[Kathy in Cambridge]

1. You must be a Stephanie Miller listener

:hi:

She's hilarious!

[unhappycamper]

2. I confess. Ya got me pegged. n/t

[KeepItReal]

3. Puffy is going "Hemispheric" on CAFTA win

ugh!

[Mandate My Ass]

4. energy bill, CAFTA, move forward cutting deficit, SS

Congress on verge of passing comprhensive energy bill. Ahead of schedule to cut deficit in half, spending restraint in congress. Chairman thos and grassley moving on SS. Economy remains strong.

appreciate strong recption Roberts has received.


count the lies!

[Mandate My Ass]

5. pres outlined proposal for legislation put us on a path to reduce

not rely on foreign oil sources. Will improve reliability of electricity.

Impordend legislation.

[Mandate My Ass]

6. Anything to give americans relief for high gas prices?

SM: WE didn't get into this overnight, not going to get out of it overnight.

So, IOW, no f***ing way.

[aden_nak]

7. Scott is very absorbant.

[jillan]

10. lol!

great picture:P

[Mandate My Ass]

8. This administration is active

No shit, Scottie.

[Mandate My Ass]

9. discussing NK, No mention of nuke free peninschula yet

Busting on Helen about grumbling.

No intention of negotiating bilateral agreement. They violated 1994 framework.

[Mandate My Ass]

11. Helen: why rejecting possibility of negotiations. they are going on

SM< All parties talking. All want to see nuke free peninshcula!

Hleen: you're so afraid....

SM: cut her off and called on somebody else.

[ScamUSA.Com]

12. this just gets more futile by the day

Taking bets on how long Scotty will be around.

[Mandate My Ass]

13. REcess appt for Roberts?

He deserves an up or down vote.

Release of documents to certain members of Senate?

SM: Sen leahy said it's impordend for american people have information available to american public. Both sides of teh aisle recognize this is confidential deliberative process. Atty/Client privelege.

[aden_nak]

21. My side of the aisle doesn't recognize SHIT.

If anyone was a "client" in most of those examples, it was the American Government/People. So let us in on the privelege and hand over the goods.

P.S. That was aimed at Scott, of course.

[bunny planet]

14. so Scottie's real job is just to lie, obfusgate, omit, and bullshit in

general. What a gig.

[deminks]

18. If you repeat a lie often enough...

Scotty McMuffin's job is to catapult the propaganda.

[NewJeffCT]

15. summary for the cuberats, please

Thanks!

[unhappycamper]

16. Puffy's looking a bit frazzled. Hasn't even got ONE lousy treason

question yet.

[bunny planet]

17. Listen to this BULLSHIT.

[Tommymac]

19. Quack Quack !!!!

Simple Scotty.

[Mandate My Ass]

20. Preconceived plan of attack on president'snominee

Whatever we did they'd say we didn't consult enough.

Whoever nominee was , would paint as extreme. Judge Robts comes from mainstream values. Open-minded,,, imparital.

The people in Senate and ppl paying attention rekinize he's a mainstream jurist.

He beieves in judicial restraint.

Third part of stragey: Whatever documents provided were not sufficient. Tjat is line of attack they are pursuing. Expedited release of documents. Dem sens making unreasonable requests. Not reasonable to get from Sol General's office.

[bunny planet]

22. No Scottie, the specific relevant documents on Roberts have been held

back. It's not 'appropriate' for you to continue to lie to the American people from your little podium.

[Mandate My Ass]

23. comprehensive border security but also demand for willing workers

IOW, we want people here who will drive wages down.

[Mandate My Ass]

24. Shuttle talk ... blah blah

Continuing to look at the data. Wish the crew success and they are continuing to move forward.

Jesus, any excuse to say "move forward" and scottie's all over it?

[bunny planet]

25. Gawd, I hope they ask Chummy McSharkbait about the Treasongate

scandal regardless of his lame 'ongoing investigation' standard answer. If only they would realize it keeps it on the record, makes him look more and more like he's lieing, which he is, and keeps the story on simmer. But of course, this is the poodle press I'm talking about, except for a few choice brave ones among them.

[Mandate My Ass]

26. Iranian pres involved in Iran hostage crisis?

SM: we know he was a leader in student mvmt involved in taking of American hostages. Continue to look into.

What info looking into?

SM: all we know at this point.

If he was a leader, what does it matter if he was actually involved?

SM: again there were people who were hostage takers and we're looking into that.

Any photos?

SM: it's all we know at this point.

[Mandate My Ass]

27. strong consensus for repubs for CAFTA, only 15 dems

have to start asking wehre are free trade centrist democrats?

[Cocoa]

41. did he actually say consensus?

a one-vote margin is consensus?

[bunny planet]

28. Ellen Ratner asking a question now. She's great. Reports on Thom Hartmans

show after the press briefings.

[bunny planet]

29. Snottie got very testy when Treasongate was just brought up. Why don't

they ever just take advantage of that. He's lieing about everything, what does it matter if he doesn't answer the question, expose him as a liar.

