner had the same past as Ahhhnold, and HE had declared for the election. they would be all over the story, like maggots on a carcass..:(

6. I Can't See Rob Reiner In A "Train"

[zbdent]

13. Didn't he run the transporter on ST:TNG

before he became the engineer on ST: DS9?

[movonne]

3. Yes!!!Who is Miles O'Brien...Just came on and thought I missed something

on one of the other threads.

[SoCalDem]

5. He fills in for other "prompter readers"

..He's good on the science/space stuff, but away from that venue, he's just another "reader"..

4. Why do repukes always think adulthood starts at age 40? n/t

[alcuno]

8. Except if you are a 14 year old black boy in Florida

Then you are an adult.

[Skittles]

12. EXCELLENT ALCUNO

great point

[David Zephyr]

15. Ouch! Excellent Observaton, Alcuno

:hi:

[prolesunited]

7. What I would like to do

(if I had time, of course) is amass a whole collection of pundits excusing Repugs for illegal, immoral, unethical or scandalous behavior, indexed according to indiscretion and complete with citations.

Then, when a Dem commits a similar offense, we can pull the quote and cite chapter and verse that they said such and such on this occasion.

I already can see Tucker sputtering. :evilgrin:

[SoCalDem]

9. It would always be "different" somehow

I guess people are just so wrapped up in their own ideology, that they have no comparative skills anymore..

I see the conservative movement as willing to overlook ANY flaws in their "chosen ones", yet UNABLE to overlook ANYTHING that someone not in their little group, does..

It's very disconcerting.. I do NOT advoctae bad behavior, but neither do I expect MY opinion to be the guiding force in how people behave..

That's where Dems & conservattacks differ:)

[Terwilliger]

10. to whom is he referring?

what incident 26 years ago?

[SoCalDem]

11. Ahhhhnold's orgy and drug use

:)

[Terwilliger]

16. hah!

That's right...because all leopards simply change their spots.

Personally, I have no problem with AHH-nold engaging in group sex. If he could do that and be an effective administrator as well, more power to him. Fact is, there's nothing under the hood.

14. And Henry Hyde was older at the

time of his "youthful indiscretion" than Bill Clinton was at the time of his impeachment for a "treasonous sex act".
