1. Great article...one for the old...

print and pass out category. And I think I am going to pass out a few today myself!

2. Thanks for that video clip. I'll pass it on.

But can anyone here direct me to the original footage of Bush yucking it up at that affair? One of my rcollections of it was Joe Lieberman laughing appreciatively at Duby's "humor" (like the "Good Sport" he is). I lost the original link, and have been unable to Google it again.

6. is this not the dinner where he began with

"the Haves and the Have Mores"? the room is filled with the most despicable in our country.

10. No that was a different dinner

that happened a few years ago.

11. No, that dinner was long before this one (nt)

7. Originally, that ad showed Lieberman, but they changed that

section to Tom DeLay.

I don't have a link to video of the actual event.

20. Thanks.

I forgot what key words I used to Google, but I came up with far too many hits. (I'm still learning how to Google). This is precisely the version I had been looking for: http://www.musicforamerica.org/bushjoke

In the search,I also came upon this interesting site: http://www.peacecandy.com/gwbush/ I haven't checked it out yet, but I'll do so shortly.

4. I hope this video is Exhibit A at the Impeachment Hearings!

His arrogance is appalling!

5. I'm emailing this column to Milbank

and ask him if his article slamming Conyers was the admission price to Bush's "dinners".

[Eric J in MN]

9. What is his email address? nt

13. My God, those are some sick people. And they control the media.

14. powerful stuff

he paints a great picture

16. Awesome link, thank you. We raised a stink here at the time, FWIW. n/t

17. this article makes a great point

it's repulsive to see the press being such sycophants.

Milbank's jocularity (and E&P makes a good point about his not mentioning Sheehan's presence) reminds me of all of Rummy's laugh-riot press briefings, where he lied in the reporters' faces and they were all tickled as can be about it. :puke:

[DemonFighterLives]

18. Geat picture

of the happy killers. Those shock and awe briefings were something else.
I'm thinking heartless!

19. That Proves Just How Much Press Will Suck Up To

this administration - unless they are truly twisted and found his tasteless video to be funny.