[Mandate My Ass]

30. asking about 12-hour gap

When we've asked you about stmts made in 2003 about what Alberto Gonzales might have done. He restates what happened but you do not.

SM: We addressed this not going into that.

Q: Strategy re nuke missiles aimed at Iran. Given our prblms with iran to go ahead with nuke program. Concerned with if attak on US, would this create knee-jerk attack?

SM: not discussing nat'l security. Iran made committments to suspend activities. Expect them to abide. If they begin agahn they will violate paris agreement. Made it clear Iran has a hisotry of hiding nuke activies from int'l community. Need to show not develping weapns onder civilian prgam. Wld discuss with Europeans going to UNSC.

[Mandate My Ass]

31. energy bill. Will it decrease gas prices?

SM: repeat. Pres talked about this. Reduce our dependency, address root causes. Impordend to have policy.

Can you give a simple answer?

SM: No, have to go to root causes. Dependent on foreign sources of energy.

Asked you many times what pres is doing about gas prices?

SM: Not getting out overnight. Have to move forward. Very impordened.

[KeepItReal]

33. Black Bush: "Why you gon' ask me a question like that man?"

Dave Chappelle couldn't have written it any better...

[bunny planet]

35. LOL

[bunny planet]

32. Bullshit I say to you. This Energy bill addresses NOTHING.

IT will do nothing to make us less dependent on foreign energy sources.
What a crock. 'We're not going to get out of this overnight, blah, blah, blah.' This bill will not help us get out of it AT ALL.

[bunny planet]

34. The President being pleased is apparently the only thing that matters.

Who gives a shit whether or not the people he serves are pleased, right Scottie?

[Mandate My Ass]

36. does pres agree with roberts 2003 stmt that roe v wade is settled

or does he hope he will vote against it?

SM: pres does not have litmust test. Bleieves it's impordend to interpret our laws, not legislate from bench. Ideology should not get in way of impartial decision on law and facts.

We're two weeks away from 60 anniv of surrender of Japan. Does pres believe it would be wise and just on aug 15 for PM...or should just try and forget bataan death march.

SM: pres appreciates PM's friendship. Cannot comment.

Q: Tancredo suggests taking out mecca. Will WH ask him to apologize and take back like thye did to Durbin?

SM: pres clear Islam teaches peace. Stated his views.

[BR_Parkway]

38. Finger of Hostility questioned!

[Mandate My Ass]

37. Last nite on today show displayed a video of pres lifts his hand

and raises a finger. A finger of hositility.

What finger was that?

SM: I will not dignify with a response.

[bunny planet]

39. Great question about Jr.'s fickle finger of fate that Leno commented on

Scottie's not going to dignify it with a response.

[unhappycamper]

40. the finger question

was it the "finger of hostility?" PM- not gonna dignify it this with an answer.

[Mandate My Ass]

42. SM: I know the way the pres acts and i'm not going to dignify

that.

SM: Judges needs to be installed by Sept. American pple deserve senate to mv forward. Very impordened. Pres believes he should be in place. Nominated someone in timely manner. Getting senate all info they need, Hope they don't resort to these atttacks and delay and drag things out.

SDO'C has offered to serve if not confirmed.

SM: plenty of time. Senate was able to move foward. AVerage 40 some days on Ginsburg and Breyer.

[bunny planet]

43. Yes, Scott they did move forward. But this won't move forward unless

the nominee is proved to be suitable, which he probably isn't. Too much is riding on it, and over 60% of the US population wants us to determine Roberts position on choice before confirming him. He's already lied about being in the Federalist society, and important papers that would speak to his outlook are being withheld. Why the secrecy Puffy?

[Mandate My Ass]

44. Clear that intel did poor job in rounding up ppl in UK bombings

Can US say we did a better job infiltrating groups on American Soil?

SM: Not going to agree with way you characterized it. We continue to move forward. An ongoing investigation. We are taking all steps to make sure ameican ppl are protected. Can't do everything tho. Long term struggle of ideologies. Have to go after them over there and bring them to justice. Impordend to take the fight to enemy. Work to advance freedom and democracy. Pres beleives in imprdence of spreading freedom in ME.

[bunny planet]

45. Are they going to let him get away with this 'take it to the enemy' crap.

Another ongoing investigation that Scottie can't comment on.

[Mandate My Ass]

46. does wh consider 79 kidnappings an act of terrorism?

SM: The adm serving at the time commented on it and administration that came afterward commented on it. I'll leave it at that.

Violation of int' l laws and obligations. Iran is state sponsor of terrorism. Adm at the time commented on it.

[bunny planet]

47. This President would definitely know first hand about the violation of

international law.

[Mandate My Ass]

48. Is personal ideology acceptable?

SM:

Damn I lost it!!!

[bunny planet]

49. Just lost the feed, anybody else having trouble?

[Mandate My Ass]

50. the wh site is saying it has concluded

WTF? They werre right in the middle of grilling him.

[bunny planet]

51. Maybe Scottie wanted to leave early, it was getting hot in there.
